won first prize. Those finding candy
and pasteboard rabbits retained their
trophies, and the pictured rabbits made
nice consolation gifts for several chill
dren who were lucky enough to find
them. The first prize was a white rab-
bit issuing from an Easter egg the lat
ter filled with candy.
This frolic was followed by a game
which consisted in pinning a tail on a
rabbit drawn on a Sheet blindfolded,
with a prize for the one that came
nearest.
Another contest consisted in seeing
who could make the best shadow pic
ture of a bunny on the wall by moving
his or her hands in a strong light
thrown from a lamp.
The supper table for this party was
extremely pretty and full of Easter
suggestion. The centrepiece was a nest
made of brown cotton wadding, sur
rounded by smilax and flowers, N
filed with Easter candy eggs. with the
Christian names of the different chill
dren written on them. These served as
favors to be distributed after the game,
as did also the little five-cent rabbits
in various attitudes of running ana
leaping, which circles around the CEN
trepiece.
An Eastertide Landscape.
Surround the top of an inexpensive
deal table (the kitchen variety, with a
three-inch rim made by lacking thin
strips of wood along each end. Fill
with clean sand or earth and construct
upon it a pretty garden and landscape
Bits Of sod or imitation moss represent
the turf. Tips from pine trees, etc,
| furnish abundant ~arborage; a small
mirror forms a pond. Sheep may Craze
upon a gently sloping hill at n side.
and on the other a paddock (the paling
fence made from brown cardboard)
contains cattle or horses. On h lake
floats a tiny skiff with perhaps a dimin-
utive doll or two in it.
In the garden plant numbered beans.
They must be placed in the earth just
before the party, otherwise they will
sprout. The number on each bean
should be clearly written with ink.
Viewing the landscape in it's various
phases will occupy and amuse the
guests till all are or the scene. When
everyone is present each player is given
a toy shovel, about the size of q
sugar-scoop, and is told to dig until he
finds a bean. The number found or
the bean indicates an envelope marked
with the same number, which the dig
ger receives at once.
On each envelope a quotation regard
ing some flower is written. h name of
the blossom, if it occurs in the verse.

Inside, protected by the seal. is a
card on which the picture of h flow
er has been sketched or pasted. These
pictures may be cut from a seed cata-
logue or advertisements will furnish
many of them, or floral postal cards
can be used.
The verses are read aloud and each
player writes down the name of the
flower as this is supposed to be.
At the end of the game the envelopes
are opened and the various guesses
verified or disproved. The guests who
have formed the most complete lists re
ceive prizes. Flower sachets, PEN
wipers, in the form of pansies, daisies
and sunlowers, with similar trifies
make appropriate awards.

A PRETTY plan for an Eastertide
a. gathering where originality and
a knack of giving things a happy turn
must take the place of an unlimited
supply Of pocket money, is an Easter
lily affair.
Buy for the invitations the note paper
with tiny lily sprays replacing the
monogram, which car be obtained from
any large stationer at this season OF
the year. Or lily shaped cut from white
cardboard at home M having the little
notes written ON them are equally ef-
f~ective, and cost less. Enclose them in
green envelopes.
Crepe paper lilies are very easy to
make, using the ten-cent patterns now
sold everywhere for the purpose. These
in connection with bands and cart
wheels of white and green tissue paper
make delightful festoons for the parlor
walls.
1t adds to the picturesqueness of the
little function If the girls are asked to
wear white gowns, but this detail is not
necessary to the success of the func-
ton, says the writer in the Philadelphia
Press.
Begin the evenings fun with a blind
fold game gotten up in this way: On a
square of muslin draw with colored
chalks or water color, an Easter lily
plant. This is sketched and hung up
in the same way as the donkey for
the donkey party. Blindfold each
player in turn and send him or her to
pin a tissue paper lily on the plant.
All those who succeed in doing this are
eligible to draw for the prize. If only
one person succeeds in reaching it this
person is prize winner.
Or a real lily plant with numerous
blooms could be substituted as a foun-
dation for the game. Each player is
blindfolded in turn, and is sent to clip
one of the flowers. All those who sue
coed in reaching the plant retain the
lilies they clipped as souvenirs.
A game of chance, but an amusing
one. is founded on the four letters in the
word lily. To play it the hostess passes
a strip of cardboard, on which each
guest Is asked to write his name. Mid
lle names are omitted here, unless it is
previously agreed to include them.
The hostess then reads the auto
graphs carefully and the n which is

DIED.


