: Quaint Easter Customs S
G-9r~ss---af-s.---ae-..---2r-sE

The universal Easter reioicings in
olden times were not all because of
the great event which Easter com
memorates. Old records show that 1t
was often because the long forty
days fast was over with return to
solid eating once more-not only to
solid eating. but for the time to much
feasting
Anciently the paschal or Easter
season extended from the Sunday be-
fore until the Sunday after Easter
proper. On the Holy Thursday be-
fore. called Maunday or Shere Thurs
day, there were services commemora-
tive of Chrlst's washing the disciples
feet. The Pope at Rome, the arch
bishops In various countries, and the
monarchs in England even through
Elizabeth's time had feet washing
services. the necessary accompani-
ment of which was the giving of food
and money to the poor.
On Holy Saturday and Easter eve
the services vary in the different
churches. That in the Greek church
lasts all night There are great
crowds in the church at Jerusalem.

who are there to witness the fire
descend from heaven into the sepul-
cher and to light their candles by 1t.
The Easter feast in that church is the
mos. important of the year. Lent over
the ovens are crowded with prepare
tions for banqueting. Every house
is fragrant with the odor of pies and
baked meats and everybody is in
festal array. A great many visits are
paid.
On the last day of Lent everybody
in Rome rushes to the Vatican. In
Italy the "sepulchers" in the churches
are watched night and day by people
clad in deep mourning from the dawn
of the Holy Thursday till midday on
Saturday. when the body is supposed
to rise from the grave. The resurrec-
ton is announced by the firing of can
non, the blowing of trumpets and the
ringing of the bells which from the
preceding Thursday have been care
fully tied up to protect them from the
power of the devil.

popular rejoicings that Lent was over.

There was an accusing voice in the
swelling notes of the big pipe organ.
Peal upon peal of denunciation rolled
out into the dim-aisled church and re-
verberated back from the vaulted cell
ing, all its solemn impeachment seem
ing finally to center itself in the pew
occupied by the stately Miss Weyman.
She trembled under the stormy ar
raignment. She looked back over her
life with a shudder and realized for
the first time its utter selfishness.
There were no crimes of commission
upon her spotless life, but what had
she done to make the world brighter
or better? Nothing! The answer
seemed to come in mighty anger from
the big organ, rather than from her
own inner consciousness.
Bred in luxury and reared in idle
ness, what had she ever accomplished
with the ten talents that the Master
had given her? Her charities? She
had given much out of her abundance,
but she had never given SO much as
a crumb of bread that meant sacrifice
Of one moments comfort. Selfshness.
selfishness, selfishness, 1t was the
keynote of her life-and the whole
message of the big organ that morn
ing.
The sun presently shot through a
great stained-glass window that cast
a food of golden light athwart Miss
Weyman's pew, and that same mo-
ment the thunderous rebuke of the
organ ceased, and in its place came a
strain of pleading harmony and then
a sweet, clear note of humble praise
with sorrowful undertone that car
ried with it a suggestion of the agony
o. the cross.
She glanced up and bright smile
from the choir turned her cheeks
afiame. There was her guilt of sell
fishness! She realized now that this
was the thing that had lain dormant
upon her conscience for so long And
there must be her sacrifice, She
turned faint and almost cried out at
the thought. He belonged to her!
He belonged to her! For five long
years they had been as good as be-
trothed and for two years she had

She, too. was looking up into the

with the handsome young bass. Grace
turned at her sisters movement and
met her eye with calm. steady gaze
in which there was no concealment,
then smiled at her with the perfect
understanding of true sisterly affec-
ton.
Miss Weyman caught her breath
with a sigh of relief. There was no
disloyalty there, she knew. She re-
fected with pang that these two
young people did not know their own
secrets as yet. They might never

WALLER TAKES Law
i IN HIS own HANDS

Big Chief Leroy Waller is getting
bigger every day-in his ignorant as
sumption Of authority over every
body connected with the city hall ad-
ministration. Because of this the big
chief was snubbed by Police Judge
Hinkle and Prosecutor Barnhart this
afternoon.
A. II. Merrick, alias A. II. House,
was before Judge Hinkle on a charge
of trying to shoot Policeman Cecil
Thompson. Merrick, or House, want
ed witnesses to show how much he
was misjudged and the case was con-
tinued until Thursday. Then it was
that the Judge and prosecutor dis
covered that the man was out on a
ridiculously low bond, considering the
offense charged.
Merrick tried to shoot officer
Thompson in the Ackley saloon on
Main avenue near Bernard street
Edward Covey. the proprietor, had
accidentally shot himself and Ser
geant Sullivan and officers Lister and
Thompson were called. 1t developed
that Coveys gun dropped out of his
pocket and exploded, shooting tho
saloon man in the leg.
Covey had given Merrick his
money and requested the police to
look after the cash register account.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1904-12-12

Officer Thompson saw Merrick pocket
the money instead of putting it in the
cash register.
When the policeman took the
money away, Merrick, who was
standing between the sergeant and
the officer. turned his back and drew
a heavy 41-caliber gun. He turned
with the weapon, which was pointed
directly at Officer Thompson's stom-
ach. and was raising the hammer
when the officer jumped in and grab
bed the revolver. The trigger was
pulled and the hammer came down,
catching the policeman's fingers and
preventing an explosion of the car
fridge, thus saving Thompson's life.
Merrick was overpowered and taken
to the police station. Nothwithstand
ing the fact that one of his officers
narrowly escaped being murdered, Big
Chief Waller, after Judge Hinkle had
refused bonds, allowed Merrick his
liberty on a 500 bond-which amount
was represented in a check at that
another violation of police rule.
This afternoon both Prosecutor
Barnhart and Judge Hinkle had
things to say about the extraordinary
with assault to kill on such small
bonds. The bail for Merrick was in
creased to $500.

have nothing to do with him. A
guest of the hotel came up and was
scolded severely for not being a

At the station Mrs. Oliver declared
she had been in Medical Lake and
was willing to go back. Her son was
communicated with over the tele-

of the young mans early life and the
