There la no joy like that of Easter

give expression to our joy. It wai
that Impulse that taught men and
women to wenr something new at this
season. The Easter hat has a slgnlfl
canee of Ita own. It means that thf
lovely, ornamental part of humanity
la rejoicing and very happy In the Joy
of Easter. It shows a responding to
the angel message "He Is Ulsen," and
says with Him we have risen also to
new hope, new life,
A few years ago a good bishop said
a good deal In denunciation of "$A
actually, JTi puld for a new hat," and
that by his faithful wife! I am not
sure, but I Imagine that since then a
good ninny twenty-fives have gone the
same way. And I cannot see anything
blameworthy In the expenditure, If It
has not taken money that should have
been spent In other good works.
For the best, therefore the most rep
resentative part of humanity, thereby
sets forth the joy of mankind In the
Resurrection, and the happiness that
has come to It from the defeat of sin

Mandrake and taster
Connected in Iceland
In Iceland there Is a quaint Kaster
superstition about that weird root, the
mandrake. If one wishes to become
suddenly rich and who doc not he
must porscs a mandrake root and
steal a coin from a poor widow at
early mass on Easter Sundny. When
the stolen coin Is placed beside the
mandruke It will, mysteriously and Im
mediately, draw all coins of like de
nominations to Itself from every indi
vidual's purse In the church. Hut the
root can only exercise this magic when
It Is dug from the ground on flood
Friday before sunrise by a man with
a shnrp sword and an undesirable
Mack dog. Superstitions any that the
terrible shrieks of the uprooted herb
will Immediately kill the black dog
and therefore save the mnn and bring
him luck and fortune. John of Arc I
supposed to have carried at all time
a female mnndrnke posseslng great
magical powers.
EASTER OMENS
IN ENGLAND and France it is
considered a good omen to see a
lamb on Easter morning when one
first looks out of the bedroom win
dow. If the lamb's head is turned .
toward the house any wish that is
made will come true. It is commonly
thought that the devil can take the
form of any creature in the world
except the lamb and the dove.

No recruit was so Insignificant thai
I'llrlch didn't know all about him be
fore he'd had a single pay day In the
Sixth; no detail escaped his wise old
eyes. And most of what he learned he
kept on tile simply by entrusting It to
memory.
Shortly after war wns declared, the
army did an afeaost unpreiedeiiied
thing. I'llrlch, the enlisted man. was
commissioned a major and ordered to
report to the adjutant general's de

road.
Noble stood on the porch of his
quarters, eyes following I'llrlch until
the erstwhile sergeant major had al
most disappeared. Then, with a shrug
of the shoulders toward the departing
soldier, he said sadly to bis adjutant:

Goldstein emerged from the war aa
a aergennt with a tterling record of
service. Not the least of his accom
plishments was delivering the mall on
time to his regimental headquarter!
during one of Its early visits on the
line.
Goldstein was i corporal and mall
orderly, l.i the mountains. He made a
single, jdlng passage with heavy mall
s:icks to an advanced p. c. Then he
decided his duties must be lightened.
On his second delivery, the mall
bags were strapped on the backs of
two burros. They were tiny animals
but one of them could have handled
all the sacks. It became the custom
for cooks along the steep mountain
trull to tempt the little norms as they
straggled past, with kitchen delicacies
from the army stores.
"Hey I You're delaying the Gold

stein would shout Indignantly to the
cooks. And he'd urge one burro, then
the other, Into action up the narrow
trail.
-I gotta use two of "em," he ex
plained confidentially to the regi

leave apota on 'em to reach with a

limb of a tree against the nearest
