The Last Flop.

The proudest, latest turkey-cock.
OF all the fowls most freely fed
The envied of the barnyard flock
Was first of all to lose his head.
The farmer struck the cruel blow.
And tossed him, bleeding, on the ground.
All careless of the life laid low,
Or how his victim Topped around.
Then came the children. half afraid,
With whispers hushed beneath their
breath.
And EaZed upon the scene dismaycd-
The turkey lay as still as death.
The farmer, who had oft before
Destroyed this sort of barnyard bird,
We'll knew the scare that lay in store,
And smiled, but never said word.
All stood as silent as the grave.
The dairy spring went rOp-drop-drop-
When suddenly the turkey gave
His energetic final flop.

A Contrast In Rural Family Life That Is

1t has been my privilege to visit n
great many rural homes. In some il
seems no wonder that children grow
up tired Of the humdrum; for from

prevailed day after day. They must
do this and do that. and II II little

interest them-no nice books or

some farm product which was TO be

make home attractive. II was work,

AN ATLANTIC STORM.

4 blizzard on the New England Coast
Several Vessels Wrecked The storm Ex-
tends Westward.
BosTuN, Nov. GA fierce northensterly
gale has ragged since Saturday night.
Snow fell yesterday, changing to sleetlast
evening. About six inches Of snow has
fallen IN Eastern Massachusetts, and Is
drifting badly. Shipping in the harbors
has suffered considerably. Wires are
down in all directions. a gale and heavy
snow Is reported nt Brattleboro, VT, and
in New Hampshire. The storm at Salem
is the worst for years, and the wires are
SO much mixed up that the electric light
has been shut Off to prevent danger OF
accidents. The sloop yacht, Narragansett
and an unknown schooner are ashore neal
Forest river.
In Springfield snow fell TO tho depth of
five inches, followed by hail, and is SO
solidly packed as TO impede traffic. Wires
are down aud communication nearly sus-
pended. Passenger trains are from one to
three hours late and freight trains have
been taken of.
At Gloucester the storm was tho heaviest
since the blizzard last March. 1t is re-
ported that two unknown schooners have

only one of the men aboard has thus far
been rescued. The coaster Medford vas
wrecked in the harbor by the brig Alice
being driven into her.
At Rutland, Vt, the fall of snow has
been seven inches.
Much damage has been done on the
north shore. The Boston, Revere Beach
& Lynn railroad was badly washed out
midway between the Narrow Gap Hote
and the Point of Pines, stopping through
traffic. AT Crescent Beach several cot
tages nave been undermined and some OF
the hotels threatened. The Winthrop
shores have felt the force of the storm,
and a number of buildings between Point
Shirley aud winthrop Highlands have
been demolished. A washout on the VIM
throp and Shore roads prevents the run
ming of trains. The storm is he worst
ever known on this part of the north shore
aud danger is feared from the incoming
tide.
At New Haven, Conn.,, the wind
reached ffty-one miles an hour-the
highest over recorded there-and several
inches Of snow fell. Travel on the Shore
line Is stopped by the breaking Of the
drawbridge at Lyme. Many vessels have
put in at that port for shelter.

Yesterday, has been Of blizzard vigor. As
night came on sleet and hail followed the
snow and the Ice particles, like sharpened

and lower bay ships dragged their anchors

ship having nearly collided with the fever

THE UNCERTAIN HOUSE.
Tho Republicans Appear to Have IA Bare
Majority at Present.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-Senators and
members are arriving daily and by the
end Of the week a full attendance is ex-
pected OF members of both branches, some
Of whom have been absent from the city
since August, when the House was finally
reduced to less than a quorum and the
Senate was left in hardly a better condi-
ton. Congressman Benton McMlllin, OF
Tennessee, arrived last night and reoccu-
pied his old quarters at the Riggs. He
vas besieged by a host of newspaper men
but declined to be interviewed at this
juncture.
No change has occurred to determined tho
certainty or uncertainty of the political
preponderancy of the Fifty-irst House,
and both Democrats and Republicans claim
a majority which nothing but the official
cauvasses and certificates OF the Gov
ernors OF the various States can settle.
The opinion seems TO obtain, how ever,
that on the face Of the returns the Repub-
licans have a bare majority, but this may
be changed in favor of the Democrats by
the official count.

COLLISION IN COLORADO.
PRtal railroad Collision ON this Denver q
Rio Grnnde.

Kio Grunde.
DENVER, Col, Nov. 2T.-A fatal acct
dent occurred on tho Denver e. Rio Grande
track at a little station named Hustled, fif-
teen miles north Of Colorado Springs, yes
terday morning, by which two men were
killed and several fatally injured. Tho
Rock Island uses the track of the Rio
Grande from Colorado Springs 10 Denver.
The Salt Lake express on the Rio Grande
pulled out Of Palmer's Lake eight minutes
late, and was laundering down the 'di-
vide" thirty miles an hour. One milo
south Of Hustled the track makes a sharp
curve, on turning which the engineer was
Mortified to see n rapidly approaching
Rock Island express. The engineers and
ilremen of both trains jumped, and q
moment after the engines came to-
gether, telescoping the cars of both
trains, and rendering them a mass OF
broken timbers and iron, upsetting a stove
In the Rio Grande baggage car, which set
fire to the train, and before II could be ex-
tinguished three cars were consumed, but,
fortunately, no one was imprisoned in
them. On investigation, 1t was found that
" train men were killed, w. II. Phillips,
express messenger, and J. II. Flynn, bag
gage master, both Of the Rock Island. Tho
wounded are: Martin Munroe, engineer
Of the Rio Grande, n slight fracture OF tho
skull and badly hurt internally, will
probably die; Joseph Berry. engineer OF
the Rock Island, head cut and badly
bruised; Henry Smith, fireman, badly
scalded and cut. The fireman of the Rio
Grande train received fatal injuries. Sew
eral others were more or less injured, but
not seriously. The responsibility, 1t 10
claimed, rests with the train dispatcher.

of the suit is perfect, the material of the

than the average merchant tailor will get it

slop shop make 1t was years ago; improve
ments are made on it every season, the large
manufacturers North employ the very best
talent to design, and the most shdllful me-
chanics to put the garments together. We
get the bulk of our Clothing of house that
pays their foreman the salary of a U. s.
Senator, but it enables us to guarantee
these goods in every respect, not only as to
the material and trimming, but more par
ticularly the style and finish and the keep
ing of its shape Our Clothing does not rip
nor lose shape after a few weeks wear. We
are beginning to get in some of our Spring
