BRUCE CONFESSES.

Roscoe Conkling Bruce, Assistant Su-
perintendent of Schools, has confessed
to Capt. James F. Oyster that he was
not responsible for the libelous letter
that he penned against the Editor of
The Bee, but that he wrote it at the
dictation of w. E. Chancellor, Super
intendent of Public Instruction. It Is
presumed that the investigating COM
mittee will reconyene and try Chancel-
lor, as the entire letter is a malicious
falsehood.
In view of the alleged sworn affidavit
of Bruce and his testimony before the
investigating committee can do no more
than dismiss both Bruce and Chancel-
lor. The latter stated in the presence
of Attorneys Chase, Scott and Jones
that he did not know why Bruce wrote
such a letter, and it IS now stated by
Bruce that Chancellor directed him to
write it. 1t will be seen that this en-
tire story was manufactured because
Editor Chase denounced Chancellor's
speech against the colored schools at
the Mount Pleasant Citizens Associa-
ton, which is as follows:

WHAT TO DO.

The business OF the world seems to
be outgrowing the means of conduct
ing it, in spite of the great gold pro-
duction, the increase Of note circula-
tions and the very extensive use OF
credits which obviate the use of mon
ey. This unprecedented growth is con-
fined to no particular branch OF trade
nor to any one industry or country.
Everything is expanding-and every
where. The one exception, perhaps, ia
in agriculture, and more particularly
in the production OF food stuffs; and
as natural consequence, provisions
are advancing in price at rate that il
unprecedented Albany Herald
Then it would stand to reason that
farming is the avocation in which tc
engage to make money. The high
prices for food products for man and
beast should induce more people to en-
gage in farming, and to keep others al
ready in it from ndoning it. Blu
such is not the case. The tendency il
from the farm to the cities. The cite
and towns are being built up to tn,
neglect OF the farm. Labor, therefore
is getting scarcer every year

NEW RESOLVES.

The old year is gone with its record
of good and bad. And in retrospect,
there is no more impressive thought
than the Arabian proverb: There are
-four things that come not back--the
spoken word, the sped arrow, the past
life, and the neglected opportunity"
So. with the dawn of the new year,
resolve to make clean record that will
not bring back ghosts OF wasted oppor-
tunities, but do all the good you can.
"I.et all thy aims be thy country e, thy
God g and truths" and then thou will
live to good and noble purpose.
We trust that the new year will have
for all the Journal readers health, hap-
piness. and great prosperity.

greeting Gin red ink: "Hello!" was
the inscription.
These Easter egg greetings as
the little fellow was wont to call them,
were daintily wrapped in pretty tissue
papers, tied with bits of bright rib
bons and placed in white pasteboard
boxes, to be sent on Easter eve to his
many friends, who, you may be sure,
were delighted to receive them.
A German housemaid, being very
fond of her mistress little children
and wishing to add bit of homely
cheer to their Easter tide, decided to
follow a quaint and pretty custom OBJ
served in many provinces of Germany.
Early on Easter morning-before one
of The family was astir-she stole out
on the lawn and hid little nests
(which she had secretly made during
her spare hours) under shrubs, trees,
behind vines and flower pots and in
every conceivable corner of the yard.
In these nests, fashioned of straw,
twigs and Irvine, she placed the fresh
est OF. eggs, which were to be cooked
for Easter breakfast. And the cook
ing was done out of doors in kettle
placed over rude camp fire for the
purpose.
When the family came down stairs
the German maid told them that tie

would find fresh eggs for breakfast
left there for them by the snow-white
rabbits.
Eagerly the little ones, accompanied
by their parents, who were as full OF
happy anticipation as the children, ran
into the grounds about the house hunt
ing for the eggs the rabbits had
brought. Screams of delight and joy
GUS laughter followed the finding OF
the nests, which we're quickly robbed
of their contents. Then to the steam
ing big kettle they all hurried, carry
ing eggs in. hats and aprons, and the
German maid-no less happy than the
children-superinten the boiling Of
the eggs. which were taken piping hot
to the dining-room, where the rest Of
the breakfast awaited the family. And
a most delightful Easter breakfast was
enjoyed by all, each declaring that he
or she had never before tasted such
deliciously favored eggs as had been
brought to them by the snow-white
Easter rabbits on Easter Eve night
