ahoning twp........ Seri 1 fogal, Father Tabb 11 an ex
quisite little poem said that
the bud that first unfolded at Christ-
mas reached its splendid bloom at
Easter. From Christmas to Easter
the weeks are processional. After the
holidays social gayety is in full swing
until arrested by the thoughtful and
meditative aspect of Lent. In the
shadowy gloom of Good Friday Lent
reaches its culmination, and after that
pause, when even the stir of business
ceases and the world looks back to its
Redeemer, we reach the summit and
crown of Christendom on Easter Sun-
day. Fitly, Easter comes in the
spring. Nature, too, has been proces-
sional. During the frost and ice and
snow, the wild gales and low hanging
clouds, nature, seeming to be asleep,
was in reality very busy. The bare
trees were getting ready to burst into
leaf, the brown grasses were to put
on vivid green, and everywhere the
flowers and the blossoms, the bees
and the birds were coming, coming
day by day, to keep high festival
once more.
The pretty girl who likes on Easter
Sunday to dress herself in spring ap-
parel from the hat on her head to
the shoes on her feet, and the dainty
gloves on her hands, is in sympathet-
ic accord with nature. Easter is a
movable feast, and when the calendar
brings it to, us on a day of sleet and
snow, we find it hard to believe alto-
, zether in the fitness of things.
~ To be at its royal best, Easter
should be an April day. The bright
sunbeams, dashing showers and
changeful moods of April symbolize
| the eternal youth of the world. Easter
Sunday in this year of grace will wear
the same joyous look that it has worn
ever since the resurrection. So the
maidens who go forth from home in
| raiment befitting the spring will wear
the same attractive charm that has
| been girlhood’s awn in every century.
Pagan and Christian, under every
sun, in every period, in every clime,
girlhood in its flower is the sweetest
thing beneath the sky.
I am always sorry when the time
comes for girl to lay aside their soft
furs, heightening as they do the bloom
of the face and giving an air to the
toilet more enchanting than that con-
ferred by the most delicate lace.
When an Easter costume can com-
bine an effect of flowers and furs, it
i= simply perfect. In our large cities
the churches are always thronged te

The cemeteries have many visitors |
on Easter afternoon. The quiet sleep-
ers in God's Acre are not forgotten;
they have never quite left us. Only
tke mortal part lies beneath the turf.
The soul of ethereal essence cannot
perish with the body. It comforts
our hearts to carry our gifts of flowers
and leave them on the mounds under
which our dead repose.
A friend tells a touching story of
a visit she paid to the grave of a de-
parted friend. last Easter Sunday.
She had with her a superb bunch of
roses, a tribute to the memory of the
dead. On the car was a plain day la-
borer. He also carried flowers. He
had a large tin pail overflowing with
beautiful lilies. Touching his hat, he
addressed the lady. “I think we are
bound for the same place,” he said.
“and we have a similar errand. Rich
people like you may carry such roses
as yours to adorn the graves of their
dead. A friend in the far south sent
me these lilies, and I am taking thei.
to the grave of my wife. I am very
lonely without her, but- it is a com
fort to me to give her these lilies
She loved them so dearly.” ‘The two
mourners in their different stations
were drawn together in sympathy b:
a common grief and a common rev-
erence as they went on their way,
each bearing a burden of fragrance
and bloom. :
While we carry flowers on Easter
to the church and the cemetery, we
should not omit to carry them or send
them to the hospital, the sickroom,
the chamber of the shut-in sufferer,
the Old Ladies’ Home and the homes
of ‘the very poor. No one can walk
through a crowded quarter in the
poorest part of any town bearing
flowers without being besieged by the
children of the streets. They hunger
and thirst for flowers, as sometimes
they hunger for bread. I knew an in-
stance in which for many weeks a
woman who might have been called
the angel of the tenements tried in
vain to secure an entrance into a
home where poverty and crime had
been linked together.® The door was
always shut in her face. The sad-
faced mother did not want compassion
and scorned its offer. One day, it
must have been in the spring and
near the blessed Fastertide, the kind
worshipers being those who have keps
from childhood a feeling of reverence,
thankfulness and humility that sends
| them to church on that Sunday, if on
| no other. The organ peals in solemn
chords, the hymns are full of triumph,
| the choirs sing with a note of jubilant
| exultation. We bring the flowers to
| church, and the lilies and roses,
| azaleas and hyacinths are very much
at home there. Altar and chancel are |
| beautiful with palms and rich with!
| garlands and growing plants. Flow:
! ers symbolize the thought of resurrec
i tion, the thought that there is no
death, but only, even in this world of |
| loss and change, the life everlasting |
| The daisies were here last summer;
| they will be here again covering 2!
million fields with their cloth of gold
a few weeks hence, and the lilies |
never die. They may seem to pass |
away, but their proud succession has |
no break. - ;
As for us who begin our lives in the
cradle, and go on through glad and
busy years, from youth to age, our |
lives are procession], and every |
Easter marks them with its white]
stone. Often as Easter returns we
remember those who were once at
our side and are visible no longer |
‘They have left us for awhile, but they
are living beyond our sight, and their |
invisible presence may be our comfort
and support and our armor against

