WATCH FOR DAWN OF EASTER
Thousands Gather on Mountain Of
Southern California to Take Part
in Religious Ceremony.

In one of the loveliest spots in south
ern California, rising above the green
orange and lemon groves of the val
ley, stands bare and rugged noun
tain peak. Growing it's highest point
is great wooden cross. Nearby on
huge powders are swung two iron bells,
and set in another high bowlder is a
bronze tablet recording that this noun
tain top is dedicated to Fra Junipero
Sierra, sturdy old Spanish priest who,
many years before California came into
the Union, many years before the revo-
luton which created the Union, strobe
back and forth across the desert Chris
tianizing and civilizing the Indians.
But nowhere does his actual spirit
seem to dwell as on this lonely noun
tain. For every year, at the dawn of
Easter, people of the valley and of the
entire state climb the mountain and
take part in a religious ceremony
which cannot be duplicated in the
world.
All night before the event the roads
are filled with pilgrims-in motorcars,
in carriages and wagons and on foot.

keep OLD CUSTOM
People Of Brittany Combine An
cient Legends With Easter
Ceremonies.

~ E all annual festivals amons
Christian nations, Easter
seems to have made the most
serious impression, and the
customs connected with its first celc-
brations to have fingered the longest.
Europe, with it's many nations, and,
therefore, many peoples, has ever been
the scene Of various ceremonies dis
tinctly belonging to the separate conn
triAs with the Latin church always in
the held in the matter of picturesque
symbols and professions.
The war last year and this will
make difference in some districts,
but wherever there are few gathered
together in his name in the neighbor-
hood of mighty cathedrals still stand
ing, or tiny kinks in the heart OF the
woods or along the sea, there will
some feature of the story of the Atone
ment be told in symbols.
In Brittany. a southern province of
France, which nestles close to the
Pyrenees, and In consequence perhaps
takes on something Of the colorful at
mosphere Of its neighbors, the Spanish
provinces, many interesting customs
are observed. It is land of legends.
On Easter morning at the Church Of
st. Crowley, in the village Of Finistere,
Brittany, every man, woman and child
Of the vicinity is in attendance. The
women and children are in their hest
frocks and snowiest caps, and the men
are leading the cattle to the. door Of
this church, which would do credit to
city of size.
There the priest receives the men
and animals, and while the women
cluster around, gravely listening, the
cattle are blessed and the care OF St.
Crowley invoked in their behalf. This
saint is a great favorite all over Brit
tany; and, like so many traditions Of
the Bretons, his story is connected
with many legends.
He was hunted by wild men until
death seemed near, when suddenly
every pursuer was turned into a stone,
and so they stand today, one group
forming regular border along the
road from Carnac to Kerlescant.

TRACED TO PAGAN CEREMONY
Christian Anniversary of Easter and
Worship of Goddess of Spring
Have Been Mingled.

1t was through the efforts Of the
priests and teachers of the early
Christian church that the Easter sea-
son was shorn of it's pagan ceremonies
and converted into a Christian ami
versary. These priests, finding it i'm
possible to induce the German and
Saxon tribes among whom they Ia
bored to renounce their worship of the
Goddess of Spring-variously known
as Ostera, Eostre and Eastre-skil-
fully managed to give the ceremonies
another turn, proclaiming that the sea-
son celebrated the rising of Christ from
the dead. Gradually, as the new re-
ligion gained ground, the old heather
superstitions died out. The goddess
Eastre was no longer revered, but her
name was retained to designate what
had now become the festival of the
Resurrection. For the first three CEN
turtles of the Christian era Easter was
celebrated on the same day as the
Jewish Passover, but after much dis
satisfaction had been expressed at this
coincidence of the two feasts the coun-
Gil of Nice devised, in 325 A. D., the
present mode of determining the date
of Easter. This, as every one knows,
provides that it shall fall on the first
Sunday after the full moon which oc-
ours upon or next after March 81, the
vernal equinox.-Exchange.

Heavy Editorial.

Alexander H. Stephens, vice presi'
dent of the Southern Confederacy,
who after the Civil war was repeated
ly elected to congress from Georgia,
was an exceedingly thin man. One day
there fell under his observation news
paper item saying that he weighed so
pounds. In reply to this he wrote a
letter to the editor of the offending
journal demanding an immediate re-
traction. II will not be slandered in
this manner" he protested, "my
weight is "a pounds" The former vice
president was himself an editor, with
a habit of writing very long articles for
his paper in Georgia, and the contem-
porary which had made the unwelcOme
statement regarding his weight refused
TO retract it for the reason, he said,
that ''Mr. Stephens must have had one
of his editorials in his pocket when
he last tried the scales. This would
account for the difference Of four
pounds between the two figures"

BILL TO SELL UNIFORMS
AT COST TO OFFICERS
Senator Jones Introduces Measure
and Attacks Profteers-Letter
Shows How Prices Jumped.

A bill providing for the sale of uni
forms and all their equipment at cost
price to officers of the Army, through
introduced in the Senate by Senator
Jones of Washington.
Senator Jones attacked the proflteers
who have been selling uniforms to Of
ficers who have recently joined the
Army and to the Regular Army Off
GERS at exorbitant prices.
Thousands Of young men have vol
unteered and gone into the officers
training camps through patriotic mo-
tives," he said. "In the camps the gov
ernment furnishes the uniforms. If
they obtain commissions, these young
men must go out and purchase their
outfits and the situation is as that in
other industries. The men must pay
two or three prices for their uniforms.
While the government furnishes uni
forms to the privates it seems that
these young men who have volunteered
as officers have been made a special
prey to the profiteers."
Letter From Reserve Officer.
Senator Jones read letter from one
of. the reserve officers in which it was
said the men had been told they could
get their outfits for about 5000 when
they were commissioned. when as
matter of fact it cost them $500 f.
The Army quartermaster cannot get
any uniforms to sell to officers. 1 am
told" said the officer, but every scoun-
drel in the country can get uniforms to
sell to them. At least S3.000.000 has
been taken from the pockets OF reserve
officers by these, plrofiteers. Married
men who have volunteered have hard
time am Mt present wearing NV cot
ton uniform, which l got last summer.
because 1 cannot afford to support my
family and spend the extra money for
a heavy uniform"
Shoe Prices Go Up.
Senator Jones said that shoes which
were sold to men in camps at 50 now
cost the officers $6>to $40: overcoats
which were sold at 50 to SIS now are
from $45 to $50 and belt which was
sold at cents now costs rs cents.
Senator Chamberlin, chairman of the
military affairs committee. said that
the whole question of uniforms was
being investigated by his committee
and he expected a remedy would be
suggested.
Senator Stone of Missouri attacked
the uniform question from another an
gle. He Insisted that some distinguish
Mg mark should be placed on the uni
form of the men who are actually go
ine into the trenches and are going
TO fight, so that they would. not be
confused with the men now wearing
uniforms ''who never expect to be in
sound of the guns"
