To some OF their ribald mirth,
Their irresponsible disrespect
Is keeping his feet on earth!
There's many a chap who ought
to tread
The pathways that lead to fame,
Who's handicapped by a swollen
head
Because OF some small acclaim;
And much too often his chance is
wrecked
Because, when he seeks renown,
lie lacks good comrades whose dis
respect
Might white his ego down!
A certain amount Of fulsome
praise
And flattery has its charm.
But to hear naught else as you go
your ways
Is certain to lead TO harm;
So. though the laurels you may
collect
Rest pleasantly on your crown,
Don't shun your comrades whose
disrespect
Is keeping your ego down!

WHAT ABOUT THIS?

8 good home cooking going to Join the ranks OF
i things departed along with sunbonnets and
shawls? 1t must be confessed that things look that

in home made pies, cakes and bread, and who
views with alarm the ~lnsistant forces now at work
inimlcal to his fondest loves.
Take pie, for ~instances that great standby for
American desert is becoming more and more OF a
rarity. Ice cream has simply showed pie, pudding,
and custard clear into the background. Americans
have become a nation of leo cream fiends. 1t may
be healthier than the home made pie, but 1t will
never take the place of pie. to those who banker
for that good old fashioned refreshment. Bread
too, that has been made in the lone kitchen, is be.
ing shelved for the bakers variety. Only a bakery,
or a grocery that handles bread can estimate how
few people bake any more for themselves. Cake OF
the home made kind still holds its own pretty well,
Bakers have never learned to approach a real home
made cake, so that house keepers dislike to offer
guests bakers cake. The small fancy cakes sold
by grocers are frequently served in the home, but
when 1t comes to actual cake, the domestic kitchen
still delivers 1t.

even in the most advanced" families where each
member lives his own life,'' but can Betty step
into the kitchen and cook a dinner from soup to

tho world today. For, II Betty" cannot, then one
family in the approaching generation is going to do

garb of the Ku Klux Khan, last
night entered the sharpsburg Pres

while one of their number handed
an envelope, containing a $40 bill
to Peter S. Barney. probate of

organization was taking part in the
Easter service. They then walked
out without saying a word. 1t Is

Fairmont never had a more beautiful Easter
Sunday than that of yesterday. The radience of the
sun and the spotless blue OF the sky made weather
conditions perfect. Flowers were everywhere,
shrubbery and fruit trees laden with them. tulip
and hyacinth beds flaming, meadows thick with
vlolets and ~forgetmenots, woodlands gay with
~sweetwilliam, bluebell, wild geranium, and crow
foot. Church affairs were embowered in lilies,
homes were scented with blooming plants, automo-
btles were crammed with the fragrant spells of the
open, children's hands were laden and young girls
adorned with corsages most gorgeous. The great
earth seemed to throb with resurrection. From the
places of worship arose songs Of rejoicing and mes
sages of comforting. The churches were filled with
worshippers, and from one Of them emerged a
bride passing through the crowds about the steps
and walk, with snowy floating veil and white drap-
cries, a reflection of the sublime joy OF the day.
Surely Easter Sunday was full Of promise for all
and none could ask for a more perfect day amid
more perfect surroundings.

While the morning services
were on at the Presbyterian
Church yesterday morning. several
little colored girls came up JEFF
erson street. They we're chatting
quite loud. AS they passed the
church door, an usher. out for a
bit of air, admonished them to be
quiet. In a stage whisper one Of
the girls said, Wonder what am
de matter In der. Honey, has dey
done got a fun'ral gwine on?"
Speaking Of colored folk. the
loudest Easter garment we glimps-
ed yesterday was worn by a color
ed girl. 1t was a sunset red that
flashed and blazed up in the bright
sunshine like a fire at midnight.
But that was not the loudest thing
about her costume, The dress had
bead trimmings that traiIed on
down 10 ankles from where the
modern dress stops, and every
step the lassle took gave out a
sound like the march OF a chain
