The day that has been looked for
ward to with great interest by the Re-
publican voters of Ohio county in gen
erai and a number of candidates in
particular has enthusiastically April
IS, the date of the primary election. To
say that the interest is at fever heat
is not exaggeratlng in the slightest de-
gree. The contests for sheriff, prose-
cutting attorney, and the two assessor
ships have waxed exceedingly warm
within the past three or four days so
warm. in fact, that the candidates
themselves Will be glad when the agony
is over,
In the city districts the primary will
be from II a. m. to p. M, and in the
three country districts from p. m. to
Z D. m. For the first time in Ohio
county, the Australian ballot VIII be
used, and although this change had
been vigorously opposed by a oonsldcra-
bic element when It was decided upon
in March, there has been change OF
sentiment since, and now nearly every
body agrees that 1t was the proper
thing to do. with this style of ballot,
however, II is likely the aggregate vote
will be cut to some extent, but never
theless the general expectation is that
with good weather the vote to-day will
reach 5000. A thousand less than this
number, however, would not be a dis
appointment.
Yesterday and last night the county
committee was busily at work arrang-
ing for the election of to-day. The
booths and ballots were put in shape
last night, and will be on the ground In
the several districts early this morn
ing. The names of the candidates for
the county offices will appear on the
ballot in this order:

EmbIems of the Resurrection.

With the egg and the chrysalis all are
familiar, but in olden times kernels Of
grain were also used. In England tiny
cross, together with grains of barley and
wheat, have been found in the center
block of oaken mantelpieces. The GUS
tom had long been forgotten, when it was
recalled by the discovery of three such
emblems in the mantel of the room in
which Shakespeare was born. The house
was being restored, and one of the COM
missioners in charge took a block Of the
old wood for n souvenir. He gave it to n
friend, q Shakespearean scholar, who,
wishing to share it with another, tried to
split it and found it hollow. 1t contained
a cross, three grains Of barley and piece
of tow. TO his honor, be it said, he re-
stored the relic to the house at Stratford-
upon-Avon, where it is now on exhibition.
A great sculptor once said of the three
processes used in making q statue, '"The
clay is this life, the plaster is death, but
the marble is the glorious resurrection"

Reproaches of a Hero.

divorce" had just settled down for it's
long run when one evening l received q
weighty letter. On opening it l found it
on excellent paper, in the clearest hand
writing and using the most perfect or
biography and grammar. A gentleman
had nevertheless gently, almost tenderiy,
reproached me for using the "story of
his life" for the play.
He said he knew Mr.. Days name was
on the "bills" as author, but as l was an
Ohio woman he of course understood
perfectly that had furnished him with
his story for the plot of the play. He ex-
planned at great length that he forgaye
me because 1 had not given Mr.. DAILY his
real name, and also remarked in rather
an aggrieved way that he had two chill
dren and only one appeared in the play.
He also seemed considerably surprised
that Mr.. Harkins (who played my hus-
band) did not wear a large red beard, as
every one, he said, knew he had not
shaved for years.
My laughter made its way over the
transom, and in a moment my neighbor
was at the dressing room door, asking for
something she didn't need, that she
might find out the why and wherefore Of
the fun, and when the red beard had
started her off another came for some
thing she knew l didn't own, and she,
too, fell before the beard, while a third
writhed over the forgiveness extended to
me, and exclaimed:
ooh, the well educated idiot! Isn't he
delicious"
1t was only Mr.. DAILY who astonished
me by not laughing. He, instead, SEEM
ed quite gratiied that his play had so
clearly reflected real life story.-Clara
Norris in Critic.

Newest Styles In Easter Gloves.

The spring glove differs somewhat from
those Of last season, but it is only in
trifing points. not in general essentials.
To conform to the new sleeves the
gloves for the street are Of two button
length and are fastened with large pearl
buttons. The tiny glove button is thing
of the past SO far as the immediate fash
ion Is concerned, and the larger, more
convenient button obtains. 1t is the size
of those worn on the Russian gloves of
the winter.
The newest gloves are stitched in black
and are bound with piping Of black kid
around the wrists.
Evening gloves also show the large but
tons, and they are stitched in black,
white or self color.
The colors most used for day are deep
tan. bordering on yellow; the OK blood
red, dark electric blue, stone gray, and
other shades Of gray and tan which have
been so long popular.
For evening wear there are all the deli
cate shades to match dresses-pink, blue,
nile green, pearl, lavender, primrose, buff.
cream and white. The lengths are the
same as usual, to the elbow for the elbow
sleeve and the extra long for the sleeve
that does not come to the elbow.
Dressed kid seems to obtain for the
street and suede for evening wear, al
though the order may be reversed for
those who prefer it.
Black suede gloves will be great deal
worn this spring, especially with gowns
that have much black in the trimming

Points d'AnEleterre Lace.

Louis XIV, by the advice of his minis
ter, Colbert, encouraged lacemaking in
France. The Venetians, who had hith-
erto monopolized the art, issued DEGREES
forbidding their craftsmen TO leave the
republic under heavy penalties, but in
spite of this the points de France" soon
equaled the points dc Vcnise." The
origin of the name points d'AnGleterre"
is curious. In 1862 the English parlia-
ment forbade the import Of foreign lace,
but fax grown in England was not fine
enough for the best lace, for which there
was a great demand at the court OF
Charles II, so the merchants bought up
the choicest laces of the Brussels market,
struggled them over to England and sold
them under the name Of points d'lAngle-
ierre.' "-Spectator.

THE LORD OF LIFE.

Most glorious Lord Of Life, that on this day
Didst make thy triumph over death and sin
And, having narrowed hell, didst bring away
Captivity thence captive, US to win;
This joyous day, dear Lord, with joy begin,
And that we, for whom thou diist sin,
May live forever in felicity.
And that thy love, we, weighing worthily,
May likewise love thee for the same again;
And for thy sake, that all like dear ddst buy,
With love mag one another entertain.
So let us love, dear love, like ought;
Love is the lesson which the Lord taught.

AN EASTER SKETCH
BY ELSIE .REHSONER
Observation-Disclosures;


Xerxes was tired. Xerxes was hungry.
Stopping for a moment to rest, he sat
down on the lower step of a brownstone
front. 1t was a bright Easter morning,
and Xerxes, despite his shabby attire,
looked about him with keen appreciation.
Who was he? A "vag," 'hobo," a
"deadbeat," you might have called him,
but, according to his own story, n "gen-
tleman Of limited income and uncertain
locality" only n poor devil who during
his youth had known the finer things of
life, but for whom from the glass of Fate
had been poured only disappointment
and misfortune. The old story Of an in
dulgent father and reckless, improyi-
dent son; of business reverses and heavy
losses, which worried the old man into
his grave; of the son, now grown, blase
and profligate, having no vocation to call
his own, no experiences in his life save
those of a youth with wealth at his COM
mand and Bohemia his favorite stamp
ing ground. Not much upon which to
base the foundation for practical live
lihood. For years he had drifted aimless-
ly around, till, failing to find his niche in
life, he had, rs he expressed it, tried to
fill the next easiest one." and here, on
the lower step of Il prosperous looking
mansion, a fashionable church on the
corner opposite. with the glorious SUM-
light Of the perfect Easter morning light
ing up with Implying accuracy every de-
tail of his shabby attire, we find Xerxes,
n gentleman of leisure-otherwise a
tramp.
Down the steps Of the house next door,
overwhelming him with their daintiness
and their fresh. young womanhood, came
two girls clad in all the fluttering laces
and ribbons that go to make up the fin de
steele dcmoiselie. They were talking too
earnestly to notice Xerxes, who drew
