AN EASTER
MESSAGE

Agnes Norwood sat alone in her room
where, indeed, she sat always, now
her face buried in her hands. She was
not weeping. 1t had been long-oh, SO
long-since she had shed tears. She
only strove to shut out from her mind
the vision of happy world that Knocked
her grief. What was Easter to her,
Easter with its joys, its glad songs and
beautiful flowers? IF those who called
themselves her friends could understand
how they probed the unhealed wound
of her aching heart, would they be so
thoughtless as to urge her to sing. How
could she sing, she whose song had been
so sudden and ruthlessly hushed months
ago? Can the woodland songster f1utter-
ing among the dead leaves, its breast
pierced by an arrow, tune it's little throat

PROPOSED TO A SENATOR.
Lonely Widow Makes Plea for Posi-

Frank Manner.

One western senator, whose name was
mentioned in recent list of eligible
widowers and bachelors of the senate,
has received an application from the
state of Kansas. The lady puts the mar
ital proposition in very frank manner,
all of which she probably justifes be-
cause tsiis is leap year, says Washington

Dear SENATOR read you are one of
the widowers OF The senate who would

world? Life was so pitifully brief, and
death was over ALL Yes, life itself was
death. They had tried to tell her that
she would meet her deare t again, but
did they know? No, no. they could not.
And she was young vet. How could she
endure the long life that stretched be-
fore her. the years that must pass be-
fore she could interpret the mystery of
death? Oh. if she might only receive
some message, some least token that
Arthur still lived!
She shifted her eyes for a moment
to the blue sky and then brought them
YEARLY back to earth. Close by the
monument little pale flower, one of
springs first hepaticas, had pushed its
frail petals above the ground and was
lifting it's tiny head to the sunlight.
Agnes bent over it and tenderly drew
away the dead grass. How came 1t
there? By human hand? No, 1t had
risen from the dead. Risen from the
dead" she repeated softly to herself.
Yes, it had died with the summer, but
only to await earth's resurrection day,
when from the germ of its old dead
self sprang this wondrous new life,
this pure and beautiful thing. She
touched tenderly its petals with a
strange feeling of ave-. 1t seemed to
breathe out a message of hope and
trust, token of Gods own love. 1t
told her of the new life that begins with
the decay of the old, of Immortality
beyond death, of an eternity when
time shall end It whispered of a
faith that is stronger than sight, and
of God of love.
Long Agner knelt over the little
blossom that spoke comfort to her SOUL
until she had come to learn that life is
not death, but death is life; that love
lives beyond the grave, for it is eternal
Her heart was softened at last Then
came tears like rain-the first that had
wet her lashes since that terrible day
When, after long time, the passion of
her sobs had worn away, she rose and
left the cemetery, taking with her the
little flower that had brought her mes
sage from him who, though the doorway
of death, had passed into life.
The morning service in First church
| was not yet concluded when little fig
ure clad in black entered softly and
stole into the first vacant pew. The
beautiful Easter lilies at the altar had
message for at least one soul in the
congregation that morning. From the
pulpit came the closing words of the
sermon: Because I live, We shall live
also" They are the words of the Son
of God himself, who hath tasted death
for every man. In the face of this Di-
vine attestation to the immortality of
the soul, we canont but cry: ooh, Death,
where is thy sting? o Grave, where is
! thy victory?"
Upon the hush that followed the min
ister's words came the strains of the
great organ, which swelled and throbbed
with it's glad message. The congregation
arose and sang, Christ, the Lord, is risen
| to-day"
! With the last stanza, voice of Won
derful power and pathos rose above
the others, and the people turned to
see fair. sweet face. upon which shone
the light of faith triumphant, as Ag-
mes Norwood sang the words, as she
| had never sung before:

PRINTING BY TELEGRAPH.
The Telautograph Has Become Fix
ture in the Post Office
at Berlin.

The printing telegraph, or telauto-
graph, which was so enthusiastically
advocated several years ago as an ad-
junct to Office equipment for the trans
mission of written orders and other
business requiring a record, has bios
somed forth in Berlin as reality, re-
ports the Philadelphia Record. The
German post Office department, which
controls the telegraph and telephone ia
cilities as well, is said to have contract
ed with a concern known as the Fern
drucker company, giving the latter the
use of it's wires for the conduct of such
a business.
An outfit is rented from this company
at given rate per annum, which gives
the subscriber the privilege of commu-
nicating at all times, through the me-
dunn of central exchange, with any
other subscriber on the system. A con-
nection is first secured through the cen
trail office, and then, by simply operating
typewriter keyboard, the message is
transmitted and printed on the receiver
at the distant end of the line, record
being made on the sending instrument
which serves as duplicate copy 1t is
expected that general introduction of
the system will greatly facilitate the
delivery of telegraph messages, as these
can be transmitted at once to the re-
cipient over the Ferndrucker apparatus.
In great many cases where it is
found impossible to raise the party de-
sired by phone the writing system can
be employed to advantage, as, no mat
ter whether anyone is there at the mo-
ment to receive it or not, permanent
record is made, which is available when
the person desired comes in. The an
nual subscription for the service is
given by Consul Guenther, of Frank
fort, at $119

The Harry Stubs Stock COM

the prices to Is, IS and SOC, it is
not because the plays they produce

out plays, they do not extend to
this company quite the full welcome
that was expected, There is not a
poor player in the troupe As is
most unusual with any but very
high priced troupe, the costumes
are perfect, new, the acme of beau
ty and good style, and the acting
itself is unusually good. Further
more, their plays are clean and not
IN any sense sensational. Inc play
last night was exceptionally good
throughout, and these who were
out enjoyed a rare treat. Tonight
the company presents the scream
ing comedy, BY Wits Outwit-
ted. !" which is charactized as ole
laugh from beginning to end. We
hope the people will turn out and
give the company a crowded house.
There are several good voices in
the company and those who attend
once feel well repaid, and ready to
go again. We have to thank Harry
Stubs for bringing into our midst
a thoroughly enjoyable set of plays
