EASTER.

On Sunday the st. John the
Baptist's Catholic Church was
thronged for the celebration of
the most beautiful, the 1nost
gloriouso of all the festivals around
which most of the others circle.
Beautiful flowers, the lily pre-
dominating, shed their sweet fra
GRANGE from the altar amid the
glow of waxen candles, and the
great message of a risen Christ
was accepted by all. The days
celebration was in keeping with
the exercises of Lent that pre-
ceded it and prepared for it.
Father Richard, the beloved
pastor, spoke eloquently on the
lesson Of the day. Christ is risen,
resurrected as he promised he
would and this great fact, the
speaker said, was convincing,
unanswerable argument in favor
of the truth of religion.
The choir, under the direction
of Miss GAMER, the organist,
artistically rendered the mass.
DR.. Caboche sang the "Crucifix''
with splendid effect, and Mrs. J.
E. Miilet, Miss Adele Millet and
Professor Mestayer were heard
in appropriate solos.

Young Soldiers of Fortune
Arrested At Home

Two youngsters from this par
ish became possessed of a desire
to roam away from the paternal
roof and, with an innate love
for adventure, they travelled up
to Baton Rouge and vicinity.
Not finding the excitement
they craved, the boys decided to
go to New Orleans. On their way
down, they procured a skiff and
drifted down to Lucy, where
they offered to sell the craft.
Sheriff Berthelot appeared upon
the scene at this time and ques-
toned the boys. They gave their
names as Sam and Charles Davis
and said that they lived in Baton
Rouge. The Sheriff became sus-
picious and decided to place the
two in jail. Upon reaching there
the boys realized their plight and
made known their identity to
Mr.. Berthelot, who at once noti-
fed their parents. The boys were
released under proper appear
ance bonds and are now realizing
that, after all, there is no better
place than home.

Still Fear Bryan.

The election of Senator Martin
of Virginia as minority leader of
the senate is being alluded to as
a slap at Mr.. Bryan, who is al
legged to consider him as not pro-
gressive enough to represent po-
licies for future Democratic vic
tory. There seems to be a fear
among the ultra conservatives
and the interests they represent
that Mr.. Bryan is to have whole
lot to say about the issues upon
which the Democratic party is
to go before the public in 1912,
and an evident intent to discredit
him in advance.
The career of William Jen-
nings Bryan in American politics
will mark notable epoch in ma
tional history. He has been con-
sistent, feerless, untie min
fiuenced by any consideraa OF
personal gain in the expression
| of his ideas of governmental po-
licies for the betterment of the
people The influences that are
behind the movement now to
fdiscoaant him in the councils of
| the party are the same that OPP
posed his principles in the past,
which have been compelled by
the irresistible force of public de-
|mand to accede to them, and
which may possibly fear the
great arm Of the popular opinion
[af future utterances that the
great Nebraskan may put forth.

Tom L. J0hnson's Death.

The death Of Tom L. Johnson
marks the end of a striking career
in business and politics. He rose
from poverty to wealth through
indomitable energy, business
acumen and political sagacity.
He was distinctively a man of
the people, and in his own city
he maintained their affections
until the close of a brave fight for
life. He was a progressive in poll
tics, an advocate of the Henry
George theories of taxation, and
as such was twice elected to con-
gress. For many years he was
in the storm center of political
movements and a foremost figure
in the development of industrial
and financial enterprises. In 1892
he was the nominee of the Ohio
Democracy for governor, but was
defeated by Myron T. Herrick.
He was four times mayor of
Cleveland, making a long and
bitter fight for the esta blishment
of three-cent' car fares for the
people, an effort which was
crowned with fiual success after
a struggle lasting over his four
administrations. He was a man
built on broad lines, aggressive
and progressive. In his death the
people of Cleveland have lost a
redoutable champion.

Mrs. Louis Rodrigue.

