Easter was observed yesterday in the
churches with appropriate and elaborate

clothes and headGear to display. The day
opened cloudy, and there was every indica-
ton OF adverse climatic conditions, despite
the promise of fair weather made by the
weather bureau officials. This cloudy con-
dltion brought about a furry of snow be-
tween the hours of and o'clock in the

NO BACK DOWN.

The anti-Imperialists are now ask
think about expansion now? because
Aguinaldo has not been conquered
and there is another call for troops.
The time, however, has passed for a
discussion of the merits of the policy
which led to the present war. The
mass of the people believe that wheth-
er expansion was or was not involved
in 1T, the United States have under
taken to prevent anarchy in country
which it has taken from Spain. There
were no sufficient moral guarantees
that Aguinaldo can give against anar-
chy, and the United States cannot con-
sent that the Philippines be turned
over to be looted by the TaglOs.
There is a marked change in the as
pect of the matter. The irrrepressi-
bles have become silent. The Hip

are too deeply concerned in the fate
of the men who are up to their waists

and sleeping in the floods. They are
sick and dying and we know it.
Even Charles Francis Adams, who
has opposed Expansion, believes that
the war must continue until its object
is accomplished There will be no
backing down. The men and the
money will be furnished to secure the
future good order of the Philippines,
whether we keep them or not.

The Advertiser published last Mon
day the outline of a plan which would
cause the assessments upon stocks to
be made in an equitable and business
like manner. This plan will probably
be adopted generally. Olaa leads the
way and announces that assessments
at the rate of 212 per cent, or soc. per
share. will be imposed at certain def
mite periods, commencing with Octo-
Der LIST. and extending to July, 1900
Investors, therefore, in making pur-
chases of stock, liable to assessments.
may readily calculate the amounts of
money needed to meet the assess
ments, and most undesirable specu-
lative element will be removed. This
is a business like proposition.

inaugurated for bringing the little

is to be hoped that his effort will be
crowned with the success which it so
richly merits. The best wishes of all

TAKEN BY STORM.

Beneath leafy maple tree, one lovely
summer day,
-Four little chubby chaps sat down, all
tired out from play.
And as they rested in the shade, each
one began to plan
What he would be in after years, when
he became man.
when / grow up said Johnny Jones,
I'll lead a robber band,
An folks will all be scared of us, I'd
have you understand.
When you pass through some lonely
wood III call my merry men,
An if you don't give us your gold I'll
take you captive then"
Il guess Ill be an Indian Chief" said
little Willie Wood.
AN then you fellows better watch your
scalps if you amt good.
Ill have a great, big tomahawk, an
feathers in my hair,
An take You for my prisoners If you
all don't take care"
Il think I'll be pirate bold when
get big an tall,
An float the black flag from my mast,
said little Peter Paul.
Then some day, when you're sailin'
past, before you stop to think
I'll board your ship an ketch you ALL as
quick as you can wink.
when | grow up said Bobby Ray,
with determined frown,
I'll be the big policeman on the tough
est beat in town.
An when | see YOU fellows pass I'll
jest pull out my gun.
An fore you say Jack Robinson I'll
nab you every one"
Now, just at this exciting point, of in-
terest most intense,
Old Father Johnson's donkey thrust his
head across the fence,
And, being of a social turn, TO argument
inclined,
He thought it time to give the boys
his views and speak his mind.
80, lifting UP his mighty voice, in most
impressive way,
lie ventured his opinion in a clear, de-
cided bray,
Which, breaking up our heroes talk,
so unprepared did find them,
grieve to say they ran away, and
never looked behind them!

TITLES AND BOOTS.

An engaging manner is useful every

This axiom is amusingly Illustrated by
a story which Justin Mccarthy tells.
Soon after the Civil War;" he says, II

New York, amusing myself by studying
the crowd, when shrill, youthful voice
accosted me with, 'Cap'n, shine yer
b0otsT

titles was ready and liberal at the time,
when SO many soldiers We're returning
to civilian life, and | paid no attention
to the invitation.
Just then rival bootblack passed. and
imagining whore the cause of my in
difference lay, he advanced, and pushing
past the unsuccessful claimant, he gave

me with the captivating words:
.Brigadier General, shine yer boots?
Il had my boots shined on the spot"

FLOWERS FOR TEMPERS.
Shame and Repentance Brought en- by
Work in Garden.

1t is told of the Princess Royal of
England, now the Dowager Empress of
Germany, that she had a very hasty
temper when she was a little girl.
Quick, hot words came readily to her
lips. and once she was even known to
speak angrilly to her gentle, indulgent
father, when he refused her some
trifling pleasure. Queen Victoria, al
ways a wise and kind mother, did not
punish her little daughter for these out
bursts of temper, but one day gave her
little garden for her very own, and
advised, when anger got the best of
her Judgment, that she 90 out to this
garden and work for a few moments.
The plan acted like a charms, and "a very
few moments among the smiling faces
of her flower friends brought the little
Princess, ashamed and repentant to beg
for forgiveness.
The habit thus formed in childhood has
never been broken, and during the entire
life of this, the oldest child Of the
English Queen, flowers have held high
nay, the highest-place in her regard.
When affairs worry and annoy her, as
they will worry and annoy Expresses,
she always found few moments in
which she could slip out among her
blossoms, and the silent companionship
Of the little pansy faces, the fragrant
rosebnds and the modest yiolets seemed
to give her strength to cope with any
difficulty, and wisdom to solve any puz-
zle.

