were up in arms at once, sidetrack-

News of the defeat reached Mrs.
Crane at O'Clock in the morning,
and catching a 4:3O train for the
state capital. she arrived before the
opening of the morning session.
Then she proceeded to win some OF
the opposition and through their eff
forts the bill was brought up for a
second reading. Il was again on
the point of defeat when one of
these newly acquired champions
called for a five-minute recess to
permit Mrs. Crane to discuss the
bill. Mrs. Crane talked to the
point. making the purport of the
bill clear and emphasizing the great
need of It. During the rest of the
day and night she interviewed farm
ers, everywhere convincing them OF
the reasonableness of the law. The
next day when the bill was finally
read II was passed by an over
whelming majority. Which goes to
show that Mrs Crane is a woman
who does things.

APRIL.

April, the month of the dreamer;
Rich with the promise OF June,
Like youthful and confident
schemer.
Neglecting the morn for the
moon,
With sunshine like smiles that are
fleeing.
With rain that falls faster than
tears.
The buds but prepare a glad greet
ing.
When the glory of summer APP
pears.
The flowerets that blossom Sc
swectly,
The tints OF the Weakening sky,
Alas. are forgotten completely,
As hope fondly dazzles the eye
And it's only when summers boguil-
ing.
Seems faded and empty of cheer
That well value the tears and the
smiling
OF April, the youth OF the year.

A beautiful Charity.
IL is time for the Needlework
Guild for the Home Of the Friend
less to declare its spring dividends.
The churches are the stockholders
in the organization by right of
their individual members who are
pledged TO contribute two articles a
year. one in the spring and one in
the autumn to the Home. II is not
case of the stockholders getting
the dividends. you see. but the
stockholders paying out the divi-
dends to others more needy which is
not practical business, perhaps. but
1t is Christianity. These dividends
may be an article of clothing. dry
goods. or housefurnishings that can
be used at the Home. The articles
are to be sent by the members OF
each church to the chairman OF that
church, who will see that they reach
the Home in good shape.
The guild was organized last
autumn and the first contributions
were on a generous scale for the
limited time in which they we're
solicited. The chairmen desire
that the spring contributions be
sent in by April 2S. and have made
the request through their ministers
from the pulpits several weeks ago.
Human nature is prone to put off
though; and too. lest we forget
the chairmen desire a reminder from
the papers that the day is near at
hand.
