As wo neared the city we knew that Jerusalem was alrcndy filled to over flowing with these pilgrims, because the roads leading Into the city were lined on either side with crowds of tlioso pilgrims camping in the ditches, with their pots and pans and bedding. Although it was midday when wo arrived and the sun beat down mercilessly, many 6f these tlrod pilgrims had spread a small scaif or shawl across sticks and woro sleeping in Its shade. SU11 they contlnuod to flock into tho city, carry ing palm branches in tholr hands, until all the highways round about Jerusalem woro lined with these weary but devout people. One could not help pitying them, while at the samp tlmo admiring their wonderful dovotion. Thousands of Uiem had walked hundreds of miles through RuBsia and across inhospitable Turkey, being treated In tho latter placo moro like dogs than human beings. If thero is one thing above another a Turk hates, something that arouses his Mohammedan Indignation, it is tho sight of those Christians, devout mombors of the Greek church, plodding afoot across the sultan's domain with but one thought In view to klsa tho tomb of Christ. You can only marvel at tholr religious zeal which enables them to withstand tho tortures of a long Jonrnoy and tho abuso of tho cold-blooded Turks. Fortunately, our quarters had been reserved long In advance, otherwise we; too, would have been forced to camp among tho pilgrims beside tho highway. As theso pilgrims come in sight of tho Holy Land they fall upon their kneoB, faci Ing tho Jerusalem thoy lovo, so simple and beau tiful Ih tholr faith, Jerusalem's places of Interest during the Easter week aro many. They are mado memorable through their association with Christ on and prior to the day of his crucifixion. Wo first vis ited tho Garden of GotliBemane, whore, bo many years ago, he wont to pray, "Not my will, but thine." This is really a very small plot of ground, about twenty flvo foot square, containing many flowor beds and somo oxtremoly old olive trees. AlwpyB kept In good order, on tho occasion of EaBtot this hallowod gurdon Is mado glorious with beds of flowers In full bloom. Thoro Is also the Via Dolorosa, or "the street of sorrows," through which Christ passed on his wuv to Calvary. Along this street aro tho vari ous stations of tho cross, recording tho Incidents lu this memorable Journey. Then thero Is the Church of tho Holy Sepul cher. whore tho claborato Easter ceremonies aro held This churoh Is In reality a massive build ing containing vast congorles of churches, chapels and shrines In which tho various sects worship. Thoro aro within theso walls thirty seven so-called "holy places," although It must be said that thoro Is a gravo question as to tho authenticity or many of these. Ab wo approached tho outer gaes of this church wo woro annoyed by tho painfully incon gruous note which was struck by tho deafening medloy causod by tho yelling and screaming of dealers in "articles do plete." or. In othor words, "holy rollcs." All aorts of vendors woro shout i n tho tons of tholr voices and oagorly clutching at all comers In tholr frantic endeavors to make a sale representative uvawumuimo Mkgft wsw&Jsxmi timMBWsXW IP ..rtfc $.jsi s . m rh.' :. ri.?' u., . i... , K2ataB& V. v SNer - fflWJu.tX.vA, vj ,, , ' "MmF&m w- rt'"'t.., v fc -j y' Vi&.- & '"V'V mv:& ttMttBftMAtjdg(fcjfeR Tlffi iVfT K '?Wv'1f9HKHiPliif VKVl f ra' yW. .--.&&. vniKJint trf v Kn. &a lHIBtfUn&iflH 'l5, W.MBBBB v awr.-.

The first of tho Easter services In the holy city consists of tho "washing of feet." This occurs on the Thursday before Good Friday. It Is a Greek ceremony, short and unexciting, and takes placo In the courtyard of the church. Not withstanding that it is unexciting, every available space in the courtyard and every commanding window and rooftop was occupied as the Greek patriarch bethed the feet pf twelve of his priests as thoy wero seated upon a little platform. On the next day Good Friday we witnessed tho Latin corcmon."' of the crucifixion. This is interesting in a way, but somewhat shocking to the occidental idea. This ceremony takes place over what is said to bo the actual alto of tho crucifixion. It Is performed beforo a cross on which a dummy IlgUro has been nailed. At the conclusion tho figure Is taken down from the cross and placed In a white shoot, the crown of thorns and tho nails drawn from tho "hands" and "feet" bolng placed on silver salvers. After th.lt a procession Is formed which leads to the stone of unction, where sermons are delivered In six different languages. Saturday afternoon wo witnessed tho ceremony of tho "holy flro," to tho minds of the pilgrims the most Important of all, Thero is a certain imprcssIvencBS about It, but tho grandeur is lost In thu mad strugglo botwocn the Latin and Greek worshipers that changes what should be a Bolomn ceremony Into a veritable mob scene. At the tlmo wo were thero much talk was heard of either abandoning this ceremony or greatly modifying It, and I must confess that all of our party jigreed that unless It could bo conducted In an orderly manner It should certainly bo aban doned. There Is an old tradition In Jerusalem that long after Christ had arisen and departed from tho holy Hopulchor holy flro from heaven was seen to descend Into the sepulcher. Time has deprived this tradition of tho greater part of its weight, but It must bo admitted that many of tho poor faithful but Ignorant pilgrims still bo- Home Mm TifelpsT GOOD IN FLOWER GARDENS Their Cultivation Is of Help to Children and to the Neighborhood. the ffl&riSEBR CRQJSJZS YU&ipmfjmixxiGXQSa. leve the (lames they wit ness to be literally holy Are. We secured a good van tage point from one of the upper balconies, and by two o'clock the church was filled to overflowing with a zealous yet excit able mob. Tho Greek patriarch, accompanied by the Armenian high priest, entered the holy sepul cher, and Instantly there was a hush throughout all the church. On either side of the sepulcher aro holes, and booh flames ap poured through these holes. Instantlythe strug glo commenced. To us It was a terrible sight to seo the pilgrims flght to get near tho holy flame Each pilgrim held a candle, and his heart's dcslro was to light this candle by the holy fire. Within ten minutes the thousands struggling around the holy sepulcher Inclosure had lighted their candles, and tho church was a mass of tiny