gan to look more like her old self, and
Charlie took his joy out in prolonged and
not very musical yells.
Easter dawned bright and fair. Nora
and Charlie accompanied their parents to
the beautiful early service In the old
church, and Nora felt, as she listened to
the joyous music, and noticed ,he fra
grancy of the gorgeous flowers, that she
was far happier in her old sailor hat than
IL her thoughts had been distracted by a
new one, when poor Lily was so Ill.
But perhaps some would like to know
that in spite of Nora's noble gift she did
not have to wear her old hat again to
the later service in the church, for her
mother had provided pretty, simple
summer one, far more suitable for a little
girl than the brilliant one she and Edyth
had planned through the last school term.
Although Nora and her family did not tell
of the gift, 1t leaked out through Edyth
and Miss May, who were overjoyed at
Nora's generosity. 1t had good effect,
too, for other Easter offerings followed,
and SO much was collected that Lily, her
mother and little sister were soon settled
comfortably at sanitarium, from where
grateful letters came often, telling of
Lily's improvement and gradual recovery,
thanks to the noble gifts of which Nora's
was the best and the greatest. Omaha

Brides must not laugh while mar.
riage is being performed In Kansas
Because young woman laughed while
the ceremony was being performed
Judge McCabe Of Topeka stopped in
the middle Of 1t and refused to con-
tinue until she ceased, says the Phila.
delphia North American.
The bride was Nina Brown Of New
York, who was being married to Wal
ter Jones.
Marriage Is not laughing matter"
said Judge McCabe when he stopped
the ceremony. II will not perform a
marriage ceremony which is regarded
as laughing affair. When you can
stop laughing and seem to realize just
little more that this is not side
show perhaps we will resume the GER
emony."
Then the Judge walked out of the
clerks Office, where the ceremony was
being performed. The couple were just
half married. Jones had sworn to
love, cherish and support Miss Brown,
but Miss Brown owed him no allegi-
ance Of any kind. Miss Brown seemed
to enjoy the situation OF being single
herself and still having Jones married
to her.
Jones expostulated with her for some
time, and at length informed the judge
that the ''lady isn't laughing now"
The Judge went back to his perform
ance OF the ceremony which made a

WORLD FULL OF SPITE WORK.
President of Kansas Hammer Club
Again Stirred Up.

President of q Kansas Hammer Club
Again Stirred Up.
Old Cy Knocker of Marion is In
state of high indignation. Cy is pres
ident of the Marion branch of the
Hammer and Paddock Club. The occa-
sion of his wrath was an order by the
City Council that Cy must put down
sidewalk in front of his lot on Ne
braska street. There Is no building
on Cy's lot, but there are nice resi-
dences on both sides and the property
owners In the block have all put down
cement sidewalks and insisted that 1t
wasn't right for them to be compelled
to wade through the mud along Cy's
lot
OF course, this is all very unreason-
able for these people to take this view
of 1t, as they could walk around a
block or two and avoid the mud Of
Cy's lot, but some people seem deter
mined to be unreasonable. And when
Cy was notified on Tuesday Of the ac-
ton of the council he almost lost his
religion. And heaven knows If he had
there would have been sweet time
finding it. But gracious, he was mad.
Conversed about 1t to the whole crowd
as he sat at the counter In Harker's
Said 1t was "a holdup," "a piece Of
darn spite work" and other similar
things after the manner Of his we'll
known style of clinching argument.
To tell the truth, Cy was even mad
der than he was last summer about the
weeds. The sunfiowers grew 80 tall
on the lot that the birds began to nest
in them and the spiteful neighbors
finally notified the marshal, and when
the marshal couldn't get Cy to have
the weeds cut down he hired 1t done
himself and charged 1t up to Cy.
Seems like Cy is always getting soaked.
But there is lots Of injustice and spite
work in the world and Cy really ought
to learn to take such things more phil
osophically.-Marion Record.

MORA's EASTER HATS
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.


