This is confined to no coun try or people,' but is universal. Now comes the gov ernment Of the United States apd adds another game that is qualified to stand pretty close to the leader. It is saving another man’s money. Maybe, it will be more accurate to say, how much the other man ought to save, and how he ought to spend what, he doesn’t put away in barrels and boxes. A “tight wad” is now defined as a man who saves 60 cents of every dollar he acquires, spends 37 cents in supporting himself, and three cents for giving, education and recreation. This gives one a basis for calculation, but we fear that not everybody will take time to work out the standing of his neighbor. The spendthrift is the man who spends everything; the thrifty man is one who saves 20 cents, spends 60 cents for lining, and 10 cents each for education, recreation and giving. Very good. Now, go on from here. What about the unfortunate individual who al ways figures in the calculation used by the experts for comparing income with outgo? One of these clever jugglers will, with a few strokes of the pencil, show you that it costs $1,728.63 to live, and that the average income is but $1,416.22, leaving you wonder where the odd $312.41 needed to make up the budget comes from. Then again, what about the fellow who finds that it takes ail he eams to meet the obligations of family expenses? He is neither a spendthrift nor a tightwad. He saves little or noth ing, unless the permanent investment he makes in home and children be called saving. His wife gets no wages, works for her board and clothes, and helps to make possible the home. He stints himself on many things, to carry out the bargain he made when he takes to himself a wife and sets up a home. Yet, we submit, this man is really saving more, accumu lating more for the grandeur and perpetuity of the nation than the one who has a continually accumu lating hoard of saved up earnings. Poor Richard’s maxims and Wilkins Micawber’s platitudes are well to quote, but the man who pays his debts, rears his family, owns his home, hnd dies with just enough to bury him, has oeen thrifty and useful. If he gets any more, because his income is larger or his management better, give him credit for it, but do not denounce as a tightwad one who lives well within his means, planning for a day to come when he will not be able to accumulate, or as a spendthrift the man who finds his income no more than sufficient for his needs. And remember, the more you have, the more grim satisfaction the tax collector will get out of a visit to you. PLAYING THE GAME. The boys are playing marbles; on every play ground and corner and dooryard you can see them with their ring, marked off with a stubby boot-toe, playing the game so dear to boyhood everywhere. So intent are they in the game that they are heed less of the passerby, and you stop for a moment to tvatch them. ' The characteristics of each are revealed with startling clearness as the game proceedi. There is the one who makes his play as earnestly as if gov ernments depended upon the outcome, and there is '.he one who plays carelessly, and stands aside, in different to the result. There is another who watches, eagle-like, every play of his fellows, and who interprets every move on their part as of cun ning intent; his voice frequently rises above the Shouts of his companions in the cry of ‘‘cheat, cheat." And there is the hoy who gloats over the others when he wins the game, but who scowls and becomes sar castic when he loses. ' And there is the bright-faced laddie whose smile i« like the sunshine, and whose merry whistle rings out clear and shrill through all the varying noises. Perhaps he has not been the winner in a single game, yet he plays again and again, h.s enthusiasm un dampened by his reverses, and the pure joy of the game in his face. As you watch the players, the expressions on their faces, and their attitude toward the results achieved, your mind leaps ahead to tha time when these laddies have outgrown their boyhood games and are playing a greater game on a larger play ground. How will they play their part; will the characteristics that show so plainly today still be the ruling forces in their lives, or will they have learned that the greatest rule for any game is the spirit in which the game is played. Happy the lad whose boyhood games teach him that "When the one great Scorer comee To write against youh name; Ho writes not that you won or lost, Hut how you played the game." J _- __ THE SIGNS OF SPRING. Yesterday the leaves lay in heaps along the roadside, dust covered and brown; the trees stood jtark and bare, and the empty nests swung idly »rom the branches. Winter’s touch lay upon the world, and the sky was gray. But today thero is magic in the air, everywhere there is the stir erf life, and the glad assurnnee that spring is near. Someone made a bonfire of the dusty leaves and the air is blue with the fragrant smoke, and mingled with It Is the sweet moist odor of freshly turned soil. Across the newly raked lawn the gras* shows faintly green, and here and there a tulip is pushing its wny out of the ground. And, best of all, the robins have returned to the old nest under the porch roof and are putting it in order. You heard their chatter, and could scarcely believe your ears, but there they were, making themselves at home, and you felt as if a dear friend had returned from a far journey. You watched them with a feeling of joy at your heart, and then across the opert fields came aweet and clear, the song of the meadow lark. The skies mny be gray again tonlbrrow and Jack Frost may give us a nip of hi* breath before he takes his leave, hut “the year’s at the spring;’’ the robins and meadow larks are here, and their sweet songs of hor£ are filling our her/rts, anil we know that “God’s in His heaven, nil's right with Ul Vorld” L ' . t THE HEART LEAPS UP. Around the Cross the rose entwines, out of the Empty Sepulcher has risen triumphantly the Savior of Mankind, victor over Death, holding out to all hu manity the prospect of life everlasting. "I am the resurrection and the life, saith the I,ord, and whosoever believeth on Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live, and whoso liveth ami believeth, he shall never die.” Easter is but the reminder of the Life after Death, the fulfillment of the hope of mankind, clung to from the earliest times. Long before Jesus came on earth to teach the Vernal Equinox had symbolized to the race the rebirth of the soul, Pagan views had varied as to details, as to substance they were one. Man possessed an immortal part, that survived the grave, and would be born again after the cold winter of death, just as in the springtime Mother Earth renewed her life. The ice loosened its fetters on the streams, the rains came, the sun shine blessed the hill and vale, the mountain and the meadow; sap ascended the trees, new animation stirred at the root of things, sheds sprouted, buds unfolded, and all the earth bloomed in the wonder of verdure and blossom. So with man. If the life of nature was renewed, why should not that of man also stir again, after the brief period of death? And, if man had an immortal soul, why should it not ascend to a higher plane, to a more desirable way of existence, freed from the sorrows and privations of this world? The belief was natural, and was widespread, hold ing as it did the prospect of a reward to be enjoyed after the worry and care of mortality had dis solved into immortality. Man knew how to die, in the hope of happiness, in Walhalla, in Elysium, or in some other form of substantial bliss. Jesus taught men how to live. He laid down the precepts that would make conditions on earth more endurable, that would soften the asperities of life here, and following which would ensure a life to come. The Nazarene sought most of all to change a world of wickedness, of cruelty and hardship, into one of beauty, of joy aand happiness, by asking that the Law of Love be made the rule of life. He sealed with His blood the truth of His teach ings. His death and resurrection are the symbols j to mankind of the reality of the things He taught. Almost twenty centuries have elapsed into eternity, and yet the simple maxims of the Man of Galilee hold out to men the certainty of right living here bringing a harvest of content on earth, and the equal certainty of another life, beyond the grave, where "Man, immortal shall be happy," and where we will come to understand better God’s mysterious ways. “For now we see as through a glass, darkly; then, face to face." k NEBRASKA ARTISTS AND AUTHORS. Communities, like private enterprises, have their periods of busy growth and their periods of thought ful accounting. Nebraska, and the Missouri valley generally, has passed through its generation of pio neering and its generation of organization, and it has reached a generation calling for reflection. The earlier periods were relatively simple: The tasks were obvious and they were at hand. The period of ma ] turity is much more complex: The furrows have been plowed, the first crops, sufficient to sustain life, have been raised, and now the problem of perma nent farming—improved breeds, rotation, pasture land and field, the beautification of the homestead —is the problem before us. Fundamentally, it is the problem of the kind of culture and the value to be set upon the culture which is to make life worth lining on these prairies in the generations of the future. The end has come to the old rotation of land corn-hogs for the sake of more land-com-hogs. In its place (if we may paraphrase Lincoln’s jest) we want hominy for homo, land and food and wealth for the better life of men. And* if our culture is to amount to anything that better life must come in the form of the arts. It is literature and architec i turc, and painting, and music and drama which have been the crowning glories of every worth while civilization. We, too, must have these, na tive to and springing from our own soil, if our prairie civilization is to make of the prairies a land worth living in and dying for. We must have an art as native as our maize fields. It is with such reflections in mind that The Omaha Bee is undertaking to take stock of Ne braska’s present progress in things of tho spirit. No one has as yet made any real survey of the creative resources of the state, and few of us are acquainted with the fact that there is among us a real ferment of artistic impulse. We have men and women, youths and maidens, who are gifted and active, and who need only public encourage ment to give us here as good as the best—and, what is more important, to give us what belongs to us, our best. We believe that they deserve local patron age; that Nebraskans should acquaint themselves with their books, if they are writers; give them commissions, if their work is in the fine arts; en gagements, if they are musicians or players. It is only to that we may come to understand ourselves and respect our own powers. The Omaha Bee is well aware that Nebraska has already produced a series of men and women in the arts whose fame is national. John G. Nei hardt, poet; Willa Gather, novelist; Gutzon Borg lum, sculptor; Lawton Parker, painter—these are a few, known to everybody. But the pinch is that these men and women have all been compelled to go beyond the borders of their state to secure the reputation which they have made for us. • It is time that we conn to a realization of what we have, in the way of achievement and of promise, still in our midst, and take the simple measures which will secure its retention. Nobody doubts that if the state capitol which the genius of Mr. Good hue has designed for us is permitted to go forward to proper completion under the hand of the arch itect it will become our greatest public treasure, re paying a thousandfold ita costs. It is also true that if we encourage the talent that is born or that dwella in our midst we shall thereby make Nebraska not only a name abroad, but a habit of life within, that will be our proudest and dearest possession. Today The Omaha Bee ia inaugurating a aeries of brief aketchea of Nebraska artists and authors. Certain rules have been laid down in making the selections; contemporary interest and achievement is stressed; promise is taken into account. Many of the names and