sum, but the fault was finally settled on
one man, the youngest to hold a RESPONSE

the life that demanded the most money.
There was some circumstantial evidence
too. They found a key proved to be his
by a mark worn in it from a corrugated
keyring which he used to carry, and
when they tried to compare the key with
the ring he claimed to have lost it. This
was the particular thing that made his
relatives dread to have a public trial
and so they persuaded him to take some
of his personal property and make up
the amount stolen; then he resigned and
went away. At the same time there was
another man in the bank who gave up
his position"
Miss Quinley paused, and, putting up
her hands, loosened the little fur boa
about her neck as if it choked her.
Hemans had changed his position and

and his head supported between his
clenched fists.

The Easter Date.

The observance of Easter dates back
to about the year 6S, at which time there
was much contention among the Eastern
and Western churches as to what day
the festival should be observed. 1t was
finally ordained at the Council of Nice.
in the year 325, that it must be observ-
ed throughout the Christian world on
the same day. This decision settled that
Easter should be kept upon the Sunday
first after the fourteenth day of the first
Jewish month, but no general conclu-
sion was arrived at as to the cycle by
which the festival was to be regulated.
and some churches adopted one rule and
some another. This diversity of usage
was put an end to, and the Roman rule
making Easter the first Sunday after the
fourteenth day of the calendar moon was
established in England in $50. After
nine centuries a discrepancy in the keep
ing OF Easter was caused by the author
tiles of the English church declining to
adopt the reformation of the Gregorian
calendar in 1882. The difference was
settled in 1852 by the adoption of the
rule which makes Easter day always the
first Sunday after the full moon which
appears on or next after the 21st day of
March. If the full moon happens upon
a Sunday, Easter is the Sunday after.

Her Life Girl Killed by Falling
Chimney Peculiar Club in Chippewa

Miss Anna Stuart, aged SO, one of the
leading women of Madison society, killed
herself by jumping into cistern. 1t is
believed she was demented, for she had

her to the State insane asylum. The
previous night she sat up late playing
cards at home. In the morning she was
missed and the neighbors and police en-
gagged in a search, resulting in finding
the body in the cistern of the home of
eX-Congressman Nils P Haugen a mile
away from the Stuart home. Miss Stu
art disappeared few weeks ago and

soul and to spiritual things; to recall the
fasting and temptations and the last
earthly days of the Master, and to re-
dedicate their aims and ambitions.

encourages theological or ecclesiastical
differences, is impatient and needless of
them. Men of all creeds are becoming

resurrection of a man who has been
buried, or might as we'll have BEEN"


Lent is nominally a part of the relig-
ious life of but two of the great Chris
tan bodies Of this country-the Roman
Catholic and Protestant Episcopal
churches-yet it has come in recent years
to be more or less generally observed by
ALL
Why is this the case? The tendency
of the religious life of the day is toward
that which is practical; yet here is drift
toward something which. in the minds of
many persons, is associated with ritual
ism. Men and women who belong to
none of the churches which formally OBJ
serve Lent now modify their habits con-
siderably during period of forty days,
to conform to this ancient Christian fast.
They may NOT follow any of the rules in
regard to strict tasting or even to alb
staining from meat, but they do make
changes in their daily habits which are
quite as significant.
In many of the large cities there are
daily Lenten services in churches so sit
uated as to attract business men. Brok-
ers leave their tickers for an hour at
noon, and spend the time in listening to
a brief address. Sunday congregations
are larger and attendance at places of
amusement is smaller.
The explanation is doubtless simple.
1t is that other churches besides those
which have been mentioned, and perhaps
persons outside of churches, have begun
to feel that it is good to give a part

The difficulty is that all refrigerator
designs disregard this fact, and allow
the cold water, derived from the melt.
ing Of the ice, to flow away to a drain
or waste pipe. By equipping the re-
frigerator compartment with a reser-
yoir presenting a large surface area,
and collecting the drip water therein,
the melting Of ice is reduced to a min
1mum, the water absorbing a large
amount Of heat that would otherwise
be consumed in transforming the ice
into water. Means, Of course, should
be provided to carry the cold water to
the bottom of the reservoir and to per-
nit the surplus water to escape from
the surface.
