EASTER MONDAY EGG.RoLL1NG
Thousands OF Children Spend q JOY
Gus Day in the White House
Grounds.

Clifford Howard. in writing Of the
annual Easter Monday egg-rolling in
the white house grounds at Washing
the Ladies' Home Journal. The chief
points of attraction" he says, ARE the
mounds of hillccks that rise in gentle
slope from the lawn in various parts
of the grounds. Their sides are rich
ly carpeted with soft, thick grass, and
here it is that the little children roll
their eggs. They Chamber up the hill
side with their baskets, the little tots
crawling up Oh hands and knees. and
then turn and roll their eggs one by
one down the green slope. But the
children do not confine themselves to
rolling eggs. Many of them take more
pleasure in sitting about in groups and
picking eggs with one another. This is
done by striking two eggs together
on their points. The one whose egg is
broken in this encounter is the loser
and gives up his egg to the other.
This game is particularly enjoyed by
the colored children, for it gives them
n good opportunity and n good excuse
to eat eggs, and there is nothing they
like better. Preparatory to an en-
counter, each little fellow tests the
hardness of bis egg by knocking it
against his teeth. If it can stand this
test it is considered n good one for
picking, and the owner sallies forth
with broad grin; confident of sue
cess. The boy who owns n goose egg
or turkey egg is a prince among his
fellows. Occasionally such boy ap-
pears. In all probability his shoes are
torn. his clothes are patched, and his
woolly head is adorned with an anti
quated and mcth-eaten fur cap. But
he could be no prouder nor command
greater respect if he were adorned
with regal robes. He is Immediately
surrounded and followed wherever he
goes by banG of admirers, who adopt
him as their champion and defy any
body to pick an egg with him"

Mr.. Dewey, too, saw something in life
which he had never seen before, hope
beyond the sordidness OF everyday
care. which lifts the spirit on invisible
wings into the realm of the unseen.
Life at the Dewey farmhouse was

ess to the tasteful dining-room, where
the lunch was set out on pretty table,
bright with silver and crystal, for the
Bonneys lived as we'll as their guests,
and enjoyed their best things every
day.
A stand by the window was filled with
Easter lilies. each bearing z tall shaft
of buds almost ready to blossom, and
in a little sewing-room adjacent, a table
was strewn with the details of an
Easter costume.

much show in that direction, do we?"
I'VE, don't make much fuss about
Easter at our house." replied Mr..
Dewey, uneasily, as he remembered
that not only Easter, but Christmas
and birthdays passed by UNDECIDED.
After all, life was a barren routine at
the Dewey farmhouse, and he was be-
ginning to realize it.
"Well, Easter means so much to us, -

we are going to have especially fine

Come in and enjoy it with u.s.
Mrs. Dewey looked at her husband,
eagerly. There was always SO much
to do at the farm on Sabbath morning,
when they were apt to sleep late, that
they had almost given up church going
entirely. 1t was another link out of
the chain which bound her girlhood

the things which Martha not only

The miller came out as the horses
trotted up to the door of the great,
busy mill. He had been acquainted
with Martha years before, and he
noted her tired face and shabby attire.
Martha Hills didn't get much of 4

reflected inwardly, as he invited her to
come into the Office and get warm while
her husband sold his wheat.
Martha forgot her longings in the
curiosities of the Office, the telephone,
the immense ledgers over which the
bookkeeper was pouring, the book
keeper himself, a thin, why man who
made figures with the quickness and
precision of an automatic machine.
His wife came in as she waited, a bril-
liant, graceful creature whose gar
ments were redolent with the perfume
of rich fur and odorous sachet powders.
A bunch of carnations was pinned to
her cloak. 'See what Bathers gave me

said. smiiingly to her husband, then

Mary Bonney was one of those sweet,
gracious women whose very presence
means peace and good will, and Martha
looked at her enviously as she moved

Easter In Russia.
Journal

The early morning hours of Easter
day are given over in Russia to re-
ligious observances, but after ten
o'clock the day becomes one of con-
VITALITY. The practice of New Years
calls is observed in Russia at Easter,
and everything is fun and iollity. On
the streets gayly dressed men and
women salute each other, and exchange
decorated Easter eggs. Formerly every
one enjoyed the privilege of kissing
whom he met. but this practice has
lately fallen into disuse.

this region is included in territory that
will demand 60 cents per ton instead
of %, as fixed by the companies.
As the Meyersdale operators have
declined to yield II rate that will equal
ize that region with this, it is far to
presume that the company figure will
remain 50 here
lnsistence upon that figure on one
side and 60 on the other, therefore,
means suspension for time indefinite

Quite a large delegation, including

Tuesday to oppose the anti-pollution
bill.

OF 1t and had n counter delegation on
hand from Cumberland, headed by
David }. Lewis, strongly surcharged
with his doctrine of municipal owner
ship, especially by the municipality in
which be lives.
Notwithstanding the fact that Cum
berland held the boards all alone for
time last week, somebody persuaded
the committee to do Westcrnport the
injustice of taking half the latter's
time and turning it over to Cumbcr-
land. In consequence, Westernport's
showing was II failure.
The result was shown not long after
IN favorable report by the committee
of Graetfs bill. Another member of
the delegation endeavored to get it re-
committed-to the AlIecauy and
Garrett county delegations, but Graetf
seemed to have more friends than all
the other four. and this was defeated.
The proper move was to get it before
the Judiciary committee, because, as
matter of fact, if the Legislature knew
il, Graetf's bill is a ease removed from
the jury system to that body for final
trial, with Gra-tf, one of their own
number, rs the only witness.

Wrong View.

OF the prospects of the antipollution
bill the Homecoming Star says:
The democratic members who are in the
majority, will likely vote for the bill, as it is
deemed an efficient means of splitting the re-
publican party IN Allegany county, and the
measure will be made a law solely for the
purpose of advancing democratic interests.
The JOURNAL does not take that
view of it, for the reason that the
democratic party in the county is
quite as badly divided upon the
propriety of destroying home indus
tries as the republican.
And unless Cumberland stops its in
sane work, the situation will so re-
main.
1t will be one divided party against
another, with the odds still IN favor of
the republicans, anil the republicans Of
Georges Greek at that.
In any event it can be put down
tlat-footed that the only show Cum
berland will hereafter enjoy under
either party will be won only after
she has made non-p artiSaus of her
most influential d"strurti0nists by
samming Them into the insane asylum.
