'1HEkE! WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT,
HELEN?'
Guilty. But she did not wish to appear
selfish, and she wished very much that
her father should be able to give her
mother Il present, as he had intended
to do. Just then she remembered that
she had 50 saved up, which she had
made by giving music lessons, and that
suggested to her scheme by which ev-
erything could be settled satisfactorily.
Going to her father, she put her arms
about his neck and said
Would you think ME very selfish if
| really wanted that hat?'
"Why, no, my dear.
But | won't accept it all as a gift.
l have So and | will give You that for
it, and you can get something else for
mother.
Il don't think l could get another
hat like that " said the professor, half
sadly.
"No, said Helen, with a half sob
and half laugh, Il am afraid you could
not, but you could get her Il lovely easy
chair, and now that she is troubled so

comfort to her all the time, while she
could only enjoy hat when she was
able to walk out.
SO the matter was settled, and.
though it was a little hard for Helen to
bear the quiet reproach of her mother
for wearing such a hat and to bear the
surprised smiles of her friends as she
appeared in church with it, she bore it
all heroically, and she smiled back at
her father, who was SO thoroughly hap
Ply i'll way that would have done
credit to Il martyr, and it detracts moth
ing from her goodness that at the same
time she was wondering how long it
would be before he would again be so
absorbed in his work that she could
change and tone down the hat without
his noticing the difference.

Others that she never expected any
thing for herself, and as nothing had
been said to her about it she would not
feel hurt. But as soon as he made the
suggestion Helen protested, and her
protests were not wholly disinterested.
The hat was no mere appropriate for
her than for her mother, and she shud
dered at the thought of wearing it,
ooh, | couldn't think of being so
selfish!' she protested, and then she
ran away to her own room to think of
something to do, leaving the good pro-
fessor woefully perplexed.
In the privacy of her own room Helen
faced the situation and laughed and
cried over it. 1t was both ridiculous
and perpleXing, but she must find some
way to keep her father from giving her
mother a present that she could not
wear to please him The more she
thought about it the more clear it be

tibi, Domino, " it strikes the Oulooier
as the awakening to life of IL small
world Of people.
Only by comparison can one form a
correct idea of the magnitude of a full
cathedral congregation An army Of
II, 900 soldiers will make close line
of battle 2l2 miles in length. standing
two ranks deep, and a procession Of
II, 600 people marching in four files
will extend along 80 blocks as they
average on Broadway and the avenues
in New York city.
But the $4,000 souls assembled at
the II o'clock mass does not represent
one-half nor one-quartcr of the praise
rendering throng who commemorate the
rising of our Lord on Easter day within
the cathedrals arches There are eight
services especially arranged for this
festival, not more than two or three of
which are attended by the individual
worshiper Yet at all Of them this inn
mense editice is packed from chanccl
rail to vestibule At least 30. 600 differ
ent persons gather at the combined
services; hence counting those who at
tend two or more Of them, it may be
said that praises are offered up to fol-
low the imaginary resurrection Of the
Saviour from 100, 600 throats in this
one temple alone. And then the music
the roll of more than 100 organ pipes
the chorals sung by 400 male voices
the solemn yet inspiring chants, the
services read by Is priests, all moving
upon and thrilling this devout multi
tude! When the Credo is taken up by
the solOist. accompanied by the harp
and violin, one can almost feel the fer
vor of the confession breathed from
every pair of lips. The atmosphere is
charged with religious inspiration and
the soul seems to soar forth in response
to heavenly voices.
There is another cathedral scene typ
ical Of Easter, because this festival falls
in the season of sunshine and clouds. A
passing cloud will cast a dim, unCer-
tain shadow over the assembly through
the soft toned windows, then break
away letting a burst Of sunshine spread
its halo over the worshiping throng. II
the congregation be kneeling, streams
of sunlight, broken by lofty columns
and window arches, rest like golden
wings of cherubim and seraphim above
the bowed worshipers. If standing, they
circle about their reverential faces in
the old time sanity fashion. No one
who has witnessed it and felt its power
can ever forget the soul melting splen-
dor of the suddenly revealed sunlight
illumining with varied hueS the vast
cathedral interior on the occasion Of Il
crowded Easter service.

