when walking in MS own grounds. he
was Informed that some enterprising
tourist was looking down on him from
Il tree almost over his head. The eu-
tllusiast was soon brought down from
his coign Of vantage. The laureate,
however, secured a page-boy TO keep
of ali intrudcrs in futArc, he being too
short-sighted to notice them. Soon
after this youth had begun his duties
it happened that the Prince OF Wales
walked over from Osborne to see Mir.
Tennyson. Arriving at the poets
house at Freshwater, he asked the boy
whether Mr.. Tennyson was it. The
boy, thinking he smelled q rat, he said:
"And what's that to you if he is?'
"Tell him." said H. r. H., '.that the
Prince of Wales wishes to see him"
The knowing youth thereupon, not to
be caught. said: ''You don't take NE
to be so green as thatpn and to en-
phasize his remark he "placcd his
thumb to his nose and spread his fin
gers out" The prince, however, had
parleyed sufficiently, so taking the
young hopeful by the collar he placed
him aside and walked into the house.

began showing ut about nine "a. m. Sat

large soft flakes. like an eastern sugar

rose and the air berame colder, the night
finally settling with an old Fashioned

their homes, Only about ten inches OF
snow fell, but it lays in. drifts six aud
eight feet deep.
We tlaar OF some few cases OF loss OF
stock, but as YET the reports from the
country are but nlcager. Reports Of
loss OF life have been numerous and
thrilling. 1t was eaite commonly be
liered, fersomc days, that q Mr.. Bay

Saturday afternoon, had both been
frozen to death. The report could not
at the time be verified and has since

safety OF DIR. Jones and wife, OF Hill City,
who had also departed ia the storm, but
they also h.tve reported in person. But
death appeared bound to secure a VIC

OF lumber on Saturday. Their people
live out some twenty-five miles ON the

death and a short distance from him
was the frozen mule. There was !;
wound on his head which makes 1t pos,
