Faahion and Easter.

Fashion has again stolen part of
Easter day from the church. 1t was
established by religion. 1t has been
taken by the world. The way fash.

it an occasion of dress parade, a time
of Haunting of fine garments and new
headgear, Along the line of gift Civ

A fox terrier who rides horseback
has come TO be a familiar figure TO
the residents in the neighborhood OF
West Forty-seventh street. Every
day he may be seen impudently
perched upon the back of an intelli-
gent old horse, who draws a delivery
wagon. The dog balances himself,
lifting first one foot and then the 9th
er with all the nicely of circus
rider. A perfect understanding seems
to exist between the horse and the
dog. The former seemingly makes
every effort to assist the little dog to
maintain his somewhat precarious
position. New York Mail and Elk

since the white bell showed itself, and
at once became a symbol Of purity to

orange and the purple flower. Homer
referred to the same gorgeous clusters

after Clovis met the angel, who bade
him embroider the lily in white ON his
armorial bearings, that that flower be-
came the emblem of the Christian peo-

The Savior can change even Stun

The real infdel is the person who
cares nothing for fidelity to Christ.
Only those who hate sin more than
they dread suffering can serve God.
1t adds nothing to the piety of the

Some Christians break up tho Rock

Perhaps the reason the preacher is

The prison official took from his
pocket the death warrant and read
it slowly and distinctly to the as,

during the perfunctory ceremony
Just as the warden stepped
away from the cell door, Czolgos2
called to him and said:

over on his cot apparently anxious
