Garden Of Getbsemane
site of the garden of Geth.

~HE site of the garden of Geth-
semane. on the western slope
of Oliyet, has been recently In
closed-there is about a third Of an
acre-and is maintained by the Fran
ciscans. Eight olive trees of very great
age are among the interesting features
of the garden. aud it is thought, with
some probability, that they may have
sprung from the roots of those which
were there In the name of our Lord.
Three special sites are shown to
travelers-the one known as the Chapel
of the Agony. In q cave. and revered
by the early pilgrims. the placs where
the three disciples slept and the spot
where Judas gave the kiss of betrayal.
The last two are not mentioned by the
early c%hroniclers and have possibly
been added at a much later date.
In an age when few could read and
write and when there were no con-
yenient guidebooks sites and objects
were pointed out quite innocently as
memorials of the details in the story
which pilgrims were following. 1t
must be remembered that vast num-
bers of pilgrims today-especially Rus
sians-cannot read and expect to see
marked the exact spots of the gospel
incidents. When a simple minded peas
ant has Travelled hundreds of miles to
see the holy places and is shown the
cen of the denial Of st. Peter he will
undo btedly expect to be told where
the cock crew.

Easter Lilies on the Dinner Board

Select a potted Easter lily that is not
too tall and has three or four blooms
for the center of the table, covering the
pot with crinkled green paper. BY pull
ing the upper edge a ruffied effect can
be produced. Around this group four
ported daffodils or four small glass
vases of cut daffodils. Between these
vases place tall glass or brass candle
sticks with very tall white wax can
dies, u%nshaded. The lily should be
highest, lighted candles next and vel
low daffodils still lower. The effect is
simple, springlike and charming.
At each place have a tiny basket for
sailed nuts made of yellow and green
Grape paper to resemble a daffodil.
These are easily made. the green petals
around the yellow cup being made to
lie on the table. furnishing a place to
print the name.

Eqqs at Easter.

The use of eggs at this season is I'M
doubtedly symbolical of the r~evivifica-
ton of nature, the rebirth of life in
spring. From the Christian point of
view this feast of eggs has usually
been considered emblematic of the
resurrection and of a future life. But
the custom is not confined solely to
Christians, as Jews use eggs in the
feast of the Passover, and we are told
that the Persians. when they keep the
festival of the solar new year in March,
present colored eggs to one another.

What We See In Easter.

We see in Easter not merely a me-
mortal of a long gone past, but a wit
ness to the truth that the grave is al
ways empty, that the living are never
to be sought among the dead and that
a divine presence ever walks the earth,
the companion now, as then, of those
whose eager questioning needs answer
and whose earnest but perhaps almost
d~espairing hope needs inspiration which
only He "a give, says the Rev. DIR.
Lyman Abbott.

BURNING OF JUDAS.
Ancient Easter Custom Observed Near
C~onstantinople and In Bavaria.

Constantinople and In Bavaria.
Judas puppets are burned every veal
at Easter by the Greeks living in the
little suburbs and towns surrounding
Constantinople-or were so burned be-
fore the outbreak of the great war
as well as in certain villages in the
highlands of Bavaria. The custom was
eve practiced during the first half of
the last century in the German city of
Cologne, where there are many Catho-
lies.
Evidently this custom was brought
from Cyprus. the copper island. in the
wake of the export trade of pig cop
per, copper ingots and copper nipple
ments along the great commercial
highways and water communications.
such as the Danube, the Elbe, the Mol
dava, Pruth. Dnieper and Dniester,
reaching by this intercourse various
countries of middle and north Europe.
For the human sacrifices practiced dur
ing the age of heathendom In Cyprus
foreigners were especially selected, as
handed down to US by ancient writer's.
Perhaps some tradition may have
been kept and may count as well for
one Of the reasons why the Christians
of Cyprus introduced into their Easter
festivals the burning of the Judas eff
gy, often dressed as a foreigner, a
habit which the extremely conserva-
tive Cypriotes preserve down to the
present day.

Old Easter Customs.

