LIFE.
A day to live,
A task to do;
The time gods give
Is bright hours few.
A little play.
Some laughter. tears,
Some bitter fray,
Some barren years.
A little while
For love, for Late.
Then join the file
Through deaths dim gate.
Vain life and love?
All, no-such be
Stars fadeless of
Eternity!

Springfield, Mass, Republican.

much Of beauty has been destroyed;
beauty which would have been a
source Of pride and Joy for ages to
come. But we will not waste time In
useless regret. rather let us unite our
efforts to save what we have left.

LEAVES JAIL TO KISS 18TH BABY
Man Whom Roosevelt Congratulated Get
Respite to Welcome Another.

When W. II. Waters, go, in jail at
Cripple Creek, waiting to be taken to
the state penitentiary at Canon Wty,
where he will begin serving . term Of
ten years for abusing his children, was
told that he again was q father, the A.
rival at his home being the nineteenth
addition to his brood, he requested that
he be permitted to see the child before
departing for prison.
Accompanied by Sheriff Kingston and
Chief Deputy Shewalter, Waters went to
his home to see his latest born. To the
surprise Of both the officers and Waters,
the report that the nineteenth Waters
baby had arrived was premature. Mrs.
Waters was found in the kitchen wash
ing the dishes.
Before returning to jail, Waters had
the pleasure of seeing the baby. A ply.
sician was called, but a nurse met him
at the door and told him his services
were not needed.
The nurse then went to an adjoining
room and returned with the 20-minute-
old baby in her arms. Waters kissed the
tiny bit Of humanity and returned to the
Jail.
A few years ago Waters received a let
ter from President Roosevelt extending
congratulations on his ability to grow a
big family. Recently this has been the
one boast of Walters and he refused TO
help support the brood.

A LEGEND OF THE LILY.

The gates of the night unfolded
And seraph came down to earth,
And walked where the roots and grasse
Were striving again for birth.
'What shall I give to mortals,'
He said, ION Easter morn,
As sign of the resurrection
And the soul of man reborn?"
The snow lay deep on the churchyard
For the spring was late and cold; i
He nodded its pearly whiteness
In flowers with hearts of gold
Wonderful flaxen blossoms,
Starry and sweet and pale,
Made for the holy places
Around the alter-rail.
After the dead, dark winter,
After the shrouding SHOWS,
Still in its fragrant beauty
The Easter lily blows,
And its buds like angel fingers
Forever point the way
From the frozen clods and shadows
To the dawn of Easter day.
-Minna Irving, in Leslie's.

the year 80 of the Christian era.' Why,
then, not fix Easter once and for ali as
the first Sunday after April Z.
1t is to the council of Nicea that we
owe the perpetuation of our anarchro-
nistic method of reckoning Easter. This
council decreed that it should Be the
first Sunday after the first fun moon
that occurs after the vernal equinox,
March 81. Pope Gregory KIN under
took at that time to reform the Julian
calendar, which had been in use ever
since Julius Caesar, il 46 B. c., had pre-
scribed that year should consist Of 365
days, every fourth year having 366. This
Julian calendar was a reform of . still
more ancient system varied widely in
different lands. In Rome it had origin
ated with Romulus, who established a
year of ten months, having alternately
81 and 80 days, making 304 days in all.
Numa Pompilius added the months of
February and January, and in the year
452 B. C., the Decemvirs placed. them
where they now stand.
When Pope Gregory undertook to re-
form the Julian calendar, that had by
that time become incorrect by about ten
days, the revolution of the earth around
the sun was not yet fully understood,
SO instead of making change that
would be thoroughly scientific, the pres
ent form of year was adopted, the Julian
calendar being modified by calling Octo-

Lunar Calendar Causes Shifting
Dates for Celebration of Easter

ber 8, 1882, October l5, and by making
all terminal years of centuries, 100,
1900, 1900, etc, common years of 365
days, except when the year was multi
pie of 400, as l60O, 1000, ETC., which
should be leap years.
In those days they were so accustomed
to movable feasts that it never occurred
to the reformers of the calendar that
a day might come when their movability
should be inconvenient. They knew SO
little about the relations between the
sun and the earth that they did not
want to renounce the lunar year entirely
and so upset the order of feast days
that had from time immemorial been
based upon the movements of the moon.
Though the Gregorian calendar was is
sued in 1882, prejudice against anything
that came from Rome was so strong in
England that it was not adopted there
until by an act of parliament, passed In
1851, September 3, 1852, was reckoned as
September IA, and New Years day was
set back from March 25 to January /,
beginning with 1853.
To fix one definite date for Easter
would require a decree from the pope.
The whole Roman Catholic world and
all Roman Catholics elsewhere would at
once adopt it, and there is little doubt
that the Protestant churches would fol-
low. As it is purely religious feast,
this is all that would be necessary.
In Russia and Greece the Julian calen-
dar is still in use, so their dates are now
IL days different from ours.

look like male September Morn to

against the governor has been working
to defeat his pet measures, chief OF
which are the workmen's compensation

1t is said Governor Carlson has written
call for an extra session of the legis-
lature to convene on April IL, two days
after the date fixed by adjournment of
the present session. If it is thought to
profit in this by the expected retirement
of Senator Sam Burris of Pueblo, lead

Burris announced after the house had de-
