LAST DAYS Or MARY'S LAMB

MARY had a little lamb, its
fleece was white as snow" but
that was years ago, and now Mary's
lamb has grown into dignified
sheep with certain gingery propen-
stiles to stir up trouble. Mary also
had long passed her school days,
and having failed so far to secure
a suitable helpmeet, she depended
on the gallant sheep for a guard
while she managed her farm alone.
One evening in hot July weary
HOBO trudged slowly down the
road past the renowned Mary's
home. Seeing an inviting straw
pile over in the field beyond the
house he innocently decided to
made it his home for the night.
No sooner, however, had he cross
ed the fence than the ever-wathful
sheep ospied him, and softly steal
ing between him and the road,
started in pursuit.
Safely esconced among the shell
tering branches of a tree, the
tramp, Abel Allen, by name, be-
held the sheep quietly grazing on
the sward below as though moth
ing had occurred. Only a move
among the branches, however, was
sufficient to attract his attention
and finding himself so closely
guarded. the tramp settled back
and trudged into the rOseate land
Of Morph Gus.
Just as the sun was rubbing his
eyes and peeping over the eastern
horizon the tramp was awakened
by giggle of exultation, and look
ing down he beheld a tall, angular
hatchet-faced maiden of 35 gaZ-
ing up at him with the light of con-
quest sparkling in her oblique eyes
As she saw him looking down at
her, she cried:

The Daily Short Story

behind the buggy came the pitter-
patter of hurrying feet, and look
ing behind, he beheld with dismay
the faithful and vigilant sheep,
trotting just behind and keeping a
close watch on either side of the
buggy.
Arrived in the city, without I'M
necessary delay Mary and her cap

matrimony by the mercenary squire

After the ceremony they return

ameliorating influence of a huge
dinner the weary hobo became re-
signed to his fate. Mary at once
initiated him into the duties of the
man of the house, and although he
protested strenuously, he was given
for his daily tasks few light Jobs,
such as cutting wood, milking
the cows, caring for the chickens,
doing the chores, hoeing the gar
den, blowing the corn, picking ber-
ries and fruit, building fence and a
number of other minor occupations
that only occupied his time from
AIS a. m. to 9:25 p. m, and about
which Mary assured him he had no
just right to grumble.

we'll and faithfully, and being full
of years, the renowned sheep gave

his final sleep. His grave was gdug

Easter Customs.

The customs, traditions and supersti-
lions associated with the observance OF
Easter are almost without number. How
they originated is often shrouded in mys-
terry, because in many instances the orig
inal was known in the Pagan observance
of the festival, rather than to the Chris
ton. Others, indeed, are evidently Chris
ton in origin. as is doubtless the follow
ing: The early Christians used to greet
each other on easter morning with the
saluta1ion
Christ is risen"
Christ has risen, indeed, and hath APP
peared TO Simon" was the reply. 1t Is
said that many members of the Greek
church still hail each other en- Easter
day according to this ancient formula
The giving of Easter eggs is the custom
more than any other associated with this
season, for it is the most widely known,
as we'll as the oldest of Easter customs
In early Pagan days, when the spring fes-
tival was observed generally, the egg was
symbolical of the universe, and the break
ing of eggs at the spring festival typifsd
the breaking of the bands of winter and
the release of Nature and fruit and grain
life from cold and darkness.
When the Christian church began its
observance of Easter this practice was
carried over The eggs, however, were
usually sent to the priests to be blessed
and sprinkled with holy water. Later on
the eggs were colored and decorated and
exchanged as gifts. During the last few
years artificial eggs of china, pasteboard,
candy and satin have been employed as
gifts. and many dainty surprises have
taken the place of the genuine hen fruit.

Tha Lesson.

Easter Is to Christmas as the flower
to the bud. Between the two great holy
days there stretches the whole Of the
Christ-life on the earth-the healing OF
the sick, the giving of sight to the blind,
the going about on the hills and through
the wales of Galilee, the words he spoke,
the deeds he did, from the hour that his
ministry began until he cried, at Is fin
ished," upon Calvary. The most amaz-
ing period In the story Of time, those
three years in which God tabernacled in
human flesh, is commemorated in two
small places, Bethlehem and Easter-the
one with the starbeam, the other with the
day-dawn, the one with those who wor-
SHIPPED at the cradle, the other with those
who sought the garden tomb and both
with the help of the song of the angelic
visitors who came to serve their Lord.
Easter, even more than Christmas, speaks
very tenderly to those who follow Christ
in lowly dependence and unfaltsring trust.
Its gladness strikes a deeper note. Its
light seems brought from the very inmost
radiance OF heaven. We are dull of vision,
but at Easter we catch a glimpse Of that
world of fullest brightness which is just
beyond this sphere of strife and this
school in which we are taught the lore Of
the acknowledgement q. Sangster.

FOR LICENSE ELECTION.
Supreme Court Decides Against City
Clerk HinkeI of Milwaukee.

In deciding the case of Charles ]. Fa-

kee, the Supreme Court declares that
Milwaukee is under the general license
law of the State. In effect, the decision
makes it mandatory on the city clerk to
issue notice of an election on license ques-
tions, provided that he receives petitions
containing the required number of names.
The case resulted out of refusal, based
on legal advice by Mr.. Hinkel to issue a
call for special election on the license
question in Milwaukee. In the event
that the city clerk declines to issue calls
for such elections. the court holds, man
damus proceedings can be brought to com
pei him to issue the call.

The largest bridge in the worli spans

umph of an architects skill that strung
it across six miles of water. The lake
was covered with ice twenty-five inches
thick. when the sluice gates at the Me-

water to fall eighteen inches but leaving
the ice suspended that distance above the
water At the north and south ends of
the lake, where the current of the river
is strong, the ice fell away, while for a
half mile at the center of the lake the ice
remained, making a great bridge that is
