Information for Mr, Best. A county ofticer, a few day* ago, in speaking of effectual prohibition rela- iy a ted a little story that may prove of interest. He said that when North Carolina went dry, a certain liquor house g0*nj' wrote to a county ofticer of North Car- n*1* olina, asking him to furnish him with ply ; a list of names of persons who would likely have occasion to use his goods, <jhI1fc and if they made any sales on the list dish the ofticer would be allowed 10 per ^0r, cent on such sales. It seems that the J( ofticer happened to have a prohibi- pun tion list which had been tiled with him when the county went dry. He fc tore the heading ofT the list, and in a spirit of facetiousness, forwarded the .Ti prohibition list to the liquor house, thinking no more about it, In a short while he received a letter & pr thanking hinx for the excelleut list sing sent, enclosing sixty dollars, and stating that other substantial remittances jDg would follow. 11 A most reliable gentleman living in ber a town not so far away from here, hearing the statement, rather acqui- anoi esced in it. He said that bis town one would vote 75 per ceut agaiust the dispensary, and about 90 per cent of the foJ." voters drank liquor. cost ,<? bou: LOWNDESVILLE. b? resl< Lowndesville, April 12th, 1909. tj Misses Annie and Pet Hawthorn of Latl- ."T mer spent a day or two the first of last week ed t with relatives In this place. the Mr. W.

Jebuels In Ai\ Odd A ^ Russian Easter Custom WHILE tbe craze of giving anc collecting souvenirs on everj possible occasion is general ly looked upon as bekjg ex clustvely American, yet in onifnTspect at least, Russian women beat th< American women out and out. Among the Russian aristocrats the custom ol giving and collecting Easter eggs if universally followed, and some womei have carried It to an almost extrava gant extent Both the dowager empress of Russit and the young czarina have becorcu collectors of Easter eges, and theli collections in point of bfth value anc extent greatly excel those of othei wealthy Russian women, and as th< custom is widespread in Russia thai is saying a good deal. Among court circles it seems thai there is an unwritten law which hai existed from time immemorial that th< reigning czar shall give the czarim an Easter egg containing some valu able gift, which usually takes the forn of a reproduction of some recent not able event worked in precious metale and jewels. Alexander III., the father of th< present czar, never failed to observ< the custom, and the result is that th< dowager empress has some magnifl cent eggs among her collection. On( of the eggs given her by her husbanc ?the one she prizes more highly thar any other?is made of ivory and con tains a miniature ship made of solic gold mounted on a beryl stone. It ii saia mac tne goiauiiiim speui. uwi than nine months in making it Its intrinsic value, however, is by n< means the thing that appeals to tin empress herself. Its true value to hei lies in the fact that it is a souvenir ol the happy termination of what had been a most trying and anxious ordea! for her. It seems that the present czar, Nicho las II., had a most unreasonable lov< affair when a boy. The czar, his fa ther, insisted upon his visiting the con tinent, hoping that his ardor might b< somewhat cooled in that way. Arounc the world Nicholas waa accordinglj sent, and, as expected, the voyag< proved that the sayiDg "absence make* the heart grow fonder" is not universal ly true, 1UI Wlieu Uic jruuus yxmvc i.vr turned his love had died out. Never theless the empress grieved greatlj over the affair, which had been some what of a shock to society, and it wai a long time before she was really sat isfled that the danger was passed. Ai a souvenir of their happy escape frort what had at one time seemed about tx end in a royal scandal the czar present ed his wife on the following Eastei with the miniature gold ship, whicl was a perfect representation of thai in which the young prince had mad< his tour of the world, complete in everj detail, even the smallest cable beinfi accurately reproduced. Among the present czarina's collec tion Is a large golden egg enameled ir rose color, containing a small but per feet model of the state carriage ir which the young couple were driven t( the Cathedral of Moscow on the day ol their wedding. The model is made ol gold, with red enamel cushions, and uxue silver curiums me Duoycuucu ut golden wires, while on the panels th< imperial crown is inlaid in beautifu! diamonds and other precious stones This egg was given to the czarina a1 Easter of her coronation year. Not long ago the czarina received from her husband as an Easter present a jeweled heart set in rare many colored stones. This heart was surround' ed by twenty-five tiny miniatures ol the mpmbers of the Russian royal family. The Easter egg collections of th? empress and the czarina were exhibited at the Paris exposition, with th? rest of the crown jewels, and they were much admired. In all, the young czarina has ovei 125 different eggs, many of them having been given to her when she was a child. The collection of the empres? dowager Is somewhat smaller, but contains some ninety-five beautiful specimens.?Kansas City Star. Eaater of the Tjroleae, In no country of Christendom la there a more beautiful and appropriate celebration of Easter than that of the Tyrolese in Switzerland, where the resurrection of Christ is regarded as the veritable proof of revelation, and the season is joyfully and religiously observed. Bands of musicians, for which the Tyrol is famous, patrol every valley singing the Easter hymns to theii guitars. The people, wherever they go, respond by Joining in the singing and rejoicing. During the day the Easter singers, accompanied by crowds of children, present a picturesque sight with their flower garlanded hats. At night the scene Is even more cnarming as they go about with their lighted torches of pine singing glad refrains and awaking the echoes of the silent woods, the hills and the mountain villages?Jane A.
