Monsieur lie Deputy sat in an arm
chair at the door of his cottage in St.
Louis. With eyes fixed upon the gar
den he yet saw nothing of the beauty
Of the little place, ablOom with the
reckless prodigality Of late summer.
There was no grass and few trees.
Instead, he had chosen to make of his
garden spot a maze of beds, fantastic
in design, where, in riotOus %profusion,
everything blossomed as though in
haste to catch all the life Of sun ana
breeze before the blasting breath Oh
autumn. There was a carpet Of petals
on the ground, and the dust and down
from falling blossoms danced to death
in long shafts of sunshine.
Monsieur lie Deputy noticed nothing
of this. His thoughts were of the past.
rowing restlessly from camp to camp,
changing as he had changed with uni
form and flag. But to each true; tie
varied service had left on his con-
science no scar, only a broad-minded
charity for every race and creed. Rem
i%niscence, therefore, brought no sting,
and he pulled contentedly and alb
stractedly away, watching the rings of
smoke drift into various shapes With
the winds fancy.
A locusts note sounding its dreary
prophecy startled him. For this old
soldier, who had faced without finch
ing, sword and bullets hail, shrank
each year from autumn's carnage.
Summer, with it's warmth and light,
was the prototype Of life and living;
under its beams he was young, revivi-
fed. With the chill of autumn he was
old-seemed to lose many years with
the coming OF each winter. And each
year the warning sounds OF falling leaf
and loeust's cry were to him as the
passing bell to hope and prime.
Thoughts like these saddened his
eyes, made grave the corners Of his
mouth, and he sighed, restlessly knock
ing ashes from a pipe against the hol-
low of his hand-that hand yellow, as
with the rust Of a sword. He was
reused by voices at the gate, and a
hand slipped the latch. The wicket
opened to admit a man and woman,
who sauntered together up the path.
The deputy's face was aglow as,
starting from his chair, he met the
visitors half way.
"You are very welcome, Monsieur
W~inslow-and this lady"
rs my wife, your excellency."
Your wife? Tres bein, | congratu-
late you, Monsieur" and with ~soldierly
courtesy the old nan raised Lavenders
hand to his lips.
Then he brought chairs for his
guests, asking a multitude Of ques-
tions-chiehy Of how Winslow had
spent his time since they last met,
adding, with q smile at Lavender, 1T

cycle. Then the baby haTes, unlike
rabbits, are born with their eyes open,
and the moon is ~"open-eyed watcher
of the night" The open-eyed hare
the lunar animal and the lunar fes-
tival, you see, for the time of Easter
depends upon the moon-became as
ISOLATED with the opening Of the new
year at Easter, and hence, in the
popular mind, with the paschal egg,
token to signify the opening of the
year.
In Germany, the Easter hare rivals
st. Nicholas in popularity for every
little Karl and Gretchen knows, If a
child is good and obedient, a white
hare will steal-down a moonbeam no
doubt-into the sleeping house, on
Easter even, and lay it's beautifully
colored eggs in all sorts of odd places.
When the myth reached America,
the hare was transformed into the
better-known rabbit; the change due,
perhaps, as a writer naively suggests,
to the fact that confectioners are not
experts in natural history"
There are some superstit.ons con-
nected with Easter that it would be
wise for the reader to treasure in his
mind, so important are they in their
bearing upin his health and happi.
ness.
If the wind is in the east on Easter
morning, draw water and wash in it,
to avoid the Ill effects of an east wind
throughout the year. The efficacy of
We Easter water cure is so well
known in Germany that the Mecklen-
berg maid servants spread out linen
clothes in the yard, the evening be-
fore, and Easter morning wash them
| selves with dew, rain or snow fallen
in the linen, while in ~Sachsenburg
the peasants ride their horses into
the water to ward off sickness from
the poor beasts.

brown eyes like a ripple on dark wa
tiers. "Owatoga has only to tell that
bis master and the white maids broth
er were not the only men there. Owa-
toga was there, too" and with a
glance full Of meaning-cruel, revenge
full, but chastened finally by a smile at
Lavender, the Indian departed. None
sought to detain him, nor question
him further, as he strobe away, a very
tower of dignity and pride.
Left with the two men, Lavender
stood blushing and eager, looking from
one to the other. She stammered a lit
tie breathless apology:
Excuse our sudden appearance I'M
announced, but II saw you two go off
together, and, installing your errand,
I thought it might be just as well il l
and Owatoga came too"
The little purl of embarrassed laugh
ter, the bashful grace with which she
twisted her bonnet strings-her very
presence, so full of girlish charm and
lightness. eased the strain of the stu
alton and relaxed the mems tense
nerves.
Gerald said, laughing: You could
not trust your hot-headed brother,
could you? Well, this time your guess
was wrong. l invited Mr.. Winslow to
this place-not to fight him, put to ask
his pardon for many things. He has
granted much-alk"
with a glad heart" Winslow added
but he was not looking at Gerald.
Lavender met his eyes, and her own
slowly dropped with a demure and side
long glance.
Then, with a sudden quick gesture,
she took the hand of each, and placing
them together between her own palms,
said: "You are friends now, friends
and brothers,"

The Triumph Of
Life Over Death
BY Rev. Henry Clinton Hay.

