The glory Of the days of ice
palaces and winter carnivals has
departed from out the land, and
St. Paul mourns and refuses to be
comforted. The St. Paul Dis
patch, of Saturday, has an inter-
esting review Of those sweet days,
but through it all, is woven a
thread of regret. The crowding
northward of the banana zone has
dispelled the last hope for tower
ing ice palace. Winter carnivals
will be known no more, their pris-
tine magnifcence has vanished,
and the forces that made them
possible have sought more con-
genial fields in the realms of the
Goth parallel.

DROPPED FROM THE CLOUDS.
Row the Race Horse Peytonia Won $500
For Little Miss Lowrey.

HOW the Race Horse Peytonia Won $500
For Little Miss Lowrey.
The caprices of fortune ever consti-
tute a subject for special wonder, but
the glorious uncertainties of the turf
afford perhaps wider scope for refec-
tions on the ups and downs Of life than
almost any other sphere Of action. Earl
Lowrey, formerly Of Pittsburg, but now
Of Chicago, tells story that illustrates
this conclusion very we'll.
On the morning Of the day that Rey
Ell Santa Anita won the American
Derby at Washington park Lowrey's
little girl, while looking over pro
gramme Of the events which he had
oarelessly left about the house, was
struck with the name s'Peytonia, the
name Of an entry in the first race of the
day. So deeply was she impressed with
it that she asked her father to place her
savings of small change on Peytonia,
the total amount being So, which he
agreed to do. On arrival at the park he
at once discovered that Peytonia' S
chances for victory appeared to be very
slim, one bookmaker offering 400 to
against her. Lowrey, nothing daunted,
placed the So per order, and in doing
SO provoked smile from the man on
the block, which so nettled him that ne
promptly placed SIS more at 40 to 1 for
the place. AS has SO often happened be-
fore, Peytonia fairly dropped from the
Clouds when the horses were fairly
Strengthened out in the stretch, and to
the amazement of every one won the
race with comparative ease. Miss Low
rey's fondness for the name Peytonia
therefore Melted her $500 in cash, while
the head Of the family was 5000 better
off for acting as her commissioner

LOVE in MAsQUE GRADE.

dreamed that Love came knocking
At your door one winter night
While the specter trees were rocking
In blast Of savage blight.
"Oh, I perish" poor Love pleaded.
tsOpe the door, for Loves dear sake.
But although you heard and needed
Still no answer would you make;
Not one word Of sweet replying
Would your naughty lips have said
Even if Love had lain there dying,
Even If Love had lain there deadl
4 Then dreamed that Love o'erruled you,
For in tenderest voice he cried,
ssNay, dear lady, sadly fooled you,
Since am not Love, but Pride"
And you straigh tway oped your portals,
With merry and welcome nod,
To that widest of immortals,
To that masquerading god.
All, you oped your portals lightly,
Not for Loves but Pride's dear sake,
Yet, o lady, if I dreamed rightly,
Love soon taught you your n1istakel
