The People's Journal PICKENS S. C Mrtha Ioatowsky. A girl descended the steps of a groa gray church. In her hand she held i violin case; a roll of music lay foldet within her arm. She pausedl upon tht lower step to reulasp the fastening o: her long black cloak. The hood whicl was attached fell from her head ant disclosed a fair face with beautifu dark blue eyes. The falling hood (is" arranged her hair, which hung in curl ing red-ol waves about her face. She stretched forth I white hand and gathered ip tho music and violin case. As she reached the street she ab ruptly met the gaze of a stranger; for an1 instant they looked into each other's eyes. She saw i man wit h at frank, pleasant face, and dark, pointed beard. 'lie must he an artist,'' she thought, 6 but he looked as if he were success ful.'' In the lhiemIa whichi she in halbited she 11a1d niever seen the sue cessful artist.

She drew the be slowly across the strings, tender: screwed the key of the violin, the broke softly into the pure-toDed East< music. Softly It ascended until. seemed to pierce the mouldering cel Ing, scending through the misty gloom of the city twdlight; ever upward nt; It rang triumphantly beside the fal: evening star which shone upon at 'Easter lily. The next morning the bells rang oui fromt It. John's church in sweet, glad melody, "lie Has IRisen." Tt'e Jarge church was filed with worshipers, who orame attired in rich com es,nm in memorativo of the Joyous tilnes. A " grey light fell through the loft staiuet windows upon the head of the rector who read the words, " For if we hav< been planted together in the likeness of Ilia death, we shall be able also in the likeness of His resurrection." The choir sang a glad, triumphant chorus; then a girl arose and her slender finl gers drew a bow softly across the strings of a violin. A young ian L turned his kindly hazel eyes toward t the organ loft, and beheld the slentier I ligure clad in black; her ruddy golden hair curled about her brow; upon her f breast, was pinned a white lily. Softly the violin mourned Christ's sufferings in the gardenl, the betrayal, the doom, the death, the universal sor row; thon came the pure expectant, note of hope. People turned wit,h breathless inter est toward the organ loft and saw it gentle, youthful face bonding slightly upward. A clear sunbeam breaking from beneath the grey clouds and rising city mists quivered through the stained mulhloned windows, full upon the girl's golden head, tinged the petals of the lily upon her bosomn, then bhu-tr into at Hood of sunshine from chaneel to organ loft. The clear, vic torious music arose, " Ile llas lIisen." The congregat ion arose in all the pervading love and renewed happiness, whiih seeued to descend fromt heaven to earth. The music rang in sweet h:irloy, then died inl Ia triumphant note of joy and love. laltrtha tiescended a dim stairway, wich led from the organ left. She ca:rried her violin; tie bhick hood draw n close coultt nt conceal the rich hair wthichi shone beneath. 'l'hree peo. plt stood at the hottom of tle stair a ki'illy-facett, grey-haired old gen tienan, who was iluly stauped with the mark of plosperity; a lady, erect, richly dressel, with ha dra'wn a Ia Pompnkaloilr, s'oodt proutdly at his side. 1 evondt was the n:ti with the dark, ha'ei eyes atdll pointed heard.

T111: IIII PRICE OF 11ER Fiarianer Osg1t, to Appreciate tihe Iniportalee of Cattl< Riml i ig. The Columbia correspontlent of thi News and Courier makes the followinl observations on a matter of interest t( all farmers in South Carolina : There has been a great <teal in th( newspapers recently about the " Bee Trust " and how it has raised the pric( of beef o the market. The light ha had its good and its bad results so fai as this State . is concerned. It 1lim raised the price, to the consumer, of tih meat he has had to buy, but, on ti other hanl, it has emnphasiz<ed the op portunities for stock raising in this sec tion. It has opened up a market foi South Carolina cattle and, while tht price of hotno-raised beef has had tc go up with the price of Western meat it has put money into the pockets 01 those who had forethought and weni into the market and bought beef foi Northern and Western markets. In previous lights that the '' heel Ti tist " has had the Southern markets have been ignored. No one thought there was beef enough here to supply an1y domand 0r to amotant,11 to anyt31hm g, lyWhen the recent raise was enforced the retailers in the North and East tigired on how they could get meat to supply the demand and not have to buy it all from the iembers of the or. ganiz.ation, which had raised their prices. ''hey sett agents through the South and it was not long before they found a great man1y tuore cattle than they suspected in South Carolina, that were waitlng to go to the slaughter pen. ''hose who had bought the cattle andl put them up in pens found a suid. deti demand, and where they had been sellin,_, to local dealers for three or three and a half cents gross, they found it just 'As easy to sell for a cent more on evcdy pound, and then those who knew the conditions went to work to gather ing up cattle and getting them near' som1e cottol seed Oil plant or othel place where qIluick fattening food was easily to be had, and better prices were to be htatl as a result of the tattoned Condiitionls of the animals, I i st ated ol aut horny that not less than t0ti head of cattle were shipped from \Winnshoro within the last few months and fulls' as many head went from Columbia. T1he samle conditionu existed in other parts of the State. Most of the cattle were shipped t( l;ichnond ail fr,u there distributet to the various miatkets. after havin, been grnded and caisiled.
