For Tax Collector

Mr.. r.. +. Thagard'S announce
ment appears in this issue OF the
Star AS q candidate for county
tax collector
1t is needless to add, Mr.. Thag-
ard is running as Simon pure
democrat, strictly in sympathy
and standing square on the CHI
cagO platform and all it. implies
in the decalogue Of .jeffersonian
principles. That he is capable, i
conceded by friend and foe, if he
has any Of the latter; that he is =
strictly honest and honorable
man, those who know Mr.. Thag-
ard through business relations
during the last fifteen years are
ready to attest; that he has
proved himself competent OIL
cial. the manner he has performed
tin. duty of his office and the
pr0mptnrsS and correctness of
his settlements are evidence
that he is the right man to per-
form the exacting and onerons
duties of the position. The Star
has no hesitancN in Saying; that
there are many other men in
Marion county who have the
requisite qualifications for this
responsible office and have
been tested, but with exper-
fence so dearly bought, let us
not forget that it Is the part of
wisdom and economy to only ac-
crpt that which has been tested,
and leave experiments severely
alone.
The fact that Mr.. Thagard has
done what no other tax collector
Of Marion county has ever offered
to do. namely-given an indemni-
ty bond in n Fidelity and Deposit
Company to his bondsmen for the
faithful and honest performance
of his obligations, as we'll rs that
Of the deputies under him-enti-
ties him to a consideration with
the tax payers Of Marion county
that cannot lightly be ignored,
for by so doing he has given Il
guarantee to those who went his
security, that no matter what
may happen to his accounts, if
shortage on defalcation should
occur, his hondsmen are made
whole and through them the tax
payer. Had such bonds been
given in the past by officials 10
their bondsmen the deficiencies
made by drfalcations of thous-
ands that now lay like a night
mare on the pocket books of the
taxpayers, which they must make
good, would not exist
The tax payer owes it to him
self and that principle of prudence
and self protection to encourage
the man who voluntarily recog-
nizes his obligations TO his trust
and throws safeguards around
the interests of those whose mon
ev he handles. Here is a princi-
pie of equity and protection that
commands reciprocity.

A Complete Cure Effected by
Hoods Sarsaparilla
Now Enjoying tho Best Of heaith
With Digestion Perfect.

"My mother was subject to sick head
aches and indigestion for over q year
She was unable to stand for any length
Of time, and was obliged to stay in a dark
room as she could not bear the light. She
had no appetite whatever and her stomach
was so weak she could not retain what
food she did eat. She also had severe
pains in her head. She suffered 80 much
that she became but the shadow of her
self. One day / happened to read tes-
timoniai about Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t

| persuaded her to try this medicine.
Before finishing the first bottle there was
an improvement in her condition. She no
longer threw up her food and her head
ache was not as severe. She took in all
four bottles OF Hoods Sarsaparilla and
several boxes OF Hoods Pills and regained
her weight. She is now enjoying the best
OF health. Her digestion is good and she
can eat almost anything she wishes. She
is AZ years old and says she feels as we'll
as when she Yas IS. Hoods Sarsapsrilla
made a complete cure in her case"

net on parade but her undercurrent OF
thought was still of Helen, though she
parried the questions of her husband
with the lightest digressions.
Up the steps of the miniature ca
thedral the brilliant throng OF Mayheld
was swarming, faces turned-amid the
gayety of dancing plumes and blooms
that cou tested from bonnet to bonnet
to note what their neighbors had
found or created to grace the happy oc-
casion.
Within, as Mr.. and Mrs. Montague
walked calmly up the aisle, the organ
was pealing eXultantly, pouring forth
its thousand voices of praise in an eX-
uberant and swelling river of harmony,
as if itself were the fountain OF melo-
dies divine.
They took their seats, and reached,
like children, each for the hand OF the
other, to exchange a gentle pressure.
No sooner had Mrs. Montague COM
menced a rapid survey of the congrega-
tion-in which her glance went fitting
from one exotic to another, like but
terfly in clover-than she found herself,
abruptly, looking in the face and at the
bonnet of Mrs. Kapulette. And Helen
in return was looking at her and hers
and the gaze of each was suddenly held
transfiXed.
Well might the old-time friends open
ewes of famazement-their bonnets were
counterparts-precise reproductions
each of the other; the same moss green
the same spray of feathers, airy and
filmy, the same mass of violets, nodding
and smiling and tossing their perfume
kisses across the aisle and seats OF the
chancel.
Both in confusion at last were glad tt
divert their eyes to the hymn books
held below the pews; but neither wa'

AN EASTER LESSON.
The Spirit of Love, Hope, Cheer and
Faith.

