THE LESSON OF EASTER.

The Easter story is one of intense in
intelligent human being ever walked
the earth insensible to its influence,
whether he ever heard it in its details
or not; and no man ever faced Eternity
without its being brought home to him
in all it's force. Yet men, in Ghristen-
dom at least, are so accustomed to it
that they hardly give a thought in their
daily lives to its meaning.
Comparatively few there are who dis
believe the idea on which the story Of
Easter rests. Away back in antiquity,
when the earth was young. Job be-
Heved it when he said, Il know that
my Redeemer Iiveth.'' The heather of
today devoutly believes in an after life,
which is the meaning of Easter. The
Christian believes the Easter story in
all of its significance and beauty. It
is true there be doubters. One of
Christ's own apostles doubted it until
he had the positive, living evidence be-
fore him; but the doubter is to be pitied
rather than seorned, for the man with
out the belief in the Easter story in
his heart is robbed of the most that
Without Easter Christianity, the faith
of millions. is a falsehood and a mock
cry. Christ might have been born and
lived, and died on the cross, but with
out his resurrection it availed nothing
Without Easter the world would be
plunged into darkness regarding the fu-
ture Humanity must have something
to look forward to and Easter gives it.
Without Easter millions of human
hearts would be so burdened with the
weight of sorrow as they place their
loved ones in the tomb that madness
would necessarily follow.
But the Easter story gives light and
faith and hope. Just as the N1agdalene
stood beside the open sepulcher on that
first Easter morning and heard those
words of great import, He is risen"
and as it soothed the sorrow Of her ach-
ing heart, so the sorrows of humanity
have since been soothed by the same
truth, and the assurance of future
life has brought forth the triumphant
Easter sentiment, 20 Death, where is
thy victory? o grave, where is thy
sting?'
In the hurry and worry of life, with
it's cares and troubles. we oftimes lose
sight of the Easter story and its teach
ing. But when the last day shall come
and we look out over the River of
Death. an abiding faith in that story
will be more to US than wealth, or
honor. or fame, and we shall look for
ward only to immortality.

a LESSON FRoM -oKLAHoNlA.

Although a comparatively recently
settled country and with many of the
social and political characteristics of
the border Oklahoma territory has
taken step for civilization and prog
ress which many older states might
follow with credit to themselves. The
territorial legislature has passed laws,
mainly through the agency of Mr..
Lewis G. Niblack who introduced the
bill and worked for it's passage, for
the prevention of cruelty to animals
and requiring every teacher in Okla
homa to devote especial attention to
humane education. At least one-half
hour every week is to be given by
every public school teacher in Okla
homa to the teaching Of protection to
birds and kindness to animals.
A similar law in Kansas would tend
to the moral betterment of the people
but pending its adoption why should
not the teachers of this state take up
the work on their own account?
Shocking stories have been told of
cruelty to animals by Topeka children,
which, if they are true, call for a cor
rection of the conditions which con-
tribute to such moral perversity and
which ought to arouse the teachers of
the local schools, supposed to have the
moral and spiritual. as well as the in
tellectual development of their charges
strongly at heart, to the Importance
of education along humane lines.
The work offers a splendid oppors
tunity to any superintendent or princi-
pal with the inclination and ability 10
introduce it, and it is an object which
might commend itself also to the fed
Grafton of clubs, an organization with
sociological and philanthropic inter
ests which has just now no work OF
importance in hand. So far as known
nothing in the way of humane educa.
ton has been attempted in Topeka. OF
/ other Kansas schools.
The humane socitey of Topeka hai
done good along the line of action
| the schools could educate the risinf
generation to the duties and gracious
ness bearing on kindly consideration
/ for animals.

A Merger and What Makes 1t.

It is not alone on the city pavement
or in the shadow of the huge sky
scrapers that the gold brick industry
fiourishes and the willy promoter takes
his commission from the credulity of
the public. The rural inhabitant
yearning for excitement and expert
ence doesn't have to hunt UP the
genial buneo artist, but now has the
goods delivered at his own door. A
majority of our readers are familiar
with the nature and purposes of what
IS technically known as a merger
There are many kinds of merger. The
m1lkman who owns a herd of cows
/ and pump In good disable condition
can easily effect a merger. A would
be business man with an abundance
of money and no experience and a
practical business man with abundant
experience and no money can form a
merger. A man with a hole in the
ground, man with a. plan for print
ing mining stock certificates, a man
who knows how to promote and a man
who has money in the bank may get
together in a merger. The merger of
the lion and the lamb is as old as his
tory. There is something fascinating
about a merger-to the man on the
| inside. There must be at least two
parties to merger; there may be sew
eral. Sometimes both are equally
| benefited; as a general thing the
weaker is benefited at the expense of
the stronger. The mixing of milk and
water benefits the water more than it
does the milk. When men who own

merge their holdings in order to man
ufacture a breakfast food the sawdust
owners are willing to accept a smaller

advertising when business is good, is
not as foolish as vice versa, but foolish
enough. The wise advertiser regularly

was taken from the king of Delhi
