The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-04-06

It is true we must meet boldly but need not meet them half way. Most misfortunes are but blessings in disguise
 It is only time show good from evil in the many happenings of this work-a-day world.
 We are like little children frightened with dream when might open eyes to find all is well.
 Life is not easy. We all learn that if really live. But we make it mech harder than might be by mis- understandings.
 Blessings in disguise still happen Crosses that are of life still being borne, up lfe's calvary.
 We make most of those bear and the fault if they are heavy.
 It is selshness that makes burden heavier for it is nearly always self pity which makes most mournfu
 When troubles actually come-the kind you can't get away romt is time to be brave for the sake of ohers
 Suppose your heart is heavy-have you any right to lay it's burden another?
 Do you not know that where love is, unselfshness must be?
 That does not mean that you may not talk of your troubles with those that love Surely half of love is in sharing the problems of life together.
 It to face bravely all that life brings, ahd bear bravely what can not be helped.
 Misfortunes can be lived down--but half the we label msfortes but clouds that have silver lining
 Don't shirk your troubles, but think also of your blessings if you would be happy

AN ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP BRIDGE
 AT JUAREZ FAILS
(Special from United Press.)

Especial from United Press.)
 El Paso, Tex, April 6-Following two attempts during the night to blow up the Mexico Northwestern Railroad bridge between Juarez and El Paso, American soldiers have been posted in the center of the Interna. tional Bridge connecting the two cit ies and during the night their orders were to shoot providers after challenge to stop had been disregarded. Two heavy charges of blasting powder were exploded under the railroad bridge on the Mexican side, damaging but not destroying it. Immediately following the discharge, cries of "Viva Madero'' were heard.
 Juarez authorities refused to allow street cars from Ell Paso to enter the town after the explosion.
 Advices, today, declare that, fol- lowing the taking of Parra1 by the rebels, yesterday, a campaign of footing was started by some of the rebel soldiers which was stopped by General Salaar, who executed two of the looters.
 Pursuit of General Villa, the federal leader, who it has been learned had only 500 men to defend Parral against 5000 rebels proved futile. He is SUD- posed to have retreated to Torreon.

FESTIVAL OF EGGS AND HATS
 OBSERVED IN MANY LANDS,

Throughout the Christian WOrlo, and missionaries in many heather celebrated tomorrow. A happy day for all, it has come to be especially joyous for the dealers in eggs and millinery, who have been reap1ng their richest harvest of the year. 1t will be a gloomy day for the weather sharp, however, if he fails to pro- duce the brand of weather best suited to the proper display of milady' S gorgeous Easter rafment.
 The custom of donning "glad rags on Easter probably dates from the Spring festivals of the ancients, in which they celebrated the resurrec- tion of vegetable life and the coming of the grass, flowers and other pleas ant things such as grow in parks and florists windows. An old couplet dat ing back to the fourteenth century proves that the Easter bonnet is an ancient institution:
 At Easter let your clothes be new,
 Or this be sure you it will rue.
 That isn't very good poetry, but it of the milliner and the dealer in wearing apparel. And why not? Since all the world is blossoming, should not we blossom, too? Easter is the Spring poem of old Mother Earth, and those who criticize the personal
  railing against one of the primal in- stincts of nature.
 Every community has it's distinctive way of observing Easter aside from the purely religious ceremonies. Tn New York the spectacular feature is the millinery parade" along Fifth avenue, after the church services. From all over the United States and Canada tourists invade New York to see or take part in the Easter pro- cession, and, in the matter of fem mine finery, it is a sight to behold, and, as the circus bills say, worth travelling many miles to see" It is nothing short of tragedy when the old pagan Jupiter Pluvius turns on the water works during the parade hours
 Strangest of all the Easter observ- ances in the United States are those of the Moravian sect at their com munities in Pennsylvania, Indiana and North Carolina. The Moravians begin the day at 2 a. m., parading and sing ing of the resurrection of the Christ At the services in the churches the music is furnished by trombone quar- tettes. Then follows the procession to the graveyard, where all the graves are covered with flowers
 The ancient missions in Southern California are scenes of quaint rites in which the Mexicans and Spaniards participate, the continuation of a weeks observance. In the Philip pines Easter is the greatest day of the year. Processions bearing the cross, the Christ and the Virgin pass up and down the streets. In some interior towns an image of a brown Christ, in the likeness of the Fili- pinos, is used, since the natives re- fuse to accept a Savior not fashioned like themselves.
 Rome, of course, is the great cen- ter of Easter observance, tens of thousands Hooking to the Eternal City from all over the world Lon don, too, is noted for it's celebration of Easter and it is a bad day, in deed, when St. Pauls and the various churches are not crowded to the ut termost of their capacity

BUTTER PROBE
 NEXT ON LIST
Miss Beck, a Federal Employe, Has Been Sleuthing For
 Government in Chicago

Chicago, April 6.-Criminal prose cution by the federal government of the Chicago butter and egg board and the Elgin board of trade, was report ed yesterday, as the aim of an in- veougation being conducted here through agents of the department of commerce and labor. The proceed ings are expected to be under the provisions of the Sherman lsw, and will be distinct from a civil case, now pending.
 Special interest attaches to the new attempt to keep down the cost of home necessities, for in this instance the government, for the first time, will depend to a considerable extent on evidence obtained by a woman. She is Miss Ida Beck, federal em- ploye, who was specially detailed for the purpose. All grades of butter were marked up today cent a pound except for packing stock, which was lifted a half-cent.
