certain. Utah is growing less fond of Nc
Kinleyism every day. McKinleyism in
Utah means not only gold-buggery, but it
means the people be id. We party peo-
pic are working for ourselves. In postal
changes of the past the people of Sewer
county were consulted; not so now. Half
of the postoffces of the county have new
incumbents. and the people have not been
one exception. the selections have been

that cuts no zee. The people are to be
suited, and the party that ignores them
shows itself to be both vile and corrupt,

Easter Monday is the great carnival
of the year at Hallaton England. Then
the Unreasonable and bottle-kickine
take place. In remote times, says the
author of "Old English Customs" q
piece of land was bequeathed to the
rector, on condition that he and his
successors should provide annually
two hare-pies, quantity of ale and
two dozen penny loaves to be scram-
bled for on Easter Monday at the ris-
ing ground called Hare-pie Bank, a
quarter of mile south of the village
Usually pies Of mutton, veal and bacon
are substituted for the hare.
The procession is headed by two
men, who carry two sacks containing
the pies. After them come three men
abreast, each bearing aloft a bottle.
Two of these are filled with beer; they
are wooden bottles. iron-hooped. with
a hole from which to drink The third
bottle is a dummy, and, Of course, emp
ty. Occasionally hare is carried in
sitting posture. mounted on the top
of pole.
The procession increases greatly in
numbers as it approaches. Hare-pin
Bank, where the pies, which are al
ready cut up, are pitched out Of the
sack and scrambled for. The specta-
tors amuse themselves by throwing the
contents of the pies at each other.
Then follows the Hallaton bottle-kick-
ing.
One of the large bottles containing
ale is thrown into the circular hollow
on the mound, and the melbourne
men" try to wrest it from the Halla-
tonian grasp. A fierce contest then en-
sues, in comparison with which foot
ball scrimmage Is mere child's play.
The Hallatonians strive to kick the
bottle to their boundary-line over the
brook adjoining the village, while their
opponents endeavor to convey it to-
ward the Melbourne boundary. The
victors of course CLAIM the contents OF
the bottle.
The dummy" is then fought for with
undated zest, for the Hallaton people
boast that this haG never been wrested
from them. The third bottle is taken
in triumph to the market-cross, and
its contents drunk with accustomed
honors. The bottles are carefully kept,
and those now in use have done duty
for more than thirty years.

1t to the nest and go to hunt for more
II you find an egg with your name or
1t, it is yours at once; but you will
like it better If you put it with the
other eggs until the hunt Is over
Now!"
S-s-s-t went the shrill little whistle
and away sped one hundred nimble
feet.
What squeals Of delight there were
when an egg was found and proudly
brought to its place in the great nest
What funny remarks there were over
the first finds.
Ned called out, This was an easy
egg!" and sweet little Cathy said
mime was very hard" for Of course all
those eggs were hard eggs!
The little girls got tired first, but the
boys would not stop until the fifty were
found. Then the whistle was blown
and the children gathered about the
full nest.
Dicks was the last find, and as he
was the biggest boy there he counted
to see IL there were really fifty eggs.
"Why, there's fifty-one!" exclaimed
he, and sure enough a pure white egg
lay among the fifty gaily-colored ones
like lily in a pansy-bed.
What a surprise for everybody! How
did the egg get among its bright COM
panions?
Could any boy have brought it in
his pocket by mistake?
"Who found this white egg?" asked
the children's friend.
"Oh, did," said Dick, land 1t was a
hard one, too. l saw lots of easy ones,
but as l was the biggest I thought I
ought to leave them for the lttlest
ones The hunt was almost over and
I thought shouldn't find single hard

But where did you find it? I hid
only fifty colored eggs" said the lady.
"The whistle was blowing for us to
stop hunting" said Dick. "and l hap
pened to notice pussy curled up in her
basket by the fire in the dining-room,
so stopped to pat her, and as she
crooked up her back my hand touched
something hard under the cushion in
her basket. lifted it and peeped I'M

MUSICAL MEMORIES
Remarkable Tests of Bulow and Rubin

Remarkable Tests of Bulow and Rubin
stein-Patti Knew 40 Operas.
Possibly the greatest case on rec
ord is that wonder Of wonders, the
most intellectual of interpreters, the
late DR.. Hans Won Bulow, says Music.
He not only played all Of Beethoven by
heart upon the piano, but knew all
the symphonies in the same manner,
and practically the whole Wagnerian
output of musical metal, and 1t was
claimed that so great was the mass OF
piano music which Bulow retained
within the book and volume Of his
BRAIN" inscribed in mysterious hero
glyphics somewhere among the mole
cules of the gray matter constituting
the cortex Of his cerebral organ, that
he could have played twenty-five piano
recital programs without repeating
and without printed page. Since
these 70 about 1000 measures to the
hour, and two solid hours to an ordi-
nary Bulow program, this would rep
resent 100000 measures of music, or
about 1000 large pages, something
like eight or ten thick volumes. Even
Bulow was outdone by Rubinstein, In
the field of piano music at least, If we
can trust the anecdote mongers, for 1t
is claimed that in one season at st.
Petersburg he played a series Of re-
citals which exhausted the literature
of the piano and embraced 1900 dis
tinct compositions. 1t is mentioned OF
Mendelssohn that on one occasion, the
score of Beethoven's Sixth Sym
phony" having been misplaced, he
raised his baton and directed the work
from memory, but this does not seem
to me a feat in the least remarkable,
for the Pastoral Symphony" Is SO ex-
tremely lucid and 30 bewitchiagly
beautiful that the only thing dinicult
or remarkable would be the forgetting
of 1t. Nine. Patti knew forty opera

An Easter Song.
: Every face is beaming,

An Easter Song.
Every face is beaming,
Every step is light,
All the world is beautiful
From merry morn till night.
The little streams are dancing
81. And flashing, just for fun,
And joyfully to meet the sea.
The mighty rivers run.
And twice ten thousand flowero,
And twice ten thousand MORE
Are waking in the lonesome woods
And by the cottage door.
To count the Easter lilies
Is more than you or
Can hope to do the long day through
How hard soccer we try.
Every face is beaming.
Every step is light.
For DER the threshold Easter slipped
At waning of the night,
And little birds are singing
Like mad for Joy of life,
And all the hours, in sun and showers,
With trimming Joy are rife.
Uplift the songs Of Easter,
Let none today be still,
When this great world is like cup
That flowers overflll,
When blossoms deck the orchard,
And boughs are pink and white,
And winds go by, like wings that fly,
From merry morn till night.

Let me tell you Of some merry egg

cuddled in soft gray moss. When
first saw the nest 1t was empty, and oh,
what merry laughter there was as one

them to the messy nest, and this is

all her little friends might have as
much fun hunting eggs as she had
when she was a little girl.
But she had no barn, no haymow,
not even one hen. In spite Of this she
invited fifty small boys and girls at
Eastertime ito hunt eggs in my

You can imagine. how surprised those
children were, and you may be sure
that they were all there on time

room was low stand and on this was
the big nest, all covered inside and

this were gathered the eager children.
