CONCERNING THE EASTER LILY

The following morning the monks
were astounded to find a beautiful
white lily growing by the side of the
stone. Such a flower had never be-
fore been seen and they spoke in
whispers of the miracle. Finally the
abbot Of the monastery ordered the
grave opened. To their amazement,
they found that the roots of this
strange new flower were imbedded in
the pure heart of the little boy. And
then they knew that the lily was an
emblem of purity.
Another legend has it that one even
ing Christ was walking in the Garden
of GethSemane, which was filled with
beautiful flowers of all sorts. And
as He passed the flowers bowed their
heads before Him; all except the red"
lily which haughtily held up her head
and refused to bow It even in the
presence of her Maker. Steadily and
reprovingly the Lord regarded her for
a moment.
Then. overcome with shame, the
proud flower dropped and wilted and
her fair white petals became suffused
with red bushes of remorse and
shame. The following morning, when
the sun shone forth to smile down
upon and kiss the flowers. all save the
lily lifted their heads to its warming
rays. And even unto this day, the
red" lily bushes and hangs her head
in shame at her vainglorious act.
Another legend tells of a beautiful
maid, as fair as she was pure in heart,
who was carried off by a bold bandit
of the mountains. But just as he was
bearing the gsri into his stronghold
her guardian angel reached down and
lifted her from his arms. And, where
her feet touched the earth there
sprang up the white lily.

Molly anxiously.
"Cluck. cluck, cluck." replied Dee
dee, proudly.
Molly peeped into the basket and
there what did she behold but a little
brown egg, For minute Molly Just
stared too surprised to move. Il must
tell the family" she thought. Then
all of sudden she got another idea.
Tomorrow is Good Friday and
Sunday is EASTER" she whispered.
Now, Deedee, you must lay two more
eggs by Easter"
So Molly took the egg and hid it.
Well. next morning the family woke
up early again because of such a cIuck
clucking going on in the next room.
Up jumped Molly and there stood Dee
dee on the cushion of the rocking
chair and under her was another little
brown egg.
only one more. good little Dee
dee!" whispered the little girl, as she
took the egg
That Gay Mrs. Agnew came in again
and said:
We'll. some of the neighbors are
going to complain about you keeping
that chicken. 1t makes a racket every
morning and you'd better get rid of it
before the policeman finds it OUT"
Mrs. Mother was quite as distressed
as the children.
"Deedee ought to keep quiet" she
said. but she can't help clucking
sometimes. I suppose"

dered just how lilies happened TO be
associated with Easter? There is no

Observe Mr.. Krylenko.

The world must pay some particular attention
to Mr.. Krylenko, headquarters Petrograd. Mr. Kry-
lenko was an ensign. He his chance and
grabbed it, which is the way to get ahead in Rus
sia, nowadays, and he is Bolshevik CONF
mander-in-chief.
Looking upon the world at large, Commander
Krylenko has decided to raise big army to wipe
out the bourgeois" not only of Russia but also
of Germany, England, France Italy and America.
Bourgeois" includes everybody who has got any
thing that's divisible, and, beginning with such
bourgeois" as the Standard Oil and other kings,
Krylenko will try to gradually extermnate down
to farmers flush with hogs or hens. The Bolshevik
idea is that possession is prima facie evidence OF
crookedness or special privilege, for which the
remedy is arbitrary division.
Application OF such remedy by Russians or any
other people, depends upon how large proper
ton of the people get the idea aforesaid, doesn't it,
Commander Krylenko feels he cannot apply it
through the ballot, and he's going to try an
army. He may go quite ways, too, provided that
Trotzky and Lenine don't get enough of this

vikism. 1t is to be supposed that they, like many
other folks have a viewpoint largely predicated

Alas! this miserable war is bound to knock all

First thing, we cannot afford to shower the

it can be figured out as violation of war necessity
all right! There are, say, 5000 weddings in your
town each year. A pound of rice for each bride
means 5000 pounds, and one pound OF rice con-
tains one-meal nourishment for twelve people.
Three thousand times twelve makes 10000 persons