@HE resurrection means that
Al his earthly body. That the
man lives on after the death Of
earthly body dies is a matter of
universal observation and experience;
but that the man himself ceases on
that account to love and think, plan
and execute, in the world Of love and
wisdom and spiritual expression, is
an inference without the slightest
warrant from observation of expert
ence.
Tae most that can be said is that
he no longer appears to the senses OF
earthly bodies when his own earthly
body is lost as a means OF earthly ex.
preston. But that there Is an in
dwelling love-and-thought world, con.
stantly animating, shaping and EN-.
ploying matter and giving to It its
values, is manifest in every human
experience. That man comes forth
from this inner world. not only in the
beginning of his existence, but in
every act Of his intellect, will and
body, we know.
II Is therefore reasonable to con,
clude that he continues to exist in II

tall grass by mothers and pet a%unties,
and eagerly searched for By all the
excited youngsters of the family. In
the Bristol museum, there is a Ger
man print representing three hens up
holding a basket with three eggs
bearing the emblems Faith, Hope and
Charity, with this legend in German:
"All good things are three.
Therefore l present you three Easter
eggs,
Faith and Hope, together with Char
ity.
Never lose from the heart.
Faith to the church; Hope IN God
And love Him to thy death"
In Russia, Easter eggs are ex-
changed even by the dear dignifed
grown-ups. Easter morning, a man
goes to his friends house and greets
him with: Jesus Christ is risen"
The friend answers: Yes, He is
risen indeed" Then they kiss each
other on both cheeks, exchange eggs,
and drink brandy.
Of course, everyone knows that the
Easter sun, the world over, dances in
the heavens if sleepy.heads will only
get up early enough to see it. In some
places in ireland, there is a great
clapping of hands at midnight, Easter
even, happy laughter; and the cry:
out with Lent" Then all is mer-
riment for a little while, until the
members of the tired household go
to bed-only to rise at four o'&1.G
that they may see the III dance. In
Scotland, the sun whirls ike a wind
mill and then gives three leaps.
One Of the prettiest traditions is
that of the Easter hare. The hare has
long been the symbol of the moon.

nature envious; of airy, fairy hats,
trimmed in stolen bits of rainbow; Of
irresistible sugar eggs, chocolate rab-
bits and yellow-down c~hickabiddies.
In the fields, an opening of leaf and
blossom and a meadow lark's song.
In the churches, an opening of a tomb
and an angel of life in place of the
dead. The opening of human hearts
in love toward God, man, and the lit
tie sparrow; the opening of hands
outstretched to the unfortunate and
the SHINING. 1t Is Eastertide.
While the resurrection from the
dead is the pivotal belief upon which
the whole Christian faith turns, the
word Easter is of pagan origin, Eastre
being the Saxon name of an old Teu-
tonic goddess who was the persona
fication of morning and spring. Like
wise, in many of our Easter observ-
ances Christianity has laid it's i'm
press upon old pagan myths and Gus
toms-the joy in the new spring life
that leaped so high a fame in the
bonfires upon the hillsides now stead
lily cleaning in altar taper, and spring
flowers once faily gathered for out
door festival song and dance now
reverently crowding the churches.
Our own earliest r~ecollections of
Easter are flashing memories of those
irst Easter eggs-red, yellow and
glorious royal purple-that rolled out
Of ~fairyland into everyday life to
mystify our wondering eyes with their
strange beauty. And by a happy coin
cidence, the egg is the oldest of the
symbols connected with Easter. In
fact, If 1t were an aspirant for mem
bership in some g%lass-case society Of
antique superstitions it could trace
its geneaology back to ancient Persia
and Egypt. The Persians, looking
upon their new year-which comes
on the 18th of March--as the renewal
Of all things, celebrated the festival
by exchanging colored eggs. The
Egyptians considered an egg a sacred
emblem of the renovation Of mankind
after the Deluge. From them, the
Jews adopted it for a sign and SYM
boil, it now becoming the triumphant
type Of their departure from Egypt
and intimately associated with the
feast of the Passover, eggs always
being on the table with the paschal
lamb. The Christians, loving the dear
old family traditions, naturally gave
the egg a place of honor in the cele-
bration Of the paschal lamb, the
Easter egg being a most fit emblem
of the Resurrection, "the rising up
out the grave, in the same manner as
the chick, entombed, as it were, in
the egg, Is in due time brought to
life"
The pretty custom OF hunting for
Easter eggs originated in, Germany,
where the eggs were hidden in the

