Easter ECO Game.

When your friends ONE to play with
you during the Easter holidays select
a leader. The leader stands in the CEN
ter of a circle. Each player holds out
his hands, palms upward, and upon
each of them the leader places an Eas-
ter egg. The leader then goes around
the circle, catching up the eggs in turn
and trying to strike them upon the
hands that hold them.
Each one tries to withdraw his hands
before they are struck. The same lead
er continues until he is able to strike
some ones hands. whereupon the vic
tim must take his place. If ones
hands are withdrawn and the egg falls
to the ground because of a feint on the
part of the leader it is as if his hands
received the blow. At the end of the
game the eggs can be eaten.

As they drew zeal to the lily senti-
neled tomb, the one who walked ahead
raised her eyes, dark with pain, to the
open doorway, and quick wonder light
ed their depths, and she turned, whis-
pering: "Ah! Mary Magdalene, the
stone already is rolled away. He hath
done this thing"
With eager steps they left the grow
ing day and entered the darkened sep
ulcher. But as they went they say
two angels seated at the tomb, two
men with strong, glorified faces and
glad, bright eyes, and their robes were
bright as if the sunlight were shining
through. The two Marys paused, star
tied, awed by the great light.
Then the mother of Christ knelt low
and wept, but a voice thrilllngly ten
der called to her saying, woman, why
weepest thou?"
And she lifted her eyes at the words
and answered softly, Because they
have taken away my Lord, and l know
not where they have laid him."
But the voice came again, glad and
"a u ACJCfNihSs iCoA " JCy " L
know that We seek Jesus, which was
crucif1ed. He is not here, for he is

Wondering, the mother gazed, her
starry eyes searching the frightened
sepulcher. Then she rose and walked
with Mary Magdalene from the place.
Descending the path In the golden
sunlight, her gray robes brushed
against the uplifted flowers, dew
1ecked, wondrous sweet. STOPPING, she
bent her head to the shining lilies.
Live" she murmured, "as expression
of the divine beauty of the Son of
Man, as examples of his wOndrous
mercy and boundless love and as the
symbol of his resurrection. Hence
forth you shall be the flower of purity
and spiritual beauty of the holy Easter
day, of the great new life which floods

MBLEM of chastity, sweet nun of
flowers,
~ rosary of dewdrops thou dost
wear,
And thy fair head DROPS gently, as In
AS If thou ever dreamed of Easter hours.
Faith looks at thee, then turns and walks
with one
Through the dark garden of G~ethsemane.
Hears the deep groan, sees the accursed
tree,
And kneels before the s%epulcher alone.
Perhaps when Mary trod, at break Of day,
The path that led her to the empty tomb
Lilies, all white and pure, sprang into
bloom
Around the stone which had been rolled
away
Till all about the sepulcher became
A garden where celestial flowers grew,
Sweeter than all the buds that Eden knew
And fairer than the immortelles of fame.
No chimes awoke the scented eastern air.
Mankind was dumb, but nature found a
voice,
And birds and brooks with angels did re-
joice,
While the fair lily dropped her head in
prayer.
Today the bells in sweet rejoicing ring.
They tell of him who died to set US free.
They sing: 20 grave, where Is thy VIC
tory?
o death, where is thy sting-where is thy
sting?"
Today the lily blooms as sweet and fair,
With dropping head and rosary of dew;
Today Faith turns, her risen Lord to view
And all the glory of his love to share.
Nor sin nor pain nor death can e'er refill
The bitter cup he drank on Calvary.
The voice that groaned in anguish on the
tree
Seems evermore to whisper, Peace. be
STILL"
And sweet it is to feel that nevermore
Shall mortals move like captives to their
doom,
For when he rose he triumphed DER the
tomb
And cast aside the he wore.
Bloom on. sweet flower. symbolic of that
day
And of the resurrection yet to be.
May faith bloom in my soul as pure as
thee
Till griefs shall fad and tears be wiped
away.

