am considering them whether I want
to or notl I'll try repeating the words
hundred times; they say that is the

Back and forth she walked, repeat
ing the words over and over; but the
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
by sleep, but with mind Mt rest. Aft
er breakfast she said to Jane Sim
mons her old housekeeper "Jane, can
you harness Prince into the open
wagon?"
"Why, yes, of course I kin; but what
are you going t. do with him on a
Sunday?" asked Jane, with the famil-
iarity born of 20 years faithful serv-
ice.
"Youll see," was the smiling an
swer. The smile was as rare as the
flushed face and elated manner. Jane
stared few moments, then went re-
luctantly to the stable.
"Now help me put these lilies into
the wagon" was Olivia's next COM
mand. The lilies were followed by
palms, ferns and Towering plants I'M
til the wagon was full; then Olivia
drove away, and Jane gazed after her,
muttering:
"She's either gone clear out of her
senses, or else" Jane paused, "she's
come into them; nov, which is it?"
There was more establishment than
reverence in the faces of the congre-
cation assembled in the old meeting
house that Easter morning. Olivia sit
ting in the Prescott pew! Oliva's lilies
pertaining the air, her flowers making
the dingy room beautiful! What could
have worked the miracle?
Olivia was outwardly calm and atten-
tive; in reality she was thinking of the
little cripple who had that morning

rose to 60.
"You won't get any further than her
doorstep II you try" answered Mrs.
Saunders. laughing indulgently.
"Are you sure?r
"Yes, sure. When you ring, 'Livia'll
come to the door; she won't ask you
in, but Just stand there and freeze you
with her cold looks until you'll be glad
to go home"
"Mrs Saunders was not far wrong"
Mrs. Barr thought, as she was con-
fronted by Olivia, standing tall and
straight in the doorway, look of in
quiry upon her cold, handsome face.
81 am Mrs. Barr, the minister's
wife," she introduced herself, with an
embarrassed smile. MAY 1 come in
and talk to you few moments?"
In silence Olivia led the way to the
sitting-room. 1t was a chilly April day,
but the wood fire blazing upon the
hearth made the room warm and cheer
full. Soft carpets, rich hangings, we'll

Olivia made no effort to break the

She spoke decidedly, but without

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

In the Woman's Home Companion
Waldon 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.
1.-THE one element of seriousness
which characterizes this great outing
you may discover as you stroll down
to the little building which ordinari-
ly serves as central station for the
policemen who guard the white house
grounds. For this one day, however,
the watchmen's house is transformed
into an asylum for lost little folks.
Hither the big blue-coated officers
bring the little tots who chance to
go astray in the great medley of
humanity, and here a nurse soothes
and comforts the tiny weeper until
the inevitable anxious mother ap-
pears. At a recent egg-rolling festi-
val there were 81 lost children in
the little habitation at one time, but
mothers and nurses SO universally
understand where to seek for missing
little ones that scarcely any confu-
sion is caused by these separations"

claimed; and the old name sounded
good from her lips. 'It is who should

They drove home together in the
wagon, and Olivia laughed over it.
"See," she said, suddenly, as they
passed small house at the end of
the village, sit is the little cripple to
whom took some fowers!"
The boy in the window waved his
hand and laughed to them, and the
blossoms by his side seemed to nod,
too.

HOME OF THE EASTER LILY.
Bermuda, Once Called "The Isle Of
Devils" CuriOusly Enough Bears
This Distinction.

There is a. striking analogy in the
fact that Bermuda, the home of the
Easter lily, was called, on it's discovery,
"the Isle of Devils"
Although the lilies of Bermuda-the
fields white with their satipy 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. It is said that
they were introduced into the United
States in that year by an American
woman who brought a few plants to a
Philadelphia florist. Charmed by the
beauty of the flowers, he cultivated the
plants carefully from the bulbs until
he had number. Other florists pur-
chased from him, then bulbs were I'm
ported from Bermuda, and now the
lily is grown here profusely in all the
lighthouses.
The tremendous growth in the last
25 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 its herald, Easter.
The lily fields are not exceedingly
large, as rule, and seldom contain
more than few acres. The largest
bulbs are sent to London and 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.

FOR AND AGAINST BRYAN.
Democrats Divided on the Question
of the Former Candidates
Leadership.

Two things noted of Mr.. Bryan's
latest visit to Washington are very
suggestive. One Ii that his recep-
ton on the senate side of the capitol
was less cordial than on the house
side, and the other is that the young
er men of the party are the ones who
seek him out, says the Washington
Star.
Mr.. Bryan was never favorito
of the democratic members of the
senate, and years seem not to de-
velop any fondness for him in that
quarter. His nomination in 1896 up
set some ardent senatorial hopes and
a most carefully arranged senatorial
programme. The rousing young ora
tor from Nebraska was not on the
senatorial horizon when the nominat-
ing convention met that year. Mr..
Teller carried the senatorial wishes
The idea was that what had failed
in 1872 with Horace Greeley in the
lead could win "a years later with
the senator from Colorado in the
lead. The republicans were to be di-
vided by nominating an ex-member
of their party for president, and in
that way defeated. But Mr.. Bryan,
with rafting stump speech, changed
the whole face of things, and sena-
tors he then discounted have never
forgiven him.
Mr.. Bryan has from the outset been
the choice of the younger men of the
party. They "whooped it up" for
him at Chicago at the time of his
first nomination. A young man him
self, handsome, confident, and elo-
quent, he appealed to them strong
ly. 1t tickled them greatly to see
him elbow his way to the front, and
displace veterans like Bland and
Boies and Blackburn; and when he
did so they seized the standards in
the convention hall and formed that
marching procession of bowling en-
thusiasts whose demonstration made
the nomination. And the young men
of the party are still very proud of
their young leader. They cling to
him even in defeat, and neglect no
opportunity to testify to their admi-
ration and devotion.
We see then in this the difficulty
under which the democratic party at
present labors. The older members
are anti-Bryan. They have support
ed him twice, but they see his short
comings as leader and are not pa
tient under proposition to try him
again. Time is great element in
their calculations. If they are to
witness the return of their party to
power it must be soon. The younger
men are not disturbed by this con-
sideration. They, too, want to win.
but when Mr.. Bryan says that the
party can afford to wait for success
and must meanwhile stick to prin-
ciples, they hearken as to man of
grit and character. Still, If success
is to be achieved, the older men and
the younger men must get together,
and under Mr.. Bryan or somebody
else work like the nation with but
one end in view. A party divided
against itself cannot win.

