THE STORY OF EASTER

lief that Christ was typified by the
paschal lamb slain at the feast of the
passover, which was ordained by Moses
in remembrance of the passing over of
the Israelites when the first born of
the Egyptians persisted. The early
Christians continued to keep the Jewish
feast for only a short time and then
celebrated in it's place the Christia n
passover, instituted by Christ at the
last supper, the last passover supper
before his qualification. The Greek and
Latin churches, however, did not agree
as to the exact time of the Easter cele-
bration, and While some We're mourn
ing in commemoration OF the occasion,
others were rejoicing in the resurrec-
ton Of the Saviour. Neither church
wished to celebrate it at the same time
as the Jews. and as there was no
Gregorian calendar to help them, it was
a difficult matter to settle, and toward
the end of the second century the dis
pute on the subject became warm.
The Jews celebrated their feast on
the 18th of the month Nisam Cor
March, and the Christians kept Easter
in the same month, but always on Sun
day; still, in some years the Christian
festival conceded with the passover Of
the Jews.
Finally, at the council of Nice, A. D.,
325, it was ordered that from that time

LARAMIE, Wyo., April 1-At the
beginning of the last war the Zouave
regiments, which were first organized,
were received with great popular en-
thusiasm sand did much to arouse the
martial spirit. Now that war with
Spain seems imminent, the military
enthusiasm seems likely to be aroused
for quite different kind Of organiza-
ton and yet one which bids fair to be
equally picturesque. I refer to my
voluntary offer to organize a regiment
of cowboys for service against the
Spaniards
l was presented by Senator Warren,
Of Wyoming, the other day to the
president, and asked authority to i'm
mediatefy organize twelve troops of
cowboys, urging their known loyalty
and admitted bravery as a reason why
they should be called into service, and
referred to them as hardy men, per-
feet horsemen, and able to cope with
all difficulties and competent to pro-
vide for themselves under all circum-
stances. The president expressed his
thanks and, without making any
promises, assured both Senator War
rem and myself that In any case of
necessity the cowboys should be re-
memebered.
We also called up Gen. Nelson A.
Miles, commanding the army, and can
vassed the situation and considered at
length the subject of the organization
of the cowboy rangers. Upon the
subject Gen. Miles said:
1.-THE services of such regiment
would prove invaluable to the govern
ment. The cowboys are able in pre-
eminent degree to take care of them
selves. They are always at home and
know where they are; even a blizzard
is unavailing to lose one of them. They
are the best horsemen in the world
and do not know what fear is"
Approved by Miles.
In reply to the inquiry as to what
might be done in a preliminary way
towards getting ready, he said "Pick
out your subordinate officers and find
out where your men are in the event
they are required"
l telegraphed Gov. Richards. of
WyOHllHS, asking II ne would approve
the organization of a regiment of cow
boy rangers, and the governor answer
ed that he would.
1t is not proposed, by the organize
ton of the new regiment, to interfere
in any way with the wyoming militia
for actual service in the event of war.
but to simply organize the additional
regiment so that there may be dis
tinct cowboy organization for mounted
service wherever needed.
If it transpires that special legislation
is needed in order to provide for the
desired regiment, I have no doubt it
VIII be passed with the same unan-
unity as the appropriation for fifty
millions of dollars.
AS to the probable effect of such leg
islatfon it will no doubt provide for the
election of the troop officers by the
men. They are all men of Independent
characters and would not consent to
be commanded by officers other than
those Of their own choice. The field
officers should be chosen by the troop
officers. In this way every officer would
be the choice of the men and in con-
sequence would be much nearer to them
than they would be If appointed.
The. usual newspaper cowboy" is
quite different from the real article.
