SPECIAL MUSIC TO Be FEATURE

Tomorrow is Easter Sunday. It
comes earlier in the season this year
than is usual.
Practically every church in Topeka
has made plans for special services
tomorrow. The absence of floral dec
orations will be most noticeable
feature. Coming so early in the spring,
there are not many flowers blooming
now to be used in decorating the
churches.
Special music is the most outstand-
ing feature for expression of the joy
fitness and hopeful attitude of the
season. Waking up from the repres-
sion, hardness and desolateness of the
winter season. the people of the world
naturally tend to an expression OF
their changed mental attitude thru
heightened interest in music, flowers
and growing things, ministers point
out.
A Day of Music.
Every church in Topeka, from those
best equipped with the talented sing
ers and musicians to those not SO for
tunately blessed, has planned either a
program of special music, exercises,
or a cantata or chorus. Many of them
have combined all these factors in one
grand joyful Easter program.
Communion services. ordination ex-
ercises, and baptism all are scheduled
on church programs, according TO the
creeds and denominations of the vari-
oFS churches Sacrament services are
to be held in others. Many are open

THE DAFFODIL.
\ Legend of the Greeks.

\
The Daffodil is supposed to be one
of the flowers that Prosperina was
gathering when she was seized and
carried away by Pluto, the King of
the Internal Regions. One day Pluto
saw her among the goddesses and fell
madly in love with her He deter
mined to have her for his wife, but
he knew that her mother Ceres would
never allow her daughter to go with
him to the underworld. He went TO
Venus for advice and help and she
promised to aid him.
One day sProsperina was gathering
flowers by a beautiful lake in the Vale
OF Emma. where it is always spring
Her mother, who was resting on the
shore of the lake. warned her not to
wander far, but Venus caused beauti-
fuI flowers TO keep springing up just
ahead of the maiden. and so enticed
her farther and farther away.

There were two porters on their

Kept the Cars Clean.
The cars were kept clean by the
travellers and they did all their own
cooking. Much of the journey was
across plains similar to those in west
ern Kansas only less cultivated and
showing a scarcer population. It was
a moderately good train as trains in
that country go, but it stopped at al
most all stations and the journey was
tedious and dangerous.
A few days after they arrived on the
east coast, the railway system was
demoralized and it took weeks where
it should have taken only a few days
to get across. From Vladivostok the
AIaynards went across to Japan and

Two months were taken up in getting