yes, have made up my mind to have
the very prettiest hat to be seen in church
at Easter" said Nora in her most posi-
tive manner, which gained her covert ad-
miration at school, but a good deal Of
quiet snubbing In the home circle.
20! DEAR" replied Edyth, slightly en-
vious, Il wish could say the same-but
where will you get it?"
WELL" declared Nora more modestly
you see ! deserve something, for have
worn this old alpine hat all the year to
church and school and everywhere, and
now that my aunt has sent me a great
big, big check, mother says that may
spend it rs | please and so | will get
the hat and then Alice High can take
down her sails bit"
She has talked awfully about your
hat and coat, too, this season." continued
Edyth unwisely, but not without mild Joy
In giving a little take down to her over
elated schoolmate.
"Horrid, spiteful thing, just as IL 1t
was not too mean to notice my hat this
year. I'm sure times are hard with ev-
erybody and mother let me go to dancing
school and belong to the Saturday skat-
ing rink and gave me new skates, SO she
really could not afford me hat for best
and school, too, and | think alpine hats
are always in good TASTE" answered Nora,
really very much hurt and on the de
fensive.
"Never mind" consoled Edyth, "tell
me what kind of hat you will get"
Nora frightened up, as her thoughts
were again turned upon this most engross-
ing hat subject. why, you see," she
said, II shall get something to wear with
any color, and SO will have large leg
horn fat, covered with buttercups and
would you have narrow black velvet or
white ribbon, and some little yellow os-
trich tips like the flowers? Or would
you have white feathers and big watered
ribbon loops of pale pink"
But just then the cruel bell rang, and
recess was over before Edyth could quite
take in all the splendid details. How
lovely !" she cried. 20, it will be simply
ideal as sister Grace would say"
The days went on, and the great fes-
tival of the year was approaching, and

although Mrs. Loring, Noras mother
would like to have thought that her lit
tie daughter had anything else in her
mind but the talked of hat, she could see
no sign Of 1t. She often felt sorry that
she had given her child permission to
spend all the check her aunt had sent her
In such an unwise manner, but she could
not now take back her promise. So she
determined to await results, feeling sure
that in the end Nora would prove to have
more sense fhan she appeared to have.
and that she also would show kind and
generous heart, could she but overcome
her vanity.
The girls, too, at school were all more
or less thrilled, for none of them were so
rich that hat from Nine. le Tastes
could fail to inspire with awe, but many
of them were envious az well. Only
Edyth's interest never waned, indeed be-
ing with Nora SO much she felt that some
glory would be reflected upon her, and
she frequently spoke Of the hat to the
other girls, and thus posted them, when
Nora was not present, as to what Its
shape, trimming and color would be, as
Nora's mind varied considerably upon
these important points.
On Monday before Easter, lust as
school was to be dismissed, Miss May, the
favorite teacher, begged the girls atten-
tion for a few minutes.
MY dears," she said, "I want to tell
you about the sad case OF one of your
former schoolmates, Many of you re-
member little Lilly Dale, who was here a
year ago, but perhaps you have lost sight

where he hopes after awhile to take bis

Color Changed hr rire.

Since the fire the color of Baltimore
has changed. It used to be town of
red bricks, and to an observer standing
at the top Of the Washington monu-
ment It appeared distinctly ruddy.
But in the buildings erected since the
fire the old-style red bricks have been
used but little. Most facades are vel
low or gray or white or salmon pink.
The result is that the city looks lighter
and brighter. But what the smoke and
dust OF ten years will do this clay
brilliance remains to be seen.

Lincoln. Muoh-Quosea WORDS.


Perhaps the most famous address
ever made by President Lincoln & the
one that he delivered at the dedication
OF the soldiers monument on the bat
tiefield Of Gettysburg. and the words
most quoted from 1t are '.the govern
ment Of the people, by the people and
for the people" This phrase was, no
doubt, an unconscious quotation, for
the same words were used by Theodore
Parker In an address to the Anti -Slay-
cry Society, MAY IS, 1864. Nor was
the phrase original with Parker. Dan
lei Webster, In 1880, used the words,
''the peoples government. made for
the people, made by the people, and an
swerable TO the people," And even be-
fore Webster, Chief Justice Marshall
had expressed the same idea in similar
phraseology.

ODD NOTIONS OF BEAUTY.

Painting Teeth, Cramping Toes and
Breaking Noses Resorted To.
Some ladies in Japan gild their
teeth, those of the Indies paint them
red, and In Guzerat they are dyed
black. In Greenland the women color
their faces with blue and yellow. How
ever fresh the complexion of a Musco-
vite may be, she would think herself
very ugly If she was not plastered
over with paint.
The Chinese must have their feet as
diminutive as those of goat and to
render them thus their youth is passed
In tortures.
In ancient Persia an aquiline nose
was often thought worthy of the
crown, and II there was any competi-
ton between two princes the people
generally went by this criterion Of
majesty.
In some countries the mothers break
the noses Of their children, and in 9TH
ers press the head between two boards
that 1t may become fiat. The modern
Persians have strong aversion to
red hair. The Turks, on the contrary,
are warm admirers of 1t.
In China small, round eyes are liked
and the girls are continually plucking
their eyebrows that they may be thin
and long,
The Turkish women dip a gold brush
in the tincture of black drug which
they pass over their eyebrows. 1t is
too visible by day, but looks shining By
night They tinge their nails with a
rose color.
An African beauty must have small
eyes, thick lips, a large, fat nose and
a skin beautifully black.
An ornament for the nose is consid-
cred by many as absolutely essential
to beauty. The Peruvian women wear
nose ring, the thickness Of which Is
proportioned by the rank of their hus-
bands