to please the children. But the legend
Of the Easter rabbit is one of the old
est in mythology, and is mentioned in
the early folklore Of South Germany.
Originally, it appears, the rabbit was
a bird, which the ancient Teutonic
goddess Ostara-goddess OF the east
or d spring-transformed into a
quadruped. For this reason the rab.

host, she added: my mother has long

that she might go; he is taking us

Returning to the hotel late in the
evening, Winslow locked the door of
the little dark, wainscoted room.

He produced the crushed, soiled

THE N. & ST. L. EXTENSION.
Popular Excursions to be Run Thru in
the Near Future.

Arrangements are already being
made by Mr.. A. B. Cults, G. P. &
I. A. of the Minneapolis & St. Louis
railroad for popular excursions at a
very cheap rate from this place out
into the new country, which the
road is opening up in South Dakota.
1t will be an excellent opportun-
ity for those who are interested in
this marvellous young state to see
what is being done there with their
own eyes. During the past few
years many fortunate investments
have been made in South Dakota
land which in every case hrve Melted
a profit for the investor.
The road is opening up country
which is still new, where lands are
cheap and described as good as any
thing in Illinois, Minnesota or Iowa.
During the past season the M. & St.
l.. has been engaged in building $50
miles of road from Watertown west
to the Missouri river with branch
line from Condo thru Aberdeen to
Mcpherson county. This line taps a
portion of the state which has re-
manned behind the procession in the
development of South Dakota only
because of the absence of railroad
facilities. The road will be COM
pleted in the spring, its completion
marking the opening of the new
empire .
The line runs from Watertown
northwest thru Codington county,
thence thru the northern portions of
Clark and Sphinx counties, thru
Condo, Mellette and Worthwhile, then
on thru the northern portion of
Faux county, crossing the northwest
corner of Potter county and follow
ing the Swan River Basin in Wal
worth county diagonally, the term
mus being Leola, the county seat Of
Mcpherson county. A large portion
of this territory is reasonably we'll
settled. The new and undeveloped
country begins in the vicinity of
Chelsea in Faulk county, where
lands may be obtained for SIP and
SIS and upward. The same condi-
tons prevail in Walworth county.
Mcpherson county is another great
section Of the state which has re-
NAMED undeveloped because of the
absence of railroad and shipping
facilities. There is no better land in

any part of South Dakota than can
be found in Mcpherson county, and
all of the new section is farmers
and stockman's paradise.
The line crosses the famous Jim
River Valley, known for its fertility
turnout the United States and also
traverses the great artesian well
basin of South Dakota. The in
genuity of man has made it possible
to tap this great underground sea
which flows mysteriously from the
Rocky mountains. In addition to
furnishing water for stock, artificial
lakes have been formed which add
variety to the surface of the coun-
try and keep the soil moist by
percolation. More important than
this the moisture taken up from
these lakes is returned in the form
of rain, and the fear of drouth has
been removed from South Dakota
forever.

stuyvesant Fish on Roosevelt

What is believed to be premeditated attack on President Roosevelt and the federal administration generally was made this evening by Stuyvesant Fish, George J. Gould s new partner in the Missouri Pacific. Mir. Fish came here to deliver an address before the students of finance in the University of Penn "Faith Is the Basis of Finance. v There was nothing startling in the address of Fish. but afterward he made it known that he would say few things to news paper men. He began by asserting that the people need not regard conditions as wrong because of an occasional furry h the stock market, but he asserted conditions would be made grievously wrong by an unsound point of view in the White House.
 "What is your estimate of President Roosevelt!' was asked.
 "What is my estimate of Theodore Roosevelt'' he repeated. "Well, have known him since he was toddler so hlRn.
 He bent his six feet three to indicate the height of a two-year-old child.
 Boy and man, he continued, "The- odore Roosevelt has been unsteady, but always well meaning. v
 Has his administration met with your approval9"
 !" Not wholly. He has in too marked a degree the characteristics of all the Roosevelts, The fable of Jupiter and the packs illustrates what mean. You will remember that the god divided the burdens of too important mortal. In front of the man he suspended basket in which he placed the faults of all other men. In knapsack upon the man s shoulders he placed the man s own faults. So it is with the presi-