years he had had an assured income
that barely sutficed to pay the household
expenses His wife or daughter always
collected it. and he seldom handled
money except on Sundays, when his wife
gave him dime to put in the collection.
But before laying the letter aside, in
order to have it returned to the post
man, he had the curiosity to look at the
note which was inclosed, and then he
found that the check really was for him.
Many years ago. just after he had
left college, Professor Barton had writ
ten series of essays on ''Iberian Folk
lore George Borrowe and the Gyp-
sizes In Spain. ''LOyola, "TOrque
mada" and THE Inquisition. He had
forgotten all about it while toiling at
his great life work. "Annotations on
the Pentateuch. but the war with
Spain had caused a sudden demand for
books dealing with the Iberian penin
sula, and his publisher had placed on
the market a few copies of his volume
that had been stored in the cellar for
years, and here was a check for $14 3S
in payment of the royalties that had
unexpectedly accrued.
"Well. bless my soul, said the pro-
fessor. This is very remarkable. l had
actually forgotten all about that book.
l wonder if have Il copy of it on my
shelves
After long search he found a dusty
copy on top shelf, and smiled softly

her about it. and I'll give her the check,
for it was really for her sake that
earned it. -
But as he rose to go to her an idea
occurred to him. and he paused. After
moment y thought his face flushed
with happiness. and he exclaimed en-
Enthusiastically:

He went out into the sitting room
and. seeing his wife busy with her sew
ing, he stole up and surprised her with

Something just reminded me of

And he patted her gray locks with the
fondness of il lover. But the idea of the
present was in his head, and he did not
stay for more explanations. Going to

ON EASTER MORNING.

/ saw you kneel. grave eyed and sad,
Between the lilies tall,
A flower amid Gods purest flowers
And holiGst of them all!
While from the laundering organ rolled
Glad notes that Christ was born,
White souled amid the lilies tall
You kneIt that Easter morn.
The gold light streamed through dusky
panes
And fell on your soft hair
Until it seemed a halo placed
BY angel fingers there.
Your pure lips prayed that He might
cause
Old doubts and fears to cease
And that your troubled bosom grow
A chamber white with peace.
And as each \ y there once broke
Up through the prisoning sod
saw your soul that Easter morn
Mount gladly up to God.

Tis Easter in the garden beds.
Beneath the fertile mold
The daffOdil and buttercups
Are hiding heads OF gold.
'Tis Easter, where, on slender spires
OF hyacinthne bells,
Their pink ana purple censcrs swim
ON tiny pedicels.
'Tis Easter, whore the pansy blooms
Rise, smiling, from the dead,
Where lilies Of the valley droup
Each chastc ana Chaliccd head;
Where Violcts blink, where tulips glow
And golden ciUquctoil Creops.
'Tis Easter in the flower world
Wake. everything that sleeps,
For Easter musics on the breeze,
A gloria in the air.
A symphony of soft south winds

