The Crisls- OF To-day.

The following extracts from The
Crisis, published in NEs, are very ap-
plicable today:
Had it not been for America, there
had been no such thing as freedom
left throughout the whole universe.
England hath lost hers,in long chain
of rights, reasoning from wrong prin-
oiples, and it is from this country, now.
that she must learn the resolution to
redress herself and the wisdom how to
accomplish it."
/ "The. Grecians and Romans were
strongly possessed of the spirit OF lib
erty, but not the principle, for at the
tims- that they were determined not to
be slaves themselves they employed
their power to enslave the rest of
mankind"
"If there is a sin superior to every
other. it is that Of willful and offensive
war. Most other sins are circum-
scribed within narrow limits; that Is,
the. power of one man cannot give
them a. very general extension; and
many kinds of sins have only a men-
tai existence from which no infection
arises; but he who is the author of a
war lets loose the whole contagion OF
hell, and opens a vein that bleeds a
nation to death We leave it to Eng
land and Indians to boast of those
honors; we feel no thirst for such
savage glory nobler fame, a purer
spirit animates America. She has
taken up the sword of virtuous defense;
she has bravely put herself between
tyranny and freedom, between a curse
and blessing, determined to expel the
one and protect the other"

garter-must not be forgotten. In
pairs for real use, singly, in yellow, for
luck, the garter is perennial. This year
it is most gorgeous, being covered with
puffings Of chiffon or ribbon in Easter
colors and further decorated with bows
composed of chiffon, satin ribbon an
inch or more wide, baby ribbon in sa-
tin or velvet and narrow lace, the
latter also being intermingled.
Buckles are also added to many Of
the bows, with puffings covering the

the garter thus decorated looks 1t, but
a short study of the arrangement and
bit of mental arithmetic proves that
the method is really simple, the ex-
pense inconsiderable, and the effect a
fiat contradiction of both deductions.
The single garter is presented for
luck. 1t will call Cupid to aid the

While Uncle Ebby was eating. Ethel
filled basket with lint and set 1t on
the chimney shelf.
Nov. Uncle Ebby. listen to me-"
said Ethel, when you are sick in bed
you mustn't cali Jake or Tidy or any

TO call Jake and make him tie string

right over my head when you are sick.
You understand"
Jake! Jakew called Ethel. Jake
came when called, and after many
trials arranged an unsightly contr1v-
ance, so that the pulling of the string
did ring a bell just over EthePs 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 practical joke by ring
ing the bell, but papa's sharp repri-
mand prevented a repetition OF h3
mischief.
Suddenly one night the bell did ring.
long and loud Ethel jumped out Of
bed and in a few minutes stood at
Uncle Ebby's bedside. The moonlight
fell on the black face and white head.
Shaking his arm with all her might,
she called out, "Uncle Ebby, wake up!
The old man opened his eyes and
sat up in bed.
Didn't you ring the bell? What is
the matter?"
"Nuthin' tall" said Uncle Ebby. at
last recognizing the little sister.
Suddenly Ethel turned and perceived
curl of smoke in the corner OF the
cabin.
whats that, Uncle Ebby? Look!
Look"

And so 1t was. Uncle Ebby screamed
for help. Black and white rushed to

to reach up to Ethel's chamber, had
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, We'll, Ethel, which
is the Sister of Mercy, you or old Brin'

CIFT-GIVING AT EASTER.

Practice Still Prevails and Worry
Pretty Custom.
The old habit of gift-giving at Easter
Is still alive and it is the correct thing
that such gifts should be made by the
hands of the donor. Some of these are
pretty and comparatively inexpen-
sive.
Book and magazine covers made OF
water color paper or art linen are
among the pretty and useful gifts. A
cover for dictionary will serve as a
model. It was made Of white water
color paper of a light grade and used
on pepper covered edition that was
about five inches wide by six long. The
paper was first fitted to the covers OF
the dictionary and folded and creased
So that the surface to be decorated YVES
plainly indicated. On one side was
painted a full cluster Of forget-me-
nots. On the other was a smaller
spray, which occupied two-thirds OF
the space; the remaining third-1ust
in front Of the back-was tinted del
icate gray, on which, In gilt, in fancy
lettering, was the word Dictionary.
Then the cover was again folded over
the volume and this time secured
with mucilage or photographers paste.
Violets or any other blossom pre-
ferred could be used in place of the
forget-me-nots as a decoration. When
linen is used in making book or maya
zine covers embroidery is better more
satisfactory condition than painting.
Book marks are favorite Easter gifts
and generally hand painted on water
color paper, celluloid or ribbon. A
pretty one of the first material IS COM
posed of two strips of the paper cut
exactly alike-about an inch and three
quarters wide and five long. On the
center OF the under one Is % dainty lit
tie wash drawing: in the center of the
upper one is cut an oblong opening 70
fit the drawing, and on the Uncut sur
face is delicately painted bit of red
and yellow foliage, such as appears In
early spring on some varieties on trees
and shrubs. From between the ends
of the pasted strips extend bits OF
friuged ribbon in either Of the Easter
white, yellow or lavender.

IMPERIALISM AND MoNoroLY.

Any intelligent person who calmly
and without political prejudice contem-
plates the situation in which the gov
eminent and the people Of the United
States find themselves at the present
time must see that tho two great dan
gers confronting them are Imperialism
and monopoly.
Strange as 1t may seem, yet II IN
true that the existence of one of these
overshadowing dangers emphasizes the
folly of those persons who, either off,
cially or as private citizens, have
brought about the other. The plain.
cold truth is this: The government OF
the United States Is no longer gov
eminent of, for, and by the people. II
is government of, for, and by monop-
oily. And one of the forms which mo
nopoly has assumed in recent years
is that Of trusts.
The Sherman antitrust law enacted
few years ago is still on the federal
otoSueO ooOho, DuI PidSliSohiy ~ 40 -
dead letter. The party that adopted
the law is dominated by few corrupt
bosses, rich and powerful, who are
careful to see that the law is not en-
forced, and that the trusts, which are
combinations in restraint OF trade, are
permitted to cinch the people contin-
uously and to an unlimited extent. In
fact, most Of the bosses, from the pres
ident down to the weakest congress
man, are personally and financially in
terested in these oppressive comblna-
tions which threaten the perpetuity OF
popular government.
In the light of these facts 1t Is not
only foolish but hypocritical and Grim
inal for the national administration TO
go into the business of buying and sub
jugating other people. Every honest,
reasoning citizen should take bold
stand against trusts and imperialism,
for, unless those evils and landlordlsm
are overthrow, they will ere long
overthrow this Republic. Hoyt.

Tho Cure for Freedoms Evils.

There is only one cure for the evils
which newly acquired freedom pro-
duces, and that cure is freedom. When
a prisoner first leaves his cell he can
not bear the light of day: he is I'M
able to discriminate colors. or to rec
ognize faces. But the remedy Is not
to remand him to his dungeon, but to
accustom him to the rays of the sun.
The blaze Of truth and liberty may at
first dazzle and bewilder nations which
have become half blind In the house
of bondage. But let them gaze on. ami
they will soon be able to bear it