The Spirit of Love, Hope, Cheer and
Faith.
1t is ever the same, yet never the
same. This Easter, as all the Easter
days before, will set the bells a-swing-
ing, and will pile all the affairs high
with blossoms.
Think for one moment of the chorus
of praise that will go up on Easter
morning from all the churches in all the
lands of all the Christian world. And
that thought alone is enough to make
YOUR own heart echo with the Easter
Joy and praise. Think again of the
myriads and myriads of flowers about
the church affairs and in the homes of
the high and the low. And remember,
how all through this beautiful spring
time they have been getting ready for
this festal day.
Look ut the Easter from the universal
standpoint. Ask yourselves how much
of all the great worlds work and life
are due to love and hope and cheer and
faith.
We shall find leaning down upon these
qualities all that spirit which makes
our homes lovely All that spirit which
has built our hospitals and our
churches. All that spirit which has
made our nation worth living and dy-
ing for. And then let us remember that
these blessed things, love and hope and
faith, come to us through that tri'
umphant life that swung wide the gates
of Easter and let the King of Glory in
If we begin by looking into the sig
nifcance of all that Easter means uni
versally we are far more apt to ge'
what it means individually to every
soul. Or, if Individually, our hearts arr
not yet in perfect attune with Eastel
music and Easter praise, we have th'
better JOY of being glad that upon al
the rest Of this weary world the Sun o
Righteousness has risen. Whether t
us it is or is not the holy day, our heart
cannot fail to respond joyfully to tn
fact that, since He is risen, it is tn
worlds great holiday. - Washingto

For Helen and Fanny the Easter
service was dream of music, smiling
faces and weddings of the past and the
future. but the whole was far too long.
They would fain awake and span the
gulf between-and yet were vaguely in
doubt to think of what they would say.
When at last, to the peals of glori-
GUS postludium, the congregation
turned to move to the door in calm pro-
cession, young Jack and the blushing
Julia came tripping down the aisle in
time to take their respective mothers
bv the arm and halt them face to face
in the vestibule.
eve came from town to surprise you
both" said Jack, "and-ahem-to-to
ask you for each other. I want Julia
and Julia wants me, and it was for that
reason we sent the bonnets."
And the bonnets, being twins, resist
ing each other no longer, came nearer
and nearer together, till at length the
nodding violets on either one leaned for
ward and commingled lovingly with
those upon the other.-Ella Stirling
Cummins, in American Queen.

THE DATE OF EASTER.
Why 1t Is Sometimes Early and nt
Other Times Late.

Why 1t Is Sometimes Early and Mt
Other Times Late.
The date of Easter is determined by
the ecclesiastical calendar of the Cath
olic church. 1t is very complicated
and laborious affair invented by Lilius,
a Neapolitan astronomer and sage, un-
der Pope Gregory Kill, at the close
of the sixteenth century. 1t would be
preposterous to tax the brains of mod
ern readers with the abstruse calcula-
tions by which the date of Easter is
determined, but q few general rules
might be given for their enlightenment.
The regulations of the council of
Nice are four: First, Easter must be
celebrated on Sunday; second, this
| Sunday must follow the fourteenth day
| of the paschal moon; third, the paschal
moon is that moon whose fourteenth
day falls on or next follows the day
of the vernal equinox; fourth, the
equinox is fixed invariably in the cal
endar on the 21st day of March.
This calendar moon, it should be re
membered, is not the moon Of the heav
ems nor yet the moon of the astron
omers, but it is an imaginary moor
created for ecclesiastical convenience
From these conditions it follows thai
Easter Sunday cannot happen earlier
than the 22d of March or later than th'
25th of April.-|Detroit Free Press.

Miss lie Fevre's girl"
"There-there's Billings out at the
rate. Good-by, my dear. Give Jack my
love when you write-sorry he cant be
up for Easter. Good-by." Mr.. Mon
tague clapped his hat on his head sa-
hted his wife, made grab for his cane
and departed.
Then Mrs. Montague sat down TO
think of the trials of that time, little
less than a year before. There never
had been in the world, she thought, such
n long and beautiful friendship as that
between herself and Helen Kapulette.
To think that after having gone to the
same identical school together-the
best of chums-they were married the
very same day-to travel in separate d.
rections later, to be sure-and both mad
moved to May6eld at last to live. Mrs
Montague recalled every detail OF her
order for that fatal Easter bonnet; eX-
actly that delicate shade of yellow, and
what the trimmings were-and every
thing. Then the changes she had or
dered; the exasperating slowness and
stupidity of Miss LIE Fevre; the crazeo
despair, when, that Saturday night she
returned so late from calling with
Helen, to find that her bonnet had moi
vet arrived. And then that awful time
on Easter morning, before the girl came
weakly up the steps and handed in
the wrong bonnet-a bonnet she hat
never seen before-a horrid nightmare
of a thing in lavender and pink, whicl
she had to wear or stay at home-neV
blue silk and all.
She wouldn't have believed that Heller
could have worn her own very bonnet
and with yelling over the yellow at tha
and then be so hateful. She won
dered vaguely if they ever would speal
to each other again. No, she didn't be
lieve they would; she didn't believe tina
Helen was half so ready to forget an
forgive as she. Well, she would jus
let Jack get the bonnet in the city thi
year, and let the people of Mayfield star
if they wished.
So at length she arose and went to he
desk to write to her grown-up "boy."
In the course of time, and several day
before Easter, the bonnet from tn
great metropolis arrived along with

flawless sky of turquoise hue; the trees
wore freshest, fairest emerald leaves, or
pearl and ruby blossoms; the grass was
asparkle with diamond dew, and the
birds were chorusing in anthems as
clear and sweet as the crystal tinkle,

Mr.. and Mrs. Montague not only were
in harmony with all the scene, but were
really a part and parcel of it, as, with
faces gay with smiles, they slowly
walked the way to church. The bells
had never sounded half so musical and
liquid bright-that is, except on one oc-
casion, to which, indeed, Mr.. Montague
was moved now to allude.
"Just such morning as this" said
he, with a buoyancy in his voice, "that
we went to the chapel-so many, and