birthday had been entered with her
name and that it was near at hand. He
then hunted up an almanac, and found
that her birthday fell on Sunday, and.
what was more, on Easter Sunday.
That recalled to him how he and she
had walked to church ON Easter Sunday
when they We're lovers. and how pretty
she looked in her bright Easter bonnet
Il have it, he finally exclaimed to
himself. Il will buy mother a nice
Easter bonnet for a birthday gift, and
used to years ago.
Full of his new idea, the professor
asked for his overCOat and hat and an
nounced that he was going down town.
Such a thing was unprecedented, but
he seemed so happy and mysterious
about everything that his wife and
daughter let him 90 after seeing to it
that his coat was buttoned closely, his
mutfler in place and his gloves on. And
as he was going out the door he sur
prised his wife with another kiss and
there was something boyish in his
laugh as he noticed her confusion. On
the street he walked with an unaccus-
toned life and spring, for he was not
turning over in his mind some problem
of higher criticism, as was his habit
when walking.
81 should really walk more, " he said
to himself as the exercise started his
blood circulating and sent it tingling
to his finger tips This spring weather
makes me feel like boy again.
He knew that the first thing he must
do was to get his check cashed, so he
went to the bank that looked after the
little estate that had been left to him
by his uncle and that enabled him to
devote his time to study Going to the
paying teller S wicket, he handed in the
check The young man behind the bars
looked the check over. then looked at
the professor.
care you Professor Barton ?" he asked
suspiciously
"Why, yes, replied the professor in
surprise.
But l don't know you. You must
be identified.
"1dentitied? l don't understand.
''Why, you must get some one to
come here with you who knows you.
But | have my account in this bank.
My daughter comes here every quarter
for the interest.
Il know Miss Barton quite well, but
l have never seen you before
At that moment the president of the
bank happened to be passing through
the room, and his attention was at
tracted by the puzzled face of the pro-
fessor. Glancing at him IA second time,
he approached with extended hand:
''Hello, Barton! How are you?''
"Eh! What's that?''
"What! Don't You know me?''
81 am afraid said the professor,
"that you are in the same fix as l am.
You will have to be identified
The bank president laughed uproari-
ously.
Can it be possible that you have
forgotten the night of the class dinner
when you as class orator and l as toast
master were captured and imprisoned
by the sophomores?'
"What! You are not Fatty Smith p
"That's who l am, Plug Barton,
and the president laughed. But what's
this?" he added, noticing the check in
the professor S hand. Here, Schenck,
cash the professors check for him. -
After he had indorsed the check and
received his money he and the bank
president went into the private room
and talked over old times till the pro-

The propositions we make herein are
to all responsible individuals, in each and

LIBERTY IN THE ORIENT.
Mr.. Bryan Makes Some More Very Pertinent
Suggestions.

Sukkootiohos
Colonel VIM. Jennings Bryan made q
speech at ST. Paul, Mimi, last Tuesday
night, at which he said in part:
"The ratification of the treaty, in.
stead of committing the United Slates
to a colonial policy, really clears tht
way for the recognition Of Philippine
republic. Lincoln, in his first inaugural
message, condensed an unanswerable
argument into u brief question when
he asked: Can aliens make treaties
easier than aliens make laws" The
same argument is presented in The
question: Can the independence o
the Filipinos be secured more easily
by diplomacy from a foreign and hos
tile nation than it can through laws
passed by congress and voiciug the
sentiments of the American people
alone?' If independence Is more de-
sirable to our people than a colonial
policy, who is there, or what is there
to prevent the recognition of Philip
pine independence? 1t is absurd u
say that the United States can be trans
formed from a republic into al empire
without consulting the voters.
"The Imperialists may be willing to
deny to the Filipinos the right to gov,
ern themselves; but they cannot deny
to the American people the right to
determine the policy to be pursued by
the United States in the settlement o
the Philippine question.
g.. "Until the people express themselves
we can only guess at their views; but
is it not safer to suppose that they will
adhere to the ideas and policies of q
century than to assume that they will

ally in securing independence, the cit

WHERE THE LINE WAS DRAWN.
My friend, Mrs. Mitchell, and were
going out to pay some calls. On
reaching her house I found she was not
yet ready, and went up to her room at
her invitation to wait there for her.
As she was combing her hair | glanced
out of the window and saw her young
son climbing a tree and in very pre-
carious situation. I called Mrs. Mitch
ellis attention to this and she put her
head out of the window and shrieked :
"Henry, get down out of that tree
Immediately. You will fall and break
your limbs"
Her dutiful offspring looked at her
as she stood there with her head project
ing beyond the easement, and then
yelled back:
"Put your head in that window, you
old turkey buzzard."
listened to this in Mortified amaze
ment, and waited to see what my
friend would do about it; but, to my
further standardization, she serenely
went on combing her hair, and evil

notice of her sons rejoinder. So

"Why, Ellen Mitchell! Do you al

me with great dignity, "my children
know they can 60 just so far with me
