Easfer


By Grace L. Moore, Silver Creek,
Neb. Blue Side.
Easter is a festival of the resurrec-
ton of Christ, the principal feast Of
the Christian era.
In the very early times it was OBJ
served with great solemnity. In the
church it was one of the special days
for baptism. The faithful greeted
each other with the kiss OF peace and
the salutation, Christ is risen," to
which the response was, "He is risen,
indeed"
This custom is still observed in
Russia. In the Roman Catholic
church the festivities of Easter really
begin on the preceding morning with
the mass of holy Saturday, in which
the first vcspers of Easter are in
cluded.
The use of eggs in this connection
is OF the highest antiquity, the egg

What the Fairies Tell.

By Evelyn Kuhey, Aged T Years,
Schuyler, Neb, Blue Side.
To me it seems that each little
flower should have some pretty fairy
legend and when Easter comes al
ways think of the proud lily as white
as snow with beautiful yellow pistil
and with its face looking straight up
to the clear, blue sky; too proud to
bend its lovely head to look at its little
sisters who grow around it.
The fairies tell us how the little
pansy cried out one day:
"Oh, dear lily, why are you so
proud? You never even ask any Of
us how we are feeling. Won't you
look down and see how beautiful my
colors are this morning.?
But the proud lily never needed the
little pansy.
A butterfly came along and while
resting its beautiful velvet wings on
the lily it said, Good morning, dear
lily; you are so very proud and hold
your head so high that fear to come
to visit you often. Why is it,"
Indeed am proud, l am beautiful.
would not think of bending my
pretty head for anything. wish al
ways to grow tall and stately, looking
right up to the sky. | hope | shall
never have to bend my head like
other flowers"
But the little butterfly said, "You
are too proud" and flew away.
One day it grew dark and dreary,
the lightning flashed, the thunder
roared, the earth trembled and shook,
and everything bowed its head in sor-
row, even the proud lily slowly
dropped its head, for it was filled with
grief.
When Easter morning came and
everything shone out bright and beau
tily the lily stood with its head still
bowed.

Blue Side.
Last summer in our back yard we
had two cherry trees. One day we
thought we would go out and pick
cherries, so we each took a pan and
climbed the tree. The fruit was very
large, ripe and juicy; so we all ate
more than we put in the baskets. We
picked all the cherries we could reach,
but the best ones were farther out
on the branches. stretched my hand
so far as it could go and reached
some Of them.
AS | was reaching over Mr.. Wind
played a trick on US. He pulled his
cheeks just full of wind and let it
come out right on us without a mo-
ment's warning. The tree swayed to
and fro, tipping our pans over and
all our nice cherries we had taken so
much pains at picking scattered all
over the ground.
We were very angry at Mr. Wind
for playing us such trick, but moth
ing could be done, so we got down
and picked up all we could, but we
stepped on most of them.
The next time we tried a new way.
We put the pan on the ground and
dropped the cherries in to it. But
the wind was not through with us
yet, He blew so hard that he blew
our pans over, also rocking the
branches we were on. It felt like we
we're on ship on the stormy ocean.
This time we crawled down.
Our last plan was this: held the
pan and my sister dropped the ber-
ries into it, This time we gathered
enough berries for several cherry pies,
