Eastern Story that Is Still Greatly

Eastern Story that Is Still Greatly
Enjoyed by the Boys.
Il see the shop windows full OF all
sorts of pretty things that betoken the
approach of Easter" said Mr.. Snoggle-
ton, "but none of the displays attracts
me so much as that in a Main street
window which is largely devoted to dyed
eggs and dyes for coloring Easter eggs
1t takes me back to boyhood as nothing
else could do. They tell me that here
in the north the children don't have very
much fun with Easter eggs, but in the
south, where l was raised. we used to
have great sport from Good Friday to
Easter Monday, and the old customs still
survive to q large extent. Picking eggs
was the popular sport with the boys. Ii
was not altogether as harmless form
of gambling as fond parents usually Inn
agined.
The process is simple. The contest
ants must first be provided with the re-
quisite number of hard boiled eggs, usu-
ally dyed in gay colors. Sometimes we
used to be able to buy real dyes and boil
the eggs in them, but the popular meth
cd in the little town where l was raised
was to get all the scraps of gay colored
calico that could be obtained, wrap each
egg carefully in the calico and boil it.
This would result in transferring the
pattern of the calico to the egg, and the
gaudier the colors the better we liked
them. The brilliantly oolored prints
which are made for the negro trade in
the south are seldom seen IN the north,
but they were just the things we want
ed.
In picking eggs the challenger at
tempts to break the shell Of the other
contestants eggs with his own egg. The
eggs are held tightly in the closed hands,
only the points protruding, and one boy
strikes with the point of his egg the
point of the other, the blows being only
just hard enough to crack the shell Of
one of the eggs. The one whose egg is
broken forfeits the egg to the owner
of the stronger egg have known boys
to accumulate many dozen eggs in this
way in the course of the Easter holidays,
although if there is no cheating the best
egg is sure to be broken sooner or later.
Put the boys in my town used to be
up to all sorts of tricks. Or course all
eggshells are not alike. Some have much
more lime in them than others, and the
eggs of the guinea hen, or guinea keat,
as the fowl is always called in the south,
are ever so much harder than ordinary
hens eggs. SO guinea keat eggs were
barred in egg picking, and every egg
offered for picking was carefully in
spected by the other boy before the chal-
lenge was accepted to make sure that it
was not a keat egg. 1t is easy enough
to tell the difference ordinarily, the keat
egg being smaller and of more pointed
shane. "-Buffalo Express.

An Easter Parable.

Once in a sheltered garden there
bloomed a beautiful flower so sweet and
pure that the south wind f0rsook all
other spots TO sweep ceaselessly, caress-
ingly around it. whispering soft words of
love.
But one day the flower faded, nor
could the south wind with warm kisses
revive its dropping head.
Then came the gardener through his
garden, who. seeing the dying flower.
plucked il from its stem and, tearing
out It's golden heart, buried it deep in
the black earth.

wind, because it understood not

SOMETHING ABOUT HARDIN.
The Newest City in the World and
One of the Most Remarkable Tovvns-

Hardin. Manchuria, is new city
in the heart of Manchuria, built by
Russia, and is one of the worlds
greatest achievements in city construc-
ton. Hardin is located on the Sun
gari River, at the point where the
Manchurian branch of the Siberian
Railway crosses the stream, and where
the Chinese Eastern branch starts
south to Dalny and Port Arthur. 1t is
about $50 miles west of Vladivostok
and 600 miles north of Port Arthur.
It's location is the geographical CEN
ire Of Manchuria, and promises, says
United States Consul Miller of New
chwang, to become the commercial
centre as well. The city is surround
ed on all sides for hundreds of miles
with a rich and productive agricultu-
raj country producing corn, wheat,
oats, barley, beans, millet, hemp, to-
bacco, vegetables and some fruits.
Minerals and timber and great areas
Of grazing land also surround it.
Tie entire city is a Russian pro-
duct just as much as though it were
located in the heart Of Russia. Only
Russians and Chinese are permitted
to own land, construct buildings,
or engage in any permanent en-
terprise. The city was constructed
under the management of the Manchu-
rian Railway Company by the Russian
Government. The land for many miles
in each direction has been secured so
as to make 1t impossible for any for
eign influence to obtain a foothcld
close to the city. and foreigners are
not recognized as having any rights
whatever, but arc permitted there by
sufferance. Here is an object lesson
as to the way in which Russia will
shut out foreign trade, foreign capital
and foreign rights from Manchuria
and China, and all OF the Far East
which she has, or can get, in her
grasp. In the present war, Japan is
really fighting for all the world, out
side of Russia, to checlmate and de-
stroy this inordinate Russian greed
1t was in 1900 that Hardin began
to assume Importance IS a railroad
centre. One year later the population
was 10000 Russians. BY October
1908, the census showed $4,000, ex-
elusive of soldiers. ALI are Russians,
except 700 Of Japanese and other ma
tlonalities. There are no Americans.
The total administration expendi-
ture on the city has been 100000
rubles ($15, 450,000). This expendi-
ture covers administration buildings,
hospitals, railway shops, commercial
schools and girls school, technical
school, eight elementary schools, club
and store, hotel and the Russo-Chi-
nese Bank.
The Sungari River is navigable for
200 miles above the city, up both
branches.
The railroads running from Hardin
connect with seagoing ships at New
chwang, Dalny and Port Arthur.
The Russo-Chinese Bank makes a
point of giving preferential advant-
ages to Russian and Chinese mer-
chants, but its treatment of foreign
ers is quite the contrary
Harbin's leading industry is the
manufacture of flour. Eight mills are
now in operation, but only the small
est one has American machinery. The
other industries are brick manufact-
uring, vodka breweries, meat packing,
confectionery and sawmills Walter

