Pixies Peak is celebrated for its
electrical storms. According to the me-
teorological observations reported from
there. the storms only occur when the
air is moist; the most favorable eondi-
tion Is during tho timo light, soft
snow is falling. When the hands are
held up sparks emanate from tho tips
OF the fingers. At such times with con-
siderable wind, the thermometer cups
look like circle OF fire. Each Hako oil
snow, as 1t alights ON mules or burro's
back, gives a spark like fire-bug. The
station was once struck by lightning

One morning deserted the sacred
precincts Of my library for an inviting
niche at my basement window. Volume
in hand proceeded to read OF the glory
Of this Republic, but ere I had finished
page the following incidents occurred: !:
A butcher called and made q remark
about the weather.
Tho grocer appeared and asked mo II
the lady OF the house" would like to
examine somo nice grapes he had just
received.
A gentleman entered and asked for
Mr.. Brown, although Mr. Brown lives
next door," where he has his name in
big black letters on silver plate.
A ragged individual came and asked
for aims. gave him a penny, for my
heart is full OF melting charity.
l was getting rather foverish from
these frequent interruptions, but !
thought there was some chance for peace.
so remained at my post.
In moment an itinerant merchant
appeared with a tray, and SO persistent
was he In his Establishments that pur-
chased something did not want, just to
get rid OF him.
Then an ''old clothes" man paid me
his respects, declaring in most eloquent
rhetoric that he paid the highest prices
for discarded coats, pantaloons, shoes
and hats.
Thereafter messenger from my tailor
time had grown somewhat desperate,
so left him to his fate, and sped up

MISSION OF THE PRESS.
II Is Playing a.sh.v ~. Part In the Dram


of Progress.
Mr.. John Il. BARRETT OF tho Scranton
(Pa.) Truth, at recent bauqu uet, in re.
spending TO the sentiment, "rhe Press"
said: Is there any thing now that can
be said OF the press? 1t speaks for itself
every morning and every afternoon. 1t
is the tongue OF modern thought With
out the press civilization would be
dumb. 1t is the gift OF speech In the
mouth of progress. and like many an
other great gift IL Is sometimes misused.
But we must not forget its merits in
contemplating its shortcomings. There
are spots on the sun; but who is
willing to live in eternal dark
ness on that account? Tho sword
is often used by the despot, but that Is
no reason why 1t should not be un-
sheathed 70, the sacred cause OF liberty.
Water is terrible in tho torrent but
must we, therefore, reject 1t when 'it
droppeth asa gentle rain from Heaven"
to gladden. the meadow. and give an
added touch OF green to the landscape?
The press is mighty weapon which
can be put to good or evil uses, and.
Notwithstanding its critics, and they
are many, since every man knows how
to run newspaper better than tho cd
itor, ! am here to assert that its wonder
full benefits to mankind us FAR exceed it
shortcomings as tho MONDAY glory OF
the sun outshincs tho spots on the disc
Of that great luminary. Rightly con-
Quoted it is sword and a shield
that strikes at wrong in high places.
and defends the weak against
the encroachments "f the strong.
Its bost work is done when 1t enjoys the
largest freedom. Whenever despot OF
the old world contemplates some dark
deed he muzzles the press. The average
despot would bo happy II there were N!

to print facts, but facts don't always suit
