The Minneapolis journal., 1903-12-08

In some of the greatest forests Of
France experiments have been made
in cutting trees by electricity. A plat
mum wire is heated to a white heat
and used like a saw. In this way the
tree is felled with ease and very much
more quickly than in the old way.
Modern methods have improved al
most every line of work that man en-
cages in but there is no better illus
tration than the improvement made in
recent years in brewing golden grain
belt beer. This beer has become more
than delicious table beverage, it is
tonic and nerve food that no work
ing man or woman can afford to be
without. It rests both mind and
body.

and they walked beneath the trees
just bursting into bud, talking gently
of the days they had spent together
as children; then they grew tired and
sat in the summer house. And now
Hugh felt that his eyes were INSULT
cient to tell his love, and he began
tremblingly to express himself in
words He remembered the first kiss
he had ever given her as distinctly as
if it had only been yesterday. He
painted with excitement as he took her
hand; she blushed like a rose, but
resisted not; he drew her to him and
placed his arms around her, and gave
her the long, sweet kiss which had
remained on his lips forever. Oh,
Blessed Virgin, this was not the kiss
he had dreamed of! The woman was
there, smiling and blushing as of yore,
but the kiss was not the same; so
cold, so passionless, beside the one of
his imagination! He looked into her
face, and then-Oh, the horror of it!

oriainaIIy a PAGAN custom.

Easter, the high festival of the
Christian church, taxes it's name from
the Saxon Goddess Ostara or Eastre,
a personification of the East or
Spring, and was kept as time of re-
joicing by the whole pagan world long
before the coming of Christ. The
wonderful renewal of life in nature,
tie passing of winter, the coming OF
our lady of spring, the protectress of
flowers and the blossoms, was cele-
brated with as much rejoicing in that
old pagan world as is the Resurrection
to-day in Christendom, and with many
of the same ceremonies.
The early church finding it expe-
dent to adopt the Pauline teaching,
"An things to all men," gave Nher
sanction to many of the pagan cere-
monies, simply because they were
too deeply rooted to .e abolished save
by the progress of Christian civiliza-
ton.
The cross symbolizes the Resurrec-
ton of the Son of righteousness. The
crescent rejoices over the return Of
the natural son in the heavens. With
both the central thought is worship
and rejoicing. the one ending with the

would have uttered cry of terror, but
the sound could not come from his
throat; he tried to tear himself from
the girls embrace, but he could not,
for he had to live his life as he had
lived it before, in everything do as he
had done before and passionately he
kissed the face of death.
They went into the house, and shyly
Anne told her father what had hap
pened, but as she spoke, blushing with
the new delight of love, her lover
could only see the hideous face of,
death. At last he rose to go, for he
was to meet his bosom friend that
evening; but the Burgomaster urged
him not to leave them. bidding him
send messenger to his friend. and
let him come to them. Hugh consent
ed. He was delighted with the pros
pect of seeing his friend again; love
might not be what he had thought it,
but friendship could not alter, and all
his disappointments would be coun-
teracted by reunion with the trusty
comrade who had been dead so long.
But then he remembered something
else; he called to mind horrible suffer
ing which had been caused him by
this same friend. He had supposed
that his wife and his friend were de-
ceiving him, and he had spent years
tortured by frightful jealousy. After,
when they were both dead, he had
learned that his suspicious were
groundless, and in the joy of his dis
covery had forgotten the previous mis-
cry. But now he remembered it all.
Must all this happen again? This
was not the delight he had expected.
Could he not alter anything, but must
everything be gone through precisely
as it had gone through before, and
must he make two lives miserable
again by his cursed stupidity? He
cursed himself for the unhappiness
that he had caused; he groaned as he
thought that it must be all gone
through again; and it would be teE
t.snes worse, for all the time he would
know that the pain was fruitless, and
yet must be endured; that he was act
ing wrongly, wickedly, and yet must
act so. Oh, what had he done in thus
begging for his youth?
And when late at night he left the
Burgomaster's house he strobe
through the silent streets thinking all
this time, one by one the events stood
out clearly in his mind, and he re-
membered now exactly what the fu-
ture had in store. Tomorrow he
would quarrel with his brother, and
there would be bitter enmity between
them; true, at last they would come
together, and the reconciliation Hugh
had always looked upon as one of the
happiest incidents of his life, but so
much pain had to be gone through to

When Easter Was Not ponuI.-

Our New England forefathers we're
sternly opposed to Lent; they had a
grand suf1ciency of fast days in the
wilderness, in the long, hard winter
of want and suffering, when the Pill
grims' cry for help went up in prayer
to the Pilgrims God
Prosperity, however, seems to have
brought changes with. it. After the

was the last section to adopt the fes-
tival upon which the Pilgrims looked
with peculiar adherence.

as he went over each successive step
of his manhood, the joys and pleas
ures of it dwindled to nothingness,
and the woes and miseries grew into
mighty things, terrifying to think of.
He laughted at himself; this was not
a blessing that the Virgin had given
him, but a curse-a CHASTITY curse.
And as he pictured it all he worked
himself into a frenzy of despair, and
in agony he cried aloud.
He ran to the cathedral, and went
into the dark aisle to the chapel in
which was the image of the Virgin. He
fell on his knees at the altar and
opened his mouth to cry out, but there
came from it only the dead words of
the passwords of praise and graft
tude. He struggled against the power
within him, piteously he touched the
hem of the Virgins damask cloak, he
struggled with all his might, and at
last his soul won the battle and his
agony burst the bonds of the flesh.

hopelessness, it's solitude, its GOODNESS,
it's weakness, I pray thee-as I have

day, will take back my gift, and
will give thee the only happiness of

Then he felt a gentle hand pass
over his eyes, and suddenly he knew
that his youth had left him. He sank
on the marble pavement. A strange
voluptuous feeling came upon him.
