why seek the living among the dead?
He is not here" the angel said
To John and Peter as they stray
To the sacred tomb at dawn Of day;
"For He Is risen. His charge to thee
Is Meet Me by blue Galilee.'"
Peter ran into the tomb to view
The place and found twas really true.
He saw the napkin by itself
Carefully folded on shelf:
The linen cloths. but not his Lord:
True, true, indeed. was the angels
word.
Two Marys also came that morn
With hurrying feet and hearts sore
With grief for Him whom they had
seen
Laid in that tomb in garden green.
The massive stone which closed it's
Was rolled away. They stood before
The open tomb where, glorious sight!
They saw two angels clothed in white.
"He Is not here" again they said.
At which they turned and hasting fled
To tell to waiting, mourning ones
The tidings glad in joyous tones:
Our Lord is risen! He once more
lives!
We've met Him, seen Him and He
gives
This message to you: Come to Me
And meet Me by blue Galilee.'"
Yes. He was risen! their quest was

They had their living Lord once more.

That's very kind Of you," said
Uncle Lucky as the Swan pointed

albatross came sailing by on his

such a hearty laugh that a feather

this white sea bird sat down and
told Uncle Lucky that to catch oys-

water rake and lots of things.

A. PROTEST.

The managers of our railroads
would bo derelict in duty did they
not protest the ill-advised schemes
to take from their property its earn
ing power and to deprive their
stockholders OF a reasonable income
from investments in railroads. Even
though we regard their views biased
these nevertheless are entitled to a
fair hearing and are worthy of the
consideration Of the voters who
select the lawmakers.
President Warfield of the associa-
ton of owners Of railroad securities
spoke at a hearing before the Sem
ate committee on Interstate Com
merce Friday. vigorously protesting
the repeal of the rate-making Sec
ton Of the Commerce Act. He
presented three memorials. one on
behalf of mutual savings banks with
ten million depositors. and a billion
invested in railroad securities, an
other on behalf of the policy holders
in insurance companies with two
billions invested in these securities
land the third representing national
and state banks and trust companies
with signers aggregating over Ave
billions in resources.
The law, he said, was framed to
meet indispensable requirements, In
order that the railroads may proper
ly function as a national trans
porsation system. He quoted from q
decision Of the Supreme Court to the
effect that such an arrangement Is
essential to the adjustment OF an
interstate rate structure.
: Nr. warfield continued: section
15e Of the Commerce Act was de-
svieed by Congress after months Of
hearings and investigation and after
years OF recognition Of the diff
dculties Of the problem, viz: to pro-
vide Tor the difference in traffic
density between railroad territories
that had hitherto been regarded as
an insoluble problem. 1t was recog-
Missed az an indisputable fact that

spective railroads operate do not

PATRIOTS DAY

= Patriots Day, let's see, what Is 1t
Ill about? Who set aside this day
for sports, out of doors where the
season is far enough advanced. for
trying out the fishing tackle II the
ice has left the ponds, for cleaning
up the grounds and sweeping
Springs cocoon into the waste
some thoughtful person surely,
someone who knew just what most
OF US need at this time OF the year.
But just why did they fix upon
April 10 as the Day?
Well, 1t came about this way,
speaking briefly. A lot of British
soldiers occupied Boston. The
colonists had been giving the Eng
lish authorities good deal OF
trouble one way and another. They
must have been pretty pert to their
English cousins who thought there
would be no colonies were 1t not for
England, who thought the colonists
should be grateful and were sure
they needed chastisement for being
insolent Fight England? Why the
idea was absurd! They were as
sure of that as some Of the ad-
vocates Of the League OF Nations
ere that it would have brought us
the millennium had we given it a
chance.
, SO insolent had some of the colon
lists become, they actually had
stored quantity Of powder few
miles out of Boston. at Concord,
and 800 British troops set out to
take possession of 1t. Then 1t was
Paul Revere rode on ahead and
shouted a warning. BY the time
the British reached Lexington this
hot morning of April 10 they prob
ably were tired and thirsty and
somewhat peevish. 1t was ridiculous
to suppose any Of the farmers living
along the line would offer any OPP
position but some OF them, who be-
longed to an organization called the
Minute Men," talked 1t over and
ut least to show some spirit of pro-
test. Some 20 of them under Cap
tain John Parker assembled on the
common, having their guns with
them. They must have felt a lit
tie nervous with those 500 trained
British soldiers coming down the
road but they stood their ground
until the British poured volley into
the thin line and marched on.
Yes, that April 10 was quite Day
in tho American calendar. The
blood of Colonists was spilled by
troops OF the mother country; seven
years of warfare was there begun;
tho course of human events was
changed. About reason enough
isn't there, for setting apart the
nineteenth day of April for baseball
fishing. golf and spring cleaning
Incidentally if we recall that these
old colonist farmers went to a lot OF
trouble, that some Of them gave all
they had, including their lives. and
that every year of the hundred and
forty nine that have elapsed since
then many have been working and
struggling for this country of ours,
II we take minute off and reflect
on these things. it can do us no
harm.

There are values in life that are

There are treasures we have, that no

There are things that we cherish,

Though their value in silver, or gold

But, of all Of the wonderful things

The thing that counts most, is the

To win a wager of a box Of choco-
lates that they would not be in the
water of the Penobscot river before
or on the 9Th day Of April, Miss
Kathleen Mccarthy and Miss Mildred
Mcclure of Bangor took their first
dip on the 9Th while ice cakes f1oated
about them. So far as is known this
constitutes the record for early
swimming in the river this year. The
girls attempted to take their swim
week earlier but found foot Of ice
on the river which prevented their
doing so Miss Mccarthy is cashier
Of the Bijou theatre and was captain
Of the Bangor High school Girls
Basketball team in 1922. while Miss
Mcguire is now a freshman in Ban
gor High, IA years of age. They
found the water very cold but after
vigorous exercise and hot coffee by
fire on the shore, showed no ill
effects.
Sterling silver for the bride is
quite the thing. admittedly. And it's
very acceptable, though it's getting
more and more common as a matter
of possession. But every bride can
scarcely hope to own such sterling
silver as is the possession of five
women who are the daughters of a
Portland family, whose mother re-
sides at 367 Brighton avenue, with
one of the daughters. The fact of
the matter is that the silver cher
ished by Mrs. John S. Harris and
her daughters was fashioned by no
less a notable than Paul Revere or
Colonial fame. Undoubtedly Paul
Revere's famous ride to Concord and
Lexington is much better known
than his trade as a silversmith. But
there is visible and beautiful evil
dence of his craft in this city of
Portland that is we'll worth record
ing. The chief interest that lies in
this remarkable old silver does not
end with it's maker, moreover. The
experience it has undergone. at least
two of the pieces, twin candlesticks,
is bounded by historical and unusual
lines
