popped like cannon when it struck
and the state of Tanmore was some

And then Eliza Primmel's spirit
took unto itself full growth, and he
stood on his back porch and delivered
an e2temporaneous address to

Mrs. Bithers fed, and Tanmore
made his way from the yard mutely
leaving Primmel still speaking to the

widow though she was, had an ideal.

There isn't much to this story, OK

Mrs Bithers taught class of boys

school was one Lemuel Tanmore.

the work of coloring the eggs usually
was divided among several people.
But brother Primmel had Napo-
leonic thought. Mrs Bithers' inter
est in the Sunday school work was
one avenue by which he was ap-
preaching her heart Now, If by one
grand stroke he could simply astound
her by his devotion to that work, he
would go some distance ahead of the
crafty Tanmore in her regard. So he
deftly ended the discussion of ways
and means by saying:
Let us not worry longer over the
eggs. II you will send them to me,
will color them all myself have
nothing to do Saturday afternoon, and
will PIT in the idle hours with profit,
am sure. II give them to this ex-
cellent task of preparing the gifts
for the children"
THAT is simply lovely of you, Mr..
,Primmel" said Mrs Bithers.
Then came the Machiayellian
stroke of Tanmore.
"All right" he offered. 'TIl fur
nish the eggs!"
How sweet and noble OF you,
brother Tanmore."
Lemuel Tanmore did what any man
would have done. He wanted to dis
credit his rival. So he procured eggs
of doubtful vintage. And the only
doubt was as to whether they were
five or ten years old. Modestly, he
insisted that no one should know who
had given the eggs
Brother Primmel Is doing the
work-he is bearing the heat and bur
den of the day he said. LET tie
children know that their pleasure
comes through him."
Brother Tanmore knew mighty
we'll what would be said about
brother Primmel by the whole com
munity, after the children tried to
open those eggs.
II any one thinks coloring eggs is
a merry. madcap procedure. he should
attempt to dye Twelve dozen of them
