1t Is matter of surprise to MS
that a paper of the tone and caliber
of the Miami Herald should seek 10
extensively spotlight Governor
Trammel because he fixed Friday,
April 10, as the date for the execu-
ton of Clarence DAILY, that dav be-
ing Good Friday The governor set
that date weeks ago and it is doubt
less true that when he did so not
one man out of a hundred in Flor
ida, the clergy excepted, knew that
it would be Good Friday. If the
Governor was ignorant of it, he was
in plenty of good company. and had
his attention been called to the mat
ter in time by Miami directors he
would probably have set another
day But for our part. and speaking
IL all reverence, We see no reason
why Good Friday is an inappropri
ate day to impress upon the Grim
inal class the useful lesson of obed
fence TO law as taught by a LEGAL

ORIGIN OF THE
DYEING OF EASTER EGGS

One Easter morn long years ago
When ! was six years old,
My mother drew me to her knee,
And this sweet legend told:
Above the tomb where Christ was
Two robins had their nest,
And crouching down with fear dis
mayed,
The wife bird hurt her breast.
a thorn with cruel sting
Had nearly pierced her side,
And the little eggs beneath her
wing,
With crimson drops were dyed.
The mate that sat beside her
Was mute with bitter woe;
IT could not sing it's carol song
When Christ was lying low.
But on the dawn on Easter morn
The end Of three sad days,
4 burst of glorious song broke forth,
A carol to Gods praise.
Christ had risen from the dead,
Spread joy Ger all the earth,
And the little robins in their nest
On Easter had their birth.
And this is the sweet reason why
Since Christ rose from the dead. |
The Easter eggs We're always dyed |
And the robins breast is red.
Mrs. Lucy Alexander, Lakeland.

OF course it is not right for any
man to run for Congress on a plat
form expressly to promote the inter-
ests of certain class. The mere
statement of such a purpose is his
condemnation, hence Mr.. Denton
as the candidate of the commission
men in the Second district is not
likely to give Frank Clark much
trouble. The Ocala Star says:
The great majority of the grow
ers and commission men transact
their business with mutual profit
and satisfaction. There is no more
dishonesty between them than in
other branches of business, and Con-
gress is not any more likely to in
terfere than it is to mediate between
the average citizen and his grocer.

The Inverness Chronicle criticizes
the Tallahassee True Democrat be-
cause the latter prints more matter
about Florida fruits and vegetables
than Florida politics and politi-
clans. Rather should you commend
the Tallahassee paper on that ac-
count, Major Butler, for the great
cause of fruits and vegetables in
our State, and how to increase their
production has more to do with the
upbuilding and prosperity of Flor
ida than the cause of our politicians
and how to increase their already
overlooking output.

From MANY Lands

On the basis Of a late census, it
is stated that 95 per cent of the chill
dren of school age in Japan are at
tending their educational institu-
lions which are up-to-date in every
respect. And not only is there a
widespread popular educational
movement. but also it extends d.
rectly along religious lines. For in
stance, we are told that 10000 ia
panese students are now making def
mite preparations for the Buddhist
priesthood.

to the Confederate reunion fund are
coming in so rapidly now that there
IS no longer any doubt that the re-
quired sum will be raised in ample
time. Whatever unpleasant criti-
cism has been directed against
Jacksonville from outside sources in
this matter has been because of
statements in the press of that CITY

that the danger of a "huke" has

EUO Members
..ccording to report from S. G..
Brinkley of Soochow University,
American biscuits are very popular
and are frequently served at social
functions. Mr.. Brinkley also gives
some very interesting information
regarding the work in that splendid
institution. He says:
'''ishe college Y. NJ. c.. A. gave
a reception TO the new students last
Friday night. The association this
year has an enrolment of 200, many
of whom, however, are only associ-
ate members. Practically the whole
student body was out at the recep-
ton The program given was quite
a combination Of Chinese and for
eign music, stories, etc. Even the
refreshments were a combination
also. There were Chinese candies
and then plain, ordinary biscuits,
which seem to be considered a lux
ury by the students, as they are al
ways served as the foreign part of
a course of refreshments.
Mr.. Eau, one of the brightest and
best of the young Chinese teachers,
has been given leave of absence for
attending the general conference.
He will soon start for America and
will probably do some studying
while here to further equip himself
for useful service for the Master in
'hina. He is an earnest Christian
md wonderfully fine spirited man.

A CONTEMPLATE CUR

To express even in a feeble manner
the loathing that is generally felt
for certain individual in Elko and
his damnable penchant for poisoning
dogs would require language that
would not only eliminate a newspa-
per from the mails, but would render
it unfit for decent people to read.
Suffice to say, then, that the dog
poisoner is abroad again and last
week more than half a dozen dogs
died at his hands. But the methods
of dealing death is somewhat
changed. Heretofore strychnine was
used, but recent examinations of the
stomachs of several dogs, made by
DR.. J. d. Griffin, reveal the fact that
ground glass was used.
Should the eye of the brutal cur
who is responsible for these acts fall
upon this item, we want him to
know that he is either a monster in
human guise that will require a mil.
lion years of evolution to raise his
moral sense to the level of a maggot
in the putrid carcass of a skunk, or
he is cowardly maniac who shoald
be shackled and thrown into a dun
geon where human beings might for
ever forget him.
It is to be hoped that he may yet
be apprehended and dealt with in
the manner he so richly deserves
