Lent, Holy Week and Good Friday,

Remember man that dust thou
art and into dust thou shalt return. u
This Is the first lesson inculcated by
the holy season Of Lent now at its
close, when upon Ash Wednesday,
signed upon the forehead with ashes
in the form Of q cross, with these
words each begins Its observance, a
season that may be breathing space
amid the horrid din and discord Of
earth in the pursuit Of business,
pleasure, work or accumulation OF
wealth or power and the manifold
distractions Of life, a time to think Of
death and prepare at least remotely
to make restitution, reparation and
resolution, for the hour OF death,
when worldly concerns, save their
effects, are but mere phantoms
throughout the silent, majestic years
Of eternal time.
"Unless you shall do penance you
shall all likewise perish" This is
the second lesson, for a carnal, sinful
world-penance; penance Of prayer,
Of fasting, Of pleasure for personal
sin and that OF a needless, desolate
world-"the whole world is made
desolate because no one thinketh in
his heart"
"You should always pray" The
striving for the use Of the spiritual
language Of the soul. the means for
constant communication with the
Creator and Sovereign Lord Of heaven
and earth and Of all things, the Re.
deemer Of the world who was bruised
for our iniquities and slain for our
sins, with the mother OF sorrows, the
queen Of martyrs, who stood at the
foot OF the cross, with the angels and
saints and with the dead, who are
blessed because they died in the Lord.
And In the last week Of Lent, Holy
Week, when the church and Christian
world, laying aside all expressions Of
Joy and rejoicing, yelling crucifxes
in purple, chants the tenebrae of
lsmentation, the mathis and lauds Of
prayer, contrition and sup
plication in union with the sutferings |
and humiliations Of the Lamb Of God, !
reproducing in detail and symbolism
every word, act, scene and lesson Of
The last week OF that life, whose
Heath is our hope and following on
Good Friday to Calvary, watching
md waiting beside the cross and
,epulchre until "they closed the
;omb and all withdrew" NJ

1t Is somewhat remarkable In view
Of the recent temperance agitation In
Kansas that the city elections were 90
largely opposed to the enforcement OF
the prchibitory law. In Topeka, the
head and front Of the prohibition
movement with q nominal Republican
majority Of $500, . Democrat was
elected mayor on . "wet" platform.
junction City made q straight fight
on the temperance question and the
anti.prohibitionists carried every
ward in the city, electing their
mayor by 27S majority. Atchison
nominally Republican by 500 elected
. Democrat BY 800 on q wide open
platform.
The choice Of 80 many towns to be
"wet," while 1t by no means insures
their being wet since county officials
may take a hand, means that the pro-
hibitory law is not growing in favor
in the towns generally. No more
favorable time for temperance show
ing has been seen in five years than
this spring and that element has CIV
en- its best possible strength. The
probabilities are fair for q resubmis
sion fight in the next state election.

The recently enacted army law

dent to maintain force OF at least
5S,9 men, but leaves it to his dis.
erection to augment this force, when
necessary, tollOO,Oo0. 1t is now an
nounced that the president believes
there will be no immediate necessity
for enlisting the full quota Of 100000
troops, the situation in the Philip
pines and elsewhere being such as to
warrant him in maintaining the min
mum force. II this Is the case, the
country will enjoy the immediate
benefits which were aimed at in plan
ming for an elastic form Of organiza-
ton. The threat Of .militarismn in
volved in the maintenance Of an army
Of 100000 was slight enough, but an
honest purpose to keep the army
down to the minimum consistent with
safety still further decreases that dan.

An Easter Dawn.

Low In the west the waning moon
A silver crescent shone;
Hlgh overhead q single star
Kept patient watch alone.
The earth was cold with frosty dews
But all the east was pink,
A. II q bed Of roses bloomed
On mornings misty brink,
The sapphire field Of night above
Took on paler hue;
Perhaps the tread Of angel feet
Had worn away the blue,
And through the tleecy clouds appeared
A broad and brilliant ray, %.
A golden herald bringing light,
The dawn Of Easter day.

A Characteristic DEED.

1t is not too late to call attention to
one feature OF Gen. Funston's re.
markable capture Of Aguinaldo that
has not been generally noted and one
that illustrates . striking trait Of the
American character. limitations to
the effect that the plot by which the
Filipino leader was decoyed into the
hands Of bis pursuers WIS an mex
cusable piece Of treachsry may be
dismissed IS coming from people un'
acquainted with the methods com.
mon in warfare in all ages or else
from those persons who are hopeless
ly opposed to the administrators
general policy in the Philippines.
Funston's act was characteristic Of
American nerve, quality that has
contributed so much to the brilliancy
Of American conduct throughout our
history as q nation. Projects that
seem 10 be impossible Of accomplish
ment possess remarkable fascination
for this type Of men. Sheridsn's
famous cavalry dash at Winchester,
not to 60 farther back for an illustra-
ton, affords another example Of this
spirit. A still later instance was
Hobson's seemingly foolhardy ven.
ture in sailinga broken.down old YES
sci into the pelting fire from Santiago
forts and sinking her in an effort to
block the harbor entrance. This
Is the sort Of nerve that inspired
Funston to take bis life into bis hands
and plunge Into the Businesses Of the
Luzon mountains In order to find the
camp Of Aguinaldo and capture that
daring rebel.
These achievements read like the
old romantic stories in which single
brave knight rode forth to do battle
against overwhelming odds. These
men are living, breathing p'Artag.
mans and Horatios. They are the
embodiment Of the spirit Of romance,
and one is irresistibly inclined to be-
believe that they drew their inspira-
tions from these old tales Of valor
about which there Is so stronga flavor
Of fiction, The American Of daring
makes real the unreal and imaginary.
In him a. In no other race Is found
|
the GOODNESS, the nerve, the utter in.
difference to danger that can bring to
pass deeds OF reckless courage that
were imagined by the romanticists Of
other nations, but rarely found living
exemplifcation.
Incidentally it may be remarked
that this characteristic American
displays itself elsewhere than on the
battlefield. In a less worthy way 1t
Is found driving men to risks In the
financial speculstions OF the day.
Many an American has entered Wall
street and played Its dangerous and
nerve.racking game with all the cool
indifference with which he would buy
penny paper from the newsboy on
the street. American youths early
manifest the same indomitable pluck
and love OF risk, and GOODNESS In the
presence Of danger. The popularity
OF football, with Its violent and haz-
ardous chances, is proof Of this.
These qualities which enter into and
explain Funston's act, are, Of course,
not exclusively American, but they
have in no other people been COM
bined to such splendid degree. They
to make up that remarkable quality
we are wont to call the American
nerve.
