HERE'S TO YOU CAPTAIN DENNY.

Oh, Captain Denny and your mate
With all your gallant crew;
The truth I tell
When | wish you well,
For you brought my dinghy through.
The Alden Besse is a bark
And staunch old bark is she,
For she was built
With a save-ballast lit
To carry the heather Chinee.
But now she sails on Southern seas
To pack Los Angeles freight,
And she may take more
From shore to shore,
But | guess we II have to wait.
But, whatever you pack in your old
black box
Across the raging main,
You washed out my boat
While you were afoat,
And kept her free from stain.
So, here s to you, my captain bold,
And your jolly, salt-worn mate;
Come, open your face
And splice the main brace
May that be your saddest fate.

Interesting Easter Items.

Among the Gregorian Armenians the
periodical blessing of the house"
takes place at Easter. This consists
of the repetition Of a prayer by the
priest, accompanied by the burning of
incense and the sprinkling with holy
water in the ~"sala," or central room of
the house.
On Easter eve in the Albanian high
lands the young men assemble with
lighted torches, which they wave
about as they walk in procession
through the village. Arriving at the
nearest stream, they throw them in,
crying, "Kore va" 20 maiden), 1--WE
throw thee into the water with these
torches; so mayest thou never re
turn" referring evidently to the malev.
client spirits. When the priest comes
to bless the house on Easter day the
women throw hot embers after him as
he leaves In order that he may take
away all danger from fire.

AT this astonishing declaration the
handsome young ruler of Savoy bowed
low before the lovely widow and said,
MADAME, l crave the honor of being
your partner in the Easter egg con-
test of Bourg."
A great hush fell on the gay and
splendid company. Not a man or wo-
man among them all was so stupid
as not to realize that Philibert's words
meant the proffer of his heart and
hand. For a moment the fair Mar
garet hesitated, and her cheeks flushed
c~harmingly. Then she accepted her
bold young wooer's arm and permitted
him to lead her to the field.
SIT is but a harmless diversion" she
protested laughingly. 81 shall be GER

dame, but do not break my heart" he
returned presumptuously.
She would not reassure him by any
spoken word, All. amid the plaudits of
the o%nlookers, tney entered on the trial.
The Princess Margaret's doleful pre-
diction was not fulfilled. At the end
of the dance it was announced public
ly that not a single egg had been bro
ken.
1--WE have won, madame" said Phil
bert rapturously. "The Easter erg
dance of Bourg has determined our
fate. There is no appeal from its dc
cision."
81 suppose you are right" she ad-
mitted softly. zone cannot do violence
to the traditions of Bourg."
For four happy years this roy; /
couple lived the ideal welded life, and
then Margaret was again a widow.
Thus she remained to the close of her
long life. She was so capable and so
highly esteemed that she was made
regent Of Holland. She was also a
poet of no mean distinction and left
enough interesting letters to make two
big volumes.

growth, but all promising a luxuriant
yield by the forthcoming Easter Sun
day.
Lucy Grant went straight home from
the tea party, and, eyading the curious
questions of the bedridden aunt with
whom she lived, she made her way to
the cellar and from a dim corner
brought forth five fowerpots.
These pots contained FIVE Easter lily
bulbs which Lucy had been surrep-
titiously forcing for the decoration of
Mr.. Cranes reading desk. Planted
and watered In secrecy, she had not
known how she was to attain the
pleasure of having her plants grace the
pulpit on Easter Sunday. Now all was
clear. As a member of the flower COM
mittee she would come forward at the
last minute with her offering-Easter
lilies were rare in Montbank village.
The same thought had taken root In
the minds of Harriet Ames and Emily
Burton.
Secretly the three members of the
committee each tended a few care
fully nurtured pots of Easter lilies for
the admired minister's desk.
During the long winter days that fol-
lowed each one dreamed of the tri-
umph of producing great pots of pure
white blooms at the last moment.
The friendship which bound the
three %spinsters together before the ad-
vent of the good looking bachelor min
lister became more strained as each day
passed by until open rupture was i'm
minent.
Happily Easter sped on apace, and
all too soon came the Saturday before
the sacred day, to the real meaning of
which neither of the three women had
given much thought.
Not once after that tea party at Har-
riet Ames' house was the subject of
the minister's desk mentioned. They
avoided it as by tacit agreement.
The day before Easter Sunday the
flower committee worked feverishly In

the day was at its busiest a bold blast
of a hunters horn came from the edge
OF the forest. 1t was followed speed
lily by the appearance of a company of
mounted gallants in such splendid at
tire that the peasants stopped In the
dance to gaze open mouthed at the ap-
partition. The Princess Margaret and
her party were almost equally amazed
to behold such splendor issuing from
the forest. At the head of the troop,
on a spirited white charger, rode a
young man whose rich dress and
knightly bearing proclaimed him to be
q person of great consequence.
Without further preliminary he rode
directly to the side of the chatelaine of
Bourg, sprang from his horse, DOTTED
his plumed hat and, bending a grace
full knee, requested her hospitality for
himself and his men.
"Sir, l am honored in the asking"
she responded graciously, for she knew
that her would be guest was Philibert
the Handsome, duke of Savoy.
The duke and his gentlemen were
presented to the princess, and the dance
was resumed. From the first it was
apparent to the entire company that
the young man whose beauty was the
theme of every court in Europe had

ture happiness. Three trials were
accorded to each couple, and the on
lockers made themselves exceedingly
merry over the affair, but the principals
in the contest wore anxious and uncer-
tain -countenances. 1t was the couple
that could glide over the eggs and
pass among them in all the varied
movements of the dance without crack
eng a single one that might marry in
spite of the opposition of the parents.
It was one of the most highly cherish