faces will he already fumilinr to the public; othsra will be lesa known than they should be; stitl others are, quite new. But it is the conviction that, imperfect as such a series must necessarily be, the public will derive an advantage* from the mere presentation in gallery of its creative men and women. la everybody satisfied with the approaching cut in running expenses of Nebraska? "Positively, Mr. Gallagher." "Absolutely, Mr. Bhchan!” Curious Customs at Eastertide i _j_ Though the celebration of Easter dates back into | antiquity, it was not generally observed in the United | States until the time of the civil war, when people's | minds naturally turned with special fervor tq the j lesson of the resurrection. The Puritans looked with disfavor upon the display and ceremony that characterized the Easter festival, and New England was the last part of the country to adopt this oleas ant and stimulating custom. Their attitude in fine was matched by their attitude toward Christmas, which they attempted to supplant with Thanksgiving day. ’ i In some of the states such as Louisiana and Vir ginia, this ancient European custom was transplant ed immediately. Certain denominations such as the Catholics, Episcopalians and Lutherans emphasized the meaning of the day from the first. William S. Walsh in his handbook, “Curiosities of Popular Cus toms,” declares that about the time of the war be tween the states the Presbyterians began to preach Easter sermons and adorn their churches with EaStep flowers. ' ‘ Though this is a Christian festival, and full of spiritual significance, many of the customs of the ! day reach back far into pagan times. Among the ! primitive sun worshippers the advent of th* vernal I equinox, when the sun passes from south to north and day and night are of equal length was a period of great joy. The awakening of nature from the death of winter aroused amotlg pagan peoples some thing of the same feeling that Christians feel at the resurrection of Christ from the grave. Easter Sunday became known in the early church as the “Sunday of Joy.” Old writers refer to the happy crowds, in resplendent new dress who filled the churches on that day to do honor to the occa- ; sion. All labor ceased, alms were given to the poor and slaves were freed. It w'as a favorite time for baptism, and in the reaction from the austerities of Lent, people gave themselves up to sports, dances , and amusemepts of many kind?. In some places the clergy told humorous storie- and legends to increase the mirth and rjjuse the “Easter smile.” People exchanged'the Easter kiss and the salutation, “Christ is risen,” to which the reply was made, “He is risen indeed,” a custom that still exists in Russia and some other parts of the world. One of the oldest Easter superstitions was that which had the sun participate in the general glee by dancing in the heavens. It is said that in Devon shire maidens still rise early on Eastej morning to see the dancing sun. In Scotland the sun was ex pected to whirl around like a wheel and give three leaps. One way of witnessing this feat was by watching the reflection of the sun in a pond or a pail of water. The morning vapor, through which the sun would appear to flicker may have encourag ed this belief. The modern folk who put on fine new clothes in honor of the day probably do not realize how ancient this habit is. It has always been considered unlucky to omit wearing something new on Easter. According to weather lore, if the sun shines on Easter morning it will shine a little every day, all the year around; there is a corresponding notion that it it rains then, it will rain a little, if only a few drops, every day during the year. According to an old proverb: A good deal of rain on Easter day Gives a crop of good grass, but little hay. If the wind is in the east on this day, it is regard ed in some places as a wise plan to draw water and bathe in it, as by this mttiris one will avoid ill ness for the whole year. The connection between Easter and the rabbit, or the hare, is extremely old. From early times the hare has been a symbol of the moo’n. Easter is timed according to th<» moon. The hare comes out at night to feed. Furthermore, they young are bom with their eyes open. The moon was the open eyed watcher of the skies, and the hare, born with open eyes, was fabled never to close th^rn. From the remotest times also the egg has been looked upon as the symbol of creation or new birth. The Persians had a story that the earth was hatched from an egg at the vernal equinox, and the Parsees still exchange gifts of colored eggs at their spring festival. The Jews, likewise, made much of the egg in their ceremonies. Christianity invested the egg with new significance, that of the resurrection, and it was colored red in allusion to the bloodshed on the cross. Formerly at the approach of Easter, all the hen roosts of France were ransacked for the largest eggs, which were brought as a tribute to the king. At the conclusion of the Easier high mass, lackeys brought into the royal cabinet pyramids of gilded eggs, which ' were then distributed, among the court. In England children used to go from house to house, begging eggs with the doggerel rhyme: Please Mr. Smith, Please give us an Easter eeg. , If you do not give us one. Your ben shall lay an addled one, Your cock shall lay a stone. In Northumberland, when a man asks a woman for an egg and is refused, he takes off her shoes un til she pays a forfeit. If a man refuses an egg to a woman, she snatche.- away his cap. Another cus tom worth noting is that on Easter Monday wives are supposed to heat their husbands, while on Eas ter Tuesday the husbands beat their wives. T’nc game of hitting one egg against another, the egg that survives uncracked winning for its owner the weaker one, is popular in America, but it is rot new, being hundreds of years old. Another time honored game is trundling eggs down a hill or slope, those which reach the bottom uncracked being the victors over the others. A survival of this is seen in Washington, where it is the custom for children to gather on the White House grounds every Easter Monday for egg rolling.