The English people formerly had two
very large cakes divided among the
congregation at the church on Easter.
In 1915 parliament forbade this by
law, providing that the money spent
for cakes should in future be used to
buy bread for the poor.
At Easter let your clothes be new
Or else be sure you will 1t rue.
The boys in the north of England
will tell you hat if you do not put on
something new on Easter day some
misfortune will hefall you.
Underneath most Easter customs and
carols lies tie symbol of Christ's resur
rection.

For the Caster Gable

BLOWERS should be the dominant
note in all Easter decorations,
and as Easter Is late this year
bulb blossoms from our gardens, If we
have gardens, can be relied on to
make the Easter table beautiful. Don't
be content with flowers only OF the
dinner table. Have them at breakfast
to begin the day with. A tulip at each
plate gives a festive appearance to the
table.
One of the pretty place cards for the
Easter dinner makes use of the pussy
willow. Draw the outline of a cats
head on a small card and paste q fat
pussy willow in position for the cats
body. Then draw a tail and some legs
and you have al amusing card. Rab-
bits can be made in the same way,
with the pussies from a branch of pus-
sy willows for the bodies. Sometimes
q big pussy can be used for the body
and a smaller one for the head, and
the pussy cat or rabbit Is the softer
and furrier.
A table decoration that would ap-
peal to children is this: Bank white
and yellow flowers in the center Of the
table. At each place have d small
basket full of candy eggs. Attach rib
bons for traces to the basket, and In
the traces put a tiny toy white rabbit
for a horse. Perch a fluffy yellow
chick on the edge Of the basket for a
driver. Have all the baskets facing In
the same direction, and the effect will
be quite attractive.
y y r
Pretty cards show little chickens or
rabbits drawn in outline and then filled
IN with ink in the manner of silhou-
cites. These are drawn very easy to
make and are quite effective.
b. r.
At dinner a long stemmed daffodil
with the place card tied TO the stem
with a bit of narrow pale green or
yellow ribbon is quite effective. The
centerpiece can be formed of daffodils.
If there is no objection to a high cen
terpiece the daffodils can be placed
with plenty of green in a rather tall
vase, or else they can be propped up
I'm a low, fiat dish by means of the
japanese bulb standards that can be
bought at any japanese shop. If a
low centerpiece is desired, the stems
can be broken off and the daffodils
a be banked in a bed of moss.
p
Yellow, green and white seem pre-
eminently the Easter colors for table
decoration, but any other pale color
a be used. Sometimes family pink
tulips can be used with good results.

Easter Dessert.

Should your dessert be an ice choose
yellow (orange) or green mint or pis-
tache). The mint ice is delicious and
very pretty. Serve one jonquil on the
plate beside its cool green color for the
ladies and a tiny b%outonniere of violets
for the gentlemen.

Boy Accidentally Shot.

Chauncey Nightingale, IA year
old West Hill boy, while out in the
timber southwest of town Sunday, in
company with a boy companion, was
wounded by the accidental discharge
OF a .22 calibre rifle he was carrying,
the ball entering his right foot below
the ankle, and ranging downward
and forward came out of the foot
back of the small toe. He managed
to get to the road where a passing
team took him to the home of Frank
Jones from which Paul Jones brought
the wounded boy home in his car
and a physician was called to attend
him. The wound is quite painful
and probably will keep the boy out
Of school for some time and give him
plenty of leisure time to reflect on
the danger and wickedness of good
little Sunday school boy violating
the moral and state laws by hunting
on the Sabbath day.-Lineville Tri-

Telephone Operators Have Surprise
Party.

