The Average Man.

There lay upon the pavement
a bulgins pocketbook
He side-stepped when he saw 1t.
With wise and crafty look.
Upon the phone they asked him
To call up "Twenty.three."
He hung up the receiver .
And smiled in cunning glee.
All efforts TO entrap him
He met with manner cool
And pardonably boasted
He was no April focl
But, like the rest of mankind,
When all was said and done,
He showed himself quite plainl.

Legend Of the Easter Egg.
Trinity bells, with their hollow lungs,
And their vibrant lips and their bra
zen tongues,
over the roofs the city pour
Their Easter music with joyous roar
Till the soaring notes to the sun are
rolled.
As he swings along in the path Of
gold.
Dearest Papa" says my boy to me,
AS he merrily climbs On his mothers
knee,
why are these eggs that you see
me hold
Colored SO finely with blue and gold?
And what is the wonderful bird that
lays
Such beautiful eggs on Easter day."
You have heard, my boy, of the Man
who died.
Crowned with keen thorns and cruel
fled;
And how Joseph the wealthy-whom
God reward
Cared for the corpse of the martyred
Lord,
And piously tombed II within the rock
And closed the gate with a mighty
block.
How close by the tomb fair tree
grew,
With pendulous leaves and blossoms
of blue.
And deep in the green trees shadowy
breast
A beautiful singing-bird sat on her
nest,
Which was bordered with MOSES like
Malachite,
And held four eggs of ivory white.
Now, when the bird from her dim
recess
Behold the Lord in his burial dress,
And looked on the heavenly face so
pale.
And the dear feet pierced with the
cruel nail.
Her heart near broke with sudden
pang,
And out of the depths of her sorrow
she sang.
"All night long till the moon was up
She sat and sang in her moss-wrea
A song of sorrow as wild AMI shrill
As the homeless wind when 1t roams
the HILL
So full of fears, so loud and long,
That the grief of the world seemed
turned to song.
But soon there came through the
weeping night
A glmmering angel clothed in white;
And he rolled the stone from the
tomb away,
where the Lord Of earth and heavens
lay;
And Christ arose In the cavern's
gloom.
And in living lustre came from the
tomb.
Now the bird that sang in the heart
OF the tree,
Beheld this celestial mystery;
And it's heart was filled with sweet
delight,
And 1t poured song on the throb
bing night.
Notes climbed on notes, till higher,
higher,
They shot to heavens like spears OF
fire.
when teh glittering, white roped an
gel heard
The sorrowing song of the grieving
bird.
And heard the following chant Of
mirth
That hailed Christ risen again on
earth,
He said: Sweet bird. be forever
blest-
Thyself, thy eggs, and thy moss
wreathed nest
"And ever, my child, since that bless
ed night,
When death bowed down the Lord

The eggs of that sweet bird changed
their hue,
And burn with red and gold, and
blue;
Reminding mankind, in their simple
way.
OF the holy marvel Of Easter Day.

The story OF eye witnesses to the |
murder Is To the effect that Mrs
Hines entered the restaurant alone
while the count was sitting at a table
with some friends She called the
count to her table directly she had
seated herself, and the nobleman sat
down with his back to the entrance.
The two had been conversing only
few moments when the captain en-.
tered the restaurant Without a word
he approached the count and placing
a revolver to his head pulled the
trigger Podhorski fell forward with
his head on the table, and the woman
arose screaming and made toward her
husband, then fell back into her
cha!r In a fainting condition.
IN moment the place was in an
uproar and then was as quiet as the
grave all eyes on the man who had
committed the desperate act. Hines
was perhaps the coolest in the room.
With his revolver still in his hand
he faced those present and offered
10 surrender himself He said:
his man seduced my wife and
ruined my life, and have killed
him.
He submitted TO arrest, and his
wife sobbing conyulsively, accom-
panied him TO the jail Later on he
said that he had come all the way
from Nome to kill Podhorski
