JEWISH FESTIVAL
BEGINS TOMORROW
Passover win be Observed for
Eight Days After
II Begins.

Beginning tomorrow evening the
Jews OF Clarksburg, together with
these OF the rest of the world, will
begin the celebration of the Festival
OF Passover. or Pesach, as 1t is known
in Hebrew. This holiday marks the
anniversary OF the exodus OF the
ancient Hebrews from Egypt under
the leadership OF Noses
The festival receives It's name,
Passover, for two reasons. The last
of the ten plaques was the Staying of
the first son OF the Egyptian families,
the houses of the Jews being passed
over by the angel of death, and in
leaving Egypt the Jews passed over
the Red Sea.
Aside from the services which are
held on the first and last days of the
festival, which continues eight days,
the principal observance lies in not
eating any leavened bread or any 9th
er food which contains leaven or
flour. Thus custom is derived from
the fact that in leaving Egypt the
jews had no time to put leaven in
the dough they took with them and
which was afterward baked in the
sun. In place OF bread. the Jews eat
matzos, or unleavened bread.
In a number of homes tomorrow
evening the Cedar service will be
held, home ceremony of a special
nature at which there are different
kinds OF food to recall the lot that
was the Jews in Egypt and various
facts about the exodus.

was from Monty.

And the Easter date

and concisely. And the Easter date
was found.
THAT figures out just right" de-
clared the plotting Billy. my scheme
is this. Every woman likes to be
married on Easter. There's somethin'
about it that appeals to the feminine
nature. So the thing we'll do is to
write this lady letter, tellin' her all
about Monty's just about ready to go
to the dogs and that serious things
will happen if she don't put in ap-
pearance and marry him. That'll gain
her sympathy. Then we'll tell her
that on Easter day we'll meet her at
Arapahoe with Monty and a minister,
and all will be merry. Do you catch
me? The whole thing will appeal to
her romantic natur, and I'll bet a hun
dred she comes. What do you say?"
Needless to say the plan appealed to
everybody present, and after many
laborious hours the following epistle
was penned and addressed to Miss
Helen Oldham. IS Aston court, Boston:
Miss Helen Oldham, IS Aston Court,
Boston:
Dear Miss: Us boys thinks Monty Lev
ering is about the best there is. But we
are a heap sorry to say that he is near

place because he cannot marry you Now
if you are stuck on him like he is on
you, we have a plan which we will now
disclose. On Easter day we is all 60

which stops there for water, we will be

depths of our hearts and we hope you

The lily was white and very fra
grant, but it was broken from it's
stem. AID so, of course, no one wanted
it. However, one hungry-eyed boy
came along. It was his custom to
pass every day by the market of the
Madeline and gaze in on the floral
luxuries that he could not afford to
buy. So today, as usual, he came, and
he saw the lily.
'How much for the li!y?" he asked.
"That thing!' said the market wom-
an, you may have that for nothing"
So the boy took it home and put it
in glass jar filled with water.
A day Or two later, to his surprise,
he saw little tendrils clinging to the
sides of the jar. He said, Il will
wait"
So he waited, and presently the lily
grew and grew, and soon a tiny bud
appeared on the stem of the DOOR.
broken thing, then another, until To-!
a beautiful cluster of wax-like buds
and blossoms greeted him one morn
ing.
He took the lilies to the church, and
laid them on the steps of the altar,
when bark! a still, small voice was
heard: "A bruised reed shall He not
break, and smoking flax shall He not
quench." /
Next morning the boy arose and
went as usual to the early mass, ac-
companied by his mother. On his
way there he told her about the lily.
DO you think they saw it on the
altar steps?" he asked. "Or perhaps
the old, half-blind sacristan stepped
on it and then threw it away"
They entered the church.
20 Salutaris Hoshia!" pealed forth
the full round tones of the organ.
while a chorus of fresh young voices
sang the song of praise.
The boy looked up, and there, close.
close to the tabernacle, surrounded by
cleaning tapers, and with clouds of
incense all around, there rested the,
branch-his branch of snowy, golden
hearted lilies. Some one had found
them on the steps of the altar, had
placed them in beautiful crystal
vase, and they now occupied the post
OF honor. The boys eyes filled with
happy tears and he clasped his hands

She's stuck on him. amt she? Sure.
Now, I've figured this here thing out.
Says I to myself, all you got to do
is to fix up little romance in this
business and you got 'em coming,
see? Now, again says to myself,
how We all goin' to get this here TO-
nance? And then it all comes to me-"
Kindly cut out this promiscous

had prepared.

mands some educidatin' before such
feeble minds as yours can grasp it,
huh? But, as I was sayin' fore this
maverick interrupted me, the only
thing to do is to get a fine romance.
Now, what I wants to know is, when
is Easter coming? Does any Of
you gang know"
Nobody knew, but Shorty finally
solved the problem by declaring that
there was an old almanac hidden some
place about his belongings.
After a frantic search that work of
literature was discovered securely hid

Mexican saddle.

You are friends of Montys and 1 know

When the reading of the letter was
finished the boys took their hats off
and three rousing cheers and a tiger
were given for the writer.

When Easter day dawned, eight
good men and true rode into Arapa-

day was radiant with sunshine, and
the prairie flowers were just begin

puffed into the station, Monty Was
under close guard to prevent lis
wandering away. The surprise, as
Billy figured it, was to be complete.
And when the train stopped at the
watering tank the passengers were
surprised to see two ferocious and
dust-stained cowboys pass down the
aisles, carefully examining every face.
But when the last coach was reached
these two gentlemen appeared and
called loudly for assistance.

declaration.

frantic Monty, when the mysterious
proceedings were explained to him.
