EASTER.
Tomorrow is Easter Sunday and
the world has not lost interest in
the Easter story noi never will.
Every life must end in death the
yholehuiDan"race is on the quick-
step toward the grave and the
Easter story answers the question
"If a man die shall he live again?"
'If we go into these graves will we
come out again?"
The time will come when there
will be crape on the door the bells
will toll solemnly a mound will
be heaped on the hillside and one
by one we shall be gathered there.
Our hearts '
Like mulliod drums are beating
funeral marches to the grave
And we go questioning. But the
empty tomb ot the Easter story
tells ufl of the life beyond and of
hope and immortality and so we
love and celebrate Easter.
UNITED STATES COURT.
Commissioner Don Carlos Con-
stable Isbell. and Judge Denison
went to Fairland on last night's
train to arrange for the' opening of
the commissioner's court there on
the 17th inst. A comfortable and
convenient court room has ; been
provided and a set of records or-
dered.. Judge Denison enjoys the
distinction of filing the first civil
suit in the commissioner's court

here yesterday and is holding a
term at Muskogee He will be
up tomorrow and go to Miami
where the term begins Monday.

B. D. Pennington was probably
the first man to get "action" un-
der Judge Springer's intruder rul-
ings. He sent an officer up near
the Kansas line Thussday to eject
a woman from a place he bought
at sheriff's sale for $83 for which
be got judgment with $250 dam-
ages. B. L. LaFon wanted the
place to fill out his allotment and
Mr. Pennington directed the officer
if$50Qwas paid to yield posses-
' eionto Mr. LaFon. Learning by
telegraph this morning that the
money would be put up Mr. Pen
nington went home to Chelsea this
morning very well well satisfied
with his bargain.

"WHITE MAN'S BURDEN"
Another Poem on this Pop
ular Subject.
Kipling's celebrated poem has
become a household verse all
over the civilized world and it Is
said no poem ever written has
met such universal recognition
and that had Kipling never writ-
ten but these few verses he would
have won renown.
Top.qua.stee" The Chieftain's
gifted literary correspondent
wrote a poem cot long ago in an-
swer to it from the standpoint of a
Cherokee Indian which was
printed in The Chieftain and
which elicited much favorable
comment from literary ciroles.
Now Mr. Chas. H. Goffe of
Springfield Mo.i has written an-
other poem on the same subject
which was printed in the Spring-
6eld Republican a few days ago
and it certainly compares favor-
ably with that of the "World
Laureate." Below4s re-published
the poem in full:
What is the white man's burden
; Of which the poet sings?
' This laureate from the jungles
Who thinks such horrid things?
Who tells of apes and devils.
Of dark uncanny lands.
In language weird and aavuge
Scarce a mortal understands.
What Is the white man's burden?
Will eome one please to rise.
And tell a waiting anxious world
What Kipling's verse Implies?
TO souud the depth of Kipling's lore
And through his meamres trace
Prophetic of a mighty truth
Ihe kismet of the race?
tyhat is the white man's burden?
Let him declare who can.
Go search the page cf Sscred Writ
And learn God's mighty plan:
To Jacob was that burden given.
Io Israel's name addressed;
"In thee and in thy chosen seed .
Shall all the earth-be blessed."
And ye shall break the captive's yoke
The nation's gates shall bold;
Shall rule the Islands of the sea .
While time andseasons roll;
The cattle on a thousand hills;
F.u.rth'8 fullness all are thine
For Israel's seed in Isaac's name
Shall reign to bless mankind."
What is the white man's burden?
'Tis the scepter and the rod!
Ye cannot shirk the solemn trust
That bears the seal of God?
From Sinai's stern and awful fiont;
By lloreb's storm rent crest;
Through Ephrainwmd Mauasseh came
The race which He has blessed.
Dost see the march of Empire?
TUthe Saxon's battle lines!
The right is on the sunset shore
The left-the Phllliplues!
The center at Omdurman
Where rolls the slngglsh Nile;
The base is with "our Mothor Land"
Proud Britain's "Blessed Isle."
This is the white man's burden!
And these "the best we breed"
"The children of God's Covenant"
Who came of Israel's seed.
They rear tbe Cross of G lory
With freedom's flag unfurled.
And "the burden" of this mighty race.
Is the Empire of the World.

it wouldn't be entirely safe to

Wim of love divine;
Thy sweet-tongued story shall not pine;
When spring sliall come wnu hihi"b hj
To loose the long ice-fettered spray
And winter fleeing from its beams
Shall babble madding down the streams.
Thy timid smile shall greet the dawn
On garden walk and platted ln
And. ere the lilac's leaves appear
The Easter shall thy story hear;
Fair symbol of a grief so sweet
I almost hear thy pure heart beat.
