The (trny haired woman upon the rouoh aroused herself, and removing 1uo cover from the banket, said, "(iod bless you, my boy, tiod bless you, and (tram you the pleasantest Easter you have ever had." "So those fruits and cakes and pies and other things are what you wanted the most of anything:, are they?" ob served Gilbert, with a look of teuder 'ness in his usually roguish black eyes. Mrs. Ames looked perplexed. She did not know what to tell her young caller, who had so often cheered the loneliness of her life with such pleas ant errands from his mother as the present. That she did want what he had brought very, very much was n fact. Indeed, but for the help that she thus received from Gilbert's mother, Bh would not be able to live without calling upon the city for help, and that very morning she was wondering If she had food enough In the house to last her over the morrow. It would be a pity if she had not, for the nior tow was Easter Sunday. Hut, still, did she really want that welcome food more than anything else in the world? Ah, she knew that she did not. She knew that there was one thing that she wanted very, very much more thatjshe had been wanting for a whole year but should she let Gilbert know? Shoilld she lessen the pleasure of the I 1... 1.111 1. . muiuj leuing mm mat there was nmi,tllllrr !... .1 111,11. om.. unmet! even more iiian-wnat lie liait brought. Gilbert had a dim idea of what was In Mrs. Ames mind, and asked. "Xmv was there something else that you wanted more than these things?" "I may as well tell the truth," said the old lady to herself, then aloud, "YeS, Gilbert, there is one thing that I want more th; i anything else in the world, and that is to attend church upon Easter. There is no Sunday in the wurld to me like Easter. I waR married on Easter, and on this day my husband went to his reward above. It is very, very seldom that I miss passing Easter at the church, no mat ter how sick I may be." "Then why don't you go this year?" said Gilbert. Mrs. Ames put back into the basket the great apples she had just taken mother is to remember me In this way." "If she Is nil angel," said Gilbert, "I guess I will be getting home to her before she flies away." "Will you take the basket back?" asked .Mrs. Ames. "I might as well," answered Gilbert. Then he began to help .Mrs. Ames un pack It. All the way home Gilbert was try ing to discover some plan by which to get Mrs. Ames to church iinon the next day. "I never heard lwr forc that she wanted anything," lie mtiseii, "and now that she has spoken her mind, It Is too bad I cannot irel the thing she wants. It Is funny, too. that one who wants to go to church so much can't get there, while them iir,. so many who could go, but you can't get em to. On reaching home Gilbert mn-imi ihn basket into the kitchen, and then went for his rake to finish nn tlm cleaning he was giving the lawn. As he stepped Into the stable for the rake he saw something which surprised him very much. You will never be able to guess what It was, so I will tell you. it was a little black pony, standing as And where did lie go? All, he went to the lltst place he had thought of going when he had llr.st realized that he had ti puny of his own, and that was to call upon .Mrs. Ames. She did not live far off, hut it took him a long, long time to reach her house. Why did It? Simply because ho met so many hoys and girls he knew, and he must keep stopping and telling all where he got the pony. Af ter awhile he met Will White his chum, and gave him a ride, allowing nun to drive a part of the way. When he reached Mrs. Ames' home he saw her at the window eating one of the apples he had just carried her. "Here, Will, hold the reins," he said, as he stopped his pony in front of the house; "I have an errand here." Mrs. Ames, who had seen him com ing, met him at the door. "Here's the conveyance that Is to take you to church to-morrow," he said, pointing toward his new present. "Why: why! why!" was all that Mis. Ames could sny, but when she noticed that Gilbert was waiting for her an swer, she said, "at ten o'clock." Then !, went buck Into the house to see if her Sunday clothes neeilml any mending, and Gilbert and Will drove off, choosing the longest way home for the sake of the ride. Gilbert drove up again in front of the little white house the next morn ing. The wagon was so low that Mrs Ames. In spite of her lameness, could get tin-) it with out much trouhh "The Tomb Closed by a Stone.." We know that the door ot the Lord's tomb was closed by a stone rolled be fore the opening. Such a stone was lately found. In a garden about a mile north of the city there was seen a little hollow A spade was used to deepen this hoi low, and a tomb was found, Into which the enrtli had been falling. The stone of this door was rounded on the edges so that it would roll, aud on the nearly at front of It was Rome thing written. Tills writing Is what Is called Guile, but on one has been able to rend It. 'Hie tomb was cut nit of the rock, and we must go down a few steps to enter. So Peter and John and Mary are all said to have "stooned down and looked into the sopulchor." The Hour was so cut that there was a seat left on the side, and In the mid dle a table was left about six feet by time teet, and rising two feet above the floor. On this the hotly would be laid, rolled In linen with fragrant herbs, and on the seat the friends would sit when they made dally visits After n time the body would be placed In n cavity, ami then the c.ivity would be closed wlih masonry. Somewhat like this must have been the tomb of Joseph In his garden, and on some such table the body of the Lord was laid. The stone was then put In place, and was pealed by n cord fastened with wax to the stone and the wall, ''lieu all was still until the Hlvlne saying was fullillod: "After two days will He revive us; in the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live In Ills sight." J his was the victory ol lite over death, of good over evil. So did our Lord show that He Is "the resurrec tion and the life." Youth Companion, 15 k&H .Uinrli". I.

