the car once more, they resumed their

Il was sure something portentous

enthusiastically, as they bowled along

"But-does it portend anything"
ITO me it does 1t holds beautiful

the young man became very serious.
Easter is strangely mixed up with
the destinies of the Valdeans. My
father met my mother for the first
time on Easter day. My grandfather
and grandmother first knew of each
others existence on an Easter morn
ing and they were married the same
evening. 1t was the tricksy spirit of
that festival that brought my great
grandparents together nearly hun

Across tire world his message rings
And, hearing it. men cease a while
To madly strive for worldly things
Or cling to longings that are vile,
And having wrought for good or i'll.
Pay 10 ing tribute to him still.
Wherever slender steeples rise,
Wherever mellow chimes are heard
The love he taught still sanctifies,
The nobler passions still are stirred.
By every friendly look and thought
We spread the message that he brought
If by tomorrow men forget
For him the anthems rise to-day;
The cross is sacred, for him, yet,
And still it's shadow marks the way.

Of Calvary. Then it was that the

so plaintive that never has it re-

deep blue flowers and red buds, called
''Mary's Tears" for in the beginning
this grew on Calvary-its flower the
blue of the Mother Marys eyes, the
buds red as her eyehds swollen from

And in the old English garden, too,

new blossoms every Friday as though

Wonderful Passion Flower.
In the passion flower the reverent
Imagination has discovered not a
cross alone, but also the pillar Of
scourging, the nails, the crown of
thorns, and even spots to mark the
five wounds of the crucifed body.
The Spaniard will tell you that the
aspen trembles because that was the
wood of the cross. However this may
be. there is a delightful old legend
concerning the tree out of which the
cross was made.
Aged Adam, weary of toll and sin
and eager for death, sent to the angel
guarding the Tree of Life to beg a
boon. The messenger brought back
the welcome promise that Adam should
die in three days, and the added gift
of three small seeds which were mys-
teriously to be placed under the dead
mans tongue before burial.
From these seeds, the quaint nara
tive continues, sprang three saplings
that later united, three in one, sym

ulous tree Moses and David each
wrought many wonders. But King
Solomon, his whole heart set upon the
building of the temple, had the tree
cut down, intending it for a magnif-

would, however, nowhere would the
beam fit, and. cast aside, it was later
used as bridge across a nearby
stream. When the queen of Sheba
made her notable visit she refused to

Wood of the Cross.
AS some claim the aspen was the
wood of the cross, others select the
weeping willow for the tree upon
which Judas hanged himself.
There is an old legend as sinister
as the fatalistic Dedipus myth that
claims that before the birth of Judas
his mother dreamed that her child
would murder his father and betray
his God for money. To prevent this
tragedy, the babe was put in a chest
and cast upon the sea, but was rescued
and adopted by king.
According to tradition, Pontius P.

indignant was the emperor over the
governors actions while in Jerusa-

humiliation too great for so weak a

the restless, tormented ghost of him

New York, Sept. 22.-Dr. Frederick
A. Cook, seeking rest and seclusion
with his family after the botsterous
welcome of yesterday, denied himself
to interviewers today and remained
in his suite at the Waldorf Astoria
until late this evening when he sub
mitted cheerfu1ly to one Of the Sc
verest cross examinations since he
announced his discovery of the North
Pole.
The ordeal of the interview, which
was conducted by forty newspaper
representatives, including several
foreign newspapers, proved at least
that he was not afraid to meet the
public. Incidentally the city Of New
York officially recognized his achiev-
ment today when the board of alder
men passed resolutions, commemora-
ting his discovery and providing for
a public welcome al the city hall. The
date of the reception will be an
nounced later.
The material points of DR.. Cooks
answers today did not differ in any
great degree from his original re-
citai. Some slight details were
cleared up however, which throw
fight on the way in which the polar
dash was affected. AS questions
asked were put by laymen they did
not go deeply into the, scientific as
pect of the expedition. But DR.. Cook
was ready to answer anything per-
tinent to the issues.

Pueblo, Colo, Sept. 22.-President
Taft tonight is crossing the continen-
tai divide and tomorrow morning will
find himself west of the Rocky noun
tains. All day the president has trav-
eled with a panorama of white capp-
ed peaks of the Rockies in view and
at one time the train ran for a mile
or more through fields of snow.
Tonight at Tennessee Pass, the
climb to the top of the divide car
ries the president to an altitude Of
1920 feet.
For the first time the president
travelled through Grand Canyon of
Arkansas, where at one place, half
a mile deep the canyon is SO narrow
that there is not room for the track
and river and the former has to be
carried over the rushing waters by
means of hanging bridge, suspend
ed by cables EMBEDDED in the Rocky

ride through the canyon was made

interview was reached when DIR. Cook
was asked if he would object to show
ing his diary. He Immediately con-
sented and after retiring to his room
returned with a small octave note
book which he showed freely to all.
1t was q thin book containing 176
pages, each of which was filed with
fifty or sixty lines of penciled writing
in most minute characters. -,
The book, he said contained con-
siderably more than 100000 words,
while he has besides other books en-
bracing his observations and other
data. He did not show them, how
ever, today.
Not once did Cook refuse to reply
to questions except when the name
of Peary was broached. Even then
he said he always had and did now
consider Peary as his friend, but con-
troversial subjects in connection
with his rival he avoided entirely,
saying that they could wait.
When requested to say what had
occurred at his meeting with Harry
Whitney, the New Haven sportsman,
he said he preferred to let Whitney
tell his own story as Whitney was
quite unbiased. His reason in i'm
posing secrecy on Whitney, on
Pritchard, Peary's cabin boy, and on
the Eskimos were prompted by his
desire to be the first to tell the world
his discovery. He had done the
work he said and was entitled to re-
late how it had been carried out.

of the victims were burned with their
home at Hurley, Buchanan county,

Meadows, his wife and their three
children we're the victims.
(. Meadows body, badly mutilated,
was found lying in the yard of his de-
stroyed home, the funeral pyre Of his
loved ones. Two bullet holes through
the body and a CHASTITY wound in the
neck, which almost severed the head
from the body gave the discovers
their first evidence of the extent OF
the, tragedy. Assearch Of the ruins
of the house disclosed sickening
spectacle. The blackened masses of
half burned flesh and charred bones
of the two women and three chill
sdren were found beneath the debris,

der committed before the house was
destroyed BY fire. The elder womans
skull was upturned some distance
