Season.

There is a 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 a 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 20 back to her darling nest,
30 this kind rabbit slept all night upon
t. and when he woke In the morning 0t
was Easter morning. the nest was fun
Of little, GOwny yellow chickens, The
chickens though the rabbit was their
own mamma SO they cried out for some-
thing 10 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 and this
holiday Is not complete for German lit
lie folk without an "Ostor Hase's nest"

THE PUBLIC HAVE RIGHTS
Perpetual Injunction Issued Against
the Jones & LOughlin Steel Co.
The Great PiusburG Corporation
Must Not iuiure Surrounding
Property with Its Ore Dust.

Philadelphia, March 29-The state
supreme court directed that an injUrN-
ton be issued perpetually enjoinlns
the Jones & Loughiin Steel Co. Of
Pittsbure from such operation of its
furnaces located in the For.teenth
ward of Pittsburg as to produce clouds
Of ore dust that would injure surround
ing property. The Jones & LouShlin
Co.'S property represents an invest
ment of s5.0oO.0O0 and gives employ
ment to about 1OS00 persons.

a Pittsburg court, which refused an in

among other things, says the right of
the steel company to operate in Pitts
burg must be conceded, but it can not
so operate its furnaces as TO actually
destroy homes and other property in

has been no loss of life in this city

recently cut out under the Grand
Trunk railroad tracks is now believed
TO be responsible for the Unprecedented
flooding of the upper half of the west
side. Heretofore the railroad embank-
ment 20 feet high, served as a dyke.
Encouraging reports from Lansing,
Battle Creek, Flint, Kalamazoo and
other towns where flood damage have
been estimated up in the hundreds Of
thousands of dollars, show that the
danger and distress are largely CEN
tralized in the Saginaw valley and
around Grand Rapids in the valley Of
the Grand river. And at Grand Rap
ids, too, a marked improvement is not
ed, yet it is estimated that $4,000 peo-
pie are in distress.
