Hail. twenty believed the sun, moon and

such thin texture that one could easily

much floor sweeping was necessary in

away, or is blown, or walks, or God pulls
it higher up out of sight, taking it up into
heaven. according to some, putting 1t to

conceptions. and Is made directly respon-

see them sometimes, and they have seen
him enter the gate. He makes lamps

angels work for him. He looks like a
priest or a teacher or papa, and the
children like to look at him; few would

related by the exceptionally we'll in

The story runs that at Easter time in
1898. when there were war clouds men
acing almost every nation OF the world
Germany and France had just equipped
their armies, at great expense, with new
and improved artillery, and 1t was in
cumbent upon Austria and Russia, as
their allies. to do the same. But Gen.
Kuroppatkin, the Russian minister OF
war, presented TO the Emperor re-
monstrance against going to so great an
expense. and a suggestion that II Aus
