EASTER IN A PRISON.
Touching Story of Mrs. BalIington
Booths Visit to State Convicts.

Cincinnati Comercial Tribune: There
is one Easter in my life," says Mrs.
Ballington Booth, the Little Mother"
of the state convicts, (which stands
out with the brilliancy of the stars on
moonless night. 1t was spent In
Clinton, a state prison at Dannemora,
n. Y. Never before had I met an
audience like that one. There was no
sullen expressions, no faces of scoffers
among those whom / looked down
upon. They all wore the prison stripes,
and many looked as though the waters
of the earth had rolled over them. But
it had left them hope, and that hope
made their faces radiant. AS arose to
sing my little daughter, who sat with
the warden's family in the audience
and who was making her first visit to
a prison, became impatient and leaving
her seat came to the platform. She
chung so tightly to my skirts that I
finally lifted and placed her on the
desk at my side. When I had given
out You've Carried Your, Burden
asked her If she would not sing a verse
of it for the boys Much to my sur
prise she Immediately began and sang
the verse through without a break.
Il shall never forget that scene. The
childish voice rang out sweet and clear
and so distinctly that every word was
heard. The little figure in white, with
her golden curls about her face. smil-
ingly sang her message, and tears
streamed down the faces of the men as
the baby voice repeated. oh, bring it
to Jesus; he's loving and strong

ing heart, who perhaps for many years
had not heard childish voice. was
lightened that Easter day and found
for the first time the great burden

I'm the afternoon we held our second
service, and IL was like gathering In a
harvest. There wasn't much said; there
seemed no need for talking, but when l
left Dannemora that evening I felt
that Christ mad risen again and that to
many men l. was leaving, though in
stripes and behind prison bars. the
peace that passeth understanding, re-

she carried In her hand bunch OF
white roses.
'Juanito." she said in a voice as
sweet as honey-"Juanito, you have
never forgotten to pray to me each
morning and evening. In honor OF my
Sons resurrection / wish to reward
you. You shall go to the bullfight Sun
day."
AS she spoke the virgin shook into
Morenito's hand the petals of her white
roses, and in falling each leaf changed
into a silver coin, and Morenito was so
delighted that he awoke. He stretched
himself, and from one hand-what
miracle!--a silver coin slipped and fell
clinking on the pavement. He could
scarcely believe his eyes and ears. Al
last be picked it up--a beautiful bright
coin worth pesctas. The virgin had
not been making sport of him. and he

her big, black eyes were full of tears.

asked.

girl, land I have had no sleep for two

Morenito stood thoughtfuIly a mo-
ment with his eyes fixed on Chata's
fearful ones. Then he suddenly laid
the miraculous coin in his little friends
hand.
There nina mia" he sad. Take
this money. II came from the Virgin

Chata was so excited that she did not
even take time to thank him, but DART

1t was written that Morenito should
not go to the first bullfght. but as this
is world of compensations he never

Chata's mother was better. and tho
young girl came TO the courtyard of
the posada TO thank Juanito. She had
put on her gala dress. and with the rest
OF Moreinto's money he had bought
two red roses, which she had fastened
in her black hair. They went to walk
along the Guadalquivir under the bios

Chata's eyes, and perhaps a more ten

luster When they found themselves

Easter Plant Legends.

The Christian legends connected with
plants generally explain their behavior
during passion week. The aspen still
shivers with sremorse because, when
Christ passed, had boldly faced the
heavens instead Of bowling It's head in
company with the other trees. The
Savior cast one look on it, and the
memory of that sorrowful glance is
handed down even to this generation.
The willow was used for the scourges,
and ever since it has dropped its arms
in misery. The elder is commonly sup
posed to be the tree upon which Judas
hanged himself, and IL is not even to be
touched for frewood. However, it at
fords a safe refuge In a warning Of the
elements, for not even lightning will
deign to strike it. A fungus that grows
on the elder and is now known as Jews
ears was originally called Judas earr,
The oxalis, or wood sorrel was stand
ing at the foot of the cross and re-
ceived some drops of the precious
blood. These she still carries. The Ital-
ians have the same legend and call this
little blossom 'alleluia," as IL the very
flowers rejoiced in the great gift to the
world. The scarlet anemone, too. is
said to bear the stains OF Christ's blood.

LEGEND OF THE LILY.

The beautiful flower known as the
Easter lily holds significant part in
art and legendary literature, it being
regarded as the emblem of perfect pu-
rity. This fragrant flower originated
in China, and an interesting tale is told
Of its being transported to other lands.
Almost 1000 years ago the celestial
land was ruled by the barbarous EN-
peror Chow, who was horribly cruel,
sacrificing even the most favored Of his
wretched subjects to gain his ends.
Fearing the safety of his life, the prime
minister Ii Chung, planned mode
Of escape for himself and many Of the
Chinese. In order to carry out his pur-
pose successfully he ounningly took the
emperor into his confidence, telling him
Of a message that he had received from
the gods, who demanded that a great
number of men, women, beasts and a
large amount of fruit be sacrificed, in
return for which was promised the ma
tons prosperity. This sacrifice was to
take place on a sea island many miles
away.
The bloodthirsty and mercenary en-
peror was delighted, and after months
OF labor the finest ship in the royal feet
was made ready, with the prime min
lister as commander. On this ship were
100 of the most perfect types of men
and women, and for the feasts they
had brought the choicest food, among
which was the delicate bulb Of the lily.
which offered a dainty morsel when
prepared. The second night had passed
when Ii Chung told the youths and
naidens that they were not to be sac
rifced, but instead were to inhabit the
beautiful island to which they were
coming and live happily as his sub
jects.
And the story that reached old Chow
was of the sad wreck of the royal ves-
sci carrying the men, women and
beasts who were to have been sacrificed
to the gods. Thus Japan was peopled.
The lily grew in beauty and in time
was exported i'm bulb form to Europe
and later to America, where 1t is now
proudly appreciated and chosen as the
queen of flowers in the stately decora.
tions of the church at Eastertide.