One Of the most complete sur
prises was worked on Miss Anna Nc
Daniel of the Leon telephone ex-
change, last Friday evening. When
leaving the office about nine O'Clock
she was requested by Mrs. Sears to
look into an adjoining room for her
son Harold, and not finding him
there she looked into another room.
Quietly opening the door she discov-
cred some of the other operators sit
ting very still, and thinking they
were going to play joke on Mrs.
Sears she closed the door saying Har-
old was not there. Suddenly the
door opened and. to her surprise there
sat beautifully decorated table
with all kinds of good things to eat
and all the girls trying to tell her
at once it was for her. Finally con-
vincing her, they gathered around
the table and proceeded to enjoy
themselves, VIM. Pottorff taking
charge of the switchboard, while the
girls spent very pleasant hour and
half. Miss Anna was presented
with q beautiful bible as a token OF
remembrance of the two years spent
in the exchange. Miss Anna resign
ed her position Nov 18th, expecting
to leave in a short time for an ex-
tended visit with her sister, Mrs. j.
NJ. Brown at Coy, Oklahoma, other
points in Oklahoma and Kansas.
Those present were Mrs. Sears,
Jennie Blackburn, Orpha Pottorff,
Mrs. Maud Gelatt, Alice Gittinger
and Ruth Beavers.

DEAD SIX YEARS POLLS HEAVY
VOTE.
Hiram Duncan Runs Good Race for
Representative.

/ A peculiar feature developed in
Taylor county politics on Tuesday,
when many voters cast their ballot
for the office of representative in IA
vor of Hiram Duncan, who, according
to reports, has been dead for years.
Whether the name was placed on
the ballot merely as a joke on the
part of some over Jealous voter at
the primary is not known, but when
the returns came in late last June it
was found that some one had voted
for Duncan for representative and
County Auditor Hughes was forced to
place his name on the ballot, even
though it was known that he was
not alive.
Little thought Of the event was ex-
pressed, but when the returns COM
menced to come in Tuesday evening
it was found that duncan was polling
an unusually heavy vote for one who
had not been considered as a posi-
bility. When the final vote was count
ed it was discovered that he had poll
ed total in the county of 1246-
Bedford Times Republican.

Hall-Alley.

One of the prettiest weddings oi
the season took place Saturday even.
ing, Nov. 4th, when Miss Gladys
daughter of Mr.. D. B. Alley, was
united in marriage to Mr.. David W.
Hall. The marriage was solemnized
at the Christian church at 8 o'clock.
The church was adorned with vel
low and white chrysanthemums and
white wedding bells. The arch un.
der which the bridal pair stood was
artistically covered with yellow and
white smilax Preceding the cere-
mony very appropriate selection
was rendered on the piano by Mrs.
Hugh Scott and Mrs. Georgia Col
Inns sang, Thou Art So Dear"
The bridal party entered to the
strains of LOhengrin's wedding
march. The ring ceremony was used
which was very impressive and beau
tiful.
The bride wore a gown of pink
| silk over white satin and carried a
bouquet of white roses and lilies of
the valley. The matron of honor,
Mrs. Carleton Lawhead was dressed
in pink satin and carried a bouquet
of yellow chrysanthemums. The
bridesmaids, Misses Grace Oden,
Mildred Wilson, Blanche Cain and
Fern Melvin OF Leon, carried out the
color scheme by wearing white and
yellow and carried white and yellow
| chrysanthemums.
Immediately after the ceremony a
reception was held at the home of
the brides father, and here also ev-
erything was prOfusely decorated
with white and yellow. Refreshments
Of orange ice, angel food cake,
chocolate, coffee and waters were
served.
The out of town guests were Mr..
Peter Hall of Labette; Kansas, faith
er of the groom, Mrs. Carlton Law
head of Mt. Ayr, Iowa, Rev. and Mrs.
Henry Esch, Misses Josephine Coder
and Fern Melvin of Leon, Iowa, and
Miss Waive Neal of Des Moines, Iowa.
r The bride and groom thought they
would give their friends surprise
and while the guests were still in the
dining room partaking of the re-
freshments the newly-weds stole
from the house and across the back
yards to the home of DR.. Evans who
had his car in readiness and were
soon on their way to Princeton to
get an early train to Kansas City.
They were soon missed and a. crowd
of the young folks followed and kept
them in the New Fullerton Hotel
until too late to get away Sunday
afternoon. Thinking they were being
watched they took car from Prince
ton from the back door of the hotel
and were taken to Mercer where they
boarded a train for Kansas City.
When the train arrived in Prince
ton the crowd boarded the train also
and gave them the ricing they de-
served, and then went with them as
far as Mill Grove, wishing them a
very pleasant journey and predicting
a very interesting Homecoming
