ON EASTER MORNING.

(By Harriet Loretta Knapp)
A fair Easter morn; with the sun shining
bright.
In clear azure sky. putting winter to
flight;
The air is replete with the sweet breath
of spring;
The violets and buttercups, both are In
bloom,
And the white Easter lilies send forth
their perfume.
Unstained and sweet, on the quiveriug
breeze.
That is kissing the buds into life on the

From out his red throat he drops his

And across the blue heavens. a fceey
cloud floats
In the gloom Of an angel. ethered and

But with arms reaching eartbward it

But he was nothing daunted, and fol-

the Christ appeared and reappeared in

peasants of Bavaria Among them is
THE Sermon of the Mount" an open
air scene. with a red rooted village in

Him, and men leaning on their soythes

the Easter Morning" The scene is a
garden without the city walls, and Christ
is bending with infinite graciousness over
the Magdalen-or shall l say Magdalen?
For the figure. as it kneels with uplifted
hands, is of modern type. If you compare
II with the other pictures of the Magdalen
as rendered by Jean Beraud. you may
notice how much closer Uhde's is to the
spirit of the original story. while infinitely
more poignant in its appeal to modern
sentiment. In word how entirely lack

deeply religious, delicately spiritusli
Uhde, in fact, has tried to show in his
paintings that the spirit of Christs teach
ings is still alive in the world. while Be
raud, by comparison, seems to be the
cynic who would demonstrate how the
practice of the modern world is at vari-
ance with its profession of Christianity.
Much of the former feeling can be traced
in LHermite's picture. Some peasants
have invited stranger to share their
meal. and as he breaks the bread II is
suddenly revealed to them that they have
been entertaining unawares the Christ.
L'Hermite himself was the son of a pea
SAINT. He knows his subjects intimately
and paints them really as they are. and
in this picture has represented by an
allegory how the spirit of religion adds
a tinge OF grace to their hard lives. In the
original the figures are life sized, and I
well remember the impression ii produced.

shock; then by degrees the intense convic-
ton Of the picture forced itself upon the

CIRCUS FREAK
prove Avis Into His Skull, Which
Was an Inch Thick.

Harry Beno. a sideshOW man, known
as "Beno the Wonder died last week
at the city hospital. Beno had been
patient nearly three months.
His death was due to paralysis
which resulted from his daily perform
ances of the awl trick. This consisted
in driving an awl or ether sharp in
struments into his skull. For years
he performed this daily and apparently
suffered no serious results.
While at small town in Southern
Missouri last summer Beno stucI, it so
far into his head that it penetrated
the brain. In a few days his left side
became paralyzed. He was brought to
the hospital here, and after a month S
treatment it was believed he would re-
cover. But another one c'f Benos feats
was to eat drugs, and this shattered
his constitution.
While he was at the hospital the sur
geOns examined Benos skull and
found that his feat of driving the awl
into his head was genuine. A dozen
holes were found in the top of his head,
and many others which had healed.
Beno, the surgeons say, was fitted by
nature FIR the feat, in that he had an
unusually thick skull. 1t was nearly
three-quarters of an inch thick.
The other accomplishments, for
which thousands of persons have paid
to see Beno, was that ef eating strych-
nine 1t Was said that in one dose he
could eat sufficient to kill nine or ten
men, The hospital surgeons made an
experiment and found that he was able
to take three or four grains with no
evil results.
Beno was a slight man and rather
small. Nearly his whole life had been
spent in the show business. and he had

The city of Spokane is facing one
of the most srlous labor strikes she
ever experienced. Seven labor I'M
ions went out ON strike yesterday
and the business of the city is par
alyzed. The mill workers, the lum
Der workers, brewery workers, beer
wagon drivers, iron moulders, build
ing labOrers and the stahlemen are all
out and the indications are that it Is
to be battle royal between the
contending factions A great many
other unions may be- drawn into the
strike before it is settled. Such
conditions are an injury to the whole
city, not alone affecting those directly
interested, but all people and it is
another demonstration of the fact
that if these disputes cannot be ami
cably adjusted between the interested
parties compulsory arbitration should
be employed. The public interests
demand an adjustment of such ditti-
cultise and they should be settled
with fairness to all parties coneered
is the method to be- EN-
ployed.

The people of Occur d'Alene have

orously protesting against using water
for domestic purposes because il is
taken from the lake under a log boom
and has woody taste at times. The
people of Spokane want sawmill

city water works, and ono Of their
leading physicians tells them that
pine juice in the water Is not harm
full, but actually healthful We must
admit that there is no accounting for
tastes, but much depends on how one
is raised. Many people would object
to eating snails, but the Freuchman
calls them delicacy, and the Digger

fond Of the juice of the pine. We
know that many Of them have a very
strong taste for other juices.

An exchange tells how to build
up town and make it prosperous,
and has the following to say: Get
interested in your town and stand by
it. If a rich man starts a project
encourage him; or a poor man, help
him. Don't be afraid to stick your
hand in your pocket. If you have
means, invest in something that will
give employment to somebody. Do
not kick on every proposed improve
ment because it is not at your own
door. Do all you can to beautify
the town and your own property
also. Be friendly to everybody and
courteous to strangers, and never for
gst that you are part of the town
and that your own department does
its share in giving to the town its
character. Sell and buy all you can
at home. Stand by all other enter
prising citizens and be ready to do
some OF the work yourself, and don t
grumble aud spend your time in
prophesyihg failures Patronize your
home paper and get your printing
done at home. for IL is the printer
who makes your town known and
tells the world what You are doing.

Sinclair's shortage at $50, 200. 1t
is not probable that he profited per
sonally to that amount and may not
have received one cent of the stolen

disappeared from his office and if he
did not get any of the Doodle he
at least showed great incompetency.

fact that colonial possessions have

ture Of crime that goes with the
ownership of another people by for

ownership, carries with it crime of
all kinds and will do so until the
