MUST ISSUE CERTIFICATES.
Iowa Students 81 Osteopathy Get
DeCISIcn Of Court.

Des Moines, Ia, Feb. a.-District
Judge Homes has decided the issuance
of writ of mandamus to compel the
stats board of medical examiners to
issue certificates to graduates of the S.
5. Still College to graduates of Oste-
opathy in Des Moine in accordance
with the provisions of the state stat,
utes. The board had refused to issue
certificates to graduates of any college
of osteopathy on the ground that the
standard of the school was not satisfac-
tory.
The law provides that the board shall
issue certificates to graduates of these
institutions which are in good repute,
as osteopathy colleges. An arbitrary
standard was fixed by the board, which
then declared that no school of ostheo-
pathy cogld maintain satisfactory
standard. z. T. Parsons, of Des Moines
applied for writ of mandamus to
compel the board to issue certificate
under the law. Judge Homes, deciding
the case, said that the action and refu-
sal of the board were csptious, arbi-
trary and unlawful.

ish eyes as they told pitiful stories of
the sick. Then the chatter leaped to
the Easter vacation. A group of the
girls were going with Miss Mary as
chaperon to Old Point Comfort, others
to spend their. two weeks holiday in
New York. The girls with homes not

at the ought OF seeing fathers and

In - Lady Lindsay school there is
half-hour every evening after tea
when the principal is to be found in
her room for a chat inside a closed
door. Honor was the first to claim her
tonight, and the old lady led her to
the large chair by the window. The
girl did not sit down, she stood over a
vase OF daffodils, touching them with
tender fingers. She turned when the
principal spoke to her and burst into
an agony of tears. Tie old lady rose
and drew her to a low chair beside her
own, and the girl bid her face in the
tender arm that encircled her. She
did not interrupt the tears; she
smCothed the soft brown curls softly
and waited till the sobs grew fainter.
The girl raised her head and kissed
the lovely, wrinkled hand that lay on
her shoulder.

life, except my grandmother" said
Honor, in d choked voice. "When 1

of the roses was coming in at the open
window and down on the beach | could
see the futtering sail of the little boat
we were going out in that morning
she and land / could not believe it

The lady gathered the sobbing girl
into her arms as if she had been a lit
tie child, and the room was still. The
merry laughter of the girls in the Ii
barry came family down the hall.

The Flrst~
eEaster:
BY Emma Hevriek Weed.
ANME EEP, weep, o world!
-~~ World thatHe came

.>~"F World thatHe came
He is slain-He came in vain-His head is
low in the grave!
His sun has gone down In plooo; ana the
awful shock of defeat
Hath stirred the sepulchred dead, and they
walk the citys street
Slowly, with hating tread, and eyes I'M
used to the light;
And Where is Hep they cry, In their wild
and vague alright
Then voice, that is not voice, but an
echo lost in the gloom,
Maketh lament: GAY, where? He is dead
in Joseph's tomb!'
Weep, weep, my soul. With the sorrowing
women three!
Bring Him thine aims of tears-the Martyr
of Calvary
For the mob hath wreaked its will and the
nailed hands and feet
Are wrapped in the linen white, for the
slumber of silence meet!
Night DER the city broods, and the heavens
are black and grim;
With never a Star of Hope for those who
have followed Him!
Mournful the plant and deep, of the lost
world final doom:
HE is dead-the Christ is dead and laid in
Joseph's tomb!'
List, list, my SOUL There's stir in that
rock-hewn prison
And the seraph sentry cries: "He Is not
here-Ee is risen!'
Then the first glad Easter breaks, in a
marvellous splendor white,
And the world from its sorrow wakes and
turns its face to the light!
The vassais of Rome retreat; and the
great stone moves at the breath
Of Him, at Whose girdle sway the keys
of the jailer, Death!
cfy xx-hi ho CHI Will
morning bloom.
He liveth-Who once was dead and laid in
Josephs tomb!

whom the memories of childhood were

whom the memories of childhood were
sweet, and they brought their boys
and girls, eager to see father and
mothers old home. Easter was late
that year, and spring was forward.
The naples along the street had flung
out blood red tassels, and the lilac
bushes sported tiny green tufts. Ev-
cry dooryard was gay with hyacinths
and tulips and daffodils. Even in the
dark woods, which clothed the noun
tain side, there were outbursts of
golden green willow and snowy shad
blossom. The sweetness of spring and
the peace bequeathed by Christ to
earth filled the church as radiantly as
the sunshine itself. There seemed to
be a new JOY in the very peal of the
bells, and one felt the glory of the res
direction in the music that echoed and
reechoed within the walls. A famous
organist who was once barefoot boy
in the village had found a substitute to
fill his place in a New York church. He
was putting his heart and the inner
most thought of it into the music that
breathed the soul of the Easter time.
The chancel held sheaves of snowy Ill
les, but even rarer than this fra
GRANGE came spicy, delicious sweet
ness from long wreaths that swept
from pillar to pillar. They were woven
from the green of the cedar and rosy
mayfowers, from which somebody had
called the village Arbutus.
The Easter service was beautiful
and solemn one. A gray-haired rector,
who preached the first sermon in the
new church, aided the young pastor.
After the doXology had been sung
there was a short after service, in
formal and memorable. The old rec
tors voice came brokenly, most of all
when he led to the place of honor in
the choir an old, snowy-haired woman
with the eager flush of youth in her
face. "Mrs. Truitt," he said to the
congregation, "whom a few of nv
people will remember. Hers was the
sweetest voice that led the choir at
our first service. Again she will sing
for us the hymn we listened to that
Easter morning fifty years ago."
There was solemn hush in the
little church and all eyes
turned to the old lady, dressed
in delicate gray, who held hymn
book in her trembling hands. The
notes of the great organ swelled in a
splendid prelude, then they changed
to simple thread of music, the har-
mony of an old hymn tune. A quaver-
ing voice took up the melody; it sound
ed oldfashioned and the words came
haltingly, but the famous organist
waited humbly on the trembling voice.
