All went well until early in the after
noon, when we came to several miles
of bad road, over which we were COM
PEELED to- drive with the utmost care,
despite our impatience. To add to the
discomfort of the situation, it was be-
coming colder, and the wind, into the
teeth of which we were driving, was
blowing at fearful rate. Both of us
began to feel the cold keenly, and the
prospect of darkness coming on soon,
and finding us on strange road, and,
so far as we knew, twenty miles from
anywhere, did not tend to enliven our
spirits.
Mile after mile we urged the tired
horses along, until it seemed as if they
must drop from fatigue; colder and
more fiercely blew the wind down the
narrow, high walled canyon, until
became so chilled that Mr.. Brown had
to take the reins.
Soon dusk began to gather By this
time found lad frosted my face and
hands severely, and was becoming
numb all over. 1t required much urg-
ing from my companion to keep me
from falling into that sleep which in
tense cold superinduces, and which is
nearly always fatal. Finally Mr..
Brown drew rein.
"These horses can't go another mile.
We shall have to do something" he
said. "We cannot keep on going"
He had hardly spoken when he
added: "Oh! thank Godl there's a
light"
l must have been pretty badly
frozen, for, though Mr.. Brown said aft
erwards he talked to me as we passed
on to the house where he saw the
light, l knew no more until several
hours later found myself on bunk
in a rude, one-room cabin, with Mr..
Brown and another man, apparently
the cabins owner, standing over me.
"Good!" said the stranger. II
thought he wasn't too far gone to pull
through all right" For which was
duly thankful, and SO expressed my.
self.
Later in the evening, as Mr.. Brown
and our host sat by the fire. smoking
silently, lay idly watching them. and
was suddenly struck with certain
similarity in their appearance. They
were about the same size and build,
had the same color of hair and eyes,
and, though our host wore thick

Suddenly Mr.. Brown drew out his

THE NEW YEAR.

Could we but glance the now year DER,
Its hidden depths unveil,
Look ou tho blessings safe In store,
Whose mercies never fail;
Could we but see the happiness
The New Year seeks to give.
Our daily lives to cheer and bless,
How gladly would we livel
Could wo behold the grief and care,
Tho weary, painful strife
Allotted as our rightful share
In each new year Of life;
Could we anticipate tho thorns
That in our pathway lie,
Before tho smiling New Year dawns
How gladly would We diel
Yet, ignorans of all, wo grope
With blind persistence, on;
Upheld by patient faith and hope,
Each daily task Is won;
A new years burden unconcealed,
Our inraost hearts benumb,
But sorrows one by ono revealed
Are conquered as they como.

BIGGEST SHOOT ON RECORD.

Fifty-Two Entries ut the Pittsburg Gun
Club Match at Exposition Park Yester-
day-Nambers Turned Away-Only One
of the Scheduled Events Finished.
The shoot OF the Pittsburg Gun Club at
Exposition Park Yesterday was a surprise
as to numbers. 1t was the largest shoot
ever held in Pennsylvania, and one of the
largest ever held in the United States. New
York parties who were present were aston
fshed beyond measure at the interest taken
in shooting in this section. Three matches
were scheduled, but owing to the large num-
Der of entries for the ten live birds event,
the others, 15bird and a 5bird, were post
poned to an indefinite date.
There were 50 entries for the shoot yester-
day and Is applicants were turned away.
The fee was $6. The shooting was brisk and
the 500 spectators who braved the snow
storm cheered literally. The affair was
managed Tor the gun club by Jim Grow and
Elmer Shaner. Two such veterans were q
guarantee of fair play and there was not a
jar the whole day. Visitors from the
Duquesne Kennel Clubs little entertainment
on Penn avenue were numerous, and the
managers are very grateful to Messrs. Crow
and Shaner for holding the shoot at this
time. Among the notables from the dog
show were George Ripper, of England; John
Davldsoii, Major Taylor ana john Naylor OF
Chicago. A feature of the day was the work
of the native setter "Pick," belonging to
Messrs. Crow and Shaner- He retrieved over
500 birds without falLering. "Pick" has but
one eve, but "he gets there Just the same" A
couple of other settlers tried a hand at the
retrieving, but he snatched the birds from
their mouths when they were fortunate
enough to beat him to where the birds fell,
and carried them i'm triumpbantly.

NO CRUELTY CHARGES

Alleged to Be the Cause Of His Interest in

! rsPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TIE DIsPArCH.I
HARRISBURG, March 1.-THE attention
of Governor Pattison has not yet been Off
cially directed to the barbarities alleged to
| be practiced upon inmates of the Hunting
don Reformatory. Senator Osbourn, OF
Philadelphia, has interested himself in be-
half of the boys who had been returned
from the Reformatory to Moyamensing
prison on the ground of incorrigibility, and
has secured their release One of the boys
lives in his district, and he says he proposes
to insist upon an investigation of the crnel
treatment they received.
Governor Pattison said tonight that he
had no official knowledge of any cruelties
being practiced at the reformatory. No
complaints had been made to him, and, SO
far as the State authorities know, the man
agement of the institution is of the very
best. He said he had no doubt that If any
complaints are made they will be inquired
into, and if any abuses exist they will be
corrected.
Friends of the reformatory claim that
Senator Osbourn has grievance against the
| management Of the institution for their re-
fusal some time ago to discharge a boy In
whom he was interested. Previous to the
last session OF the Legislature be made ap-
plication to the officials of the reformatory
for the lads discharge The officials
refused to release him, claiming his
conduct did not merit his. freedom.
Senator Osbourn, at the last
Legislature, then introduced bill changing
the manner of releasing inmates of the in
stitution. 1t passed both Houses, but was
vetoed by the Governor 1t is now said
that this trouble with the management of
the institution, and the subsequent veto of
his bill, has led to his present interest in
.behalf of the Philadelphia lads
Colonel W. w. Jennings, of this CITY, is
member of the Board of Managers of the
reformatory, but declines to discuss the
charges made against it, feeling as he does
that the management Of the institution can
well bear any investigation that may be
made.