EASTER ISLAND.
A Curious Story About One of the
Polynesian Group.

A Curious Story About One Of the
Polynesian Group.
Far away in the Pacific ocean lies
lonely volcanic island which is called
Easter island from the fact that it was
discovered on Easter day, 1922, by a nav
igator named Roggereen, a Dutch adj
miral Its real name is Rapa-Nui, and
its Polynesian inhabitants are fast dy-
ing out. Comparatively few explorers
have visited it, and. contrary to the joy
Gus spring name it has, it is deserted
place.
What makes Easter island of interest
are the numbers of curious colossal stone
heads and husts. called moai, which
abound there, evidently the work of the
natives hundreds of years ago. A few
of these are erect but many have fallen.
The legend says that King Tukuihu
settled in Rapa-Nui and retired into
cave. where he carved and cut all the
gigantic heads, which removed them
selves to their present position on the
island.
When he became old, he did not die,
but was turned into a butterfly which
is called in that country by his name.
Tukuihu used to search for eggs in
the nests of the sea birds. and when he
lost his human form the chiefs who wish
ed to succeed him agreed to search for
certain number of eggs and the first to
collect them was appointed king. 1t
seems singular that eggs without any
especial significance should have been so
important on Easter island.-Chicago

JURY SETS DEWEY FREE.
Trial of Millionaire Kansas Cattiemau
Ends in Vertiiot of AcouittaI.


At Norton, Kan, after celebrating for
twenty eight and a half hours the Jury
brought in verdict acquitting Cbauncey
Dewey and his two Cowboys, Clyde Will
son and William ]. Mcbride, of the
murder of Burchard Berry. This ends
one Of the most famous trials in the Grim
inal annals OF Kansas and which at one
time threatened to cause an armed up
rising in the cattle country. So strong
was the feeling against Dewey and his
men that the Governor was at one time
forced to call out the State militia to
prevent hoStilities between the rival fac
tons.
A few years ago Chauncey Dewey ar
rived in Kansas from Chicago. He had
plenty of money and at once established
a large ranch in Comanche County, buy
ing several thousand acres OF land and
surrounding it with wire fences. Set
tiers In the neighborhood did not look
upon his enterprise with favor. He had
money and they had not aud they fear
ed that he would eventually drive them
out of the country by buying all the
unoceupied land on which they grazed
their cattle and feleing it in. Many
times MS II noes were destroyed Dy Jne

clash between his cowboys and the small
cattle owners.
The Berrys, Daniel and his sons Bur
chards and Alpheus. We're especially ac-
tive in opposition to the young million
aire. Finally the climax came in the
early part OF last summer and in a fight
between Dewey and his men on one side
and the Berrys on the other Daniel Ber-
ry and his two sons were slain.
The whole county was Immediately
in an uproar. Dewey and his cowboys
were placed under arrest and armed
bands of settlers gathered to wreak sum-
mary vengeance on them.
A company of militia was sent to as
sist the sheriff in taking his prisoners to
the Jail at st. Francis and all the way
the soldiers were threatened with attack
from the angry settlers who lowered
about the little army as it marched
across the prairie. For several weeks
the Jail was guarded by the militia un-
til the excitement had died down suffi-
GENTLY to make it safe to put the men
on trial.
The acquittal will doubtless cause
fresh outburst on the part of the settlers
and it is doubtful whether Dewey will

ENEMY OF WHALES.
Strange Creature Said to Exist in the
Waters of Alaska.