They never quite leave us, our friends
who have passed i
Through the shadows of death to the |

A thousand .sweet memories are holding

The work that they left and the books
that they read,

The need of hospitals, private an
public, for scientific treatment of drug
addiction, is urgent, writes Charles B.
Century,
“The Drug Taker and the Physician.”
There has never been a state or city
tients, though some have been receiv-
ed and treated at the Massachusetts
state hospital for dipsomaniacs and
inebriates. The state and city make
provision for treating the insanity
that arises in advanced stages of the
habit, or in patients forcibly deprived
of their craving, but not for treating
the habit itself.
Even the inebriate colony. which is
to be established by the state of New
York will in no way-provide for the
drug taker. This is probably because
he does not come so obviously within
the protective province of the state as
does the alcoholic, since he is not
turbulent and does not hreak the law
except in order to obtain his cus
tomary dose. At the present time,
with all the enormous, consump-
tion, there is no provision by state or
city, or by charity organization, for
the special treatment of the drug
taker, although more than any other
sick person in the world is he abso-
lutely unable to care for himself.
It will be seen that the physician is
the proper agent to deal with the evil
under discussion, both in safeguard-
ing the patient from acquiring the
habit and in correcting the habit when
once it has been asquired. He must,
then, be thoroughly equipped for the
duty. Every year doctors are being
graduated from our medical schools
with an intimate knowledge of dis-
eases that they will rarely encounter,
but without any knowledge of drug
and alcoholic conditions, which await
them in appalling numbers. They
must- realize their responsibility in
prescribing the habit-forming drugs
and must be qualified to deal with the
results of their misuse.
ALASKA OF SOME ACCOUNT
Its Cost Paid Back Many Times Over
and Now It Demands Selif-
"Government.
The territory of Alaska has yielded
to its owner, the United States, $200,
000,000 in mineral wealth; in fish and
furs this bleak possession has yielded
$222,710,036, and it has paid directly
into the United States treasury $14,
792,461 in cash. Adding the tribute
of fisheries, furs, minerals and cash,
the people of the United States have
within forty-two years taken $444,102
500 out of Alaska. '
This territory was bought from Rus-
sia in 1867 for $7,200,000. The figures
of wealth yielded in return for this
investment, according to the testi-
mony of Delegate James Wickersham
before the committee on territories
on March 29 last, were supplied to him
by the treasury department. Costing
‘but $7,200,000, and an average of
$200,000 annually for the maintenance
of its government, the territory has re-
turned to the United States $10,000.
000 a year. Its people now petition
the government to enable them to con-
serve for their own use its vast and
yet undeveloped resources. They
want to govern themselves, and ulti-
mately to achieve statehood. The na-
tion has always taken tribute from
Alaska, while retaining its own wealth
for itself and its individual states.
Why not now give Alaska a chance?

