"Worth More Than it Costs" Lots of farmers declare their telephone service is worth more than it costs. J. W. Harris, a well known farmer living near . Choccolocco, Ala., writes : "I had occasion to call our doctor not two hours after my telephone was connected with your exchange. My mother, who is very old. fell down the door steps and broke her arm, and I called the doctor. He was at my house before I could have gone to his residence, as he has ao automobile. "We would not be without our telephone for more than it costs and appreciate the assistance you rendered us." Our free booklet tells how you may have tele f>honc service on your farm at small cost.

When you are away from home and are not sure of the character of the water supply It would not be a had idea to make a few simple tests. The results may prove that It was decidedly worth while to take the trouble, says the New York Sun. Here are two tests that you can make very easily: Fill a tumbler with water, drop In a lump of white sugar, cover It with a saucer and let it stand overnight on the bricks at the side of the range, on the kitchen mantelpiece or. in fact, anywhere where the temperature will not sink below 00 degrees. If next morning the contents are clear the wa ter is pure. If, on the other hand, the liquid is cloudy some source of con tamination in indisputably proved. The second test is to drop a few grains of permanganate of potash into a tumbler of water, cover and let it stand for an hour. If the wat^r is still of the bright rosy color to which the chemical turned it. it is perfectly safe for drinking. If it is of a brown ish color It is impure, although the im purity may be of, the kind that boiling will rob of its power to harm. You Are Cause and Effect. You are the effect of a cause. You are yourself that cause. You are an acme of things accom plished and an encloser of things to be What you were yesterday, plus your efforts, is the cause of what you are to day. And it depends upon yourself whether you will treat your present self as a mere effect, resting in thai consciousness, or as a cause to be worked for and with,, to the end that your future self be greater and more powerful for good than It is now or has ever been in the past. It is up to the man. And no amount of sophistry can absolve him from the obligation, to choose the highest each and every day, choose to do his best under all conditions.? Elizabeth Towne in Nautilus. No Sourness. Assistant 1'rofessor Charles T. Cope^ land had reproved his students for coming late to class. "This is a class in English composition," he remarked, and added with sarcasm, "I'm not con ducting an afternoon tea." At the next meeting of the class one of the girls was twenty minutes late. Professor Copeland waited until she had traversed the room and found her seat. Then he remarked bitingly. "IIow will you have your tea, Miss Brown?" "Without the lemon, please."

It says to us: "Put on your best clothes, think your best thoughts and be as good and happy as you can. 1 he Lord of Christendom ; is risen. I he spring is coming back. Life begins again in the fields and parks and gardens. Let us be grateful to our Maker for life; let us rejoice in the present all we honestly can and take as hopeful a view of the future as common sense permits. "?Edward S. Martin in " I imes and Seasons." CARDS FOR EASTER. They Vie W'th Christmas Messages In Popularity Nowadays. The pretty eustoiu of sending appro priate cards at lCaster time grows in favor with every year, and the makers of these d.ijnty. trifles are beginning to tind ulmosr-as many- calls upon their I Ingenuity and their skill to meet the Easter as to supply the Yuletlde de mand. They no longer hold exclusive ly to the religious character of the spring festival, as they did for a long i time, or to the pictured celebrations of j the legends dear to chlldislK hearts. While supplying plenty of cards deal- ij ing with these themes, thc.v now reach J out for motives that deal solely with ' the sign* of awakening spring and with the thoughts and emotions that these arouse even anions those who do not respond to the religious Interpre tation of t he day. Among this year's cards there are I many quite elaborate and varied pres ! entations of the rabbit and the egg mo- j tives. There are cut out bunnies of \ ingenious construction and varied em-' ployment. dainty maids rising out of j flowers c?r eggs and flower cards and booklets in artistic coloring and with appropriate inscriptions in the greatest variety. A humorous note has been essayed by some daring designers, and there are Uttlp girls in old fashioned attire leading choirs of rabbits, downy chick ens devoting themselves to music, chubby babies struggling with band boxes, while grotesque rabbits look on in wonder. The postcards include ev ery variety of motive? humorous, floral, animal and religious. At Easter Time. The little (lowers came up through the i ground At Easter time, at Easter timo. They raided their heads and looked around At happy Master time. And every pretty bud did say, "Good people, bless this holy day. For Christ Is risen, the angels say, At happy Easter time." ? Laura K. Richards in Good Housekeep ing. v:' m ? ? ?>'e><?><$xjxr<?x^ THE MEANING OF THE RESURRECTION. By CARDINAL GIBBONS. The resurrection of Christ is the most signal and splendid evidence of his divinity. It is the keystone in the arch of faith, as it is the most brilliant lumi nary in the constellation of Christian festivals. A certain religious enthusiast named Leberaux once submitted to Talleyrand a project he en tertained of founding a new re ligion and asked the Frenoh statesman's views as to the feasibility of the undertaking. "You will certainly succeed," re plied Talleyrand, "and your name will go down with glory to posterity if you fulfill the con ditions which I propose." "And what are they?" eagerly in quired the visitor. "You must first suffer, be scourged and oru cified and then rise on the third day. Do this and your succsss is assured." This reply extin guished the zeal of the would be reformer. The moral of the witty Frenchman's remark is that as Christ alone, after en tering the portals of the tomb, returned by his own power to life he is without a rival. He alone has made good his claim to found a new religion and to merit the supreme adoration of mankind.
