pronounced equal to imported cloths which

said to be only Sl.50.
Now these two gentlemen delight to preach
the iniquity of protective tariff, and to Al

what makes the poor mans coat so expensive.

Frozen in a Snow Drift.
THE TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE OF PLUCKY
LITTLE WORKING GIRL.

In rickety little bed in cherries room
of lIttle frame house on Walnut street. near
Pond, in Bristol, Ida Cannon, 4 mill girl. lay
Sunday night at the point of death, suffering
from being terribly frozen on Thursday last,
when the thermometer was only two or three
degrees above zero. An anxious old mother
watched at the bedside and pressed her hands
on the girls forehead at times. and then
smoothed the snow white coverlet that was
the brightest thing in the poor little room.
Hope was hidden from the mothers face. and
no sign came from the suffering girl to tell
that the grim visitor would not knock soon at
the door The old father didn't dare to hope
thar his daughter would live, and DR.. L. G
Groom tried to force little sunshine into the
dreary little room bv saving that Ida might
get well. Saturday night the family thought
the girl would die, but she was still alive
Sunday evening.
Ida Cannon worked in Grundy Brothers &
Campion's worsted mill. She is between II
and Is years of age Her two younger sis
tiers also work in the same mill. Ida started
from home alone last Thursday morning to
go to the mill across the fields, half a mile
away. 1t was barely daylight when the girl
started with her little dinner basket. The
wind was blowing in clouds Ida had been
the mill had made pale, wan-faced women
out of a rosy-cheeked girl. She walked
bravely on, with the snow and the intense
cold biting her face and hands. The snow
was deep, and she made headwav slowly.
Suddenly the snow became deeper and deep
er. She had gotten into = DRIFT, and in try
ing to 90 on she spent her strength and could
go no further. The snow reached to her
shoulders, and with just her head above the
drift she tried to look over the white desert,
but the wind blew the snow fiercelv up in her
face and the little white whirlwiDds settled
down around her shoulders. Her limbs be-
came numb and she could not move. She
tried to scream but could not, and the wind
almost took her breath away when she opened
her mouth.
Then the consciousness that she had lost
all feeling followed, and while the little snow
clouds danced about her head she went to
sleep. Few in Bristol know about the girls
terrible experience. great many had heard
that girl had been frozen to death, but they
did not know who she was. She does not
know how she was rescued. or who saved her.
Not half of the hands went to the mill on
account of the snow and the intense cold
Somebody, however, had seen her leave home
and missed her at the MILL and so a searching
party went to look for her. They found her in
the snowdrift, where she had been for several
hours, and carried her to the mill. Then,
after q time. she was carried home and DR..
Groom was sent for. He has done all he can
for the girl, but has small hopes of her re-
covery

Aim high.

Without some definite object before us,
some standard which we are earnestly
striving TO reach, We cannot expect TO at
tain to any great height, either mentally
or morally.
Placing for ourselves high standards,
and wishing to reach them without any
effort on our part, is not enough to ele-
vate us In any great degree.
Some one has said that "Nature holds
for each of MS all that we need to make
us useful and happy; but she requires us
to labor for all that we get"
God gives no value unto men unmatch-
ed by need OF labor; and 1--WE can expect
TO overcome difficulties only by strong
and determined efforts.
We are to do every duty cheerfully, and
here, think, are the rocks upon which
20 many good resolves and noble aspira-
tions have been wrecked.
The everyday duties Of life seem to
many of US very Insignificant.
We long to do something that shall
bring rich blessings to ourselves or
others.
We feel that just before us there is a
great work to do, and we will keep all
our energies and power in reserve for the
accomplishment OF this.
anu VIC NhlNh lpi ITO NOhtihBt Weib
through long months, perhaps years;
wait till our hearts grow weary, and
signing, wonder If We have no mission on
earth to iullll--if God has no work for
us to do
Here Is a great and noble work lying
just before us-just as the bread blue ex-
pause of ocean lies out beyond the rocks
which line the shore.
These rocks are nearer, and unless we
are able to pass these safely, we cannot
reach that which lies beyond.
So we must perform each duty faith
fully, and by so doing we shall be led out
to greater work, to higher positions OF
honor and trust.
But in our strivings for something bet
ter than we have known" we should
work for others good rather than our
own pleasure.
Those whose object of life is their own
happiness find at last that their lives are
sad failures.
We need to do something each day
that shall help us to larger life OF soul;
and every word or deed which brings joy
and glAdness to other hearts, lifts US
nearer perfect life; for "a noble deed is
a step toward God.