HghtB from each of these candles. Wo wero told that much bettor order hac been maintained on this EaBter during the holj flro ceremony than ever before, and we could bul wonder what some of the past ceremonies won like, since five personB were removed on stretch ers while wo looked on, having been severely In jured by being pushed down and trampled on by the struggling mob. It was interesting but by no means comfort lng to note tho hatred exhibited on every hani by the Turks. Wo watched the lino forming for a prooesslor where tho Turkish soldiers wore drawn up ai a guard, much as city policemen keep b.'ck tb crowds during a parade In this country. When ever a Turk got In the crowd he was well handled and assisted to a vantage point if ho cared to aeo, although for tho most part tho Turka would not deign to look upon It. Whenever one of thf Christians was pushed by tho crowd into tho lint of Turkish soldiers ho was promptly and effective ly pounded with the butt of a rifle. Not openly, but rather surreptitiously, the soldier stared straight front nt the sumo time he mallclouslj and viciously dabbed backward with rifle butt, generally grievously hurting whoever was unfor tunate enough among the pilgrims to bo crowded against the lines. Abovo all It was the Armenians who were thus abused. On Sunday morning thoro wero more cere monies In the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. These ceremonies wero conducted In man Ian guages, and tho vestments worn by tho priests were unusually gorgeous. At noon on Sunday the Easter week ceremonies wore over for tho year. An hour later the reat army of pilgrims was flocking out of tho city. In all dln-ctlons thoy were traveling with ihelr few belongings In bundles, but by far tho greater number journeyed out on tho highways that led acroBB tho Holy Land and Into Russia. Tly night not a pilgrim remained, while all along the roads round about the holy city were left tho litter and tho ashos of the campl res where so many thousands had encamped (lining tho week. The next day Jerusalem became tho same quiet, sleepy city that It was when thu man of sorrows rode into It and was taken be fore Pilate. Thoso having in charge tho garden work of tho city schools aro also en couraging tho building of children's gardens at homo. Theso Juvonllo ef forts may control tho wholo gardon or be confined to a small space only, ap propriate prizes having been olfered for each, and also for every possible phase of homo gardening. This work should engogo the serious attention of every parent to tho extont of pro vision for children's gardens In the homo premises Just as coon as tho hardest seasonal rains aro over, which should bo about tho tlmo thoso words appear In print. Sovcral years ago, when personally interested in the start ing of school gardens In Los AnBelea tho City Beautiful editor reprinted tho following good reasons why children should have homo gardens and be en couraged In tho work. Nearly every one of them applies with equal forco to school gardens. 1. Wherever it has been tried, tho children have been moro willing to , stay at homo and have taken more In- " terest in tho homo because thoy love pretty things. 2. Thoy have learned to bo neat and regular In their work and to take a personal pride In it, that goes a long way toward keeping thorn good and happy. 3. It gives light and pleUBant exer cise In tho open nlr and offers some thing that can bo seen and enjoyed in return for tho work. 4. It gives safe companionship. 5. It teaches many things about out door llfo that are worth much moro than thoso learned In tho streets. 6. It makes Uio child feel that ho does something for tho homo, and this is a great safeguard. 7. It gives occupation and relieves much of tho restlessness that is so, trying to tho mother. 8. It gives a feeling of ownership and control that strengthens character. 0. It will give flowers for tho house all summer and fall. 10. A flower garden Is contagious. It appeals not only to its owner, but y to a wide circle of people. In look ing at 11, neighbors begin to reallzo that their houses, their lawns, their walks, their doorways, Uielr back yards, are all great gossips that tell tales to every passer-by, and unlike most gossips, they tell the truth. Loa Angeles Times. PLAN FOR CITY MANAGERS Kansas Municipalities May Bo Given Power to Hire Expert to Look . After Affairs. T An enabling act that will allow -the cities of Kansas to name a city man ager to handle all tho business of a city was Introduced in tho senato by Senator Howe of Dickinson county. Abilene, Senator Howe's home, has been operating under a city manager plan. The bill provides for tho se lection of city commissioners and a mayor as under tho present commis sion government law. They aro to recelvo a nominal Balary and aro di rected to name a city manager, who Is to serve for an Indefinite time, and cannot bo removed except upon written charges, and must be given a chance to defend himself. All city employees are to bo named by a civil sorvlco board, except tho heads of each city department. Tho commission is to havo nothing to do but pass ordinances for tho gov ernment of the city, and tho city man ager is to attend to all the business of tho city and Is directly responsible to the city commission for hts acts. ThoJaw requires that tho manager bo experienced In handling engineering and utility problems. Tho law Is mado optional and before tho city can hire a city managor a vote must bo had In favor of tho plan.

A writer In tho Southern Woman's Magazine calls gardens "tho solution tor misspent leisure In childhood." "There Is great economic truth," she says, "at tho bottom of the garden movement, and Its value has been rec ognized long ago In European coun tries, which havo brought about differ ent forms of development. Austria es tablished experimental gardeus in Jti rural schools as far back as 1801) Swltzerjand, Germany and England have a gardon courso in their public schools, while Franco goes farther and maintains not only flower and vege table gardens, but includes orchards, forestry and bee Industry. Tho garden movement is of special significance In cities where largo numbers of children aro turned out on the streets to loiter, teaso and maraud. Whon tho welfare workers and educators fully realize the far-reaching value of this movement It will spread like wlldflre over tho coun try.