Mrs. Louis Rodrigue, of Ed
gard, died quite suddenly Satur-
day night, at $50 o'clock. She
had been occupied in reading,
when sudden dizziness overlook
ner and, soon after, she breathed
her last.
Mrs. Rodrigue was Miss Anna
Fernandez before her marriage
and was born in the city of New
Orleans forty-one years ago. She
received a splendid education in
the ST. Joseph's Convent of that
city and was endowed with much
talent, being unusually bright.
She also possessed a wonderful
retentive memory, and had the
happy faculty of blending the
ornamental and useful, being
accomplished in drawing.
Having been bereft of her
father, in early life, Mrs. Rodri-
gae was raised by her mother.
After leaving school, she, with
her mother and sister, establish
ed themselves in Edgard, where
they conducted a private school
for some years. Many will read
with sorrow, of the death of their
good teacher and friend.
She was the organist at the
Catholic Church during Father
Lavaquery's rectorship. Mrs.
Rodrigue's enduring devotion
and patience near her old moth
er, who has been an invalid fol
many years, is a sublime exam
pie of Christian fortitude. Day
and night she was constantly
near her mother and sacrificed
the pleasures of life. This sweet,
gentle, unostentatious devotion
to duty was assiduously hidden
and many knew naught of it un-
til after her demise.
/ Mrs. Rodrigue was married six.
teen years ago, and leaves hel

aged mother and a half brother,

HERALDS OF THE SPRING

Soon viii flights of feathered atoms
Hemeward co ne on weary wing,
With full throats OF alteration,
Chanting "Resurrected Spring
Bhthesome artists, how you cheer US
With your symphonies of glee,
Naively all the while coquetting
With a mate in yonder tree;
Coyly cleaning choicest tuftings
For the finish of your nest.
Hidden in the topmost branches
Or on "Mother Earth's" warm breast
May no ruthless hand of spoiler
Overthrow your lofty bowers.
And no scytheman harm the youngGngs
Graded 'mong the sweet wildsflowers;
We are told in ancient legend
OF a bird with broken wing,
Throbbing in our Savior's garden
Wounded SO it could not sing;
How the Christ child bent above it,
Laid His lips upon its throat;
Healer of all Times distresses
Sent it forth in joyous note.
Noble deeds bear imitation
Should we shattered binsse,ertake,
Let US try to ease the sufferers
For our Lord and Master sake.

WHENTHEspEeELED TROUT ARE BITING


By Georges tHUR CLEVELAND.
There's keenness in the yearning,
There's an ardor in the dreams,
OF the days wen be returning
To the mountains and the streams,
In the happy haunts inviting
When the balm is in the sky. 80
And the speckled trout are biting
At the angleworm and fly,
When the mellow day is breaking
AS the pines begin to Groom,
And the heron is swaking
At the bugle of the loon,
When the partridge in the cover
Will he drumming ont the roll
To call the quail and ployer
On the meadow and the knoll.
When the woodpecker's tapping
On the hollow Of the snag,
And the night hawk is mapping
On the shelving of the crag.
When the wood thrush is trilling
In the shadow of the dell,
And the woodcock is drilling
In the loaming of the fsa.
1t is then, wei be a blenafhg
To the merry roundsIay,
By the waterways vending
To the music OF the spray,
So, our weary hearts are lighting
AS the days are drawing nigh,
Z When the speckled trout are biting
At the angleworm and flya

Careful of His Gun.

In one of the small mountain towns of Kentucky lived Dan, a half wit, with whom the boys often went hunt ing. On one of these trips Dan and the young man with him were between two hills when a rabbit jumped up in front of them and ran up the hill to Dar's right. The other fellow, being on Dams left, did not wish to take the chance of shooting at the rabbit for fear of an accident, so he said: There he goes, Dan! Shoot him, shoot him!'' But Dan simply stood still and watch ed the rabbit disappear over the hill, and his partner wanted to know why he didn't shoot. After a moments si- lence he answered, talking through his nose: Did you take me for a fool? Do you think was going to strain my gun shooting uphill?'-Judge.

