than the corresponding three years OF
the Russell regime.
He touched lightly but surely on tho
extravaganza of the Republican adj
ministration of eight years showing
that it cost $SO5, 100000 more than
the Cleveland administration. Ho
sketched the character of Roosevelt
showing his usurpation of power and
his rough riding over the Constitution
and Congressional privilege.
He endorsed the Cuba war, but re-

Hobson, and others, showed the ridic-
ulousness of the plea that it was q
Republican war. He strongly attack

protective tariff and exposed
the dishonesty of Roosevelt's alleged
opposition to trusts, and referred to
Judge Parker as the ideal candidate

law and preserving to the people their
Constitutional rights and liberties.

OLD-TlME EASTER FRANKS
Peculiar Amusement of the Day
Found in Many Coun-
tries

An old time Easter seems to have been
merry with many quaint frolics, which
lasted generally throughout the entire
week, and business and other serious
occupations gave way to fun.
Among the boys egg battles were fav-
orite Easter pastimes. Crowds of boys
would assemble in the streets, each
furnished with a number of hard boiled
eggs. The battle" consisted of hitting
the eggs together, each boy using but one
of his at time. The egg that held out
the longest won all the others. Several
rounds were played in this way.
Another old Easter jollification was
that known as lifting" or "heaving."
Groups of several men with large arm
chairs were to be seen on the streets here
and there. Any woman that ventured
in their direction was grabbed and lifted
high in chair three times unless she
paid fee or gave kiss to be let off. On
Tuesday the woman returned the atten-
tion or as many Of them as felt qualified
as to muscle. AND on Tuesday no one
was let off for anything.
In Ireland there was the sun dance, at
which the people did not .dance, but arose
on Easter long before dawn to watch
the sun rise and dance for JOY" as they
really thought it cid on that day. II
they saw, or imagined they saw, the sun
dance and look jubilant it was taken as
permission that they might do likewise
for the rest of the holidays.
kissing seems to have been permitted
ad libitum through Easter week. The
giving of Ester eggs was accompanied
by kiss as matter of course, and Cupid
made merry at Easter, as we'll as at st..
Valentines day, in ye olden times.-N.

THE FOSTER HASE'S" NEST,
How the Rabbit Came to Be the Sp"-
. cial Genius of the Easter
Season.

There is curious and very sweet little
legend cherished by German children
concerning the Easter rabbit. Once upon
a time, they tell us, nice, kind rabbit,
who was walking along quiet wood
land road, came across fine, large nest
filled with eggs. The poor mother hen
had been seized by wicked fox and
could not go back to her darling nest,
so this kind rabbit slept all night upon
it, and when he woke in the morning lit
was Easter morning) the nest was full
Of little, downy, yellow chickens. The
chickens though the rabbit was their
own mamma, so they cried out for some
thing to eat, and the rabbit ran about and
fetched food for them, and kept them
warm and fed them until they were all
old enough to take care of themselves.
Ever since then the rabbit has been the
special genius of Easter time, AMI this
holiday is not complete for German lit
tie folk without an "Oster Hase's nest"
1t holds many favor and present. sery-
ing the same purpose that Christmas
stockings and wooden shoes do at
Christmas time.-Mrs. A. G. Leais, in

man die, shall he live again?'
When the most eloquent divine Of
France stood before the bier of Louis
XIV: to pronounce an eulogy upon that
great ruler, he remained silent for
some time, overcome by his emotions.
Finally, recovering himself in part, he
said in voice half-choked with sobs:
"There is nothing great but death"
This was the utterance OF man con-
quered of grief, at the death of loved
master. 1t was but the repetition of
wall that has been heard throughout
all the ages in every nation. The d.
vine in King Louis panegyrist was
swallowed up Of the thought that his
royal master, greatest among men. had
been defeated by the arch-king of ter

Yet the preacher was wrong and al
together wrong. There is that far
greater than death, and it is immortal

all living things-plants. birds. beasts
and man. Yet Death ends with life on
