He Was Closing Up

Pat McGinnis came over from
the old country and established
himself on a small farm. Several
years after his brother Mike came
over on a visit. Pat had been writ
ing to Mike about the great amount
of luscious fruit he had on his farm,
and it was Mikes first inquiry in
regard to this fruit, Pat, after
showing Mike through the orchard,
came to a persimmon tree, He
climbed up and threw down ripe
persimmon to Mike and asked him
how he liked it.
IT'S foine," said Mike, Give me
another"
Pat threw down another, not
quite so ripe, and Mike ate it, and
remarked that it was not so good
as the other. So Pat found very
Green fruit and said to Mike;
Here's foine wan, but to injoi
it ye should chew it quickly and
swallow it,
Mike caught the green fruit and
munched it ravenously and swal-
lowed it quickly About then Pat
heard quite a sputterinG and spit
ting, and he called to Mike as to
what was ailing him. Mike was
finally able to stammer out;
Come down, Pat, quickly, If ye
want to hear from your dear old
father in Ireland come down amad-

Happiness On The Farm

To watch the corn grow and the
blossoms set; to draw hard breath
over plowshare or spade; to read, to
to think, to love- to hope, to pray
these are the things that make man
happy. And am Utopian and en-
thusiastic enough to believe that
the time will come when the world
will discover this, 1t has now
made its experiments in every pos
sible direction, but the right one;
and il seems that it must at last
try the right one, in mathematical
necessity. 1t has tried fighting, and
preaching, and fasting, buying and
selling, pomp and parsimony pride
and humiliation-eVery possible
existence in which il could conjec-
ture there was any happiness or
dignity; and all the while, as it
bought, sold, and fought and tasted,
and wearied itself with policies, and
ambitions and self denials, Cod had
placed its real happiness in the
keeping Of the little moses at the
wayside and of the clouds of the
armament, -Ruskjn,

THE RELIABLE CLOTHING & SHOE HOUSE

under the spell or Eostre became
lovely after the winters sleep.
The Romans adopted the Saxon
Eostre as their goddess Aurora. When
the Christian fathers were naming the
feasts Of the church 1t was a wise
thought that brought the old nature
worship and the Easter resurrection
into harmony.
The Emperor Constantine, at the
beginning of the fourth century, re.
solved to fix the time Of Easter that
1t should not conflict with the Jewish
Passover. To prevent disputes, he
made the rules which were accepted at
the Council of Nice in 1926 A. D. The
twenty-first day of March was known
as the Vernal Equinox, the next full
moon was the moon of Nisan, or the
Jewish Passover, and the Lords Day
following was Easter Day. But If the
full moon happened on a Sunday,
Easter Day was the Sunday after that.
Old Easter customs, while differing
widely according to religions and To-
calities, had some things in common.
The Easter flower has always been
sacred to affairs. Today we speak Of
the Easter lily meaning the st. Jo-
seph lily, and in other parts of the
world the daffodil, or the narcissus,
or the Gala lily may be regarded as
the Easter lily
The colored Easter eggs, as gay as
the Easter flowers in the fields, are
universal. In Russia and in Paris,
and in fact today in all large cities
of the world, imitation eggs are made
Of confectionery, and jewellers go so
far as to make eggs of gold and sill
yer and to set them with gems for the
Easter trade.
Easter Symbols Universal.
The Christian church introduced
the most beautiful celebrations of all.
Easter is the inspiring feast Of the
year and its celebration means a re-
newal of faith. Even in remote parts
Of the world, where priests and their
little flocks assemble, the Easter
lights burn on the affairs and faithful
congregations sing Easter carols with
joy.
The most solemn celebration Of all
is that held in the Church of the Holy
Sepulcher at Jerusalem. Pilgrims as
semble from every corner of Christen-
dom, and ascend the Via Dolorosa
chanting prayers. Many attend the
feet-washing ceremonies, and throngs

batteries from Crittenden's division,
and with the help of their fire Nelson's
leading brigade, under Hazen, ch.rged
and captured the Confederate battery
which blocked their road forward. Two
other batteries of the enemy opened
upon HaZen, and at the same time a
brigade of Confederates charged the
intrepid ranks. In this terrific combat
the Forty-first Ohio lost 40 killed and
wounded out Of 81 in line
Crittenden's division took up the
fight on the right of Nelson. The
bloodiest combatsof this division was
in the chaparral and jungle, where
Prentiss had fought so valiantly dur
ing the bloody hours Of Sunday.
Beauregard's Last Stronghold Taken
On Crittenden's right the division
of McCook went in, headed by ROus-
seau's brigade. This brigade led the
attack on the road past Shiloh church,
where Beauregard had massed guns
and regiments to defend the line of re-
treat. Rousseau swept away batteries
and regiments and soon recaptured the
former headquarters Of McClernand's
division, in the rear of Sherman's old
camp, Beauregard's last stronghold.
Rousseau's fight was bloody and he
roic.
McCook outstripped Sherman in the
race for the old camp at Shiloh. AS
his line drew near the church the fire
became hotter. The COnfederates were
making a last stand for the free road
Of retreat Already Beauregard had
sent word along the line to withdraw,
but the rush of McCook's men threat
ened to cut off all escape.
Beauregard was compelled to retreat

His army had lost, 5000 soldiers killed