RICHARDSON-At his home three
miles north of Colfax, La, at 1890
p. m. on Sunday, Feb. 81, 1910.
Judge Wilson l.. Richardson, born
in Livingston parish, La, Dec. 10.
1881, departed this life aged 7S
years, 2 months and 8 days.
In all that goes for the upbuilding
and honorable esta biishment of the
principles that have been for the
best interest of Grant parish. Judge
w. l.. Richardson has been one of
it's foremost citizens. His rugged in
tegrity and firmness in standing for
the right has been known and recog-
nized for more than a generation in
this community. which has so long
had the benefit of his counsel and ex-
ample. He was the first man to To-
cate at Colfax at the organization of
Grant parish in 1869, and he has
been thoroughly identified with all
of the interests of the parish from
that time until his death. He receiv-
ed fairly good common school ed
ucation in st. Helena, and moved to
Rapides parish in 1855. He studied
law few years. In 1862 he enlisted
in Company C, 9th La. regiment,
and served until 1864, when he was
elected Recorder of Rapides parieh,
and was discharged to return home
and take care of his office. He was
captured at the fall of vicksburg and
paroled.
After the creation of Grant parish
in 1869, he was parish judge, parish
treasurer, school treasurer, and sup
erintencent of public education. He
was also mayor of the town OF Colfax
for several years. In all of these sue
cpssive offices he was faithful and sat
isfactory in the performance OF his
duty, and no neglect or wrong doing
was ever imputed to bin. He was a
conservative but courageous leader
and counselor in the days OF recon
struction, and was among the few
that remsinedhere during the "Colfux
Riot" in 1873. Plain and unassum-
ing iD all of his actions, he was al
ways careful. honorable and just
in his dealings with men, and kind
and considerable to bis neighbors
and friends. He Was charter mem.

he sold his residence in Colfax and
moved to his farm north of town.
In 1879 Judge Richardson was
married to Miss Elizabeth Christian.
by whom he had two sons. Robert
Wilson and Zachariah Amos, who
with their mother survive him. He
also leaves brother. w. b. Richard
son, a sister, Mrs. Wilson Prestridge,
and a nephew, Sylvester E. Richard
son. The Judge for many years was
an acceptable and exemplary member
of the M. +. church South, himself
and his wife being among the four
teen charter members at the organi-
zation of the Colfax society in 1881.
He has since then always held posi-
ton as steward of the church, and
was active in his duties as such up to
the time of his death. He was also
a trustee of the church, and for many
years was president of the board.
Judge Richardson was well preserv-
ed for "a man of his age, and was APP
parently well and hearty to within
a few hours of his death, which re-
suited from acute Indigestion, and
some other complications. By re-

Initials Carry Weloht.

T didn't know you had so many initials said one man to another who had been lucky enough to secure an interview with the capitalist. 'I nearly dropped over when you told the boy J. K. H. Allen wished to see the boss. What do they all stand for?"
 Nothing" said the man of many initials "J for John is the only one have a right to. The rest are added just for effect. It was on the strength of those extra initials that I got to see my man. A string of letters will secure you an interview most any where; not printed on a card-never send in your card if you are unknown and not properly introduced-but spoken, and with emphasis. Be sure of the emphasis, J. K. H., just like that, so the boy will think you are somebody and will take care to repeat those blessed initials with the same force.

In the seventeenth century all the abnormally large and small folks of Austria were assembled in Vienna in response to a whim of the empress.

 He had not proceeded far before he came upon Contractor Vare's men, who were tearing up the street pre- paratory to laying the wooden block pavement. and, seeing a team of horses hooked to a blow. he stopped in apparent astonishment.

BEE THE FARMER'S FRIEND
In Cultivation of Fruit and Seed Crops. Busy Insect Is an Invaluable
 Aid.

Beekeeping is valuable aid in the cultivation of fruit and seed crops. In sects which feed on nectar play an i'm portant part in the fertilization or flowers. Fertilization is effected 1n other ways, but the agency of insects is the more certain and efficaclous, and no other insect is comparable with the honey bee in this respect.
 A strong hive contains 10000 bees fin February, 15,0O0 in March, 4o,ooo in April, and from 60,000 to SO,oO0 Tn May. It has been discovered by skll f,Il observers that the average load of nectar carried to the hive by pee Is about three-tenths of gram, so that the collection of one pound of nectar requires nearly 23,00O forag ing excursions
 By means of hives set on balances 1t has been found that the daily 1n- crease in weight in May averages 3.3 pounds. Occasionally, more than II pounds is gained in one day; ana when the amount consumed by the bees and the loss of weight by eVap'
  probable that the average daily quan- tity of nectar collected is nos less than II pounds, which would load 250,Oo0 bees.
 As a bee visits ten flowers on the average in collecting single load, some 2,50O,000 flowers are visited in one day by the bees of single hive. An additional large number of visits is required for the collection of pollen
 These figures explain why many trees and plants bear small crops in the absence of bees.
 The bee is charged with various imaginary crimes. It's sting is form1d- able, but chiefly to the imprudent. It is accused of ravaging fruit, but It's tongue is formed exclusively for the extraction of sweet juices, and It's mandibles are unable to pierce the skin of fruit.-Cosmos.
