My thoughts revert to that terrible Dakota

Glad was not out there and caught out eight

Would it not be we'll to ask Congress to ap-
propriate a sufficient amout to build wire

town and let the State Legislature enact a
law that every school hot1se should be built
within three feet of the fence. Further. that
there should be at least weeks supply of
provisions and fuel at each school house.
Then have the teacher fined for turning her
scholars out in blizzard. It might be we'll to
have further provisions incorporated in the
enactments. but such amendment might be
made as circumstances require. ~

THE PlTILESS SNOW.

Oh, the snow, the pitiless snow!
Bringing to mortals such terrible woe;
Drifting in fury across the wide plain,
As trackless and lone as the billowy main.
Holding the dead in its bosom 80 white,
And cruelty hiding their faces from sight;
Husband and father, as homeward they go,
Lost In the depths of the pitiless snow.
Little ones, far from the sheltering fold,
Perish alone in the terrible cold;
Wrapped by the wind in garment of white,
And left in the storm and darkness Of night,
While others. grown weary in seeking the lost
Sink down in despair mid the snow and frost
Oh, the wild anguish of hearts in their woe,
Bereft of their loved by the pitiless snow.
Fair was the morning that ended in gloom.
And changed was the song to the dirge of tn,
tomb, Re-.
For wilder and hercer the storm in its wrath,
Was leaving the dead in its dcsolate path;
Many a home that was happy and bright,
Is shrouded to-day in the darkness of night,
And over the ruins Of hope laying low
Is trailed the white robe of the pitiless snow.
