The Thorn Grown.

The thorns that had crowned tht
GROW of the King fell in crimson
wreath at the foot of cross upon a
hill called Calvary, and fhey cried tc
the darkness TO hide them from the
sight of men-to shadow them forever
beneath the nights black wings. And
welcome was the dark to them and all
the thunder of the skies. But when
the night was done and light came
with the morning white roses bloomed
above them, so that the red upon theiI
spears was hidden, and men, behold,
ing, marveled at the flowers, nor saw
the thorns that had wounded the brow
Of the beautiful King. And the name
OF the roses was Love-even that Love
which shelters in its own bosom the
shaft that wounds 1t and makes earth

Now, when the bird from her dim recess
Beheld the Lord in his burial dress
And looked on the heavenly face so pale
And the dear feet pierced with the crue
nail
Her heart nigh broke with sudden pang
And out of the depth of her sorrow she
sang.
"All night long till the morn was up
She sat and sang in her moss wreatheo
cup
song of sorrow as wild and shrill
As the homeless wind when it roams the
hill,
So full of tears. so loud and long
That the grief of the world was turned
to song.
But soon there came through the weep
ing night
A glimmering angel clothed in white,
And he rolled the stone from the toni
away
Where the Lord of the earth and heavet
lay;
And Christ arose in the cavern's gloom
And in living luster came from the tomb.
Now the bird that sat in the heart of the
tree
Beheld the celestial mystery,
And its heart was filled with a sweet de
light.
night:
Notes climbed notes till higher, higher
They shot to heaven like sparks of fire.
when the glttering white robed ange,
heard
The sorrowng song of the grieving bird
And heard the following chant of mirth
That hailed Christ risen from the earth
He said, Sweet bird. be forever blest,
Thyself. thy eggs and thy moss wreathee
nest
And ever. my child, since that blessed
night,
When death bowed down to the Lord OF
light,
The eggs of that sweet bird changed then
hue
And burn with red and gold and blue,
Reminding mankind in their simple way
OF the holy marvel of Easter day"

Y llK MORE FATAL THAN PLAY
1r. hIt-hinson Includes Wine, Won1-
an ana Song in the Lat
ter Category.

Indianapolis Speaking at the con-
ference of hygiene of the National
Education Association, DR.. Woods
Hutchinson OF New York said:
I'VE hear much about the terrible
ravages OF death among those who
enjoy themselves. They call II the re-
suit of diseases Of play, but the dis
eases of work kill their hundreds OF
thousands, while only hundreds OF
thousands succumb to the diseases OF
play--even including dissipation and
wine. woman and song
1--WE say usually that when a man
gets old he does not enjoy himself
and that he does not have any pleas
ure. We say that when a man gets
OLD he quits playing. The fact is that
when a man quits playing he gets old.
And II is said, too, that play costs
money, and that you cannot play with
out money 1t is always the things
that are expensive and luxurious that
men desire for their amusement and
pleasure. But this is wrong, too, for
the very best thirgs for our plays are
the free things. They are the things
that cost nothing.
That baseball should be an impor-
taut part OF the education of children
and that every schoolboy, and, per-
haps. every schoolgirl, should play the
game. is the opinion OF William 4.
Strecher. director of physical training
in the public schools of Philadelphia,
expressed in the conference of hy-
gienc of the National Education Asso-
citation in this city.
Each school should have baseball
club and the clubs should visit each
others grounds in the fashion of the
professional leagues, Strecher added.
Increasing attention must be paid to
strengthening the bodies of children
if their mentality is to improve. he
pointed out. and he asserted that or
ali games baseball provides the best
and safest exercise.

Caldwell, n. flames Marsh, who

Big Pice swamp near here, captured
anbino muskrat The creature has

Old hunters and trappers, who

the lowlands bordering the upper
courses of the Pasaic, Pompton and
Rockaway rivers, say that they never
before have seen an albino muskrat.
The usual color of the rodents is
brown, sometimes shading almost to
black.
Marsh has spent the last two
months hunting and during that time
has secured more than $50 skins of
the dark colored muskrats. These with
the skin of several mink, sunks and
possums will net him about $3.50.
