Some thing pluk 011 her hat or around her | neck. 1 don't know Just what, hut Beth and her pink sunbonnet haven't been out of my tnind this afternoon. JJetli had a lovely peach-bloom com plexion. and those March winds down along the Delaware have such a way of bprniug delicate skins that Belli al ways wore sUnbonnets when we went off ou early spring tramps aud pink was her favorite color." "Easter was a great day at your bonse. Cousin David," remarked his companion. - -4> "*es, Mb and I usually spent the afternoon before hanging eggs and col oring Omni. There were great boxes of Htetfa behind the counter In father's store, but we preferred to run over to grandfather's farm, a mile or more away, end hunt for what wo wanted; It was fun. "Grandmother's reply to our yearly quastlon was ever the same. 'Certain ly. my dears; run out to the henhouse and fill your baskets.' Bat the sub stantial brick henhouse, with Its sit ting room and dining room and Its up stairs,-where the fowls went to roost, drew as not thither. We liked best to search for the hiding places of tbe ont-door bens; those tlist roamed over the farm at their own sweet will, stole their nests and laid whenever and wherever they pleased. There were no egg trusts la those days and no 'cor ners' in eggs, but plenty of nooks and corners where eggs were to be found, and we knew fimt where to look for tbemL Haystacks and strawstacks Were favorite depositories, and Beth qpd' I did lore to slfde down thosfe great, dean, conical piles. Mangers and haymows where wt loved to J amp. naif pons and dog kennels al ways yielded bountifully and gave us as end of fun. Strikes! Such things were unknown. Those bens knew that they were born to lay eggs, and there WW a Jubilant caching going on all day so mew lie re on the farm. It was •brays Easter with these hens. "After tbe egg-htmtlng Beth and 1 buried ourselves In tbe kitchen for tbe of the day, with Dots, pa us, , - I. kettles and dye-stuffs. It wouldn't have been half an Kaster to us without colored eggs. Logwood chips produced a beautiful purple, onion skins a yel low tinge. For variety we sometimes stuck bits of beeswax on the shells, which In these places remained white, and gave the eggs a spotted appear ance. "From mother's box of pieces, or from some neighboring mother's box, Beth brought forth bright-colored fig ured calicoes—reds, blues, greens, etc. —colors .lhat wouia -ran.' »ne sewed a bit of/the cloth round each egg; then ] we dropped them Into boiling water, wliejp they remained a few minutes, and came ont with the figures and col ors of the cloth stamped upon them. Artistic creatlona were there. We ex pressed our Joy by dancing around the room, then laid the eggs separately on platters and exhibited them to ad miring friends. "Oh, Beth! Beth! It's tweuty years or more since you went a war, and I'd give the world for a glimpse of your sweet face under that pink sunbonnet now," was the cry of the man'a yearn, ing heart. He bowed his bead upon Ills bands, and for a few moments aecmed lost In thought. The March wind whistled ,and shrieked without, emphasising the si lence within. "Sarah," resumed Mr. Harris, rising suddenly, "I'd like to have John anJ hla sister spend Easter with us; what do you say?" "Why, yes, of course, with nU my heart." "We'll have them eome then, and we'll give them all the eggs they cau eat for once. Don't believe the* sver saw u hen's nest In their lives. The next day Mr. Harris Interviewed his olllce boy. "John," said he, "who looks aftsr j'ou since your annt died?" "My sister Alice, sir." "How old Is she?" "Going on twelve, sir." "Well, I want you and Alice to spend the day with me to-morrow. Come to M Central avenue. We breakfast at 0." "Thank you. sir," replied John, his eyes falily sparkling as he thought of the good news In store for Alice. "Well bred, It they are poor," was Mr. Harrla' mental comment as John and Alice appeared before him the next morning. Their fresh young voices and cherry faces charmed him, and before the day waa over he had fully resolved to adopt the orphans. "They haven't a relative that they know of," he said. "1 c„n never be young again, and Beth cau never come back to me, so I'll bring tbem bere and we'll have a new Beth and David growing up In the old home. Cousin Sarah and I have lived alone for fif teen years, and we're getting a bit rus ty; bnt these young people will bright en us up; they'll put new life tabr us and Oil the old house with Joy. I'll take them out on the farm next sum mer and show tbem whst hens' nests nud haystacks are like. We'll bave Easter every day in the year." That night Mr. Harris bad a long talk with bis "homekeeper," as be playfully called his cousin Sarah, some ten years hla senior, and the result was that John and Alice found a happy home and warm hearts to care for them, and an because of sweet mem ories qt a happy childhood and a lov Ing sister Betb.-B. d.

