She Did Not Tell the Public

A duck which stuck faithfully to
business during the summer and laid
several dozens of large fawn colored
eggs complained that she wasn't ap-
preciated. "See that hen over there"
said the duck. "She hasn't laid as
many eggs as l have nor as big, but
she has books written about her and
verses composed in her honor, while
nobody is saying word about me. :"
1.-The trouble with you is" said wise
old rooster that was standing near,

Eester Sunday, by A. J. Waller

More life and fuller, that we want"
This is the cry of humanity and this
cry finds its answer and satisfaction in
the Lord of Easter, who said, II came
that they might have life and that
they might have it more abundantly"
and 81 am the Resurrection and the
Life"
Easter is the Climax of the Christian
year. Christianity stands q sfallf by
the stupendous miracle that it re-
asserts in its commemoration If it is
true of the Founder of Christianity
that
''He is dead: far hence he lies
In that lone Syrian town.
And on his grave With shining eyes
The Syrian stars look down.
Then the days of Christianity as a
vital force to dominate and direct the
the conscience of the world are num-
bered. But with their ending would
set the star of hope. The fear, how
ever,is groundless. The pessimistic
wall of the poet is untrue.
"But Easter Day Breaks!
But Christ rises!'
And in thousands of churches and in
millions of hearts once more on Easter
Sunday will be proclaimed the faith,
strong and triumphant bearing within
it the hope ofhumanity.
Il believe;-the third day he rose
again from the dead"

Do Not Trust to Your Luck

expect to win one of the $3.50 pianos.
When the Poet said, Trust no fu-

have had in mind those procrastinators
who are forever putting things off. ;"
1t was Micawber, in Dickens David
Copperfieid" who was always waiting
for something to turn up"
The only way to make things turn
up in voting contest is to go out
and dig them up. If person expects
to win, they must not expect to win
without some dllligent effort.
The street of By and By leads to a
house called "Never" and if you keep
on thinking" about getting busy
well, the logical outcome will be that
you will think while some other wise
candidate is working and getting the
results that will make her winner.
"Time is fleeting" and time is the
stuff the contest is made of, and any
winner and any one that expects to
win a prize worth while will have to

Sixty-eight Miners Killed by Fire

believed the last of the victims was
brought to the surface at O'Clock Sat
urday afternoon.
A large force of state constabulary
and police from Scanton was required
to handle the throngs that swarmed
about the shaft opening As soon as the
first news of the catastrophe spread.
The usual contingent of weeping women
who fought blindly to get inside the
roped lines and hundreds of fcurious from
nearby towns hampered the work of
the rescuers.
Most of the bodies were brought up
Saturday morning: and, as each of the
dead workers was hoisted to the surface
and identified, he formed the center of
the ever.recurring scene of grief that
was enacted, and then followed the
rafting wagon to the morgue or one Of
the little grimy cottages. y
Half of the homes in Throop are
plunged in mourning. A portion of the
grim harvest of the "China" level is
shown in the official record of 1876 new
ly made orphans and forty-five widows.
One of the tradgie occurrences of the
disaster was the deate of Joseph E.
Evans, foreman of the government
mine rescue car. Six weeks ago he be-
came chief of the Kingston recsue sta
ton. Answering the first call to duty
Evans arrived in Throop shortly after
8 O'Clock Friday night. Donning oxy-
gen helmets, the chief and two assist
ants went into the stope. They STUN
bled over three dead men a score of
feet from the entrance, but before they
could penetrate farther, Evans was
seen to tug at his helmet and tear it
from his head. His comrades rushed
him to the opening, but the fumes he
had inhaled proved fatal.
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1911-04-13

The gloom of the greatest mining
disaster that has visited the anthracite
fields of Pennsylvania in the last four
years, lies over the little mining town
of Throop, three miles from Scranton,
where Y men and boys met death
Friday in the Price-Pancoast mine fire.
Sixty eight of the victims were miners
whose lives were believed to have been
snuffed out in twenty minutes by the
poisonous gases in the lowest or China
level, $50 feet below the surface.
Not content with this however, the
dread white damp seized four of the
rescuers. Walter knight, mine fore
man; Isaac Dave, fire boss; John R.
Perry, common councilman of North
Scranton, and Joseph E. Evans, FORE
man of the government mine rescue
car.
The sixty-eight miners were entomb-
ed by the first burst Of flame, and had
practically no chance of escape. The
blaze started'in the mine-hoist engine
house, constructed of wood. contrary
to the state mining regulations. The
miners on that level were at work in
the tunnel more than 1000 feet from
the shaft opening. and before they
were aware of the impending danger
the only exit was choked with flames.
1t was at this time that Knight,
Dave and Perry lost their lives. They
rushed beyond che flames toward the
miners farther in the workings and
were overcome by the fumes and died
with the rest.
The fire was placed under control late
Friday afternoon, but smoldered and
burst into flames at various times
throughout the night and Saturday: On

rescue work proceeded slowly, butsit is

In the Christian Calendar two days
stand out al honored above all other
days. One of these days commence
rates the birth of Jesus Christ and the
other commentaries his resurrection.
Christmas day is fixed date but
Easter is a movable date ranging be-
tween the 22nd day of March and the
25th day of April. The reason for. this
is that the Jewish Passover is NOV
able feast the date Of which is govern
ed by the full moon which happens up
on or next after the 21st of March.
The closing events in the life of
Christ have relation to his celebrat-
ing the Passover with his disciples, and
this has resulted in the exact date be-
ing subject each year to the same diff
ference of time as governed the Jewish
festival. Since the commemoration
was that of the rising of Our Lord
from the dead, it was decided by the
first general council of the Christian
church held at Nicea 1926 A. d.
that the day should always be Sunday
the Lords day..
The rule then is that Easter is al
ways the first Sunday after the full
moon, which happens upon or next
after the 21st of March. This makes
Easter conterminous with the passing
of winter and the coming of spring.
1t is the time Of the reviving of the
life of earth held fast for months in the
cold numbing grasp of winter.
When the Christian Missionaries
came to the Central and Northern
Europeans who were our ancestors
they found that this time was already
sacred time with them. Their reli-
gion was based on the outward pheno-
mena of nature. and very naturally
the change of the year from cold and
hardness to warmth and life suggested
the working of mighty deity. Easter
was the Goddess to whom this time
was sacred. And while the pagan
Saxons became Christians they retained
Vic H6IIlC VI I0SSCI AtNl several
which instead of ruling out, the
church took over and to which it gave
christian meaning.
Now in the Christian consciousness
has become blended the sense of hope
and joy at the Springtime and the sense
of hope in the rising of the Sun of
Righteousness. Its keynote is Life.
After winter comes spring; after dark
ness comes the fight; after death comes
life. 1t is the answer to the eternal
yearning within the human heart that
passionately resents the teaching that
man will at last rot in dreamless ease
and nothingness will have the final
rule. -
"Tis life, whereof our nerves are
scant,
Oh life, not death, for which we
pant;
