FOR AN OLDER CHILD
Last night the Easter tale my father
told
As we sat round:
How from the tomb the stone had
rolled.
Without a sound.
MY children. Christ arose. and from
the tomb
In triumph came;
"And scattered wide the deep. deep
OF deaths domain"
At first it sounded very hard for me
To understand;
But as he talked-how clear it came
to be.
And oh! how grand!
For then thought how all my plants
and flowers
Came from the earth;
The cold, dark earth; and in the sun
and showers
Sprang up in mirth.
And how the yellow chicks came from
the eggs
The hen had laid;
And after they had burst the shell. on
Chased through the glade.
Why yes! the resurrectlon's very plain.
love II so!

! AID. MURRAY EXPOSES DEAL IN
18TH WARD FOR GROGAN
Aid. Carl Murray's exposure of the
bipartisan deal between Barney
GrOgan, Democratic boss of the 18th
ward, and Homer K. Galpin and Aid.
w. J. Healy to elect Barney alder
man by putting John R. Lewis, a
nonentity, into the field against him
as Republican nominee, has aroused
a great deal Of discussion west of the
river.
Murray says the deal is part of a
frame-up by which followers of Gro
gan knitted John J. TOuhy last year
in favor of Aid. Healy. Murray ap-
peals to all decent voters of. all par
ties to stand back of TOuhy who is
running independently against Gro
gan this year.
Murray, in a bristling statement,
revealed the information that Lewis
is a roommate of one of Barney's
bartenders. Lewis, according to the
statement, was selected as the Gal
pin-EIealy STRAW man" The night
before election Grogan and GaIpin
ordered the Republican machine cap
tains to drag out 10 or Is Lewis votes
in each precinct and insure his nom
inatiOn. For this, says Murray, the
Republican captains were promised a
cut in" on the GrOgan campaign
barrel. In conclusion Murray says:
'The only hope Of preventing COM
plete domination of the ward by
Grogan and 'GrOganism' lies in sup
port Of the candidacy of John J. Aou-
by, the independent candidate. He
was defeated for the Democratic
nomination by the use of 1000 to
1 800 fraudulent votes and the sup
port of the Galpin-Healy machine.

came forth. Holweg and several Of
his men entered the Jail and opened
the cell door. Alone, Marie lay on her
cot, dead, her hands folded and q
smile on her lips. Though quite life
less her face glowed with a mystic
light. The men looked at her in awe.
Holweg looked about for some trace
of Bofmann. A strange heap on the
floor drew his attention. He stopped
to examine 1t. There were bits Of
cloth, a button, gold braid, human
fingers, bones and hair. AS the Ger
man touched them they shivered into

which is In size equal to the three
states Of Indiana, Illinois and Ohio,
and 1t is ten times as big as that lit

also ten times as rich as that Of The

H CELLS SECRET
BY ANNA L. HEATH.

A small body of German troops un-
der a Captain Henk occupied a little
town somewhere in France. The in
habitants had fed with the sole ex-
ception of Old Louis, a crippled cob
bier, who said he'd not leave his little
shop and garden for any number Of
Germans nor for the kaiser himself.
Henk liked this dauntless old French
man and often went to his shop to
talk.
Henk's men had been rummaging
about the town and reported to their
captain that n Of the cells in the
tiny jail was so securely closed that
it resisted all their efforts to open it
Henk went down to the Jail and Or
dered his men to force open the
door. They did 80 and found the cell
exactly like the others and empty save
for a stool and low cot.
That night Henk sat talking In the
cobbler's shop and idly asked The rea-
son for the closed cell. Louis was
evidently reluctant to explain, but
after some urging told this story to
the German:
years ago, sir, in another war,
some Of your men and an officer
named Holweg took this town. Marie,
the bestowed maid among Us, was
known to possess a military secret Of
such import that your countrymen
thought any means justified that
would wiring 1t from her. They con
fined her in that cell and daily tried
to force her to play the traitor.
Hunger, thirst, cold, threats, abuse,
brides and blows, all alike failed to
open her lips. Pale, silent and proud,
our French girl defied her foes. At
last it was thought that q threat
against her honor might avail A
young German named Berg was
chosen to pass the night In Marie's
cell. His position was most hateful
to him and he hoped from his heart
that a threat would suffice.
AT nightfall Berg entered Marfe's
cell. Morning brought him forth, pale
and trembling. Going to report, Berg
suddenly laughed wildly, drew his pis-
tol and shot himself dead. For a time
his fellows were shocked into silence.
Then Franz, a coarse, brutal fellow,
stepped forward and boosted that he
would learn the maids secret, nor
would he blow out his brains in the
telling Of 1t.
AT nightfall Franz entered Marie's
cell. Morning brought forth q raving
mailman, shrieking Of unseen horrors
and covering In abject fear. For Q
time none volunteered to investigate
further. Then Lieutenant Boifmann,
