An Easter Hymn For Children.

("Willkomen, lieber Ostertag.")
We welcome thee, sweet Easter day!
In grave made sure our Saviour lay!
He leaves the dead with glad sur-
prise
The angels see the Conqueror rise
Bright day that out of darkness
breaks!
He now, the Lord of all awakes;
But, made supreme Ger all beside,
He will Our brother yet abide
Blest vernal fields! Ye we'll afford
Your emblens Of our risen Lord;
And every flower, to life that springs,
Reminds us OF the King OF Kings.
Oh. could these eyes the Saviour see
Who left the grave to set us free
Like Sacm's children in their day;
With palms would l bestrew His way
Though we cannot, faith that is true
Can bring our absent Lord to view,
And leaving childhood's sportive
band.
Before Him | suppliant stand
Accept. O Lord. my offering,
Instead OF palms, my heart bring.
'Tis vile,-but form it all anew!
a work myself could never do.
For Easter-present give to ME
A heart that's full of love for Thee:
And lead me on, as seems Thee best;
Through earthly cares with Thee to
rest.
An Easter day far brighter still
Shall all the heart with rapture fill,
When we, through death, reach our
reward,
To be forever with the Lord.
Now looking to thy throne above,
fain would grow in faith and love.
Nor can I here more happy be
Than when Thou sayest, Peace be
with The
Meta Huesser-Schweizer,
Translated by Henry Mills.

The gentleman from Illinois, Mr..

the country is prosperous, and he

Yes replied the guide. 1 have

reproduce the whole article, for the
information it contains about the lit

independence OF which is the ostensl-
Bile cause Of the war now raging IN the
East. We take the liberty Of making
a brief abstract of Mr.. Hulburt's ar
ticle for our readers.
He says that though Korea IS no
larger than Utah and has a popula-
ton not much greater than the state
of New York, probably no other land
can boast of customs which seem so
odd to the foreigner: that a newcomer
IN Korea might call it land in which
everything IS done backward. he
gives several illustrations, for exam
ple a Koreans way of looking at a
photograph. If you hand him a pic
-ture bottom side up. he will not turn
il over, but will examine it just as it
comes to him. Ii it is photograph
of animals or people it makes no dit
terence: he is just as we'll satisfied
with them on their heads as on their
feet. He quotes Stanza OF the verse
of -olickiug American marine OF
poetic turn touching this peculiar
The boys braid their hair down their
characteristic oi the Koreans:
backs like girl
And the chimncyS are NOES III the
ground
Mr., Hubert points ont the fact tha:
Korea is not the only country where
the custom prevails OF boys braldlng
their ha;r down their backs and
asks "But where else do men do
up their hair on the tops OF their
heads?" Yet that's the way in which
a married Korean is distinguished
from a bachelor The. latter must
wear his hair braided until his we'd
ding day, and only then can he dc
it up. and as to the chimneys, ne
saws the poem tells the solemn truth
The Koreans warm their midland:
stone nuts by building the fires just
beneath the stone floors. The chin
neys' run under the house and open
in the cutters. AS many of the
streets of the capital, Seoul (Which
by the way is pronounced like our
word. ':sour) are very narrow, and
it can be imagined that a walk
through them on cold day, when
these 'Eholes in the ground" are puff
ing out smoke. is not pleasant. The
smoke which fills the streets Of the
CITY is the smoke from burning pine
brush, which the people gather on the
t,ills in summer for fuel in the colder
months. The land has been denuded
OF trees for so many years that only
the richest people can enjoy the lux
airy OF wood ior fuel.
Speaking OF the capital city. Mr.
Hulburt says that Seoul means

