comfort, the day of eternal hope. the
day Of eternal promise. We have
seen the Light Of the World dying
upon Calvary, we have beheld the
Lamb Of God inundated upon the
Cross, we have seen how that head
which once had rested in the shadow
OF the dove of snowy pinion, which
was the Spirit Of the Lord had bled
beneath the crown of thorns; we have
seen Him die-and how awful a thing
1t IS to sec one die, especially if you
love the one who is dying. We have
seen tender hands take him down from
His Cross and lay Him away in a
rocky grave. and there we have left
Him with hope dead, and life blank
and courage lost. We have duly and
mournfully followed those who have
waited without the circle of those
Roman guards, weeping and bewailing
the Master they had lost, and lo in
the brightness Of the Easter morning
we have seen Him rise again.

Do we grow first the blade, then the

we blossom and bear the perfect fruit
OF true manhood and perfect woman
hood and then fade away suddenly
like the grass, green and fresh in the
morning and at night dried up and
withered and cut down and cast into
the fire? And is it only that?
Do you struggle through life doing
your duty, helping your fellow-man,
loving. your neighbor, only to be
blotted out in the end? Are the men

And is that all? A despairing cry.

And this is no idle word, no care

of His own free will, of His own

hold and tether the horses of the
young ladies and their escorts and
brothers.
True enough, Bob had fetched half
dozen Of his chums. Young John had
also brought his wife's cousin from
back in Carolina. Then there were
Preacher Gentle's girls, Polly and
Missy, SO that altogether it was a pic
mic crowd rather than the regulation
fish-fry gathering. Most men had
only men at their fries, but Father Ma
iOrs liked TO have his family share in
all he did.
What the young folk, men and wo-
men did there is no need to set down.
Since the days of Eden they have been
doing pretty much the same thing
Suffice it that the canoes went voyag-
ing, up and down, with laughing loads
that made no pretense even of fishing,
also that though pole and line were
allotted to each conner, a good three
parts of them stuck all day neglected
in the bank, or were only looked at
laggardly when some luckless fish by
chance impaled himself on the hook.
But out around the frying fire there
was another story. Sam disputed pri-
macy there with Aunt Rhoda-to the
disgust Of both.
You stick ter yo' axe and butcher
knife, nigger! You done fotched dem
same as | done fotched my sl1illets and
oben and bread tray" Rhoda com
nanded, loftily. So Sam was forced
to scale and cut up fish, wash pota-
toes, and slice bacon, instead Of be
ing, as he had pictured himself, the
presiding genius of the feast.
A feast it was. What fish is ever so
sweet as that fried within sight of its
native water? Perch, suckers, cat,
what not. all were scaled, or scraped,
cut in generous pieces, salted, pep
pered, rolled in dry sifted corn-mea1,
and then droDDed in bubbling hot ba-
con fat, an inch deep. The pieces
The Saint Paul globe., 1904-04-03

were watched constantly. Sam had
hawks eye for the least over-coloring,
and here Aunt Rhoda welcomed his
help. Brown, crisp, smoking hot, the
pieces were heaped on the biggest
platter, and sent to the eaters, who sat
comfortably on logs, roots and stones,
along with hot, roasted yams, hot ash
cake, and crisp fried bacon The wo-
men ate from pewter plates. The men
made shift with big pieces of ash-cake
that in the end were eaten with the
last relay of hot fish.
There was so much of it. and It was
SO excellent, that the other good
things might reasonably have been
neglected, but they were not. Two,
at least, Of the town fellows vowed
the fish was not a patch on Mother
Majors ham. The young man from
Carolina gave his suffrage to the fried
pies, and said openly that he meant
to marry into the family, if possible,
III hope of such eating all his life. AS
tor the pound cake, iced till it looked
like Christmas, everybody ate and
praised it until they could eat no more.
Even young Johns wife, who was
naturally and normally critical of her
mother-1n-laW's cooking, gave in that
her own mother could not make cake
as good.
Well might she! Though light as
feather, that pound cake was inno-
cent of any such sophistications as
baking powder, soda and cream of
tartar. 1t was raised solely with
eggs, butter and beating-for Aunt
Rhoda had stout right arm, we'll ex-
erc1sed in the discipline Of her eleven
I children. This time she had tried
herself, and excelled herself. Natur-
ally, she grudged the heel of the bic
loaf to the black fishermen. who
sWarmed in to eat after their masters
and mistresses. But she could not
say 50. Had not Miss Susanna or
dered that nothing edible should be
carried home, except, of course, the
fish?
They were big and plenty. Even
little Alex had fine string. In those
good times every watercourse teemed
with silver fms. Bob said irreverentlv
that the girls were like the Apostles
first, fishers in water; then fishers of
men However that may have been.
the fact remains that three matches,
and happy ones, were made at this
! particular Easter hsh-fry.

songs, and told the worlds stories, are
they only memories? Do we live only
for a remembrance? Do we hope only
for a record of our virtues preserved
upon the mural tablets Of the world?
Did the soul that sung the songs
of Shakespeare die with him? Did the
hand that transfgured the Glory of
God upon the canvas lose its cunning
when Raphaers human heart had
stopped its beating? Did Michael
Angelo carve a place for himself only
for this feeting hour of life? Did
great Columbus adventure in unknown
seas for the fame of span of years
alone? Did George Washington lead
his barefoot men through the SHOWS
of Valley Forge and did those men
follow him there, and did Abraham
Lincoln fall in his hour of triumph,
for a republic of to-day?
And the husband who has left you,
or the father. or the mother. or the
brother, or the wife, or the little
child that loved you and wound him
self within your heart, are they blotted
out forever since the heart has ceased
to beat? Are they like a withered
flower, like a dead and faded rose,
which gave you Joy for season and
now is only dust and ashes upon you?
Is the end of life like the end of the
flower, only ashes of roses? Are
things true, or do you believe with
me thy brother shall rise again?"
Look to the Cross on Easter morn
ing and with the assurance OF
the Risen Lord to inspire you face the
future with its possibilities. face life
with its problems, face death with its
mysteries, with serene confidence
with perfect trust, with absolute hope
because although 'in Adam all die
even so in Christ shall all be made

and men alike pulled out of pocket a

twigs, held them in the fire, and, when
they were smoking hot, ate them with
relish. Once or twice the eating was

Men Learn Spanish

Tourists in Nagasaki, Japan, are
often surprised to hear the sa1npan-
men and the rickshaw men in the
street shout Spanish words to white
passersby; as, hey, amigo" (hey,
friend), or "hombre," a common ex-
clamation of attention meaning
man" In the stores the statesmen
also use similar terms, as "no sabe," "
meaning don't know" etc
The explanation is simple The
Japs themselves do not know that
thy are using Spanish words; they
believe them English slang They
have learned them from American sol
diers homeward bound from the Phil
ippines. The Yankee boys, used to
employing Spanish phrases in speaking
to Filipinos, instinctively do the same
with the Japs, forgetting that their
language is different.

OF his, named Gardner. and his first
experience with the Japanese bath

made study of the Japanese bathing
system, and that when he left the
country what he didn't know about
them was exactly enough to make a
native bathing suit-nothing.
