SSEARFfSH, S. D.-District court has

EASTER EGG-ROLLING.
One Day in the Year the Little Folks
May Play in the Pres1-
dents Yard

In the Woman's Home Companion
Walden Fawcett gives lively de-
scription of the children's egg-rolling
carnival which takes place every year
in the presidents yard:
''The event of the day-the climax
looked forward to by the older folks
as well as the juvenile visitors
comes when the president, who has
from time to time all day peeped out
at the glad gathering, steps out on
the veranda of the white house and
bows in greeting to the sea of little
upturned faces. Then as the band
strikes up some patriotic air the
youngsters all shout Justify and clap
their hands, and as likely as not
testify their appreciation in some of
these unique unconventional ways so
dear to the hearts of youth, and
which are prone to make the digni-
tary on the portico laugh outright.

which characterizes this great outing

Back and forth she walked, repeat

charm failed. The perfume of the
lilies stole into her room, and their
message surged through her brain as
she lay awake through the long night.
She rose in the morning unrefreshed

HOME OF THE EASTER LILY.
Bermuda, Once Called "The Isle OF
DEVILS" CAUTIOUSLY Enough Bears
This Distinction.

There is striking analogy in the
Easter lily, was called, on its discovery,
''the Isle of DEVILS
Although the lilies of Bermuda-the
fields white with their satiny leaves,
the air heavy with their fragrance
have been known and loved by all Wis
itors to the isles of summer" they
did not become easter lilies" until
so recently as 1875. 1t is said that
they were introduced into the United
States in that year by an American
woman who brought few plants to a
Philadelphia florist. Charmed by the
beauty of the flowers, he cultivated the
plants carefully from the bulbs until
he had a number. Other florists pur-
chased from him, then bulbs were inn
ported from Bermuda, and now the
lily is grown here profusely in all the
lighthouses.
The tremendous growth in the last
IS years in the custom of celebrating
Easter by decoration of churches and
homes has made expectation of the
bulbs one of the principal industries
of Bermuda, as the lily of that coun-
try became associated by natural Sc
lection" with Easter. It's beautiful
chalice, it's delicacy of form and color,
it's mystic perfume, all tend to sug-
gest the fresh, pure beauty of spring
and it's herald, Easter.
r. The lily fields are not exceedingly
large, as rule, and seldom contain
more than a few acres. The largest
bulbs are sent to London anG New
York, as they command the highest
prices in those cities. The bulbs of
medium size also are exported, the
planters reserving only the smallest
for their own use.-N. Y. Tribune.
