A BITTER WINTER.
All the Poftents Of Nature Indicate Pro-
longed Cold.

All the Portents Of nature Indicate Pro-
longed Cold.
From the news columns of our rural
contemporaries says the New York Mail
and Express, we have gathered certain
signs and portents which presage the
coming of cruel and bitter winter.
The homespun weather prophet, comb
ing the hayseed from his beard and
eyebrows, has examined the prognosti-
cations of Dame Nature, and, studying
the hints of Mother Earth, has arrived
at the conclusion that now is the time
to lay in coal, for already the bushy
whiskers Of winter are heavily frosted
and the breath of the north wind gives
promise of weary months of chill and
snow.
The animal kingdom is already ar
rayed against the coming cold.
Throughout New England the SPUR
rels have an unusually heavy cover Of
fur, and the coats of the cattle and
horses are thic,. and rough. The fox
pelts are unusually fine and the mink
and weasel have donned extra heavy
winter ulsters. In the Adirondacks
the deer have been forewarned and are
unusually well wrapped up in the COW
erings which an all-wise Providence
has provided.
Around the farm also signs are not
wanting. The corn husks are much
thicker than usual. and instead of be-
ing light lemon hue are of deep or
ange tint, well-established sign Of
the approach of cold winter. The
goose bone tells the same story. for the
spots are larger and whittier than usual,
and the hogs melt" runs jagged in
stead of smooth. Nor is this all. The
partridge and woodcock are haunting
the farms and the grain fields, and the
wild ducks are flying in U-shaped in
stead of V-shaped focks toward the
south. The squirrels and chipmunks
are unusually busy laying up extra
supplies of winter fodder, and the
ground hogs have almost disappeared.
Already the green frogs are changing
their skins and seeking the bottom of
wells and springs for their winter
quarters, and the snakes have sought
their rests under the roots of the
trees.
OF course many of these signs may
be unreliable. Chipmunks are apt to
be aggressively busy at this season,
and frogs and snakes are not always
to be depended on. But the goose
drone can generally be accepted as
truthful index to the weather, and the
hogs melt" is looked upon in rural
communities as not to be gainsaid.
Our advice. then, is to get out your
winter clothes and to I'LL the coal bins.
Polish up the runners of the sleigh and
heap up the woodpile. Fix the saw
buck and file the saw. See that tho
stove pipes are clear of SCOT. Then put
your trust in Providence and your
money in the savings bank, and pre-
pare to enjoy the hundred and one de-
lights of sti if. cold winter.

ORIGIN OF PROPER NAMES.

GoLIGHTLY. Lightfoot, barefoot and
Roefoot were nicknames having allu-
sion to speed.
CROOK, Crump, Cramp and Crimp are
but changes rung on an old nickname
for a cripple.
SANDERS, Saunders, Sanderson, are
variations of Alexander, favorite
name in Scotland.
WIsEMAN was once a conjurer, hence
the family names of Wise, Wisely,
Wiseman and Wisman.
STEVEN was the original of Steven.
son, Stephens, Steenson, Stinson,
Stimson and Simpson.
Town formerly meant farm, hence
the Touner, Towners, Townsends,
Tones, Tunes and Tuns.

The Kansas legislature eonvenes
on January 10th. About the first
business transacted will be the or
ganization of the two houses. The
populists will organize the senate.
The republicans will organize tn e
house. The latter proposition has
been disputed and we wish to be un-
derstood as only expressing an
opinion. Our reasons for thinking
as we do are that the republicans
have majority and that maiorities
should govern. We are Of the
opinion also that no rash proceed
ings by way Of unseating members
will be attempted by either house.
That those who now have certif-
Gates will perform the duties of their
Office. We don't believe that the
populists ever seriously contem-
plated changing the complexion of
the legislature when they instituted
their numerous contest proceedings
and the republicans merely followed
as a measure of self defence. The
organization will be perfected with
very little friction and, we trust,
much needed legislation will be en-
acted. Let us all stand up for Kan
sas and defer partisan politics as
much as possible until later in the
season.

PRESS dispatches announce that
Jerry Simpson declares that the pop
ulists will organize the house of
representatives by force if necessary.
Any man who will make such state
ments, whether he be populist, re-
publican or democrat, is a dema-
gogue of the highest order; nay
more, rank anarchist, and should
be promptly suppressed. AS a re-
publican, believing firmly that the
republican party has a majority
and therefore entitled to the organ
ization, we would much rather lose
our rights than be compelled to
maintain them by revolutionary
methods. Such talk and such dem
constructions should be frowned down
by law-abiding citizens irrespective
of party.

By long established custom the
Legislature has convened for organi-
cation at IL o'clock noon on the
day set by law. As a matter of
fact, however, the statute fixes the
day only and nothing is said about
the hour for assembling. The very
latest story about the organization
is to the effect that all the popnlist
members-elect will attend the recep-
zion to be given to the new state
officers in representative hall Mon
day evening, January 8. They will
not leave the hall when the women
and children go home, but will, after
being left to themselves, get the
ball In order and Immediately after
midnight proceed to organize the
house; after the organization is eff
fected they will adjourn and go
home to bed. The republican say
they will be prepared to Illustrate
nny such plans.
