ing snow, and Thought how the NEXT day
no would hitch up to his fathers big box
sleigh, and ON pretext of gathering the
children uplto take them to school would
rave the little schoolma'am who had
been kissed by the fake from the strug-
giles with the snow she dreaded 50 much.
When the spring came, and the little
schoolma'am realized because OF that
first storm she need no longer be d
teacher, she was not sorry the snow
came 90 early.
None OF her pupils worried when the
snow came, for it brought TO them vi
sionso Of oasting-"riding down hill" they
called it--and snowballing and snow fort
building and other sports of the season,
and the girls wonderedif the boys would
wash their faces and began to dare
them TO.
Still others of the fakes that fell that
day whitened the buffalo robe that was
wrapped about the legs of Andrew
Stevens, the stage driver. And he knew
that it meant that the period of his year
ly fighting through the drifts was about
to begin, and he drew his breath in
through his tight shut teeth as he thought
of the number Of times his stage would
probably be overturned, and the fact that
not until the spring sunshine had melted
the drifts could he again venture ont
without a shovel. He also remembered,
as he watched the white shower, that
frozen fingers, frozen faces, frozen ears
and a frozen nose fell to his portion the
previous winter.
When the road overseers of the valley
township saw the flakes, they thought, as
did the city street superintendent, of the
thoroughfares that must be kept open,
and If their task, being confined to q few
rods shoveling here and there, was the
shorter and less laborious, the correlative
fact that their were also less
more than offset their advantage. But
as they broke out the rural roads after
the storm was ove these men, being
good farmers, reflected that their winter
wheat was now warmly blanketed by
the snow and would not be likely to
winter kill. And all our young folks
whereon the snow fell rejoiced as they
saw it and began to think of the sleigh
bells jingle and the delights of moon
light gliding owe smooth crusted snow.
Others there were watching the eddy
ing snowfiakes ON their earthward de-
scent from speeding railroad trains. One
Of these persons, . philosophical journey
taker, whom you would set down at once
al a commercial man, turned in his seat
in the smoking a to borrow a match
from his neighbor and ask him il his trip
was q long one. When the reply came,

chuckled:
"And we're not half way there yet,
for / 4 am going to Omaha also. The way
the snow starts in today reminds me of
the way the eastern blizzard of 1883

after the other till the earth was covered
as with a blanket, while yet uncounted
myriads were following in their wake,
the loggers cheered and rocked not that
az 1T showed the wind rose, for the snow
was heavy, and its coming meant the be-
ginning of their season OF industry. And
the next morning when the sun shone
again out of the frosty blue winter sky,
tipping hill tops and bare, gaunt tree
branches with gold, the loggers began
their three months toll with cleaning
axes and ringing saws and iron pointed
handspikes.
Day after day they chopped and
trimmed and hauled the monster logs
into which they transformed the mann
moth forest trees, and night after night
they sang songs and told stories i'm their
rude woodland huts after their work was
done and their supper of pork and beans
was eaten. In the spring, when the
breakup came and they fioated the logs
they had got out during the winter ana
counted the products of their toll, they
smiled and said the season had been good.
But if the north wind had not breathed
ON the cloud that day early in the win
ter and it had rained instead Of showed,
their labors would have been much short
er and their season only ordinary.
Some OF the flakes from that same
cloud were whirled by the north wind,
after it had c~rystalliZed them, over the
streets of a city, and when they fell
there JOY and dismay were mingled. The
children danced with glee-that is, those
who lived hear the parks and were pos
SCISSORS of sleds and skates and comforta-
BILE clothing aud warm mittens. To them
the snow meant frolics and fun unlim-
tied, but to some others, who had poor
shoes and thin, battered clothing, it
meant chattering teeth and stiffened
fingers and blue noses and watery eyes.
But the north wind cared not.
Tt was dull that winter among those
who labor for wages, and to men who
were out OF work the whirling, falling
fakes gave grateful promise of employ
ment upon the streets, of shoveling tons
and tons Of snow, and wages from the
city's till. But in his Office in the city
nail the Omclal VINO was responsible TOT

: British India.

Great Britain has been stretching her
wings over India. In 1912 she laid claim
TO 626,000 squares miles of that coun-
try. She made additions to this every
year except 1843, 1645 and 1852, down to
1856, when her POSSESSIONS aggregated
$50, 900 square miles. Advances were
made in 1865, 1881 and 1856, and now
the area OF India under British rule is
927, S87 square miles. British India is
larger than all that part Of the United
States lying east of the Mississippi river
and its population five times as great as
the present population OF this whole
country. Great Britain may not be able
to acquire much more Of India. Indeed
there is likely to be difficulty in retain

ton and the s.satchfnlness Of her aggra-
waiting enemy ON the north. who in the