: PLSEED UP IN
| ENNSYLVANIA
Philadelphia.—Dr. Roaland G. Cur-
tin, a widely known physician and
veteran of the Civil war, died at his
home here. Dr. Curtin was born in
Bellefonte, Pa., Oct. 29, 1839. He
was naval storekeeper at the Phila-
delphia navy yard during the Civil
war.
Westchester. — The borough of
Coatesville has lost all its liquor li-
censes as an indirect result of the,
lynching of a megro there in August,
1911, for which crime no one has yet
been punished. Of 14 prominent ho-
tels and saloons in the county 11
were ordered to 'close their bars at
once. ’
Halifax.—George Cornitz of Enter-
line, an amploye at the Bogar saw]
mill, was badly hurt when a fal
limb from a tree struck him and run
two large splinters in his throat, the
one two inches and the other one and
three quarter inches long. The one
splinter pierced a large artery and
when removed by the doctor the ar-
tery had to be tied shut to stop the
loss of blood. Mr. Cornitz is slowly,
improving.
New Kensington.-—After a thorough
test of the air in the entries half of
the mine of the Valley Camp Coal Co.
has been put in operation, and the
shipments of coal were resumed as
before the fire, which broke out in
the mines on Tuesday, February 25.
Somerset. — Somerset county’s H-
cense court has adjourned indefinite-
ly to allow testimony in the form of
depositions to be taken in a number
of cases, in which the petitioners are
charged by remonstrants with specific
violations of law. Judge William H.
Ruppel will file a written opinion in
every case, where there is any objec-
tion or remonstrance, so that if either
side is dissatisfied an appeal may be
taken to the higher courts. It is not
believed that old applicants will be
refused unless it is shown that they
have violated the law.
Altoona.—A stirring appeal was
made by Bishop T. S. Henderson of
Chattanooga before the Central Penn-
sylvania Methodist conference io save
Goucher college, the Methodist school
for women at Baltimore. He said if
$1,000,000 was not raised by April 1
the college would close its doors.
Half this sum has. been guaranteed,
but the other half million must be
pledged.
Sunbury.—Harry Sabo. who was ar-
rested last Monday night at Kulp-
mont on suspicion of being implicated
in the murder of Miss Sophia Har-
vath, New York, has been released
from jail.
West Chester.—The board of man-
agers of the Chester county hospital
has appointed Miss Emily Assheton
Holmes of Reading, to be superinten-
dent of the institution. The vacancy
was caused by the resignation of Miss
Minnie E. Worrest, who goes to a
Louisville, Ky., hospital.
Kane.—Thomas A. Hall of Pitts-
burg, a structural iron worker em-
ployed by the Marshall-McClintic
Construction Co., was perhaps fatally
injured when he fell from the top
of the American Plate Glass Co.s
plant at James City while he was do-
ing repair work. i
Lebanon.—Peter Borage, aged 41,
a former Steelton man and a furnace-
man by occupation, fell down a fligh
of steps at his boarding house and
broke his neck dying instantly. A
certificate of accidental death was
granted by a doctor.
Norristown.—Jacob Preston, who
broke out of the Abington jail in 1907,
was sentenced on a larceny charge to
18 months, for impersonating an offi-
cer; one year, on the charge of car-
Tying concealed deadly weapons sen-

friend about town, and made the]
mistake, upon coming cut on Fifth |
avenue, of calling attention, with the
maximum of pride, to the line of mo- |
tor 'buses spinning up and down that |
thorcughfare. To his amazement thse |
man from the Golden Gate refused to
be impressed. “Yes, they're all right,” |
he remarked, “but you should see the!
ones we have at home. How far do |
these run, anyway? We have an au-
tcmobile stage line between Sacra-
mento and Folsom, with ‘buses that]
carry 24 passengers and baggage and |
make about 90 miles a day. They |
run over country roads at 20 miles an |
hour, and a good many of our pecple |
are coming to prefer them to the rail- |
road. Yes, these are nice 'buses, but |
they lock sort of funny beside ours.” |

More than two thousand active em-

Somerset.—Attorney Aaron C. Hol-
bert, counsel for John Maus, convict-
ed of murder in the first degree and
awaiting the fixing of the date of his
execution, will ask the state board of
pardons to commute the sentence to
Iife imprisonment at a hearing in Har-
risburg on Wednesday, April 16.
Johnstown. — Representative Ulrich
of Westmoreland county has present-
ed in the house a bill that provides
for the construction of a new state
road from Donegal, Westmoreland
county, to Cramer, Indiana county,
where it will join the Cramer turn-
pike. The road extends up the valley
and across the ridge at Seward, and
will greatly benefit this city, opening
up a section that has heretofore been
untouched by a state highway and
nearly inaccessible.
Philadelphia.—Dr. C. Linn Seiler,
professor of civic economy at the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania, says Sunday
baseball would prove a blessing. He
takes the standpoint that legislation
must be made for the benefit of the
many. “The masses cannot go to the
baseball games in the week. Sun-
day is intended as a day of recrea-
tion and no recreation is as good for
Americans as baseball. It is far bet-
ter to sperd time at a game than in
many other popular Sunday amuse-
ments. ’
Pittsburg.—Demanding a minimum
rate of 20 cents an hour, about 100
laborers of the Pittsburg & Lake
Erie railroad, working at the McKees
Rocks shops and on track work in
Schoenville, went on strike. i
Kittanning.—The Kittanning police
force has been reorganized. Thomas
T. Hague, who has been acting chief
of police, although a paralytic, was
dropped, and William Gallagher was
promoted to i place. Madison
Dosch was put the fo i 1
