A FADED CHRIST.

Do you like to think of your dead as dead!
What of your Christ, who was crucified?
Yet many a Christian bows his head
And worships Christ that long has died.
The Christ they see when they upward look
Is Christ they saw in picture book.
Their Christ is Christ of Gallee,
A Christ of an ancient long ago;
His robe they know and his staff they see
But they only think that they see and know.
For always backward their look is cast
To an ancient Christ of an ancient past.
And if their Savior has not sufficed
In some hour of sorrow, some night of care,
IT is because they prayed to faded Christ
Far back in an ancient land somewhere,
Because they never did understand
That He stitch today at Gods right hand.

JESUS THE CARPENTER.

If could hold within my hand
The hammer Jesus swung,
Not all the gold in all the land
Nor jewels countless as the sand,
All in balance flung,
Could weigh against that precious thing
Round which His fingers once did cling.
If I could have the table
He once made in Nazareth,
Not all the pearls in all the sea
Nor crowns of kings or kings to be,
AS long as men have breath,
Could buy that thing of wood He made,
The Lord of lords who learned a trade
But still that hammer yet is shown
By honest hands that toll;
And at that table men sit down,
And all made equal by crown
No gold or pearls can soil;
The shop at Nazareth was bare
But brotherhood was builded there.

Every Photographer in the world will ap

Jay. E. House, of the New York Evening Post
We do not pretend that matters discussed
here are of any particular Importance. 1t is
our theory that nothing matters very much
The writing here is predicated on our sense
of news values. We write mostly about the
things that interest US. 1t is our experience
that if they interest us they must also inter-
est very large proportion of the total popu-
lation. When we write particularly bad
column, and we do it now and then, it is be-
cause we had a heluva time finding anything
to write about and had no interest in it after
we had found it.

Some Easter Verse
EASTER EVE.

Here in the hush of this enfrancnsed night
Where Memory like a lifted candle glows.
And down a corridor of Shadow throws
The thin line of its dim but faithful light,
l hold communion with Past that CLEANS
Like white star upon mountain crest
Passionless in its silence, and my breast
Is flooded with the magic of old dreams.
1 close my eyes, and by the kitchen door
Smiling in love and tenderness and grace
My mother stands and beckons me more
Soothing me with the wonder of her face
How well I'll sleep, her soft hands my head
When she has tucked me safely into bed.-Larry
Ho

AN EASTER CAROL.

Tomb, thou shalt not hold Him longer;
Death is strong, but life is stronger,
Stronger than the dark the light,
Stronger than the wrong, the right,
Faith and Hope triumphant say
Christ will rise on Easter Day.
While the patient earth es-waking
Till the morning shall be breaking,
Shuddering meath the burden dread
Of her Master, cold and dead
Hank, she hears the angels say
Christ will rise on Easter Day.
Up and down our lives obedient
Walk, dear Christ, with footsteps radiant
Till those garden lives shall be
Fair with duties done for Thee;
And our thankful spirits say,
Christ arose on Easter Day. =
And when the sunrise smites the mountains,
Pouring light from Heavenly fountains,
Then the earth blooms out to greet
Once again the blessed feet;
And her countless voices say
Christ has risen on Easter Day.

Cole Fisher, writing in the ST. Paul Dispatch has
forever decreed that it is perfectly good sense
and therefore exceedingly good form, to cut
your head lettuce with knife if you are for
tunate enough to have both head lettuce and a
knife at the same time. She also DEGREES with
the same argument of good sense, that it is
perfectly proper as well as heathful and APP
petizing to eat the lettuc leaf upon which your
fruit, fish vegetable salad reposes When we
think of all the good lettuce leaves have
passed up because somebody sometime told us
not be 'goop", and of all the times we have
sdestepped our perfectly good salad course be-
cause we couldn't cut the crisp lettuce with a
stylish little sterling silver salad fork with
about as much backbone as last years shrimp
when we think of all these things it is to weep!

has given little background for what we

Hawarden, Iowa-Orrin Larson was in

he was returning to his farm home with
binder. The bees landed on the heads and

that he had at least 100 stings on his face,
neck and ears:-Minneapolis Journal.

at that! In his campaign Ted promised that he
would do his utmost to reduce the cost of rum

like it of course they have an opportunity to re-
ject Ted and his policies in 1926. But from what

MILFORD DRIVERS IN spill"
Edward Walls Car Turned Over and
Chas. A.AbbOtt's Auto Hit by Another

Two Milford automobiles figured in
accidents at almost the same time a
week ago; but at different locations
and on different roads. Both acci-
dents occurred early in the evening.
Edward Walls, employed as a sales
man at C. M. Hammond & Sons gar
age, narrowly escaped serious injuries
when the car which he was driving
struck another car. Walls was at
tempting to pass Isaac BlackistOn,
cOlOred, when his car struck the rear
of Blackstone automobile. Both cars
were proceeding north toward Mil
ford. Wallis car turned over twice
from the force of the collision and
was completely wrecked. A peculiar
feature of the accident was the fact
that neither the glass in the wind
shield nor the glass in the rear of the
coach driven by Walls was broken;
even though the car was so badly
wrecked that it cannot be repaired
1t was d new car which Walls had
been demonstrating that day. The
accident happened on the duPOnJ
Boulevard between Lincoln and Ellen
dale Walls was only slightly bruis-
ed.
Charles H. Abbott likewise escap-
ed injury when his car was struck by
the automobile owned and driven by
w. J. Burton of Ocean View. This
accident happened at the intersection
of the Georgetown-RehOboth road
with the Milton-Harbeson road. Mr..
Abbott was driving toward RehObOth
and Mr.. Burton was coming from Mil
ton when the accident occurred. The
car owned by Abbott was slightly
damaged, but the car driven by Bur
ton was so badly wrecked that he sold
it the next day for junk. Neither OF
the drivers were seriously hurt.
