OLD-TIME casters
Festivals and Tales From the
Pulpit Were Looked Forward
To by the People.

N OLDEN days, religious and secu-
/ lar amusements joined, the church's
festivals were the peoples only holi-
days, the church itself the only theater
and the monks the actors. Throughout
the year they gave miracle plays suit
ed to the season, illustrating some
Bible story, and at Eastertide realis-
tic representation of the resurrection
was performed. When the play was
over the monks watched all night be-
side the tomb, for there was wide
spread belief that Christ's second COM
ing would take place on Easter morn
ing. In fact, this practice was con-
tinued until the Reformation.
1t was also the custom up to the
eighteenth century for the priest to tell
an Easter tale" from the pulpit, to en-
liven the people after the gloom of
Lent. Here is an example: A black
smith and his wife who had offered
hospitality to a stranger found that
they had entertained an angel un-
awares. On leaving he offered to grant
any request they might make. The
wife asked to be made sure of heaven,
whereupon the guest replied that she
had but to look into her mouth to be
certain of that since it was clear that
she could not go to the place where
there was weeping and gnashing OF
teeth The smith, more worldly mind
| ed, asked: First, that whoever climbed
into his pear tree would not be able
to get down without his consent; sec
ondly, that whoever sat down on his
anvil CT got into his flue should be un-
able to move without his permission;
and, thirdly, that he might never be
parted from his old green cap. The
angel rebuked him for such requests,
but promised to grant them, and de-
parted.
Twenty years later, Death came
knocking at the door. William the
Smith received him politely, and
begged him to climb into the pear tree
and wait while he made ready to ac-
company him. The grim guest COM
piled, and, once there, the old man
would not let him down till he had
bargained with him for another twen-
ty years of life. At the conclusion of
this period the unwelcome visitor ap-
peared again, ana the smith asked him
TO sit down OH his anvil for few mo-
ments while he settled his affairs. He
did so, and once again found himself
at Williams mercy, who would not let
him go till he had been granted a
further lease of life.
When this last term was up the
devil himself came for his victim. But
the willy smith worked on his vanity,
said he had heard Of his power as a
worker of miracles, and asked If he
could, for instance, make himself small
enough to creep into the flue. Anx-
Ious to show of, the enemy of man
kind did so, and once there the smith
took him to the fire and hammered
him till he was glad to sue for mercy
On any terms, and willingly granted
him another twenty years Of life.
At the end Of these, the smiths
guardian angel came for him and took
him to the gate Of heaven, but Peter
refused him admittance. He then
threw his green cap in over the wicket,
and, in accordance with the angels
promise, was allowed to enter and re-
main with it.

Washington, April 17.-Champions
of q government hydro-electric plant
to produce nitrate for the manufac-
ture of war munitions and fertilizer
won their fight in the senate on Friday
by inserting an amendment proposing
an appropriation Of $l5.OO0,0OO for that
purpose into the Chamberlain army

AS the nitrate plant section in the

The action was based on an amend
ment by Senator Smith of South Caro-
lima. 1t would provide for the sale Of
Panama canal bonds by the govern
ment for raising the required $15,OO0.-
900 and the president would be au-
thorized to designate not more than
five water power sites to make them
available for power plants to manu-
| facture nitrates. Products of these
plants not needed for manufacture Of
munitions of war would be sold for the
manufacture of fertilizer and other
useful products"
Senator Wadsworth urged adoption
of his amendment to require officers
and enlisted men upon entering the
National Guard to take an oath to
obey the orders, both of the president
and of the governor of their state.
On a roll call for the proposal the
vote was 23 to %, less than a quorum,

At the present time about 1900, 900
acres are devoted to the raising of
fax, chiefly in North Dakota, Mime
sofa, South Dakota and Montana.
The fax is grown primarily for the

factured. The annual crop amounts
to about 2O,0O0,O0O bushels of seed
and is valued at approximately $780,

imately 100000 tons of straw, but of
this only about 100000 tons are put
! to any profitable use.
