WEDDING IN ONE SENTENCE
How Correspondence School Graduate
Reported Event

The popularity of r. w. Howe's
writings is largely due to his employ
ment OF short sentences. You follow
his thought without effort. You
know exactly what he is driving at,
for his words, like his sentences, are
the short and common words with
which people are generally familiar
But there be times when short
word and the sentence are made
quate You cant say it that way.
Last week there was wedding at
Ada. o. The editor OF the Ada Rec
ord, recently graduated from cor
rcspondcnce school of journalism,
saw in this happy event an opportun-
ity to sling himself and he did in
these effective words: In obedience
to the universal mandate and innate
instinct which, with irresistible al
Turing magnetism is ever drawing in
TO juxtaposition the bounteous and
chivalrous, the brave and the gay,
softly and sWeetly as the song of sir
ems, but nevertheless unerringly and
eternally as the mariners compass is
ever seeking the pole, until in the pro
cesses of time two eXistences, two
lives, two individualities which have
hitherto flowed on each in its indie
pendent courses through the vicissi-
tudes OF this mundane sphere, even
as two mountain rivulets have rippled
on separately and thoughtlessly over
their pebbly beds through sunshine
and shadows until at last, escaping
from their mountain fastness, they
emerge upon the surrounding plain
to blend together in a single purling
brook destined forevermore to tray

Gaster Bird

A great deal of bird lore is linked
with the stories of the Passion. There
Is a Danish iegepl that as Christ was
suffering on the cross three birds came

"Styrlk ham! Styrik hamv' Strengthen
him. Strengthen himD, and since that
time the stork has been known as a
bird of strength and blessing. The
second. it was interpreted. cried. "Sval
ham. Sval ham!" (Refresh him! Re-
fresh himD, and the swallow vas like
wise thought to be a bird of blessing.
But the third cried. "Puen ham, CTor-
ture him!). and so from that hour the
lapwing has been accnrsed among
birds. The Swedish legend Is the same,
with the addition of a fourth bird, the
turtledove. which. flying thither, cried,
"Kyriel KyrieI' lord! LordD, and
its voice has ever since been limited to
that single word of lament.
An owl. according to the Spanish,
was so dazzled by the sunlight it did
not perceive that 1t had allghted upon
the cross. But as night came on 1t
saw and, frightened, called "Cruz!

And from that moment the owl has
kept repeating this cry and has been

"Burnino
Of Judas"
Hin Caster Rite Hmong
Crlentals

In some oriental countries among the
members of the Greek Orthodox
church a feature of the Easter fes-
tivities which is never omitted Is the
burning of an efiigy of Judas, the
faithless disciple. To show how firm a
hold the rite of Judas burning has TAX
en- of oriental Greeks the. following
story is told:
In Therapia, a suburb of CONSTANT
nople, there lived a poor Greek who
earned a scanty livelihood as a porter
or messenger or boatman. Every
Easter this man made a Judas effigy
and burnt it on his own behalf and
that of his coreligionists. The neces-
sary money was got by begging.
The Turkish authorities objected to
these proceedings on the ground of
public safety, as the burning always
took place in a small square in the
workmen's quarter, quite close to some
wooden barracks. Therefore every
year Just before Easter the good nat
ured bimbashi, the lieutenant of po-
lice, would send for the Greek, who
was well known to be ~ringleader In
the affair, and threaten him with Sc
we're punishment If he should burn a
Judas puppet. The Greek always gave
the same reply, Even If you kill me /
will burn Judas" The following year.
before Easter. the Turkish biE.0ashi
would send to the Greek again and
strictly enjoin upon him that this time
no Judas was to be burnt. But, all the
same. the Greek would get a Judas"
ready and burn him.
1t happened that the Greek had to
row over the Bosporus to the Asiatic
coast. He hesitated for some time In
view of the approaching festivals, but
finally consented on the promise OF a
good fee, his money being at a low
ebb. When he had done his business
on the Asiatic side and was getting
ready to return a storm arose, so that
it was impossible for him to risk
crossing in his little boat. He gazed
eagerly at the sky, but there was no
cessation of wind and tempest. The
day of the festival arrived, and the
Greek. taking off his clothes, made
them into an efigy. stuffed them with
leaves and twigs and there on the
lonely shore burnt his Judas, accord
ing to his usual custom. AS oon as
the storm was over Georgi, for that
was his name, returned without cloth
ing in his boat to Therapia and told
what he had done. The Turkish BIN
bashi, delighted that for once there
was no Judas burning among the wood
en- sheds of Therapia, gave Georgi new
clothes and a present of money as well.

