THE FROST KING.


On fierce and wild foray,
And treasures bright in his frosty flight,
From the hillsic5s core away.
Earth mourFf to day in gloom
For crushing hand was laid
On leaf and bloom, and rare perfume,
In woodland. glen and glade.
He tore the garlands down
That the glowing autumn twined,
And his faded crown Of russell brown
In her golden temple shrined.
Frost King. our hearts still yearn
For the vanished summer hours,
And sadly turn from thy blackened urn
Of blighted buds and MOWERS.

AS Philadelphians we may be excused
for correcting some misapprehensiOns
as to Mr.. Taylor's memorable first Jour
ney through Europe. Doubtless he re-
ceived aid and encouragement in many
ways after he had proved what manner
of man he was. But he gives himself
what ought to be accepted as the true
version. He started on that journey
with $40 in money, and of this he got
$50 from Joseph r. Chandler, then pro
prietor and editor of the United States
Gazette, and $50 more from Samuel D.
Patterson, editor of the Saturday
EUeni11g Post, both of Philadelphia
These two sent him further remittances
while on his journey. The most of the
remaining $40 came from the profits of
a little volume of his poems, repubEshed
from the pages of GTGhGnt'S PhiIadeL-
phid Magazine, which volume, he says,
was "charitablynoticed by the Phila-
delphia press" If the circumstance is
worthy of mention now, it is right that
it should be put as Mr.. Taylor CRATE

Phrenology, Murder and Suicide.

Boston's latest tragedy, the killing by
Wilson of himself and wife, appears to
have been caused by his conviction that
she was his superior Intellectually. Not
long previously they went to a phrenol-
ogist to have their heads examined, with
a view of settling the troublesome ques-
ton. The phrenologist told them that
the wife had the best brain, and was
fairly entitled to leadership in the fam
lily. Wilson was greatly agitated by
this information, and weepingly declared
that he had made the most serious
blunder of his life IN marrying a
woman who knew more than he did.
WEBB HAYES likes a joke, and it is
said of him that, at a reception not
long since, he pulled his hat down over
his eyes, buttOned his coat about him to
disguise himself, and, falling into the
line that was moving on to grasp the
Hayes hands, took his mother by the
hand, and said, in loud voice, God
bless you, madam, for your adherence
to the Temperance cause" Mrs. Hayes
showed no sign Of recognition, and
Webb is yet unable to tell whether his
mother knew him or not.

Scene in Church.

The day was intensely cold. The con-
gregation had assembled and the serv-
ices were begun. A man mufied in
heavy coat and scarf entered, and, walk
ing hurriedly down the aisle, seated
himself in conspicuous place. Directly
before him sat aman with fery-red hair.
The newcomer deliberately took off his
gloves, and, with an air of perfect salts
faction and comfort, alternately held his
hands near the red head before him, and
rubbed them in the manner which Hood
has described as washing his hands
with invisible soap in imperceptble
water"
The preacher witnessed the whole
performance, and, having keen sense
of the 'udicrOus, he lost control of his
visibility, and, to the CONSERVATION OF
his congregation, roared with laughter.
Effects Of the Frost.
As an evidence of the terrible severi.
ty of the cold in Central Illinois, the
gsme-dealers of Bloomington relate that
farmers are offering quail at % cents
per dozen, picked up by the hundred
along the fences and hedges frozen to
death. They are found in punches of
ten to twenty, frozen solid. Nearly all
the rabbits brought to town this week
are minus part or all of their ears,
which have been destroyed by the frost
of the past two weeks. In all parts OF
Mclean and adjoining counties farmers
report heavy losses of hogs by " over
lying" and smothering. resulting from
the hogs gathering together to keep
warm Bloomington (fIl) paper.

According to the elaborate statement OF
the Chicago Tribune, the pork packers Of
that city cut up during the year Just ended
1909. 971 hogs of the 7,364,0OO hogs produced
by the entire West. The Tribune. In the
course Of its review of the pork trade, says:
The Southern demand was only moderate,
and, as packers In some of the adjacent cities
anticipated a large Increase In the packing OF
the West and slight chances of values i'm

more Northern cities, especially at Chicago,
where the inquiry from other sources was
sufficient to attract the attention of manu-
facturers and maintain the usual activity III
the trade. Orders from the interior wins OF
the South, excepting for green hams, have
generally been for small quantities Of such
articles as were needed to supply immediate
w~ants-mainly smoked meats and dry sailed
short rib sides. The inquiry from
the extreme South-New Orleans and
Mubile-has been quite liberal and the ship
ments to tina section Of country were larger
than usual during. the winter, season. includ-
ing considerable old pork. The demand from
the New England and Middle States has been
fair, though the depression among the labor
ing classes In those sections during the
past two years has made the merchants eau
tious In their movements, and the majority
of their purchases Indicate that they are pur-
suing q very conservative course-taking only
quantities as needed TO supply the
wants of their retail trade. The demand from
Canada and the lumber districts was about
equal that of past seasons-orders chiefly for
the heavier qualities of mess pork.

The last annual report Of tho Chicago
Board OF Trade says: Chicago now packs
more hogs annually than was packed In the
whole country west Of the Allegheny
mountains eight years since, the aggregate
for 1878 being over 100000 head. This i'm
mense business Is almost wholly conducted
within a smallrarea Of territory near the
southern city limits, and is but little seen or
its extent appreciated by most Of the people
of the city, save by the occasional aroma
which floats on the southern breeze. The
business, which in former years was confined
almost exclusively to the winter months,
now extends over the whole year, SO that the
so-calledi packing season has come to have
neither beginning nor ending.
