EASTER.

Tomorrow is Easter, asd in all the
Weiser churches, will be celebrated
by special services, the anniversary
of that day when victory triumpbed
over de ath an so became to the
Christian sacred day that has sent
its light down through the ages to re-
inspire the followers of the Messiah
and lead sinners from darkness every
where in the world. 1t is hailed
with the reverence of solemn prayers
and celebrated with anthems and
joyous organ peals. And it is we'll
to see the places of worship decked
with flower and lilly in significance of
the purity of lite which christian
hope holds up for mortals, as ex-
emplified in the life of the Savior.
They, the flower and the lilly, ,also
embody the resurrection in out door
nature every where and as we wor-
ship they whisper that the day speaks
of glorious spring, and bloom and
gladness after the slum boring of
winter In all plant life. AS the
lawns grow green and the promises
of full season and a good harvest
begin to multiply our hearts rejoice
at the awakening of earth and the
sullen glooms Of the dormant season
leave US. So, let all the sweet hopes
that have been nourlshed become a
living faith and let 1t draw about
the day all the reverence which
should attach to it spiritually and
materially.

1t seems that in the printed reports
of the new game law, the word
except was left out by all the
publishers. Instead of saying that
certain game fowl should not be
killed between September 1st and
Februaryz1st, the original bill says
'tshall not be killed except between
September lst and February 1st.
This makes it all right in that re-
spect-but you still have to pay a
dollar license to take out your gun or
cary a fly hook in your hat; the
sheriff according to this law can
still search your house without a
warrant, in conflict with the United
States constitution, and boys under
IL are not allowed to fish at all.

THE SLIPPERY SEVENTH.

| Third Paper by j. d. Flenner.
Before this article appears the day
will have passed that should mark
an epoch in history, thirty seventh
anniversary of the death of the
martyr President whose untimely
taking off at the hands of the assas-
sin, j. Wilkes Booth, was like pluck
ing the sun out of heaven. In a
most touching song, one of the sad
dest and sweetest ever chanted, not
excepting that mortal chant of Ten
nyson over the death of the princly
Hallam, "When Lilacs last in the
Garden Bloomed,' and Captain,
My Captain" the good, gray poet,
himself a kingly man and warm
personal friend of Lincoln, Walt.
Whitman, voiced the nations sword
in lines that still touch hearts around
the Globe. The palpitating quaver
and thrill of what the little brown
bird sang amid the cedars, and the
tender tribute to the "grand, sweet
soul that has gone" come to me al
ways at this time of the year when
the lilacs are putting forth and the
dasies, fresh from winters sleep are
peeping modestly from sheltered
nook with the returning miracle of
the grass.
| recall that sad event now when
| think that among the things that
render the "Slipery Seventh" in
famous is their refusal to adjourn
on the anniversary of the birthday
OF the chief man in Republican his
tory, notwithstanding resolution TO
do so was pressed by Democrats.
Or course it is the policy of those
who now manage the Republican
party to ignore Lincoln. They say:
eyes, Lincoln was good man, but
he has been long time dead. "
When centuries have passed and
the little pigmies who now rattle
round in the place once filed by such
men as Lincoln and Blaine have
passed like exhalations before the
sun, future generations will look
across vast areas of ridges where
they sleep in unknown graves to the
solemn and clossal figure of Abraham
Lincoln that grows greater and
grander with the flight of time.

One would think by the tone OF

least a few verses from the Bible
each day. She is anxious that her
son should have knowledge of the
Bible as we'll as other books; in fact,
she thinks reading of the great
book the best means of gaining a
good understanding of English and
history. The little fellow has been
adding verse through the Psalms,

vances in reading. The other even

a Dramatic Reprieve.

On the stage it happens that the
hero is reprieved at the eleventh hour
when on the scaffold, and there are
cases recorded in history. Few, how
ever, have been so close to death as
Joe Campbell, negro, who had been
condemned to death for mufder at
Yazoo City, Mo. The negro had the
halter about his neck and the trap
door was ready to be sprung open.
Campbell then turned to the sheriff
and confessed the name of his accom-
plice. He was instantly reprieved.

Music an Incentive to Work.

1t was shown at the Brooklyn navy
yard the other morning that the gov
ernment's plan Of having the band
play while the men are coaling a war
ship is most eficacious. While Lively
two-steps and marches we're being
played the ue-jackets worked like
beavers to fill the bunkers of the sup
ply-ship Buffalo. One of the officers
suggested that it would not be a. bad
idea for private corporations to cheer
their men on in their work by hiring
music, if nothing more than one Of
the little German street bands, to
keep UP their enthusiasm.

himself that more rapid absorption
is taking place, and that our water
