Sometimes that observance falls
short in the true meaning of the sea-
son that symbolizes to the Christian
a risen Lord. and hope of Immortality.
Like our Christina celebrations, the
religious side of Eastertide is Ger
shadowed by the social.
The change from the solemn peni-
tential week Just past to the joyous
ness and light and color of Easter
morn has for most Of us too little of
religious element.
Even though we join the throngs
surging the churches and revel in the
Easter flowers that bank the altars,
and Join in the Easter carols of praise,
We fall far short of realizing what a
lack of Easter would have meant to
civilization.
The world is better place to live
in because of Eastertide. Though the
spiritual side of us be but poorly devel-
oped the material should rejoice in
the blessings and comforts bestowed
by the ages-old belief in the risen
Lord.
What the world would have been
WlluOuL TldSlCi, WHdI "ohlSh Wouiu
have been we can but family imagine.
Without the hope that sprang from
that open grave in far-away Judea, life
would lack high incentive to purity,
truth and love for our neighbor.
II this were all; if with the ebbing
of life there were no hope of be
yond;" then would selfishness and
pleasure reign supreme. the law Of
might would prevail, and this world
be worse place than it is for the
poor, the sick, and the lowly.
II we cannot wholly approve Of the
worlds method of observing Easter
and the days Immediately preceding IT.,
the Easter festival with its curious OBJ
servances have an interest in that
however feebly, they draw universal
attention to the day Of the risen
Lord.
Odd points of resemblance may be
seen in many Of these observances,
and like many Of the great days Of
the church, the customs associated
with It have been drawn from pagan
worship.
Easter Is a time of Joy and gladness.
for it comes in the spring. when. ac-
cording to pagan belief. Nature awoke
from the winter death sleep and ev-
erything breathed of life and hope.
Therefore there is common note Of
Joy in Easter celebrations. whether 1t
be among the cool-headed Anglo-Sax-
on, the undemonstrative Scandinavian.
or the intense. passionate Latin races.
But perhaps nowhere is the spirit
of tho day more emphasized than in
Russia, where when at the stroke Of
midnight on Easter Eve. the priest

A HORSE ON
Mr.. WARING
THIS Time
COULD NOT SEE WHY THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT TRADED A HORSE
FOR WO0D-WHRN IT'S DUTY
WAS TO KEEP THINGS FROM
BURNING.

Members Of the city council paused
long enough in their deliberations OF
the grave matters which always arise
before that august body at each meet
ing Monday evening to swap a lame
gray horse by the name OF Rob" for
II cords Of wood
Convinced that Councilman Laflky,
who made the trade. was endeavoring
to thrust upon the fire committee the
same II cords Of wood for a bay horse
In the fire department, Councilman
Waring Indignantly arose and fought
the matter, but only to find the coun-
Gil voting on the question while he was
talking. Still convinced that the
council had traded the fire department
out Of valuable horse, and given 1t
instead II cords Of wood, for which II
had no possible use, the chairman Of
the fire committee was airing his griey
ances to the mayor when the body ad-
iourned, but the mayor, purrlngly, as
sured him-you know how the mayor
always purrs--that he was mistaken,
and that the fire department still had
the bay horse, and also II cords OF
wood.
This is how It happened
The street department has, or rath-
er had, on hand a gray horse, 10 years
Of age, which lately has not enjoyed
the best Of health. being lndlsposed
Fearing that the horse might die on
the hands of the street committee,
Councilman Lafky looked up Thomas
Cornelius, former street commission
er, and traded him the animal for II
cords Of wood. valued at $50. In
making the resolution ratifylng the
trade he,also suggested that the wood
be turned over to the fire department
for lame horse which II had in its
! possession, and which could not be
used on the street.
Just a minute shouted Council
man Warlng as he arose as the motion
was being put. The department has
no use for this wood, and, besides, Il
does not desire to trade the horse for
It, and but the rest was lost for
the councilmen were voting, and you
know how much noise councilman
makes when he votes
Anyway, the chairman Of the fire
committee evidently felt that, for all
the explanation made that ~ was a
gray horse" which was being traded,
and not a bay" one, and that he had
been buncoed. for no sooner had the
council adjourned, when he was at the
elbow OF the mayor, protesting against
the action.
Now, according to the records, what
really happened was that the gray
horse was traded for the II cords Of
wood, and they turned over to the fire
department, and, though the depart
ment has no use for II, for al that II
has the wood and also the bay horse,
which Councilman Waring thought It
had lost, and for which he made the
fight Of his life.