several ''seouls" in Korea. for each
dynasty founds a new seoul" De-

NEWPORT
HOSPITAL
TANGLE

Financial troubles OF serious nature
have developed in the affairs OF the New
port Hospital corporation.
A bill I'm equity has been filed with the
clerk OF the supreme court in Newport
county. brought by the attorney general
OF the state OF Rhode Island and the
mayor OF Newport against the corpora
tion.
The object OF this bill is to prevent any
further alienation OF the principal OF the
Hazard estate and 10 secure new trus-
tees. Tho proceedings have been taken
under a resolution OF the city council
passed in September.
Several years ago discrepancies were
noted in the reports Of the Newport hos
pital In regard 10 the Hazard trusts. At
the time Il was apparent that the cor
poration claimed the property as a gift,
whereas IL was specifically a trust.
I'm the report for 1923 the corporation
admitted that II had sold land to the
value Of $4,000 and borrowed SOS, coo
against anticipated sales. At the same
time Il was claimed that there were Sc
curities IN the hands OF the trustees
amounting 10 about $4,000
This year the emergency ward and the
| Vanderbilt pavilion have been closed for
| lack OF funds.
After considerable discussion and the
! refusal of the trustees to meet the COM
| mittee OF the city council at the city
| hall a resolution was passed authoriz-
/ ing and directing the mayor and city
solicitor TO ask the aid OF the attorney
| general to fnd out what the rights of the
| city might he In tho Hazard estate. The
| bill now brought will settle number OF
! questions which have from time TO time
been matters of public and private dis
cussion.
| II is claimed that the trustees are liza
! bic for the principal which has been con
verted TO the use OF the corporation, how
ever good their intention may have been
! They claim that they acted by advice OF
counsel. but the will. 1t is claimed. is ex'
explicit. and they applied for and obtained
! last summer an opinion from eminent
lawyers in Providence.
The corporation is q private one. orig
| inally founded by Henry Ledyard and a
! number OF his personal friends. II has re-
| ceived benefactio for buildings amount
ing TO about $3.50, 900 and over 600 has
been given 10 endow 80 free beds. The
Lefty also transferred TO II the marine
hospital established under the will OF Mrs.
Iittleheld. with an endowment fund of
about $4,000. Harold Brown and John
Nicholas Brown gave about $4,000 and
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt paid over $50
600 for the pavilion erected in memory of
her husband As there are a number Of
the trustees who are prominent cottagers
and Hon George Peabody Wetmore.
Major T. X. Gibbs, Colonel John Hare
Powell and George Gordon King have been
presidents great interest is attached to
the result OF the suit.
The whole amount involves, with the
free bed and other trusts, funds esti-
mated at over 500, 900.

RHODE ISLAND MILLS
FEEL LACK Of WATER POWER

Considerable anxiety has been felt late
ly over the lessening Of the water supply
Of the various mills and manufacturing
plants hereabouts. A severe drought has
been felt all over southern New England
though as yet no great inconvenience has
resulted
From the Burnham Manufacturing
company. the Atlantic mills and the Man.
ton mills, all on the Woona asquatucket
river, the report comes OF marked
shrinkaee OF available water supply and
slight difficulty in operating water power
machinery.
The Riverside Worsted mills are run
entirely by steam. But a large quantity
Of water Is used by this concern for their
boilers and for washing the goods No
very appreciable lessening of the supply
has been noticed AT this plant.
The silver Spring Bleachery is another
manufacturing concern that runs entirely
by steam. However. tho beachery prob
ably uses more water for its boilers and
for washing the goods than the average
mill uses as a motive power The water Is
very low In the West river from which
stream the hleachery gets its supply. IN
fact. the concern recently solicited water
from the Wanskuck mill and the Philip
Allen bleachory The supply Is decreasing

s25.631.37. in excess OF the appropriation
for fiscal year and 10 cnarge the same to
the appropriation for said department for
tho current fiscal year The report was
received and the resolution was adopted.
Mr.. Sisson spoke Of the need OF a board
Of education to take charge OF the public
schools Of this city as emphasized by this
call for extra money. The school com
mittee has always been n bone OF con
tention with the other departments none
OF which have ever run over their ap-
propriations. 1t is a matter that should
be looked into.
Mr.. Grady said there was apparently
no one in the school committee who knew
the proper way TO attend to the expendi-
ture OF money. II IL was there own money

ent system of appointing our police COM

Mr.. Peterson said II was time when the
council should rise to protest against the
iniauitous method OF electing a police
commission. I'm my opinion Il is only a
question OF weeks when an enabling act
will be presented to the legislature, giving
the city council the right 20 choose the
men who will receive the taxpayers
money.
