N had plenty Of suitors. but
- since there were no evidences
Of their courage she would not have
any of them. Finally, fearing that she
would die an old maid, she determined
to accept John Knowlton, fine look
ing fellow, standing six feet two In his
stockings, provided he would submit
himself to test. The next time John
came begging her to marry him she
told him that she would do so upon his
giving practical evidence that he was
no coward. He consented. and Marion
told him to spend night in the family
vault in the cemetery. John did not
feel overpleased at being called upon
to submit to such an ordeal, but he
went with Marion to the cemetery,
which was near by, and she let him
into the vault. The door, which was
an iron grating. was left unlocked, 1t
being understood that John might leave
the place whenever he wished. AS
Marion went away he stood looking at
her through the bars, and she threw
| him kiss. 81
Marion had no idea of leaving her
lover to endure his watch unmolested.
| She had other lovers, who were to par
tlcipate in the trial of courage. Ed
ward Leonard, n clipper little fellow
who was always spelling for fight,
called on her by appointment as soon
as she got home and was told TO wind
sheet about him and walk all night
back and forth past the family vault,
grooming at intervals. If he held his
ground till morning Marion would be
/ his. Leonard accepted the terms joy

One cannot touch upon the subject
Of road travel without recalling the
days of dog draft. The use Of dogs
for draft work was prohibited, so far
as London was concerned, In 1880, but
1t remained legal In the country for
another fifteen years, and l well re-
member the number Of dog carriages
and carts that piled on the Essex
highroads and lanes. They were as
common In England then as they are
in Belgium today, perhaps more COM
mon, says Walter Gibey.
All sorts and conditions of men used
dog carrlages-the small farmer to
carry his milk or vegetables to mar
ket. the tradesman to distribute his
goods, the peddler to hawk his mani
fold wares about the country, the car
rier of parcels and the poorer people
who had to cover considerable dis
tances and could not afford to keep
ponies-for sixty years ago we had not
begun to import thousands Of cheap
ponies from Russia and elsewhere.
The dog was the poor mans pony
and his most valuable ally in his bust
ness, cheaper and faster than the ass,
which to some extent replaced him.
Most of the dogs were sturdy mon.
grels, as big as n foxhound. but
stronger and more heavily built. You
might see carts drawn by two. three
or more of them. but pair, as l re-
member, was the most usual team.
With well balanced load on two
wheels, the proprietor's weight often
regulating the poise, & pair of dogs
got over the ground Mt n wonderful
pace, racing down the hills at a speed
impossible to horses.
Dog draft was abolished in defer
ence to agitation raised by people who
knew very little about the subject.
No doubt there were cruel dog own
ers. but these were the exception.

When have seen by Times fell hand de-
faced
The rich proud cost of outworn buried
age:
When some time lofty towers see down
RACED
And brass eternal slave to mortal rage;
When have seen the hungry ocean gain
Advantage on the kingdom of the shore
And the firm soil win of the watery main,
Increasing store with loss and loss with
store:
When have seen such interchange OF
state
Or state itself COMPOUNDED to decay.
Ruin hath taught me thus to ruminate-
That Time will come and take my Love
away
This thought is as a death which cannot
choose
But weep to have that which 1t fears to
lose.

~ for the observance Of Easter
Sunday, which this year falls
on April Z. The proper time for the
celebration Of this festival of the resur-
rcction of Christ was the cause of con-
trorersy in the second century between
the eastern and western churches. The
former celebrated Easter on the four
teenth day Of the first Jewish month
or moon, regarding it as equivalent to
the passover. The western churches
celebrated it on the Sunday after the
fourteenth day. maintaining that 1t
concentrated the resurrection of
Jesus. The council of Nicaea in 325
favored the western usage. Its deci-
sion, however, settled only the question
that Easter was to be held not on n
certain day Of the month or moon, but
upon Sunday.

THE PASSOVER

assemble In their homes with three

three unleavened cakes. or matzoth:
another the roasted shank bone OF a
lamb and an egg and the third n green
herb. a cup OF vinegar or salt water
and mixture of finely chopped aim

ceremonial is known as the seder, or

Judging him as one who, without
clamor or demonstration, has kept the
faith.
On September 8, 1908, Theodore
Roosevelt, then president OF the
United States, wrote letter to Con-
rad Kohrs on the issues OF the CAM
paign, and addressing himself to the
laboring men, said:
"If there is one body OF men more
than another whose support l feel

Of Secretary Taft it is the body OF
wage-workers of the country. A
stauncher friend, a fairer and truer
representative, they cannot find with
In the borders of the United States.
He will do everything in his power
for them except to do that which Is
wrong; he will do wrong for no man,
and therefore can be trusted by all
men"
The workingmen of the country
Judged Mr.. Taft in 1908 by record OF
twenty-seven years as a statesman,
administrator of national affairs and
presidential adviser, and they helped
To give him the magnificent majority
which put him In the White House.
During the three years he has been
president his excellent record has
been maintained so splendidly that
the laboring men have been confirmed
in the belief that they never had a
better friend in the White House.
