SISTERS TRICK
But 1t All Came Out Right.

How a sister played a trick that
brought rosy health to coffee fiend is
an interesting tale:
II was coffee fiend-a trembling,
nervous, physical wreck, yet clinging
to the poison that stole away my
strength. I Knocked at Postum and
would have none of it.
Zone day my sister substituted a
cup of Postum piping hot for my morn
ing cup of coffee but did not tell me
what it was. I noticed the richness of
1t and remarked that the coffee tasted
fine but my sister did not tell me
was drinking Postum for fear might
not take any more.
"She kept the secret and kept CIV
ing me Postum instead of coffee until
I grew stronger, more tireless, got a
better color in my sallow cheeks and
clearness to my eyes, then she told
me of the health-giving, nerve.
Strengthening life-saver she had given
me in place of my morning coffee.
From that time became disciple of
Postum and no words can do justice
In telling the good this cereal drink
did me. I will not try to tell it, for
only after having used it can one be
convinced of its merits"
Ten days trial shows Postum's pow
er to rebuild what coffee has de-
stroyed. There's a Reason"

1t wanted few nights to Christmas
a festival for which the small market
town of dorchester was making ex
tensfve preparations. The narrow
streets which had been thronged with
people were now almost deserted; the
cheap-jack from London, with the
remnant of breath left him after his
evenings exertionS, was making fee.
BILE attempts to blow out his naphtha
lamp, and the last shops open were
rapidly closing for the night.
In the comfortable coffee-room OF
the old Bears Head, half a dozen
guests, principally commercial travel
ers, sat talking by the light of the
fire. The talk had drifted from trade
to politics and politics to religion
and so by easy stages to the super
natural. Three ghost stories, never
known to fail before, had fallen fiat;
there was too much noise outside
too much light within. The fourth
story was told by an old hand with
more success; the streets were quiet,
and he had turned the gas out. In the
Pickering light Of the fire, as it shone
on the glasses and danced with shad-
ows on the walls, the story proved so
enthralling that George, the waiter,
whose presence had been forgotten,
created a very disagreeable sensation
by suddenly starting up from a dark
corner and gliding silently from the
room. That's what l call a good
story" said one of the men, slipping
his hot whisky. "Of course it's an
old idea that spirits like to get into
the company of human beings. A man
told me once that he travelled down
the Great Western with a ghost and
hadn't the slightest suspicion of it
until the inspector came for tickets.
My friend said the way that ghost
tried to keep up appearances by feel
ing for it in all it's pockets and look
ing on the floor was quite touching.
Ultimately it gave it up and with a
faint groan vanished through the ven
tilator"
"That'n do, Hirst," said another
man.
Its not a subject for jesting," said
a little old gentleman who had been
an attentive listener. I've never seen
an apparition myself, but 1 know peo-
pie who have, and I consider that
they form very interesting link be-
tween us and the after-life There's
a ghost story connected with this
house, you know"
Never heard of it," said another

over death, the conquests of mankind
over the foes that beset and menaced
the highest but not the strongest of
the animals. Fatherhood was honored
more than motherhood, in some parts
Of the crude, young world, and the pa
triarchal head of the family quite
eclipsed his mate or mates In such dis
tinction as came from obedience to
the Injunction to "be fruitful and null
tiply and replenish the earth"
1t Is different now. In this stage Of
the worlds development the festival
of the renewing and reawakening Of
life is mainly feminine, notwithstand-
ing the fact that it celebrates the res
uerrection of the Son Of Man.
Women, not men, make Of Easter the
great spectacle and day of rejoicing
which it has become in nearly all parts
of the Christian world Women pre-
dominate in the churches. Women
give the Easter streets their glow Of
color and wealth of charm.
The world understands now, if it
did not long ago, that woman is the
high priestess of the temple of life.
Ske Is the mother, the nurse, the
guardian angel of childhood. She is
the teacher, the comforter, the home
builder. She takes few lives and saves
many. She risks her own life that
others may live. Woman earns her
primacy in the great festival of the
years new birth.
In the realm of the spirit, also,
woman is the priestess of life. She is
the embodiment, in a higher degree
than man, of the hope of the race, the
buoyancy and faith of the soul, the OPP
timism of trust in the reign of good
and the triumph of life over death.
She has more Of the resurrection
spirit than man.
1t is easier for woman to believe
than for man, easier for her to feel
and thrill to the appeal of the resur-
rection. She enters more intensely
than man into the very heart and
soul of the Easter story. And the
spirit that accepts most unreservedly
and gladly Casters religious and his
toric meaning is the spirit which is
best attuned to the springy glory of
the world.
The difference is clearly marked
early in life. Easter is far more to the
girl than to the boy. The former, not
the latter. 1nds that the day appeals
to her strongly before she understands
much of it's significance. The boy
interest is narrower, less certain, less
hearty. He is out of touch with much
that his sister feels in the Easter cere-
monies and the Easter customs.
From infancy to old age, therefore,
the spring festival is distinctively a
woman's festival 1t is feminine In
outward beauty and charm. 1t is femi.

