THE MODELS

THE S. w. MILLER PIANOS ARE
VERY FINE WORKS OF ART.

We take great pleasure in an
nouncing the arrival of a large ship
ment of S. w. MILLER'S matchless
Music Makers, fresh from the factory
at Sheboygan, Wisconsin, stamped
with the seal of superiority, every one
OF them a mellow-toned masterpiece OF
merit. We have models In Mahog-

Oak. These premier pianos are the
sweet-sounding, long-lasting kind OF
instrument your friends have been
buying of us this summer.
S. w. Miller's mark on a piano
makes middlemen mad; they know
they CAN'T COMPETE with US in
Good Quality and Low Prices. We
are pleased to show these fine instru-
ments, and you may buy now and pay

Wages were fixed by the standard
OF living. A working man must
earn enough to live on and raise o
family, too; for IL he didn't, the em-
ploying class in one generation
would have to go TO work and they
wouldn't stand for that. The high

Il cost to live, the higher the wage;
and any lowering of this standard
was simply to let the working man
save more, not for himself, but for
the rich. He freely admitted that
he thought men would be better off
and would live longer IL they never

Big RALLY
OF KICKERS
FRIDAY EVE
WILLAMETTE BOYS ARRANGE
FOR A BIG BON FIRE AND EN-
THUsIAsTIC BOOSTER MEET
ING FRIDAY EVENING.

A large number of students were
working yesterday afternoon carrying
boards and fuel of all sorts with
which to make the big bonfire Friday
night. Along toward 8 p. m. large
pile of boards and boxes appeared at
one end of the football field. A bar
rel or two of tar will be procured,
and Friday night the entire athletic
field will be Illuminated from the
blaze.
Austin Flegel, who has charge of
the work, declares that he is going to
have the best football rally that Old
Willamette has ever seen, and. from
the interest he is creating, he is sure
to realize his wish.
The football team is steadily ad-
vtncing in proficiency in handling the
ball, the forward pass being prac-
ticed a great deal. The team is ter
ribly weak in guard and halfback po-
sitions. McRae has been shifted to
end, which greatly increases the
strength there, but weakens II in the
guard position. A hard game is ex-
pected Saturday with o. A. c., and a
large interest is being shown. Many
tickets are being sold now, and a
large crowd is expected.

Some Foreign Easter Customs.

On Easter Russian children receive
presents as our children do on Christ
mas. On Easter Monday people 90
about kissing relatives, friends and
acquaintance and exchanging eggs.
These are sometimes very beautiful
ones of glass and ~"elain and are
filled with sugar plU.-, and presents.
In Ireland children play a game
called punching eggs" This is play
ed with pan filed with sand or saw
dust, which is set on a table, around
which the children stand, each SUD-
piled with eggs. The eggs of each
player are all of one color and are un-
like those of the other players. The
object Of the game is for each player
to so place the eggs standing upright
in the sand as to bring five in a row
touching each other. In turn each
player pulls down an egg, sometimes
filling out row for herself, at others
cutting off the line of an opponent
The one who first succeeds in obtain
ing the desired row calls out:
The raven, enough and crow
Lie five in row."

And to the throngs below you say:
Rejoice, the stone is rolled away.
Hope lies not in the gravel"
Droop not your petals, blossoms fair.
Your spotless leaves unfold
And come this blessed Easter morn
Gods holy affairs to adorn.
There show your hearts of gold.

Come, lilies, shower your incense down
In recompense today!
Song, be not silent this glad day,
But lift your notes on high.
Send up the sweet and fervent strain
A grateful, thankful. glad refrain,
With heavens songs to vie
Shout praises to his holy name
VINO from his home in glory came
To bear our sorrow. sin and shame
That we might i've for aye!
Hearts, be not dumb, but gratitude
Pour out unto our King.
He gave his all that we might live.
Have we no Offering to give,
No sacrifice to bring?
At least our homage let US pay
And sincere thanks extend today
That angels rolled the stone away
Hope lies not in the grave!

| n BELIEVE that with every
| Easter dawn fuller efful-
gence Of spiritual light illu-
inmates the earth. Easter spells
optimism. The optimist is the
only naturalized citizen Of the
universe. He is. indeed, uni
versal denizen, owner Of the
sphere be treads and inheritor
of stars.
Optimism means belief in the
eternal goodness, acceptance Of
so called evil in the full conf
dence that the evolutionary proc.
esses of divine nature are work
ing with absolute certainty to-
ward ultimate perfection.
In my view the person who
does not believe in the prepon-
derance Of the good over the evil
upon this earth has no right to
call himself a Christian. He
does not believe in Christ, who
believed in humanity and loved
even those who prosecuted him.
He does not believe in God, for
God is the immanent essence Of
good residing in all things.
Easter is both pagan and Chris
tan. Centuries before the Naz-
arene proclaimed good will to
men the pagan optimists eele-
brated the return Of spring as
the awakening, the rebirth, the
resurrection Of life out Of appar.
ent death.
Every days dawn is an Easter
morning to the opdmist The
spirit Of aspiration shakes OF its
lethargy Of the night as a use
less garment and goes forth
each new day to higher alti-
tudes Of endeavor.
There was period in the past
century when movement call
ed characterization stirred the
souls Of thinking men. Ralph
Waldo Emerson was its high
priest. Emerson was the tran
scendent optimist. He acknowl-
edged no evil In the universe.
He knew only that which was
good and held fast thereto.
We cannot all be Emersonian
in intellect, but we can transcend
our environment Many Of US
are down amid the murk and the
muck, but we can look up into
the light and by hitching our
wagons to the stars be drawn up.
ward into liberty. Grief bludg-
cons our heads, but 1t need not
bow them. Sorrow pierces our
hearts, but It need not break
them. If we believe in the JUS
ttce Of the Infinite, these little
temporal lives will become to US
only as incidents in the irresisti-
BILE upward leading Of the eter-
nal.
Life is the supreme fact. Eas-
ter exemplifles the triumph of
life. Let US believe only in life,
refusing to be domineered by
the unsubstantial wrath called
death, refusing to be diverted
from 1.-The upward look
ing and the light" Then will
Easter be to US the most signif-
can't, the most inspiring, the
most uplifting of all the days
that dawn.
