Harry's Easter Present

It was Holy Saturday, the day be-
fore Easter. and Harry and Peter
were looking for work. AS they
walked along the street Peter sud
denly spied a sign in window
across the street which said, boy
wanted"
They saw several boys entering
the building. Lets go over and
try" said Peter. So away they went.
When they entered the office.
they found a long line of boys wait
ing their turn. Harry took his place
at the foot of the line, but Peter
pushed his way to the front, and
pushing another out of the line,
took his place.
When it came his turn, the man
said NO" and waved him away.
AS Peter passed Harry, on his
way out. he said, ooh. come on. No
use waiting"
"I'll wait a little longer 1t will
soon be my turn" said Harry.
And when it was his turn the
man said, yes Come this after
noon at one o'clock"
When the boys were all gone, the
mans friend said. "How did you
select that boy and not any of the
others?"
WELL" the man said. 'Ill tell
you. A boy who is to go out and
solicit orders for me must be neat,
Ohliping and nolitp"
Eyes, of course said his friend.
"But you know nothing of this boy.
He may be just the opposite"
"On the contrary, l know lot
about him. He politely awaited his
turn, respecting the other boys
rights, removed his hat as he en-
tered, said Eyes, sir" and mo, sir, -
held his head up and wasn't afraid
to look me squarely in the eye.
That's the kind of boy want and
don't think I'll be disappointed in
the one selected" And he wasn't.
This was Harry's happiest Easter
tide.-Austin Brokamp, st. Mary

EASTER SYMBOLS

The egg resembles the tightly
sealed tomb. and the chicken sig
nifies the resurrection of the body
from the tomb. You will under
stand how very appropriate these
symbols are if you read the beauti-

the gospel of st. John.

into this country. More than two
hundred years ago the little Dutch
children of New Amsterdam-now
the great city of New York-kept
Easter which they called Paas.
Very early in the morning all the
boys and girls clattered about the
town in their wooden shoes carry
ing baskets of prettily tinted eggs
to their friends. The eggs were of
every color of the rainbow, and the
baskets were bright and sweet
scented. In those olden times the
Indians made just such pretty bas-
kets as they do now, and the Dutch
children were glad to buy them to
hold their eggs.
For centuries the butterfly has
been used as an Easter symbol. The
caterpillar makes a cocoon for him.

A HAPPY EASTER

Once upon a time there were
two children who lived by them
selves al the edge of the forest.
One cold winter night they went
to bed without any supper. Their
names were May and Helen. They
did not know it was Easter. Late
in the night fairy came, she
looked to make sure they were
asleep, she crept to the corner.
fixed some straw into 4 nest, and
placed some eggs in it, She
started away. She went back and
placed a sum of money in the
nest and went away. When the
children awoke and found the
things. they took them and lived
better ever after.

THE BEAR ANND THE KETTLE

Once a bear was very hungry.
Not being able to find any food he
went to village to see what he
could find there The door of the
first house he came to was open
and peeping in he found that no
one was at home. In he went and
began smelling about but he could
find no food. At last he came tc
a kettle of boiling wate: Tn ,nh M q
i fa il might be something good.
he sme11ed the kettle and in doing
he burned his nose. This made
him angry with the kettle.
He said, 'I'll get even with you
for burning my nose"
He took the kettle up in his
arms and tried to crush it against
his breast but only succeeded in
burning himself more than ever
He roared with pain and at last
was forced to drop the kettle and
in doing so scalded himself with
the hot water. He made so much
noise that it brought some men to
the spot to see what was the mat
ter. Looking through the window
they could see the bear dancing
with pain. They got their guns and
shot him.--Contributed by Mary

and all day today ministers of every

cants for certificates showing they
had been legally married. Hundreds
of such certificates were given out,
and the clergymen. being entitled
to make charge for the service,
reaped a harvest.
In order to make assurance
doubly sure, young men were in
vited to take their marriage GER
tificates to Dominion police head
quarters today and have them in
dorsed as examined and as a result
the headquarters stan had an anus

were very elaborate with gilt edges,
scroll and stiff parch-
ment. altogether unsuited for carry
ing in the pocket. Some had even
been framed and the possessors
were keenly desirous of getting
some handler form from the police
that would serve the same purpose.
The police, however, had no exemp-
tion forms to give and informed in
quirers that they must carry the
certificate or take their chance of
landing in barracks and in a uni
form.
Raids were carried out with sys-
thOroughness last night
and today. Mardi Gras celebrations
were visited by the police and scores
of celebrants hailed of to headquar-

was a usual sight to see ten or a

AUSTRIA WILL
NOT PROTECT
HUN SEIZURES
Uncensored Report Of Ger
min Speeches Shows Wide
Split with Germany.

Austria will not battle for Ger
man conquests in either Belgium or
Russia. There is in the hands OF
the State Department indisputable
evidence of a wide split between the
Austrian and the German foreign
policies. 1t was this evidence which
prompted President Wilson to re-
ply to Count Czernin as he did.
1t is considered likely that the
lack of this evidence in London led
King George and Lloyd George to
disagree with President Wilson's
of the Austrian pre-
mier's speech.
Official Report.
The evidence is contained in the
uncensored text of the Czernin
speech received here through Aus
trian and Swiss channels. So far
as Washington knows London has
only the text first sent here in Janu-
ary. That text passed through the
hands of the German censors. The
most startling point Of difference
between the two texts concerns the
Belgian problem.

the following deadly parallel.
