The Dny For Spring Reioicine.,

Easter the world over means, first Of
all, the coming of light and the going Of
darkness. 1t means, too, happiness, q
holiday, flowers, springtime gladness,
the putting away of the old and the put
ting on of the new. 1t means comfort
confidence, rejoicing, the fultillment Of o
promise, the death of old doubts and the
birth of new certainties. Indeed it means
SO many things and SO much that if any
of us really understood them all life
would never seem a bother or burden
any more. We would all be better men
and women, and the world itself would b;
so much better IL place i'll every way that
the kingdom Of heaven ut last would Ger
tainly lie found among morta!s. =
And there are so many ways OF prov
ing that these things about Easter arc
tr;Ic. so many reasons to give for them.
that you or ! might easily spend all Oul
life in talking of nothing else and still
leave much to say to those who came
after.
Suppose, for instance, we made the
meaning of one fact about Easter oul
own, what Il load of misery, of doubt,
misunderstanding, rebellion, wild Ques
tionings and despair would disappear all
at once out of our way. We celebrate
Easter as you know, because on that day
Christ. who had been crucified. rose again
from the dead. Now, among people
where the name of Christ was never
known this same time of year was kept
with celebrations and rejoicings to COM
memorate the idea of deliverancc, the
coming of light, the resurrection Of the
flowers and all green things which had
seemed to die with the darkness and cold
Of winter months.-New York World.

New York. Aug. 1.-The small amount

of over two points. but it closed with
net loss of IS. The action of the directors
in providing for two semi-annual divi-
dends OF per cent. each was quite I'M
expected. as only one had been definitely
promised. There was a slight furry and
some feverishnesS in the shares as a re-
suit. but the downward course ensued on
offerings of some heavy blocks which
looked like realizing. This carried the
stock to Iiss. which was the low price
of the day. The friends of Union Pacific
then attempted to make use of the dis
crepancy in the prices Of that stock and

The Old Town. Augusta Game.

In loosely played game of base ball
the Old Towns defeated the Augustus.
Wednesday afternoon, at Webster
park. Old Town, the score being IL TO
10. The home team started the game
with a rush and in the first three in
nings ran up II scores and then thinking
that the lead was sufficient went to
pieces but it made the crowd a little
nervous to see the Augustus gradual
~ creep up on the score. The nome
team was somewhat crippled by the
q bscnce of McAllister. the third base
man. while the Augustus were not up
to their usual clip on account OF the
inability to bring four of the regular
men with them. A large crowd wit
messed the game and while the Old
Towns Won out there would nave been
4 little better satisfaction if the game
had been played with little more snap

The locomobile affects horses in diff
ferent ways. For the greater part
they do not mind it at all, and 90 out
of 100 will not notice the machine as
much as they do an electric car. but
once in Il while a horse will be scared
at first sight. Such an instance was
cited in the case of Mr.. Hammonds
horse out at the lake. The animal was
coming up from the grove and met Col
Soule in his loco on the driveway. and
before the boys driving the horse could
control him. he was nearly over in the
woods with them. When he was final
ly driven up to the machine he was
fairly paralyzed with fright and fell to
the ground. This same horse never
minds an electric or steam car in the
least. Another young horse owned by
Mr.. Hammond. which is considered shy
of such things passed the loco without
apparently seeing it. The few horses
that are shy of the horseless carriage
will have to become used to it. for il
has evidently come to stay.
