can see the artist bite the end OF
his pencil and frown when it comes
to drawing his Easter picture, for bis
legitimate pictorial conceptions of fig
ures pertinent to the festival are but
four in number
First comes Easter, pagan goddess
of spring. Here his fancy may have
free play. A beautiful maiden with
decorative hair and the proper mum
Der of toes win fill the bill. Miss
Clarice st. Vavasour, the well known
model, will pose for it in the '1ether-
gogallagher" or whatever it was that
Trilby called it.
Second, the melancholy lady with
upturned eyes in a framework of lilies.
This is magazine covery. but reliable.
Third, Miss Manhattan in the Fifth
avenue Easter Sunday parade.
Fourth, Maggie Murphy with new
red feather in her old straw hat, hap
by and self conscious, in the Grand
street turnout
OF course the rabbits do not count.
Nor the Easter egg, since the higher
criticism has hard boiled them.
The limited field Of its pictorial pos
Sibilities proves that Easter, of all our
festival days. is the most vague and
shifting in our conception. 1t belongs
to all religions, although the pagans
invented it. Going back still farther
to the first spring. we can see Eve
choosing with pride new green leaf
from the tree Ficus carica.
Now, the object Of this critical and
learned preamble is to set forth the
theorem that Easter is neither date,
a season. a festival. holiday nor an
occasion. What it is you shall find
out if you follow in the footsteps of

For the Year TO the Governor
of the State of West
Virginia.

State Game Warden j. A. Viques-

tons are shown. The history OF the
game laws in West Virginia is zone
into in detail and comment made on
each law showing that game laws ex-
tend back as far as 1903.
In speaking OF West Virginia as a
game state the official sets forth the
advantages for the raising of deer,
being best of any state east of the
Rocky mountains. For wild turkey,
bob-white, grouse, etc, West Virginia
is especially advantageous. Estimates
place the number of deer in West
Virginia at 1000.
A strong appeal is made to have
streams Of the state restocked with
fish and TO take advantage of the Of
fer of the government TO assist in
this. Favorable comment is made on
tue incense features, which have
placed the game department on a
self-sustaining basis.
The pollution of streams is another
feature to which is devoted much
space. Warden viquesney stating that