It is said tbst the reason Easter Kites are the flowers chosen to decora churches Is because of Christ's alln slon to the "lilies of the fleld." which He spoke of !■ His Sermon on the Mount, telling His bearers to "coii aider them."

Mac Arthur at the Malacaaang palace. He talked freely, but seemed Ignorant concern ing recent even's. He acpearad 40 b» In good health and was very cheerful. He lunchfed with the officers of Gen. Mac'ArLhur'a staff and was then es cort od to the Anda street jail. Agultt akto's capture was attended with con siderable difficulty, an Inmirgent ma jor being killed at the time of event. Twenty rifles and a number at Important papers were captured. Gen. Fred Funston, who, March IS, captured Km II to Agulnaldo, when In t»/viewed by the representative ot the Associated Press, mads the following Statement concerning the capture of the Filipino leader: The confidential agent of Afpilnaldo arrived February 28 at Pantab&ngan, in the province of Nueva K Ja, north ern Luzon, with letters, dated Janu ary 11, 12 and 14. Thee# letters were from Emlllo Agulnaldo and directed Baldormero Agulnaldo to take com mand pi the provinces of Central Luton, supplanting Gen. Alejandrlno. Emlllo Agulnaldo also ordered that four hundred men be sent him as soon as possible, saying that the bearer of the letter would lead these men to where Agulnaldo was. Gen. Funston secured the corres pondence of Agulnaldo's agent and laid hla plans accordingly. Some months previously ho had captured the camp of the Insurgent Gen. lacuna, Incidentally obtaining Lacuna's seal, official papers, and a quantity of Signed correspondence. Fiom this material two letters were constructed, ostensibly from Lacuna to Agutnaldo. One of these contained Information Mto the progress of the war. Tin other assorted that pursuant to or ders received from Baldormero Aguln aldo, Lacuuna was sending hU te»t company to President Bui 1 lie Agutn aldo. Ills plan* rtompleted and approved, Gon. Funston came -to ManlU and or ganised his expedition, selecting 7S Macab»brs, all whom spoke '('agalog fluently. Twenty wore Insurgents' uniforms and the others the clothing of Filipino laborers. IMacabobe company, armed with 60 Mauser*, 18 llpminttoni and 10 Krag-Jor»ns.?ns, was commanded by Capt. Ruesell T, llatsard Of the 18th U. 8. Volunteer cavalry. With him wis his brother, Lieut Oliver P. M. Haxsard, of tho same rtgimeat. Capt. Harry W. mewnyi, n+u> trufantry, was taken be cause of his familiarity with uaslgu ran bay, and Llout. Burton J. Mitch ell, of the 40th Infantry, went aa Gen. Funston's aide, These were the only Americana accompanying the expedi tion. Wltih the Macabebeß were four ex- Inpuigcnt oflcerß, one being a Span ish, and the other three Tagalos, who n Gen. Funstoh trusted Im plicitly. Gen. Funston and the American offi cers wore plalh\J>ljift._ shirts and khaki trousers. They carried each a half blanket but wore no Insignia of rank. The Macabebes were carefully instructed to obey tile orders ot the tour ex-Insurgent officers. On the night of March Bth the party embarked on the United States gun boat Viclesburg. It was originally In tended to take cascoes from the Island of Pollllo and to drift to the main land, but a sitorm aroee and three of the cascoes were lost. This plan was abandoned. The camp of the Insurgent leader was surprised, and the party of Col. Funston was ordered to Are. The Macabebes opened Are, but their ali:n waa rather Ineffective, and only three Insurgents were killed. The rebels returr.od the fire. Ou the firing, AgulnnMo, who evidently thought h's men were merely cele brating the arrival of relnfo-cements, ran to th? window and shouted: ' Stop that foolishness!—quit walstlng ammunition." * Hllarlo Placldo, one «f the Tagalog officers and a forme- Insurgent major, who was wounded In the lung by •iie fire of tie Kansas regiment a', the bat. tie ot Caloocan, tUrW tls arm 3 iround Agulnaldo, exclaiming "You are a prisoner of tho Americans." 001.