Poe's Short Stories.


 There are in the best of Poe's briet tales a constructive skill, a command of design and a gift of decoration rare in any literature and almost unknown in English, which Is ever unduly negli- gent of form. And no one need won- der that POe's short stories wandered swiftly out of our languages into French and Italian and Spanish, into German and Scandinavian and Bohe- milan, into strange tongues where no other American author. except Feni- more Cooper, had ever before pene- trated. His weird psychologist studies have influenced later writers as unlike as Maupassant and Richepin, Fitz- james, O'Brien, Robert Louis Steven son and Rudyard Kipling. His tales of a mystery solved at last by observa- tion and deduction have been initiated by Dumas and Sardou, by Gaboriau and Boisgobey, by Wilkie Collins and Conan Doyle. And Sherlock Holmes, the only fictitious character to win in- ternational recognition in the final years of the nineteenth century, Is the reincarnation of figure first projected by Poe.-Brander Matthews in Gen. tury.

A Modern Shipwreck,

Tn an account of the wreck of the sailing ship Carnarvon Bay on King island, Australia. it is related that when the vessel struck the captain calmly took a cigar from his pocket. bit the end off and lit it before order ing the boats to be launched. Even this display of lack of fear did not en- tirely prevent some degree of panic among the men, however, and seven men pushed off in the port lifeboat, leaving twenty-two to scramble into the starboard boat. In spite of the captains orders the men in the port boat refused to come alongside, and those in the starboard boat shouted that if they did not put off the masts would fall on them. Instead of hurry ing to the boat the captain strolled to his cabin and collected his papers. After he had entered the boat he transferred five men to the port boat and made for Tasmania, 100 miles away. He and the mates steered in turn, while the men bailed with empty biscuit tins, and forty-eight hours later both boats reached land.-Chicago News.

Oddities of Cecil Rhodes.

He possessed few intimate friends, and not even to all of them did he dis close his hand. Mere acquaintances disliked his moody silences, varied with fits of rather boisterous fun. They considered him exclusive, mo- rose, rough and overbearing. And 1t must be admitted that he was a good hater, violent when thwarted and al times blunt to the point of rudeness. It is difficult to be sufficiently uncon- ventional to shock a mining camp, but he shocked 1t. In dress he was almost disreputable. He seldom took pains to ingratiate himself with any one, and a man who too openly scorns his fel. lows must expect to suffer social os. tracism and to have his character tra. duced. It would be idle to deny that for a time there were unfavorable ru mors in circulation regarding him or that he was in many circles unpop ular. But, like Gallio, he "cared for none of those things.''-Sir Lewis Mich ell.

The Handkerchief Came From Italy

A writer in a French review points out that the handkerchief does not come to us from China, as has been generally believed, but from Italy. It is only 300 years ago that the hand kerchief of a Venetian lady was con- sidered a great curiosity, The hand kerchief crossed the Alps and was re- ceived with great favor at the court of France. Handkerchiefs were then made of cambrfc or lawn and bordered with Venetian or Alencon lace. Under Henry III. of France the sachet was introduced. The handkerchief was taken into Germany a little later and was known as the "fazelletin," after it's Italian name. Only persons of quality used it, and an edict in 1895 was published at Dresden interdicting the use of the handkerchief among the trading classes.-London Globe.

Fieldina at Lisbon.

Lisbon contains the grave of Henry Fielding. It was on Oct. 4, 1754, that Fielding died in the Portuguese cap ital, and it was in 1880 that his tomb was erected in the English cemetery. And Fielding didn't like Lisbon. "As the houses, convents, churches, etc. are large" he wrote, 'and all built with white stone, they look beautiful at a distance, but as you approach nearer and find them to want every kind of ornament all idea of beauty vanishes at once" At that time a voyage to Lisbon was an undertaking not lightly to be contemplated. Il took Fielding exactly fifty days oi foul weather.-St. James Gazette.