the happiness that comes from doing
and giving"
| Olivia gave no sign of interest, and
Mrs. Barr did not have the courageto
pursue such a one-sided conversation.
She looked toward the large bay win
dow filled with blooming plants; con-
spicuous among them was a tier of
Easter lilies, a mass of snowy, fragrant
bloom. n
"'Consider the lilies,'" quoted Mrs.
Barr, reverently. "Do you consider
them"
81 have taken all the care of them
since put the bulbs into the soil, so
suppose that I have considered them
more or less every day."
81 do not mean their manner of
growth alone, nor the beautiful raj
ment; have you thought of the pleas
ure that the sight of them would give
to those who never see flower during
the long, cold winter?"
81 suppose you mean that ought to
send them to the church tomorrow"
said Olivia, contemptuously.
eve certainly would like them there,
but you can do good with them by
sending them to other places. You can
put them into the homes of the poor
and sick, and every lily-bell will ring
out message of love and gladness."
There was another long silence; and
finally the discouraged Mrs. Barr rose
and took her leave.
AS soon as she had gone Olivia took
up book and read page or two me-
chanically; but the only words that
she saw were: Consider the lilies;
consider the lilies" And the air of the
room was heavy with their perfume.
"Pve been staying in the house too
Closely" she thought. "I'll go to the
woods and get rid of this mental fuzz."
On her way she passed little cot
tage; at the window was a crippled
boy caressing the leaves of sickly
fowerless geranium.
"Consider the lilies; consider the
lilies" The words rang in her ears,
whistled through the leafless branches
and vibrated in the air.
She filled her hands with twigs of
budding willows, partridge vine and
princess pine, and hurried nervously
home. When she opened the door the
lily-scented air rushed upon her with
sickening force; she sank into chair,
and looked at the lilies long and stead
lily until the beautiful waxen bells
changed to reproachful faces. Old
memories crowded upon her--of that
quarrel years ago; of Philip Eustis, her
father and old schoolmates. Somehow
she felt that she had not done alto
gether well. The past years seemed
so barren and useless; tbs future
doomed before her di cary and desc
late.
She went upstairs, shut the door to
keep out the scent of the lilies. and
again tried to read, but the lilies kept

clasped in his arms a pot Of her choicest
lilies; she could see him as he touched
the flowers with his lips, laid his thin
cheeks against them, and Rugged them
in an ecstasy of enjoyment. She
thought, too, of Auntie Cooper, bed
ridden for many years, and of how the
tears had run down the old woman's
cheeks as she clasped the lilies in her
arms. And as she thought of these
| things she closed her eyes and MUIR
INJURED:
~ thank Thee, Lord, not alone for
these lilies, the emblem of His resur-
rection, but also that I, Olivia, have at
last come out of the grave of selfish
ness, where l have lain buried by pride
and stubbornness."
The sermon was ended and the bene-
diction spoken, yet not one of the con-
gregation moved; they stood, almost
breathlessly watching Olivia until the
minister stepped from the pulpit and
walked toward her pew; then old
friends surged around her, with kind
faces and CHEEKY voices. She met
them with outstretched hand and
friendly smile and led them to the Ill
les.
81 have never before had so many
nor so fine lilies. want to give them
to you" The hardness and GOODNESS
had left her face; instead there shone
warmth of tenderness and glow of
kindness.
"You see have Considered the Ill
ies,'" she said, as she handed pot of
them to Mrs. Barr.
: Seems as IL you an the lilies must
be related, 'Livy, you look so much
alike" said old Mrs. Price, as she
looked first at Olivia and then at the
lilies.
A flash of color swept over Olivia's
face, leaving it deadly pale. Philip
Eustis had once told her that she was
like the pale, slender. lilies, and that
he loved them for the likenessl
Reaction from her excited feelings
was fast taking place, fatigue and de-
preston of spirits settled upon her.
With a weary smile she said good-by.
AS she stepped into the church vesti-
bule man came forward to greet her,
"Olivia!" he said, and held out his
hand.
Pale, trembling, bewildered, she put
her hand in his and looked into his
face.
"Philip!"
"Olivia, came back here just.to get
a glimpse Of you; didn't expect that
you would care to see me after all this
time; but something in your face this
morning, while watched you giving
away your lilies. gave me courage to
wait and speak to you"
You did right" she said, az they
trrned together and walked slowly
down the path from the church.
