Tbe christening day of tbe bell was tbe most perfect of that incomparably lovely season, the Louisiana spring. Tbe pale blue sky bad not a fleck In It Tbe bosom of tbe little prairie was spread with velvet; green sprinkled wltb buttercups and violets, and on tho edges of coulees bright willows rocked In tbe gentle breeze.

Arrived at Mansura, tho bell waa rev erently lifted and hung In tbe sheltered temporary scaffolding which- bad been provided for It at tbe church front, and around It the people arranged them selves In a wide circle.

"I wouldn't remove him, Mr. Secretary," replied Mr. Evarta quietly. 1 "Why not?" "I am afraid it will be an un pleasant thine to do. "My mind is made up," replied Mr. Blaine.
