The laws of the day of Henry VIII.
were very severe against beggars, and,
under a statute passed in that reign,
any one caught begging for the first
time, being neither aged nor infrm,
was whipped at the carts tail. If
caught a second time his ear was slit
or bored through with hot iron. II
caught third time he suffered death
as a felon, unless some honest person
having $50 in goods or $40 in land, or
some householder approved by the JUS
tees, would take the offender into his
service for two years, entering into a
bond of $50. So the law Of England
remained for sixty years. First en-
acted by Henry WILL, it continued un-
repealed through the reigns of Edward
and Mary. Reconsidered under Eliza
beth the same law was again formally
passed, The two legislative houses
thereby expressing their conviction
that it was better for a man not to live
at all than to live the life Of beggar

In 1899 it has been found necessary
to Stake the Easter thirst with a par
ticular drink invented for the occasion
The one that bios fair to be the most
popular is the liqueur creme de rose,
which comes from Belgium. This is
to be the drink par excellence at the
Easter luncheons. 1t can only be served
at a luncheon where all the table dec
orations are pink, for 1t is a rule Of
fashion that colors must harmonic.
The creme de rose is to be offered at
these luncheons in pale pink glasses
but somewhat smaller. Several fresh
rose leaves must be floating on the top
Of each glass as they are brought in.
More strictly of an Easter idea is a
new drink of creme de menthe and
crystallized sugar-"spun glass;" as it
is better known. This is for a green
orchid luncheon. The green mi,t" Is
made frappe, and the spun glass" rests
upon it's top, shaped in the semblance
of tiny lily. In this lily, to further
increase the resemblance, is the grated
rind of lemon, sprinkled with gran
ulated sugar. If carefully made this
peculiarly appropriate Easter beverage
is remarkably effective. The spun
glass" and the grated lemon rind at
once dissolve in the mouth as the IL
quid pours over it upon the glass be-
ing tipped.

of Little Conundrum.
Some days before Easter she went
with her governess into the city, and
saw woman attired in black gown,
a black bonnet and black veil. Inside
the bonnet she wore a closely fitting
cap, not at all like a widows cap.

Ethel, looking puzzled.
Yes. She spends her life in acts of
mercy to the poor and the rich, too, if
they need her"

Ethel, looking after the black gown.

did ring a bell just over Ethers bed.
Her brother Tom ridiculed it, but
mamma said Sisters of Mercy must be
patient under ridicule.
Every night Ethel hung her cloak
near her bedside ready to rush out
at the sound of the bell. One night
Tom played a practical joke by ring
ing the bell, but papa's sharp repri
mand prevented repetition of his
mischief.
Suddenly one night the bell did ring.

Uncle Ebby's bedside. The moonlight

The old man opened his eyes and
sat up in bed.

to be in direct ratio to its traditional

itself in bushes that cost $14 bunch.
Clever French roses they are, with
such natural look that the Fifth

hat. to be really swell. must be at least
$35. After that, anywhere into the
hundreds. Fifty dollars is by no means
an uncommon price for a New York
woman to pay for hat that takes her
fancy.

been passed through the COW shed. The
smoke had driven her to the open door,
and in making her way she had caught
her horns in the string. Fortunately
nothing was burned except the corner
OF the shed.
Next morning at breakfast Tom,
who had been very brave in putting
out the fire, said, well, Ethel, which
is the Sister of Mercy. you or old Brin-

But papa said. IF she had not been

NIGHT BEFORE THE BATTLE
Rousing Rally by the Third Ward
Republicans.

The Third Ward Republican Club of
~ held its regular meeting last night.
Great enthusiasm was displayed by the
large number present Within the past
Two weeks the increase of membership
has been twenty-four.
President William r. Hall in a short
address stated that little over two
years ago the club sprung into exist
ence, and from that time to the pres
ent the members have been working
increasingly for the cause of Repub-
licanism. He said he was eratified to
see such an interest taken in the party
wnlcn mas done so much for the work
ing people, as is being demonstrated
DAY after day from east to west, and
north to south. Prosperity is the
household word in every family in the
country. He said that men should he
at the helm who would conduct m,,nici.
pal affairs as we'll as those who are
managing the business of the nation.
The time has come for the voter to
look well to that party which has
brought about such grand successes in
business enterprises and good times.
and to cast his ballot for that party
from the top Of the ticket to the bot
tom he commended the club members
for standing together, and urged them
to continue to do so for the best inter-
ests of the community.
j. A. Green, candidate for School d.
rector in the Third Ward. delivered a
neat address and spoke for the entire
Republican ticket. He said he had can
vassed the ward many times, and found
favorable sentiment at every hand, and
had no doubt in regard to the outcome.
Z. M koening made few brief re-
marks, which were well received. The
club was also addressed by various
! members, who spoke enthusiastically
for the Republican cause.
Committees We're appointed to- be at
the three precincts in the ward to look
after the clubs interests The club adj
journed with three rousing cheers for
the Republican ticket.
