kodak pictures of himself, roughly
tearing out the head and shoulders to
give a ragged, broken effect 10 the

were carefully pasted on the shell the
effect was that of a child coming forth
from the shell. the torn edges of the
picture gave the impression of the
egg shell being roughly broken away
by the laughing boy in the picture,
who was coming forth. Beneath the

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 a 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 a kettle
placed over a rude camp fire for the
purpose.
When the family came down stairs
the German maid told them that the
Easter rabbits had been in the grounds
the previous night and that il the chill
dren would hunt about the yard they
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 were quickly robbed
of their contents. Then to the steam

German maid-no less happy than the
children-superinten the boiling of
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

deliciously favored eggs as had been
brought to them by the snow.white

Warner VIII Not Support Bill.


Gov. Warner will not support the
railroad commission bill in its pres
ent shape and the railroad committee
will allow It TO rest until the two
cent fare bill Is disposed of. There is
a Joker in the commission bill, the
evident purpose of which is TO take
the rate question out of the hands OF
the legislature. The very last clause
In the bill which amends section ga
OF the compiled laws of 1897 gives

doubtful whether under the constitu-
ton the legislature can delegate the
power to fix rates, and If this were
done it would give the railroads OPP
portunity to test that question in the
courts and tie up the fare PROPOSE

tactics and believe that it is the duty

sary delay"
Attorney Hal Smith has redrafted
the proposed railroad commission bill,
leaving it to be fought out in the leg
islature. as It was found impossible
to get the steam and electric railway
officials to agree on all the points. 1t
is not likely that the measure will be
discussed until the two-cent fare prop
osition is disposed OF, and this will
take several weeks. Great doubt is
expressed that the bill will be passed,
but in the event that it does Smith
will be urged as a candidate for
place on the commission. Railroad
Commissioner Glasgow will go over
the bill and make such changes as he
desires before II is introduced. The
matter of interchanging freight be-
tween steam and electric lines is pro
vided for in the bill.
