THOUGHTS OF EASTER

Death is strong but Life is stronger;
M Stronger than the dark the light;
Stronger than the wrong, the right;
Faith and Hope triumphant say,
Christ will rise ON Easter Day.

Christ hath arisen o mountain peaks, attest
Witness, rcsounding glen and torrent wave!

Sprung from that vctory-tell how oft the brave
To camp midst rock and cave,
Nerved by those words, their struggling faith
have borne,
Planting the cross ON high above the clouds OF
morn. Mrs IIcmans.
! think of the garden after the rain;
And home to my heart comes singing,
At morn the cherry blooms will be white,
And the Easter bells be ringing.

to locate their son. Mr.. Malloy pre-
pared informations against Tom Gill
crease a wealthy young Indian OF
Tulsa. who was charged with having
planned the kidnapping. The informa-
ton, however, was never filed, the
county attorney having decided upon
what he thought was a better plan OF
action.
GllCrcase Gave the Tip.
Calling Gilcrease into his office the
day before the case was to come up in
the district court inwhichGilcrease
was applying for a receiver for his oil
properties. alleging that he was being
defrauded by his business partners and
lawyers.
Mr.. Malloy told him that he was to
either divulge Covey's whereabouts or
suffer arrest on serious charge. Gill
crease broke down and admitted, ac-
cording to the county attorney that
Covey was at the Lyons hotel in Lon
don. England. in charge of a man
named Swovelin. Gilcrease promised
the county attorney that he would re-
turn Covey to oklahoma just as soon
as he could get him here. and soon
afterward he is said-to have mailed
letter to Swovalln. telling him to come
back to America with his charge.
Planned TO Avengc Wrong.
At this conference Gilcrease de-
clared that the principal reason for
kidnapping Covey was to avenge a
wrong he declared had been done him
by Edward Egan. another oil man OF
Tulsa. who. he claimed. was also anx-
ious to procure the Covey lease. Gil-
crease admitted. however. according TO
the county attorney. that he intend
ed getting Covey's signature No "A
lease on his Glenn Pool allotment as
soon as the youth became OF legal age.
When the county attorney became
satisfied that Gilcrease was acting in
good faith and would really bring
Covey back to his home. he notified
the parents of the lad that they need
have no further fears. and did not
begin prosecutions against anyone.
Confident He VIII Appear.
1t is still feared by some that Covey
will not arrive here as reported, but
the majority OF those interested In the
case feel confident that the youth will
be in Oklahoma today or tomorrow.

~ PIKENARD and flankinccnsc and myrrh,
And spices savory and sweet,
They brought into the sepulcher,
TO lay them at the wounded feet.
Their precious gifts their hands between
They came in that first Eastern dawn;
And she who was called Magdalene
Before the other hastened on
But at the door the spices slipped
From hands upraised in reverence,
And to the ground unheeded dripped
Spikenard and mylrhr and frankincensc.
With finger ON her lips she turned,
And in whisper tense with awe;
With eyes that in their rapture burned,
She told the glory that she saw.
The tomb aglow with holy light,
radiant one of gentle voice.
Whose lustrous wings were jewel bright;
Whose lips made music, thus: ''Rejoice!
Your hearts no more need shelter fear
And one sat where had been his head,
Who said to them: "IIe is not here,
For He has rsen as he said.
Then, turning back upon their way,
They set their feet; and then the sun
Flung from its arms the Easter Day,
AS bright as was that shining one.
And she that was called Magdalene.