Following out his plan to oppose ar
bitrary increases in salary, the execu-
tive disapproved of the pay increase
for the deputy chief inspector and the
other inspectors in the state motor We
hicle department. The governor be
lieves that the salary increases should
be placed on a graduated scale and be
controlled by the length of service Of
an employee.
The commission to investigate the
condition of the state institutions other
than the prison, reformatory and girls
and boys homes has been named by
the executive under the provisions of a
joint resolution. The members are E.
P. Earle and Hugh n. Bethel of Mont
clair. Daniel e. Pomeroy of Englewood,
Frederick X. Faulkes of Elizabeth and
Theodore F. Merseles of Jersey City.
The inquiry will be made under the
companion measure for the prison in
quiry commission.
Organized opposition to the Edge
state road tax law is to be prepared at
a meeting in Newark next Tuesday.
The law, imposing a levy of 81 a year
for FIVE years on each $1,000 of prop
erty, is disliked by residents, particu-
larry in the northern part of the state,
and the session in Newark will be
made up of representatives of public
officials, civic and building and loan
associations. Assemblyman Geran, mi
nority leader, who fought the bills in
the legislature, has promised to attend.
Notice of the meeting reads in part as
follows:
This road legislation attempts to
impose a tax of 81 on each $1,000 of
valuation. 1t is the most unreasonable.
outrageous tax ever attempted in this
state. Five counties will be obliged to
pay nearly three-quarters of the $15,-
100000 to be raised for roads, and
nearly all of this sum will be spent
outside of these counties.
Newark, for instance, is asked to
pay oyer $4,000 900 and will not re-
ceive a cent in return. Other munich
palities in the five counties will be
asked to pay in proportion and will not
receive anything in return. We all
want good roads in New Jersey, but a
direct tax is not necessary. The state
can issue bonds, as provided in the
Egan act of last year, and the cost of
carrying these bonds can be taken
from the automobile fees collected by
the state"

- OSILY dawned the day In the
far east. On the shore the cool
waves broke gently, luttering
foamy drops on the yellow
sand. Away from the water among the
rocky stretches of green, lilies bloomed
slender and tall, white with cups curv-
ing to catch the Grant little breeze
which carried their sweetness beyond
the hills. In the stony crevices wild
flowers glinted out from dew wet
leaves. Half hidden by pale lily blooms,
a dark stone guarded the entrance to
a cave among the rocks.
Early in the dawning Sabbath glow,
two women, gentle voiced and sorrow
ing, came slowly down the lowered
path, bearing in their arms perfumed
napkins and precious spices in carved
boxes. They were clad in flowing gray
garments. and their heads were bent in
meek weeping.

executive killed them. This action d
equivalent to a veto, but as the legisla.
ture is not here to receive messages
they were filed in the library. One bill
affected was by Assemblyman Morgan
and lowered the population within a
judicial district from 100000 to 10000
to provide for the appointment of an
assistant clerk in the district court
The governor says he believes that
100000 is low enough for the require
ment of two clerks to such a court.
In refusing to sign the bill by Sena
tor Allen providing that all money paid
into the state treasury by the Fish and
Game Commission shall constitute sep
arate funds the governor said he is op
posed to the policy of state depart
ments receiving and disbursing theii
income. 1t is his belief this money
should go to the treasury and be ap
%propriated in regular budget form.
The Hates bill. permitting the pur
chase or lease of a building for the use
of the volunteers of the civil or Span
ish wars by any municipality, also
goes to the morgue. The executive ex.
presses the opinion that under the
"home rule" legislation of this year q
municipal government would have the
power to appropriate for the building
He also points out that although only
one veteran lived in the municipal dis.
trict and a large majority in adjoining
towns, the Hates act would apply.
One measure which was the cause OF
lengthy discussion was that by Mr.
Allinson allowing cities to appropriate
500 for each 10000 of population for
the support and education of the indi
gent blind. This act appeals to me as
unwise legislation the governor com
ments.