"Aud It 3s just a mean shame, it Is, that even when there are so many horses in the city, there Is not of 'em to take you 10 cnurcu. "But we won't talk about that now," said Mrs. Ames.

The pony tried to answer him in pony talk as best she could, but as long as (filbert had never had a pony before, he could not quite understand this. So back into the house he ran right into his mother's sewing room. almost Into her arms. "Oh, mother, where did she come from? Do tell me quick," he shouted, evidently forgetting his low home tout R. "What?" asked his mother. "Why, the pony." "Grandpa sent it to you," replied the mother. "How do you like It?" "Like it!" exclaimed Gilbert, "why no one could have given me a single thing that I would like half so well. Don't you want a ride right off?" "I think I will wait a few days,' thank you," said Mrs. Dennis. "But I can't wait," said Gilbert, so back to the stable he went, and soon had the pony harnessed to the wagon, lie had learned how to harness a horse when he was on Uncle Fred's farm last summer, .nd he t jw had no trouble in harnessing "li'.f, own horse," as he had ulready bcf.un to cull his pony. He then drove out of the stable, along the road In front of the window where his mother was, so that she could see him. She nodded to him pleasantly and waved tier mind, and he gathered the reins In one hand so that he could wave back. Then he drove down the Gilbert took the longest way to the church, so that his passenger could f njoy the balmy prlng air. "It is so nice to lie out of doors again," she said, "and this Is the first time I've been out since fall." At the church door Gilbert left Mrs. Ames In care of the sexton, telling him to take her up In front, since she was hard of hearing. Then he drove back home, to walk to church with the rest of the family. It was a beautiful Easier service. Everything went to make It so; the Ilornl decorations, (he music and the sweet story of the Insurrection the preacher told in so siinnle ret- Kn im. presslve a manner.

EASTER BONNETS. Evils of the Old Russian System Jire Jolv Intolerable Czar Nicholas Too Weak to Stem Vast Current. By Andrew D. White, Former American Ambassador to St. Petersburg. t B : : 1 t ! t F the Czar Is a weak man, as the present Emperor Is, hs can X 1 do very little. A weak man cannot know anything about the Empire to speak of, because he is surrounded by grand dukes, women, etc., who tell him what they want him to bo- lleve. The main difficulty In the whole cnBa is that the Em peror is supposed to do ell the thinking for 140,000,0000 of people scattered over the largest territory possessed by any government In the world, with all sorts of different races, re llgions and Ideas, and this no man can do, and leaBt of all la a time like this The simple fact Is that the evils of the old Bystem have now become abso lutely intolerable. And when you add to that fact the sending off of ImmenBO numbers of the best 3-oung men In the country to an utterly useless and wicked war, and the pressure of taxation which grinds the people to the dust, you have a situation which none but the very strongest rulers In all human hls tory can copo with. The Czar has no strength of character, no proper educa tion, and Is hopelessly unfit to grapple with the situation. No doubt the worst of the features of the situation have been kept from him. Eighty years ago a struggle took place against the incoming Emperor Nicholas I., but the condition of things was by no means so bad as it is at present. And thot Emperor was a very much stronger man than the present ruler. He simply shot down the Insurgents In one of the great stpiares of the city, ordered a number of revolutionists to be lrfinged, sent the more moderate reformers to Siberia and so stopped the wholo difficulty. Not unlikely the ad visers of the present Empcrcr will try to do the same thing by shooting down the Insurgents, and In that way they may have something like peace for. some time to come, nut Important changes cannot much longer be delayed. The Grand Duko Vladimir Is the Emperor's uncle; he Is a trained soldier of tlia old sort and a believer In strong measures, such as have always been practiced iu tho Russian Empire.

