Trinity bells with their hollow lungs,
And their vibrant lips and their braZen
tongues.
Over the roofs Of the city pour
Their Easter music with joyous roar,
Till the soaring notes to the Sun are rolled
AS he swings along in his path Of gold.
Dearest papa" says my boy to me,
As he merrily climbs on his mothers knee,
why are these eggs that you see me hold
Colored 50 finely with blue and gold?
And what IL tho wonderful bird that lays
Such beautiful eggs upon Easter daysT
1'enderly shine the April skies.
Like laughter and tears in my child's blue
eyes,
And every face in the street is gay
Why cloud this youngsters by saying nay?
So cudgel my brains for the tale he begs,
And tell him this story of Easter eggs:
You have heard. my boy, Of the Man who
died,
Crowned with keen thorns and crucif1ed;
And how Joseph the wealthy-whom God
reward
Cared for the corse Of his martyred LORD
And piously tombed it within the rock,
And closed the gate with q mighty block.
Now. close by the tomb fair tree grew,
With pendulous leaves and blossoms of
blue;
And deep in the green trees shadowy
breast
A beautiful singing bird sat on her nest,
malachite.
And held four eggs of an ivory white.
Now, when the bird from her dim recess
Beheld the Lord In His burial Dress
And looked on the heavenly face so pale.
And the dear hands pierced with the cruel
nail,
Her heart nigh broke with a sudden pang,
And out of the depth Of her sorrow she
sang.
All night long till the moon was up
She sat and sang in her moss-wreathed
cup;
A song Of sorrow as wild and shrill
As the homeless wind when It roams the
hin,
So full Of tears 80 loud and long,
That the grief Of the world seemed turned
to song.
But soon there came through the weeping
night
A glittering Angel clothed in white;
And he rolled the stone from the tomb
away,
Where the Lord Of the earth and the
heavens lay;
And Christ arose In the cavern's gloom,
And In living luster came from the tomb.
Now. tho bird that sat in the heart of the
tree
Beheld this celestial mystery.
And it's heart was filled with a sweet de-
light,
And it poured a song on the throbbing
night
Notes climbing notes, till higher, higher,
They shot to Heaven like spears Of fire.
When the glittering, white-robed Angel
heard
The sorrowing song Of the grieving bird,
And, after, the jubilant paean- of mirth
That hailed Christ risen again on earth,
He said: Sweet bird, be forever blest,
Thyself, thy eggs, and thy moss-wreathed
nest!"
And ever, my child. since that blessed
When Death bowed down to the Lord OF
Light,
The eggs Of that sweet bird change thei,
hue,
And burn with red and gold and blue:
Reminding mankind in their simple way
OF the holy marvel Of Easter Day.

While most Of the old elab-
crate displays have fallen
into disuse, the egg in some form yet
remains q feature of Easter in mod
ern times.
The Tyrolese peasants retain a very
pretty custom of celebrating Easter,
In which the egg figures prominently.
On Easter eve bands of musicians
traverse every valley, singing holiday
hymns. Their picturesque hats are
adorned with flowers. Crowds of chill
dren accompany them and at night
carry torches of lighted pine wood.
AS they pause before each house the
people come to the doors and put eggs
into the baskets of the singers, whire
they themselves join in the chorus.
The Paschal lamb as an emblem Was
much used in the early Christian era,
and is still symbol Of Easter in mahy
Of the Latin countries.
In Africa they even worship it, and
no altar decoration is considered fin
ished without circle Of eggs, while
each private family boasts at least one
sacred egg.
The 'share" legend, strange to say,
is connected with the moon. There
were all sorts Of fancies with regard
to the moon phases, from which time
Easter is reckoned, and among some
nations the hare is type of the moon
itself. The Hindu and Japan artists
painted them across the moons disk,

Prominent Kentucky Club Woman,
Well Known Here, Killed
When Train Strikes

Louisville, Ky, August 22. - Louis
vile mourns the death OF one Of her
foremost and NOSE widely known
women, Mrs. Anna Sewell Weaver,

McCreary county, late Sunday after
noon from injuries suffered few min
.utes previous when her automobile
was struck by train. The body was
taken to Somerset and arrived here at
8 o'clock this morning. The driver OF
the machine, Charles Skunk, also was
seriously injured and probably will
die. Mrs. Weaver was So years old.
Few, If any, women of Louisville and
the State of Kentucky are better
known than Mrs. Weaver, who for
many years has been leader in vari-
GUS activities, women's clubs, social
work civic and charitable enterprises.
Mrs. Weaver was the wife of former
Mayor Charles p. Weaver, of Louis
vile. More recently Mr.. Weaver was

Grand Forks, N. D., and Mrs. L. d.
Kuhn Of JOuicvilIa
Mrs. Weaver was on a business trip.
She was expected home today. A dis
patch from Somerset said the tragedy
was due to the failure of the chauf-
feur to note the arrival of northbound
Queen and Crescent train No. 2, and
that he pulled out from his parking
place at the rear of the station and
had gone less than so feet when the
fatal crash occurred.
Mrs. Weavers right leg was broken,
as was her left arm. Deep cuts and
bruises were sustained about the head
and face. She may have sustained in
ternal injuries. Physicians, however,
said II was their belief that death
probably resulted from shock.
