THE MEANING OF EAsTER

My reason why we celebrate Easter
day is: We celebrate the day that
Jesus Christ our Saviour rose from
his tomb on the third day as he told
his disciples. | think that is why we
have Easter. l think the way to have
fun on Easter is to get crowd of
boys and girls and go to some woods
or creek and spend the day. And
take your dinners and hunt wild flow
ers and fish. think the easiest way
to color Easter eggs is to lay them out
in a nest and let the Easter rabbit
color them. | am going to have a good
time this Easter and I hope every
boz and girl will spend the day happy
end joyfully.

tar. It was the lily, which represents
purity, and one of the most beautiful
Of flowers, 1t filled the church with
its fragrance and it filled the congre-
cation with meditation, because when
you look at the lily you nearly always
think also of the purity of God and
hi sholy saints and angels, as they
arc generally represented holding the
lily in their hand. The lily is my ia
vorite flower and / think most every
one likes the lily best Of all the
flowers.

50 N ATTEMPTS ID
 KILL SELF

LOS ANGELES, Cal, May s.-It is reported that Wednesday afternoon, Walter Kibbey, son of Governor Joseph H. Kibbey of Arizona, took carbolic acid with suicidal intent, and is now lying in the Clara Barton hospital in an unconscious condition. Hhis recov' cry is doubtful. It is believed that the stricken man took the poison be cause of disagreement with some young lady for whom he had formed a deep affection.
 This afternoon about 3 O clock hur- ry-up call was sent to a police station for an ambulance, and an investigation at the offices of Edwards & Kibbey in the Gros building, disclosed the fact that the junior member of the firm was writbing in agony as an effect of taking the contents of bottle of car bolic acid. The stricken man was i'm. mediately removed to the Clara Bar ton hospital, and everything possible is being done to bring about his re, covery.
 An investigation this evening brought out the fact that Kibbey had been deeply attached to young lady of this city, whose name could not be learned, and that recently they had had dis. agreement. As result of the failure of his efforts to bring about recon. ciliation, it is believed the young man took tho poison.
 Kibbey came to this city about a year and a half ago from Arizona, and has since that time been associated with A. J. Edwards in the practice of law, his profession. Hc has done well apparently.
 Late tonight close friends of the young man deny that he took poison, and say that he is merely suffering from a general breakdown due to ovef. work. Inquiry at the hospital is of no avail as the doctors will neither allow any one to see tho patient nor give out any bulletins in regard to his con- dition.