T 1 HE president of Harvard has lately used the word gentleman In defining his idea of what a college student ought to bo. It is a dangerous word, tangled as It Is with old-time weak nens end olu-tlme strength. Dr. Eliot has been attacked here and there, for using it. He mitigated It, however, by associating with it the word democratic. The compound which ho described Is nn admlrublo creation, whatever may be thought of the felicity of these two words. "A gentle man," says the president, "is o.uiet. He does not bluster, or hustle, or huiry, or vociferate. Ho is a serene person." So far Dr. Eliot has history with him. He goes on: "Another ot his qualities Is a disposition to see the superiorities In, persons, rather than their Inferiorities." It Is to be feared that historically the kind of superiors wtli whom "gentlemen" sought to associate would hardly be deemed remarkable for actual superiority today. Gratitude would be due to him who should Invent a word containing the vnlu nblo part of the meaning of "gentleman" and omitting the class Implications, New ideals need new words. "Bright thoughts, clear deeds, constancy, fldel ity, bounty, and generous honesty" are the qualities attributed by Sir Thomas Brown to the "true heroic English gentleman." Emerson calls a gentleman the finished man, the man of sense, of grace, of accomplishment, of social power. Buskin attributes to him fineness of bodily as well as of mental structure. Thackeray, who sometimes laughed at thiB word, asks, among other things. If a gentleman ought to be n true husband, of decent life, with debts all paid, with wisdom and lofty alms. It. would be a rash person who should describe these virtues as gentlemanly. In days of class division each class had its superiorities the peasantry, the gentry, and the bourgeoisie. Our ideal man today Is a combination, and he draws at least as much of his char acter from the bourgolnle, or middle class, as from tho aristocracy.

F one indicates little regard for himself or for the fellows of l,in straff vhnt inn hrfln rannfin ovnpnl fi-nm ntliura? Pro. cisely there Is the line drawn by journalists themselves against the profession of Journalism. It Is not that they do not really respect themselves and their co-laborers; they do. But by every possible method they convey tho Impression that they do not. They seem to prefer to be regarded ns cynical rattier than as sincere; 83 smart, alert, successful, rather than thoughtful, capable and worthy. Tho sneering, silly and Inexcusable remark, savoring of the vulgarity of the ostentatiously "solf-mado" man, "I am not a Journalist, I am a newspaper man," has done more to check the growth or iaeala In the eager minds or thou sands of young men than any like utterance upon the altar of epigram. Of all of us in this room who have given mind, heart and conscientious endeavor to public service there is probably not one whose perspective, at some point of his career, has not been blurred by this stupid differentiation. The contrast of terms is of course only phrasing and Inconsequential. But the Idea conveyed, the deliberate Insistence upon being regarded not merely B8 cynicists, but as mechanics, If not Indeed as day laborers, has been fruitful of Infinite harm, both within and without a profession requiring the greatest skill of Intellect, the finest discrimination between right and wrong, the most forceful form of expresson and the highest order of moral courage. That the most potent agency In the evolution of this American nation should be thus de based, even In appearance, is surely anything but creditable to those responsi ble for it and those who themselves should guard no more Jealously their own good name than the honor of their craft. To see the right is genius; to do it Is courage. Unite the two under the banner of sane idealism and the mort potent force in the cause of progress, enlightenment and good-will lies in the free press of America. h The Appreciation of Men of Genius By Henry M. Alden, Editor Harper s Magazine. ! NTIL a comparatively recent period say the last century few men of grent genius were Justly appreciated by their contemporaries.' The House of Fame received them not dur ing their lives, and the winds of human adulation blew only over their graves. In their own day they were sought for such personal qualities as were agreeable apart from their works, and there was, happily for their peace of mind, little public coacern ns to their domestic Interiors or as to their manners, grave er gay. This Immunity was no slight com pensation for the world's apathy or its stinted praise. We have changed all that. The eminent authors of our time will haro no future glory greater than we have driven them. The response of the contem porary audience is quick and full, and a beautiful sentiment of affection Is de veloped toward the author, who gratefully rejoices In both the laurels and the love.