While operating fishery in Admir-
atty Island, Alaska, last summer, my
attention of the fishing crew was al
most daily attracted ITO a large ma
rine creature that would appear in
the main channel of the Seymour
Canal ard our immediate vicinity,
says Forest and Stream. There ere
large numbers of whales of the spe-
cies rorqual there, and the monster
seemed to be their natural enemy.
The whales generally travel in schools
and while at the surface to blow one
would be singled out and attacked
by the fish, and battle was soon in
order.
1t is the nature of the rorqual to
make three blows at intervals of from
one to three minutes each and then
sound deep and stay beneath the sur
face for thirty or forty minutes. AS
whale would come to the surface
there would appear always at the
whales right side and Just about
where his head would connect with
OuC OOhJt q 6ACob lOAS Ndlt vi Hi,
Judged by five fishermen and num-
Der of Indians after seeing it about
fifteen times at various distances" to
be about twenty-four feet long, two and
one-half feet wide at the end, and Ia
pering down to the water, where it
seemed TO be about eighteen inches
in diameter, looking very much like
the blade of the fan of an old-fash-
toned Dutch windmill
The great club was used on the
back Of the unfortunate whale in such
a manner that it was a wonder to
me that every whale attacked was
not instantly killed. It's operator
seemed to have perfect control of it's
movements, and it would bend it back
till the end would touch the water,
forming a horseshoe loop; then with
sweep it would be Strengthened and
brought over and down on the back
of the whale with a whack, that could
be heard for several miles II the
whale was fortunate enough to sub
merge its body before the blows came
a hundred feet from the effect of the
strike, making a report as loud as a
yachts signal gun.
What seemed most remarkable to
me was that no matter which way the
attacked whale went, or how fast (the
usual speed is about fourteen knots),
that great club would follow right
along by its side and deliver those
tremendous blows at intervals of about
four or five seconds. 1t would always
get in from three to FIVE blows at
each Of the three times the whale
would come IS. the surface TO blow.
The whale would generally rid itself
sound, especially if the water was for
ty fathoms or more deep During
the day the attack was always of
shore, but at night the whales would
be attacked in the bay and Within four
hunderd yards Of the fishery.
do not know of any whales being
killed, but there were several that
had great holes and sores on their
backs. Questioning the Indians about
II, / was told that there was only
one, that 1t had been there for many
years, and that it once attacked an
Indian canoe and with one stroke of
the great club smashed the canoe into
splinfers, killing and drowning sew

NEW ENGLAND JARRE0.
Earthquake Shock Lasting Three Sec

Earthquake Shock Lasting Three Sec
onds Stirs Up Several States.
An earthquake which began in st.
John, ~ B., and is thought to have done
considerable damage in New Brunswick,
Maine and Massachusetts, shook Boston
at ! o'clock Monday morning. The
shocks are said to have been the most
severe experienced in that section of the
country since the memorable seismic
disturbance of 1894.
In Boston and suburbs houses were
rocked like cradles. dishes were tossed
from shelves and furniture broken in
many homes. At Augusta. Me. several
chimneys were knocked down. The
shock most severely felt in the vicinity
of BOSTON was at Revere, a seashore
town. In that town several houses rock
ed so that the occupants rolled from
their beds, and at the telephone exchange
the operator, Russell Clark, was knock
ed from his chair.
A policeman named McKenny, who
was in the headquarters of the park po-
lice at Revere, was thrown violently to
the floor and slightly injured. Clark. the
telephone operator, says that he felt n
peculiar sensation all through his body
when he was knocked from his chair.
The shock was felt plainly as far south
as Taunton. Reports from Manchester,
n. H.. and Springfield, Mass. state that
the vibrations were felt distinctly in
those two cities. Observers at the Har-
ward University astronomical obserya-
tory in Cambridge noted the shock.
In Newburyport the earthquake shook
everything. Waterman Harris Page of
the Towle- Montgomery Compary's plant
says the factory was shaken. In other
sections Of the city people were awak-
ened by the rafting of doors and win
dows. Shelves and furniture were brok-
en- in many houses