lNNlE3HZE morning broke in
IKGNkG G)E sparkling sunshine
H'N: go like white burst of
nv kz%sASS spray from dark,
believing wave.
The ring of an ak cut through the
twitter of birds, and the throbbing
notes of a meadow lark's song. On
the edge of the clearing where Heath
cot had built his log cabin, a young
pine had been ripped up by the roots,
and in swift flashes, catching the light
as it rose and fell, his AK was denud-
ing the trunk of all branches except
two upper ones which on either side
extended an outstretched arm. Any
other settler would have seen in the
fallen tree only so many cords OF
frewood, but in every crude incident
of frontier life Heathcot beheld an in
ner, spiritual meaning-saw in the
pine felled by the wind Heaven-giv-
en- cross for his Easter standard when
he should preach his great revival SER
mon on the morrow.
The blood leaped in his veins as he
swung his ak with tireless energy,
and thoughts leaped to his brain in a
rising torrent of religious fervor.
Standing by the compelling form Of
the cross rough-hewn from their own
forests by the hand of their own
prophet he would speak to his people
a word of power such as he had never
spoken before-not even in his old
church back in -.
A sudden Transformation swept over
the zealot's face. The angel had fed
and left only the man, the primitive
man with fierce, elemental love, jeal-
ousy, hate. Crimson surged in his
cheeks; his eyes blazed.
The ak rose and fell, physical Ia
Dor beating into repression the stress
of his passion. But while he chopped,
cut, trimmed, while he and the helpers
summoned from the settlement bore
the cross through the woods and
planted it at the head of the plaza,
the sense of disgrace that had ruined
his career and driven him into the
wilderness still goaded his soul, for
his home life had been a house upon
the hilltop, its betrayed honor Knocked
at by every little dweller of the valley.
And on the following day when the
settlers from far and near cabins gath
cred in the plaza, and Heathcot rose
from his knees and stood beside the
great pine cross to preach his Easter
sermon, unconsciously it was the
spark of personal anger that lighted
his flaming denunciation of evil.
It was a dramatic scene. Above, q
dull, gray sky, weighed low with heavy
clouds; budding on both sides and at
the lower end of the plaza, the rude
shacks Of the Settlement high-walled
beyond by the trees of the surround

of open country stretching green to
the horizon. The cross of pine planted
at this end lifted its clear-cut strength

QUAINT BELIEFS ABOUT EGGS.
Superstitions Have Been1Handed Down
Throug Generations.

In the Tyrol the egg is used as a
love charm, while maidens secure
their lovers through the gift Of an
Easter egg colored red. This comes
from the ancient Parsees of Persia.
Among the Armenians, in place Of
natural eggs. on Easter day they use
large, imitation eggs made of white
glass. In many parts of Europe an
egg hung up in the house is regarded
as luck charm, and if no egg of the
barnyard fowl be available the egg of
an ostrich, or even the more or less
egg-shaped cocoanut, answers the pur-
pose. Among the peasantry of Ger
many, eggs laid on Maunday Thurs
day (three days before Easter) are re-
garded as preventives against thunder
and lightning, while those laid on As
cension day are held sacred as q
means of preservation against all kinds
of evil and witchcraft. The peasantry

supper in this very room, and after
he had gone to bed a couple of Bow

tried the door. 1t was stout oak, and
