FIT. MADISON is
CLAIMING MORE
After Getting JoIted Out OF One
Championship, tho Prison City
Bunch Is Out For South
eastern Honors.

Like Bernhard, Buffalo Bill ct al,
who have had numerous farewell ap-
pearances in their profession, the
Fort Madison football team, rudely
thrust out of the running for state
honors, is coming back for more
trouble and is claiming to be the next
champions Of southeastern Iowa.
Commenting on this claim, the
Fort Madison Democrat says:
"In point of interest, one OF the
biggest games of the season will
come ON Saturday, October rs, when
Fort Madison will tangle with Bur
lington on the local gridiron. 1t is
believed that the game will mark
the turning point in the season and
will determine whether or not Fort
Madison's football schedule is to be
success this year.
Con November / the locals will
journey to Fairfield, Iowa, where ii
is believed that they will encounter
the stiffest opposition of the south.
eastern Iowa race. Should Fort
Madison be successful in defeating
Fairfield, she will have but little to
fear from the other teams of the
section, although Keokuk, with a
strong team, will remain to be
trimmed.
Both Burlington and Keokuk are
making good record on the grid
iron this year, and should prove
formidable opponents to the local
lads. Fort Madison, however, Is
confident, and the general opinion is
that the remainder Of the season
will be success despite the two
defeats which marked the three open
ing games of the season"

CLAIMED BY CHINA
Custom of CoIoring Eggs Said
to Have Originated in
That Country.

T(HE custom of presenting
Easter eggs, like so many
other graceful customs orig
mated probably in China.
The following story accounts for the
use of colored eggs by the Chinese:
Wen Kung, one of the wisest rulers
of the Tsin dynasty, to elude the
murderous snares of Li-Ki, his fathers
favorite wife, was compelled to fee
from his capital, Phu. In his fight
he was accompanied by his faithful
friend, Kiai-Tse-Tu. When, after an
absence of 10 years. the emperor, in
625 B. c., again returned to power,
Kiai obstinately refused all the re-
wards offered him, and, to escape the
urgent solicitations Of his grateful
sovereign, hid himself with his mother
in the Nian-Shang-Shang ("COtton
Mountains'). The prince. after long,
vain search, gave him up for lost, and,
in memory of his answering devotion,
changed the name of the mountains
into that they now actually bear, viz,
Kiao-Shan C'Unswerving Mountains").

there is a legend that refers to the

Brings Message of Hope.

Let US each catch fresh vision of
thee, o Christ! We each need it.
Our upward way has been beset by
fears and many obstacles. Some of
US need to go with thee to the mount
called Calvary, and there have our
hearts made tender and soft again:
have the bitterness taken away. Some
of US need to walk out on the road
to Emmaus, till one shall come and
walk with us, and speak to us, till
our hearts shall burn within us, and
we be purged and heartened to do thy
will. Some need to stand with the
men Of Israel of old on Mount Olivet,
and gaze after our ascending Lord,
till we hear the angelic voices say.
"Why stand ye thus gazing? The
same Jesus shall return again, even
as ye see him go;" till the promise
of our coming Lord shall clear all
shadows from our lives, and we live
in the glory that shall be, forgetful
Of the preseat and its ills. Whatso-
