A DISAPPOINTING EASTER.
Cold And Cherries without But Bright
Within The Churches.

There was many a disappointed one
yesterday. The Weather Man. who
had predicted fair weather sent rain
and those with new spring hats and
Easter finery awoke to find clonds and
rain instead of sunshine and beau
tiful bright Easter.
After week of fine spring-like. al
most summer weather. this was pretty
hard lines aud the disappointment was
great. There was an exchange of
Joyous Faster greetings, however, and
within the hearts CT Christians there
was sunshine at the thought Of the
resurrection morn which means life
eternal for all believers. The churches,
as rule. were poorly attended. al
though there was special music and
beautiful floral decoations in all of
them.
At ST. Mary's all was bright and joy
ous within, despite the gloom and bad
weather without. The altar was re-
slpendant with lights and flowers and
the music was especially beautiful
and Joyous. Large congregations at
tended all the services at this church.
st. Anne's Church. the Rev. Joseph
T.. McComas, rector, was filled with
large congregation at the early SER
vice at Z o'cock. St. Cecilia's Guild
sang very sweetly and the services
were very impressive The altar was
never more beautifully decorated The
whole church was filled with fragrant
perfume of beautiful flowers There
were more communicates at 1T Anne's
yesterday than ever before at an Easter
service.
At the early service there were four
hundred commitments and at the Ill
O'Clock service one hundred and fifty
communicates. The size of congrega-
tions exceeded all records. The sing
ing of the vested choir was beautifully
rendered. All the hymns were old
and familiar, and very little new
music was sung. The congregational
singing added TO the beauty and So
lemnity of the service. The children
sang their Easter carols at the after
noon services and liberal Easter
offering was received. This congrega-
tion was also unusually large.
At the First Nj. T.. Church last night
the beautiful sacred cantata "The
Great Light, was magniicently rem
dered by the choir The congregation
was large and the services very inn
pressive.

APRIL.

4 legend i'm verse has ii that
March winds and April showers
Bring forth May flowers. p"
But according to the temperature to-
day and snow ilurries this morning il
will be somewhat of n shock to May
flowers to be heralded in such chilly
fashion. April, the fourth month of
the year. was by the Romans dedicated
TO Aphr )dite Venus. the goddess of all
budding beauties, but there is some
dificulty in tracing the origin of the
name. Some believe the root to be
Aphrodtie -AphrilIs-A Aprilis. Others
that it is derived from the festival
Fortuna Nirilis, celebrated April /.
In the French revolutionary calendar
April included most of their new sea-
son of germinial and the beginning
of Floreal. ON the ancient monuments
Aprilis appears as dancing youth
with a rattle in his hand, sybmolizing
the gay and joeund spirit of spring.

KNOW HATYOUBUY
You Can See Quality and
Quantity in the Local
Stores.
PAYS TO TRADE AT HOME
The Purchaser Must Take Mail-Order
House Goods on ,Faith-keep
the Money of the Commu-
nifty at Home.

When the consumer buys merchan-
disc he is interested in three things
quality, quantity and price. When he
goes into the store of his local mer-
chant he sees the goods that he is to
pay for displayed before him; he can
determine whether the quality is first
class, and whether the quantity is all
that is claimed. These two points
settled, he should have fair idea as
to whether the price asked is a fair
one or not.
But how Is 1t when he attempts to
buy OF the big mail order houses of the
cities? The only guide he has to the
quality and quantity they are offering
is what the catalogue says, and the
catalogue is prepared with the one OBJ
!ect in view of selling the goods.
When the consumer buys of his
local merchant and finds the goods he
has purchased were not as represent
ed he can promptly take them back
and receive his money. When he buys
OF the mail order house in the large
cities he has practically no recourse
but to take what he gets and look
pleasant at the results.
1t Is cheap goods and short weight
that Is making mail order house
profits. They can buy but little, ii
