An Easter Miracle.

1t was in the year 1893, when the
armies of Napoleon were passing over
the continent Of Europe and conquer
ing all that came in their way.
1t was Easter morning. and the sun
shone brightly on Feldkirch. a little
town situated on the Iii river. just
within the borders of Austria. The
III flows into the Rhine.
Quite early on this morning there
above the town to the west the gilt
tering weapons of $4,000 French SOL
diers. the division under the command
Of General Massena.
There was a hasty assembling Of
the town council. and it was decided
that a deputation be sent to Massena
with the keys Of the town and a petit
ton for mercy.
In the midst Of all the confusion Of
the hurryinC TO and fro and the anx-
ious consultation the old dean of the
church stood up serene as was the
morning. with no thought Of fear in
his brave Christian heart.

Soon from all the church spires Of

The streets became thronged with wor-
shippers on their way TO church. Loud

bells as they rang out the glad mes

He ordered his men to break up
camp and almost before the bells had
ceased ringing-long before Easter

She was particularly interested in
the children and devoted considerable
time to their instruction. She made
rule to give a present to each child

This necessity suggested to her the
novel idea Of decorating some eggs

THE EASTER LILY

"NHE lily is regarded as saint
n among flowers. and the reason
lilies are so largely used in the
decoration of churches Is not
only because they are the most perfect
of floral types. but because of their
symbolic meaning.
One beautiful old belief about the
lily relates that the candidates for the
Virgin Mary's hand after having
sought the Lords blessing each left
his own staff In the temple IN the
evening. The next morning the dry
rod of Joseph was found green and
blossomed with lily flowers.
Another pretty legend Is that Mary
on her way to the temple plucked
lily. and upon pressing it to her breast
1t became white. Lily Of the Virgin"
Madonna flower and several other
mystical names were given to the lily
and have reference to this legend.
A German belief points to the Harz
mountains as the birthplace of the
white lily. A beautiful girl named
Alice was carried off by a wicked
lord Just as he reached his castle
the guardian spirit Of the place wrest-
ed the girl from his arms. On the place
touched by the feet of this innocent
maid sprang the white lily. This story
is believed by the peasants of the
Harz mountains. and every year hun
dreds Of them make pilgrimage to
the castle to behold the dazzling beau
ty of the flower that flourishes there.
Another German legend runs this
way and relates to the red" lily:
Once the garden Of Gethsemane was
full Of flowers Of all kinds and among
them none so lovely as the splendid
lily, with her clustering bells proudly
upright. 1t was evening. and the
Lord came to walk in his garden. AS
he passed along each flower bowed
before him. but when he came to the
lily her naughty head remained erect.
defiant in her conscious beauty. The
Lord paused and looked at her for
second. She braved the mild eye Of
reproof. then slowly bent her head.
while bushes swept over her. Still
the Lords gaze rested on her. Lower
sank her head. deeper burned her
crimson, then tear after tear welled
up in her lily cups. AT this the
Lord passed on. When morning came
all the flowers lifted their heads-all
but the lily. that once was white
queen among them. Her head remain
ed bowed in shame. TO this day she
bushes over her sin of vanity. and
the clear crystal tears Of repentance
still sway in the cups of the flower
that refused to bend before the Lord.

An Easter Sermon,

I'm glad that Easter Sundays here"
Said Mrs. Henry Gray.
My bonnet new and other gear
III wear to church today.
A vein of glory will pervade
My hymn of praise and prayer,
For when my toilet is displayed
How Mrs. Bliss will stare
II hate that horrid Mrs. Brown,
With all her quirks and smiles.
Of all the women in the town
She apes the coarsest styles.
She bought her bonnet way last spring
And wears IL now for new.
And as for that old Thompson thing,
/ vow l hate her too!
II hear Miss Jones. the cross eyed cat
Has bought new pekay
And terra Gotta Paris nat
To wear TO church today.
And Helen White has got q dress
They say IS Just divise.
Come Mr.. Gray. and do you guess
It's half as sweet as mine?
There go those awful Billings girls.
They paint and powder too.
They pad and wear cheap bangs and curls.
They dol know they do!
You needn't laugh. | boldly say
And stake my honor on it
I'll paralyze them all today
With my new dress and bonnet!'

TREADWELL TOPICS

\
 On Thursday of last week several large icebergs drifted along by the Mexican mine, and to prevent damage to the Mexican and 700 salt water pipe lines, Foremen Richards and Daniels went out in a boat and with the aid of powder blew them into thousands of pieces. The noise made people think of the "glory hole" days when blasting could be heard almost any hour of the day or night.
 The cyanide plant dance which will be given on New Years eve promises to be one of the great events ofthe winter. The new orchestra has been secured for the occasion, and the members of 1t have been practicing new music just received from the East.
 We wonder what the store bowling team will do with the cyanide teams challenge. Surely they will call them.
 The carpenters are busy building a Hume from the 240 mill to the beach.
 Xmas was celebrated by the men who board in the Treadwell boarding houses in very pleasant manner. The stew ards had the tables and dining rooms decorated very nicely and the good old fashioned Xmas turkey and "dx- ings" were served out to the men. The dinner was the finest ever put up by the company and the men were all pleased. The Mexican dining room had the large auxetephone in operation and all enjoyed the music very much. The mines and mills were all closed down from a. m. Sunday to 6 a. m. Monday and every body celebrated.
 4 Slovenian employed in building the tanks at the cyanide plant had the misfortune to get his hand caught un- der one of the heavy plates, with the result that he had three fingers cut off, two of them remaining in his glove when it was removed. He was taken to the hospital and the injured members dressed by pr. Kuhn.
 Bob Fraser, an employee of the foun. dry, was helping to raise an iron flask weighing nearly two tons when one of the handles of the crane slipped off, and the other whirling around struck him in the chest and broke one of his ribs. He will not be able to resume his position again till after the first of the year.
 L. W. Mercer, of the store force, will leave on an early boat for the South. His going away will cause the hearts of several very nice young ladies of South eastern Alaska to hutter, but then, you know, there is always possibility of his returning some day. His position will be taken by H. B. Manners, who arrived on the Cottage City.
 l.. s. Ferris and wife entertained 6 few friends to Christmas dinner on Sunday evening at their home at the Pines.
 Last Friday night the machine shop team defeated the Bullion bowling team by total of 12O pins, 1894 to 1874. The scores were very small and no high individual scores were made.
 The usual picture show was put on at the Club on Saturday night. Dave Housel has been placed in charge of the cigar case that has been installed in the Club. It will prove a great convenience for the smokers.
 Wm. Lass, foreman Of the Treadwell cyanide plant. was severely injured yesterday by a piece of pipe striking him in the leg. Workmen were raising the pipe to place when the tackle broke.
