BLIZZARD SLIPS ON SCHEDULE
Yesterday One of Finest of Spring
Days

That citizen who, after reading his
morning paper yesterday, donned his
overcoat in anticipation of that guar
anteed blizzard sent out by the wealth
er bureau, wondered if it was an auto
matte extension of the April fool joke.
The blizzard was predicted all right
enough, but there was nothing doing
upon that line. A finer day never
dawned here; clear, balmy aud bright,
with foods of sunshine cheering the
timid turnip and the shrinking squash
let upon the way. No further fear of {
cold snap is now entertained, excep
possibly few breezy hours at the date
of the April full moon about weel
hence. After that the fate of the peach
let is assured and the succulent black
berry waxeth to glorious maturity.

MONSTER HUNT FOR CHILDREN

An Easter egg hunt on monster scale

Reciprocity.

Paper Read Before the Chauta,Qota Circle.
National reciprocity is now very
generally recognized as of mutual
advantage to such nations as par
ticipate in it's provisions; and, in
fact, it's beneficial results are so
apparent, in the greatly increased
imports to the United States, of
commodities which we do not, and
cannot, produce, and in the vastly
increased volume of our CONNER
cial transactions with other ma
tons, that few can be found among
business people who oppose it.
The exercise of this principle of
reciprocity is so simple that it
commends itself, not only to ma
tons, but to states, towns and vii
lagos and even individuals. To
other nations we say: To make it
an object for you to ship to us
your surplus commodities which
we are unable to produce here, we
will greatly reduce, or entirely re-
NIT all duties on such commodi-
ties; provided, however, that you
remove, also, all duties upon such
of our products which we may ship
you, and which you are unable to
produce; each, however, to retain
the regular duties upon such prod
ucts, in our commercial relations
with other nations with whom we
have not entered into reciprocal
agreements.
This principle effects us locally,
from the fact that it simply in

Doing Els Best.

You may talk of your batte-scarred heroes,
OF martyrs and all of the rest,
But here's another think just as worthy
The fellow that's doing his best.
He doesn't wear gold braid and tinsel
Nor ride on the waves highest crest
But he's always where duty demands him
This fellow that's doing his best.
No trumpet blare tells of his coming,
For fame he is never in quest:
But he's always hero, this fellow
Who is always found doing his best
And I'm sure in the day of the judgment,
When many shall fail at the test,
Therell be one who will pass without trouble
The fellow that's doing his BEST
And the gates of the heavenly city,
The beautiful home of the blest,
Will swing wide for my hero to enter
The fellow that's doing his best.

Seems strange "Eli' Dowie did

Oil prospectors in Nevada have

valuable land in one of that city's
suburbs for the mere sum of

A Chicago museum advertises
a unique freak, the same being an
armless gentleman, and whose pen
manship, which is executed by
the excellent training of his toes,
is rarely excelled by his more for
tunate brethren. This is only one
instance where feet come in handy.
The Shah of Persia is said to
have spent one million dollars on

meet the demands of the colored
brethren directly connected with

And now an jealous pro-
lessor, whose special study en-

forth and declares his intention of
making a more scientific research

Gle, it's aromatic elements alone
which makes it an almost indis-
pensable(?) household luxury,
should become source of doubt,
is almost beyond belief. Never

that further probing as regards its
sterling qualities will but result in
q futile task. Cheese it.
