ing in the sortie, either as friends or foes of
the Ice King. The sight was enjoyed by
many thousands within the carnival grounds
and by many more outside that enclosure.
At last the c~ontending kings hold a confer
ence, during a lull IN the battle, and as a re-
suit thereof a armistice was declared, and
the forces, following their respective kings,
formed into line and marched through the

FORMING OF THE ICE PALACE
Fire and ice, the emblems Of heat and cold,
are utterly dissimilar and a~ntagonistic.
Neither can exist in the presence of the
other, and, when they come together, there
is a contest for the mastery which can only
end in the humiliation of one or the other,
and the struggle between these two great
natural elements is attended with phenom-
ena which shakes worlds and seams and
ridges the face of continents Such a strug-
gle was symbolized last night in the storm
ing of the ice palace by the fire king,
and the effect was one the lurid splendor of
which no vocabulary is comprehensive
enough to describe, and no pigments that ever
smeared a palette fiery enough to portray
on canvas His majesty, King Borealis, had

The storming of the ice castle was the re-

70 wrest the huge cdifice from The possession
of the ice King. In carrying out this desire
the Fire King and his followers storrned the
local habitation of the Ice King, and the
latter and his loyal subjects repulsed the at
tack with vigor and effect. The uniformed
members Of the many toboggan, snowshoe
and skating clubs acted as the soldiers of the

The blizzard which came upon US or
the 9th of last month, and covered an
extraordinary space on this continent,
curiously enough visited Europe at the
same time. There was a heavy fall of
snow in London on the 9th, and news
from Paris say that so binding was the
snow storm in that city all travel was
completely stopped for a short time.
At Vienna, there was not such snow

Distrustful still of his own subjects he chose

Fifteen years ago a little company
of fifty Swedish colonists came to

schools, and many well-tilled farms.