Rhododendrons are being used extern
sively as Easter gifts. The beauty of
the flowers alone would recommend
them, but in addition they can be plant
ed out of doors in many places soon
after Easter Sunday and become part
of the shrubbery. No plants are more
gorgeous or effective. Even when not
in flower the evergreen plant is attrac-
tive. The flowers increase in size and
beauty each year. Madam Felix and
Pink Pearls are two exquisite varieties.
Others are Abraham Lincoln. Delicatis-
sima Roseum Elegans and Caractus.
The fuchsias grown in standard
shapes are attractive and make stylish
Easter gifts. Fuchsias, or lady's ear
drops, are well known plants Of easy
culture for the home or shady situation
in the garden.
Azaleas have become nearly as synon-
ymous with Easter as the lilies for
gifts. The hardy varieties are being
used more and more ut Easter time.

COTTON PRICES UP
ON SHORT COVERING
Political Uncertainties Reflected
AlsO-Market Gains Is
TO 20 Points.

There was further advance IN chs
cotton market yesterday on continued
covering. which seemed 70 be inspired
By the comparative scarcity OF con
tracts, reports OF relatively steady
Southern spot markets, and a feeling
that IL italy should enter the war u
might serve TO shorten the period OF
conflict. The buying was by 10 means
active or aggressive. but there were
very few sellers. and the.market closed
firm az net advance Of IS 20 20 points.
October contracts sold az 9.96. or $3.50
a bale above the low level reached on
the break OF a week ago last Monday.
The market opened steady az de-
cline Of / 20 3 points, with active
months selling or 5 points under
Wednesdays closing figures during tue
early trading, IN sympathy with rela-
lively easy cables. Beyond some seat
tering liquidation by recent buyers for
a rally. there appeared 20 be little or
nothing for sale. however, and the mar
ket soon turned frmer. The steady
early ruling Of the stock market may
have been factor, as the buying
seemed largely for Wall Street account,
and covering may also have been pro-
NOTED by unsettled weather in the
Southwest. Closing prices were within
a point or two Of the best level tor tho
day.
The action Of yesterdays market sug-
gested that there had been considerable
short selling on the recent decline in
the expectation that unsettled political
conditions, combined with en- improv-
ing crop outlook, would weaken South
ern spot holders. The advance Of about
90 points from the low level reached on
the break is supposed to have chiefly
reflected covering Of this interest and
general business has been very quiet
for the last few days, with the trade
waiting for ltaly's decision and for the
German reply to the recent United
States note.
Exports yesterday were only $3.50
bales, making 1893, 396 bales so far this
season, against 6,475,07l last year. In
case Italy should enter the war, 10 Is
expected that large amount Of cotton
reported TO be held in that country for
German account will not be forwarded,
but will probably become available for
Italian spinners, and may prove sufii-
cent to supply their requirements for
some time 10 come. Southern spot
markets as officially reported were un-
changed TO 10 points higher; generally
unchanged.

notes are widely scattered, quite a
large sum being held abroad.
Although il had not been dehnite!y
learned while the stock market was IN
session yesterday that the Goulds had
voted TO deposit their notes, report
circulated 10 this effect caused sharp
rise in the stock to II, compared with
1919 at the opening. The closing price
was 1914, an advance of pa points.
Based on the expectation that the ex-
tension plan will be successful, the
Missouri Pacific executive committee
which now consists of several OF the
new directors elected at the annual
meeting In March, has drawn up IN
skeleton form a reorganization plan
providing for a drastic reduction in
fixed charges and an assessment on the
the stock This plan, it was stated yes
terday, will probably be made publ
within month If the notes are extend
ed. Otherwise, a reorganization in
volving receivership will be the only
alternative.