Compared to the miserably poor of Lon
don, or even the poor of our own New
York, these little Dutch orphans are
much better off. Amsterdam has a
large orphanage, where it is the curious
rule that all the children shall dress
in costumes which are half black and
half red.
In most of the smaller towns of Hol-
land you will notice a collection of
sabots around nearly every front door.
No one wears these wooden shoes in
doors, and ON entering Il house a per-
son leaves them on the doorstep just as
we in this country sometimes she'd our
muddy 0yershoes.

RUNNING AWAY DAYS.
One OF the Chief Pleasures of Miss
Olcott, the Authoress.

Running away" was one of the chief
pleasures of the noted authnress, Louisa
M. Olcott, when she was a ybungster,
and brought the little culprit many
strange experiences. Once she passed
the day with some Irish children, who
generously shared their cold potatoes,
salt fish and crusts with her as they rev.

TWO QUEER MISTAKES.
A Boy and Parrot. and a Girl and a
Monkey.


IT is related of Marshal MacMahon
that. when a very little boy, he was
left for some time on n veranda, where
the most conspicuous object was a bril-
liant parrot in great gilded cage He
had never seen anything of the sort be-
fore, and soon approached to investigate,
Then, growing holder, he began poliing
and teasing the gorgeous creature, which
was swinging head downward in a GU
rious way, eying him sideways with
5eady black eye. After short time the
parrot had had enough of this; it righted
itself suddenly on its perch, and ejacu-
lated harshly:
Have you nearly finished"
The polite French child was astound-
ed, but he rose to the occasion. Pulling
off his cap with his best bow, he re-
piled, suavely: Pardon, monsieur, took
you for a birdr'
A fitting mate to this anecdote was
recently told of the little daughter of a
distinguished French scientist. She had
never seen a monkey, so when an organ
grinder accompanied by Jocko in cap
and jacket, appeared before the house,
her father took her out on the sidewalk
to view the creatures antics, expecting
that she would be much amused, but af-
ter single glance the little maid hid
her eyes against her fathers coat-skirts
and refused to look again, seeming much
frightened and distressed.
He soothed and coaxed her, wishing
to overcome her fears, but for some
time in vain. She would not for a
moment think of feeding the monkey
with biscuit, as she was urged to do.
Indeed, she would not even lift her
face.
but you are really very silly" the
father said at last, turning to take her
indoors. He is a harmless little ami

THE REFORMATION OF EDGAR

Little Edgar used to run off with the
boys to swim,
What time his mother sat at home and
worried over him;
She used to say day after day: ''Now,
Eddie, dear, if you
Run off again I'll punish you, and tell
Your father, too!'
And then the boys would come along
and ''holler" at him: Say,
You goin' with us to the lake to have
a swim today"
Then there would steal Ger Edgar's
face a wistful look and sad
And he would think how cruel were the
parents that he had.
And when his mothers back was turned
her precious little son
Would sneak out through the creaking
gate and break into run.
Forgetting as he sped away, the prom
Use he had made,
And stealing humbly home at night,
repentant and afraid.
Day after day he ran away and dove
from logs and docks;
He risked his life a hundred times
among the RATS and rocks;
His mothers blows he did not dread,
her hand was soft and small;
He felt his fathers lashings, burt they
did no good at all;
He promised nightly to reform-upon
his knees he vowed
And when the boys came by, next day,
forgot, and joined the crowd.
One morning Edgar's father, who some
times INDUCED in thought;
Said to his son: I'm glad that you go
swimming, as you ought;
And do not fail to go TO-DAY, my pre-
cious little lad
Go down and duck and dive and sw m
and make your parents glad!''
Thus daily Edgar's father spake, in
earnest tones to him,
And 10. that urchin straightway ceased
to care to go to swim.

WHIPPING MACHINES.
A New Invention For Scotch Mothers
Who Have Bad Boys.


If you We're a Scotch boy and We're in
clned to get into mischief you might
appreciate the value of a recently invent
ed Scotch machine. 1t is device for
whipping young folk who have been I'M
ruly. 1t is said that this ingenious ma
chine works like charm and will turn
out more well-punished boys in ain hour
than the average person could attend to
III a day. The machine is in operation
at the town of Airdrie. The complaint
that the boys make who have been
birchcd by the machine is that too much
time passes between the strokes and
each one OF them feels like sound
thrashing in itself. -Four strokes is a
pretty severe punishment for any boy.
The lads about the town of Airdrie are
said to either be growing better behaved
or are moving to another part of Scot
land
