day, it still grieves, in somber attire.
with bowed head, and still each petal
ever sheds pearly tear.
The oxalis, or wood solrel, was
standing at the foot of the cross and
received some drops of the precious
blood. These she bears even to this
day. The Italians have this same le-
gend about the oxalis, which they call
"allelula," to indicate that the little
blossom is glorifying God for its great
privilege. The scarlet anemone, too,
is said to bear the stains of Christ's
blood.
The poppy yet carries the memory
of the cross. deeply craven in her
heart. The banana, too, preserves the
cross in the center of its fruit For
this reason, the people of the Canary
Islands will never cut through a ba-
mana as we do; if they ever use a
knife to it, they slice it on lengthwise.
The aspen still shivers with re-
morse because, when Christ passed it
on the way to Calvary, it boldly faced
the heavens, instead of paying hon.
age, as the other trees did. The will
low was used for scourges. and ever
since it has bowed its branches in
sorrow. The elder is commonly sup
posed to be the tree upon which Ju-
das hanged himself. 1t is not to be
used even for firewood. However, it
is safe refuge in time of storm, for
not even lightning will deign to strike
it. A fungus that grows on the elder
and is now known as Jews ear, was
originally called Judas ear. The ce-
dar, the pine, and the box are all
connected with the crucifixion Differ
ent authorities vary in just what
woods did form the cross. Bede says
the cypress, the cedar, the pine, and
the box; but Saint Chrysostom quotes
from Isaiah 1x:13: "The glory of
Lebanon CEDAR Shall come unto
thee, the fir tree. the pine tree, and
the box, together to beautify my
sanctuary" The church fathers con-
sidered four woods necessary to the
cross to symbolic the four quarters
of the globe over which it's influence
would spread. One tradition says that
the cross was made of apple wood,
the inference being obvious.
An old English legend carries the
cross back to the days of our first
parents. Adam sent Abel to an angel
to petition him to show them the path
back to Eden. The angel gave Abel
three seeds, saying that from their
trunks would spring the path to Para
disc. The seeds were planted, and
one tree, at least, a magnificent ce-
dar, was flourishing at the time Solo.
mon erected his temple. This glori-
GUS king had the tree cut down to
furnish ridge pole, but after it was
brought in, it was found to be too
short. Then it was cast aside and lay
waste by the pool of Bethesda until
it was taken to form the cross.
The old legends may seem to us
now relics of a superstitous age, and
yet they indicate a step in our own
civilization. They represent the time
when man considered all things made
for himself. Their peculiar traits, or
formation, people believed, must
show some connection with his his.

The First Easter

Bearing a burden holy
Down from the hill of shame
With heavy hearts. and slowly,
The friends of Jesus came.
With His dear life forever
All joy and hope had flown;
o saddest night that ever
This sad old earth has knowni
But oh, the happy morrow.
When at the break of day
They sought His tomb with sorrow
The stone was rolled AWAY
Such happy day shall never
Dawn for the world again,
Yet shall its joy forever
Bless all the sons of men.
o Thou from death arisen,
Bend down and hear us pray!
Chained in fieshly prison,
We call to Thee to-day.
The asphodels of heaven
Are fair. we know. to see:
But each flower we have given
Bears prayer and praise to Thee.

Diaz and the Monroe Doctrine.

President Diaz thinks SO highly Of the
Monroe doctrine he would like to have all
the republics of this hemisphere formally
indorse it. That as he thinks, would change
its name to the American doctrine and add
to its force. He would have each republic
in it's own behalf say to the powers across
the Atlantic what President Monroe said IN
behalf Of the United States Mexico In her
present prosperous condition Is product.
and most distinguished one. Of the Mon
roe doctrine. We saved her from French
exploitation and gave her the opportunity
she has so well improved. Louis Napoleon's
scheme was ambitious one, and only the
United States could have defeated 1t. For
tunately for Mexico and for ourselves we
were in excellent condition at the time to
assert our purposes. Fresh from the fields
of the civil war. we could have put an army
to work that would have swept everything
before it. Napoleon needed no second warn
ing We should do for any American re-
public now what we did for Mexico then
And yet there are people in Central and
South America who eye our policy with
suspicion, and complain that ours is a hec-
torlng tone toward them and their affairs.

The National Chameleon.

For many years the District of Columbia
has been accustomed to be treated as ma
tionAI waif 1t has suffered from neglect
and from overattentiOn, from insufficient
and surplus legislation. from too little study
and from too much research 1t has been
batted to and fro whenever it has tried to
establish It's character and identity, until
II does not know today whether it Is a
state a municipality. federal district or
a territory. 1t has been called all four 1t
has been treated as a state when burdens
are to be imposed, and not state when
privileges are to be enjoyed. Only season
or so ago two different officers of the gov
eminent approached the grave question of
what the District really is, and came to
diametrically opposite conclusions. One of
them. the Controller of the Treasury, hay
ing before him a question as to the as
position Of a certain appropriation for a
hospital work, ruled that the District was
not a municipality. but federal district
and that therefore the money which the
Commissioners wished to have made avail
able in certain manner must be expended
otherwise. Within a few days came the
other dictum. from the attorney for the Post
Office Department that the District was
municipality and was therefore not entitled
to the ranking privilege And the remark
able and mysterious part of the whole mat
ter Is that both decisions stand today with
the effect of law.
Having passed thus through many expert
ences calculated to upset it's eQuanimity, the
District was quite prepared to learn that
defendant in a criminal case. pleading in the
Supreme Court of the United States, had
demurred to the entire proceeding on the

For the state of Maryland had no rightful
authority forsooth. to donate lands toward

This is in extension of a plea recently en-
tered by the same defendant that the Dis

On this point the Supreme Court Of the
United States begged to differ. and the de-
PENDANT nothing daunted. returned with
this broader claim, which sets a new STAN
dard of dispute over the real character of
the capital.
The District views the case with calmness.
1t has passed through many severe trials
and Is capable of enduring the accusation
that 1t is a myth 1t has survived the en-
terprise OF moro than one generation OF
western statesmen fired with the desire to
remove the federal capital to some nook or

All. that telegram! Never was candidate
in a closer corner than Judge Parker on
that Saturday morning. Mr. Hill and Mr..
Sheehan had done their best to keep the
Parker boom on even keel. Mr.. Bryan
and his friends had been difficult to handle.
They had been as strenuous for silver as
the Parker for gold. Silence on the
money question had been the best COM
promise the Parker men could obtain, and
they thought themselves lucky with that.
But the situation did not appear the same
in New York as in ST. Louis Silence was

Parkers supporters in New York. headed
by the Evening Post. in effect took the
ground that Messrs. Hill and Sheehan had
been defeated and that Judge Parker must
redeem the day by declaration Of his own.
He had been for years on the BENCH and
out of touch with everyday poltics-the
very sort of man to stumble in maze;
and he stumbled Threatened with the loss
of New York unless he spoke at once, and
knowing that New York essential to
success, he spoke as New York desired;
and. as Mr.. Bryan states, the silver demo-
Gratis revenged themselves at the polls.
AS matter of fact. however, Judge Par
ker was doomed. Success was not possible
for him. He was between a certain fndivid-
ual and the deep sea. He declared for
gold, and lost the silver men. Had he re-
manned silent or shuffled with the subject
in his letter of acceptance he would have
lost the gold men. Had he played for the
silver men he probably would have polled
a larger vote than he did, but would still
have been a long way from election

lecture of Judge Parker as he asserts Judge
Parker was in his jefferson dinner speech.

Ion on the money question, question which
the convention had decided to ignore. Many
