fumed leaves, until in perfect and won
derful bloom the rich rose of love stood
waiting to be gathered.
Then some untoward fate turned Jacks
eyes in the direction of a sparkling debu-
tante, whose brunette beauty glowed like
rich ruby, in contrast with the cool,
pure turquoise charms of his own little
lady love. Dorothy watched his undis-
guised masculine admiration, and her
feminine soul grew bitter within her.
"How handsome Miss Hayden is" she
remarked, with assumed nonchaance, fol-
lowing the direction of his gaze.
And Jack, not having attained the wis
dom of angels, warmly agreed.
Quite the prettiest girl in the room,"
pursued Dorothy, smoothing her gloves
with assiduous care.

Easter morning does not prove
mans immortality. 1t asserts it.
In the universal resurrection from
the night of winter, as life which had
been sleeping returns, 1t asserts mans
communion and companionship with the
God who is life, il declares that man, a
child Of God, cannot die. Because he is
immortal he can come to his God as an
immortal comes, can speak, can listen,
can reply. He enters on this or that en-
terprise sure that he has infinite allies.
IL one Of these be called away they shall

who are also immortal. Each for each

through ages stupid and alone.
ITO renew such immortal life here is
the yearly mission of Easter day. That
this which Is mortal may be clothed upon

it was a bird the rabbit laid colored eggs,
and an egg has always been symbol
of the resurrection, and therefore used
as an illustration at Easter.
In many parts of Germany it is a
common custom for children to go TO their
godmother at Easter to receive colored
eggs and baked rabbit. Sometimes
the children are sent to the garden to
make a rabbits nest" with straws and
sticks, and in the morning they are sent
to gather the wonderful colored eggs
which the rabbit had laid for them. And
they always find them.

One of the quaint and interesting fea-

the appearance in shop windows, side by

cannot understand why bunny should
have a place in our Easter decorations

III feast of eggs. The
HH HIN ~ original use of the
WIlWl}H VAME egg at Easter simply
1IUIlMMn MMW typiied the revivi-
klINhVWMAU uN cation of nature.
iWNNNllvi Hl1NrTr7.T Some historians say
fxkXlNNE.T that the custom of
y giving eggs at East
III sl er is to be traced
INA (sI ASSAM back to the theology
Ms2 ~ ~ and philosophy Of
s. INS&SE the Egyptians, Per
-zs&N-[ Gauls, Greeks,
DN Romans, etc, among
u - all of whom an egg
was the emblem Of
the universe. the work of the Supreme
Divinity. The egg in all ages and in
every country has been the subject OF
poetical myths and legends. The ancient
Firms believed that mystic bird laid
an egg on the lap of Vaimainon, who
hatchctl il in his bosom. He let it fall
into the water and it broke; the lower
portion of the shell formed the earth,
the upper the sky, the liquid white be-
came the sun and the yolk the moon,
while the little fragments of broken shell
were changed into stars.
Hutchinson remarks that 1.-The egg was
held by the Egyptians as a sacred EN-
blem of the renovation of mankind after
the deluge. The Hebrews adopted it to
suit the circumstances of their history
as a type of their departure from the land
of Egypt, and it was used in the Feast
of the Passover as part of the furniture
of the table, with the Paschal lamb.
Christians have certainly used it on this
day, as retaining the elements of future
life, for the emblem of the resurrection.
1t seems as if the egg was thus decorat'
ed for a religious trophy after the days
of modification and abstinence were over
and festivity had taken place, and as
an emblem Of the resurrection of life,
certified to us by the resurrection from
the regions of death and the grave"
The usage of interchanging eggs at this
season has been referred for its origin to
the egg games Of the Romans, which they
celebrated at the time of our Easter,
when they ran races in an egg-shaped
ring, and the victor received eggs as his
prize. These games were instituted in
honor of Castor and Pollux, who fabu-
lists relate. came forth from an egg de-
posted by Leda after Jupiter had Wis
tied her in the shape of a swan.

Gov. Jones last week granted a
pardon to Charlie Lewis of ,Ou-
chita county, who was sent to the
penitentiary in 1896 to serve a
term of 16 years for murder. The
pardon was granted on the con-
dition that Lewis leave the state
within thirty days and forever
remain outside. We never could
find any reason in such condi-
tional pardons as this. If con-
vict merits a pardon he certainly
is good enough to be allowed to
remain in the state. If he is not
a fit citizen for Arkansas it is
certainly not exactly right to
force him on any of our neigh
bors. It's a fashion our governor
has Of making other states a re.
