It SHOWS and blows and it stings your
noso-makes all creation SILVER; it bites
your toes increases your woes and freezes
up the river. The frost nips all, both
great and small, the dismal, ,dreary
winter; it freezes type, it bursts the
pipes, and vexes so the printer. So let
her roll-we mean the coal-it takes the
cash in winter; so please be kind and
make up your mind to settle with the
printer.-Exc1ange.

dent he lost one eye, and the sight Of the
other was seriously impaired. He was
unable TO resume his trade, SO concluded
to see the world by walking around it in
a zigzag course He left Montreal MAY
18th last. and when he reached here he
had covered 2,268 miles through On
tario, Southern Michigan, Illinois, Wis
consin and Minnesota. Hestops at the
best hotels. although he has no money,
and every where finds people anxious to
help him. He has met with many ad-
ventures. At Hancock. Mlch., he was
arrested on suspicion of being murderer
:wan,ted there. The chief of police and an
assistant seized him and presented re-
volver. Not understanding their reason,
he drew billy he carries, and knocked
the revolver out of the officers hand and
escaped. He was la er taken and held
three weeks in jail. At every place he
has his visit registered in book he car
ries. On his breast he wearsa large sill
yer shield on which is engraved his name
and brief account of his trip.
From here he went to Tower. where a
large number of his countrymen reside.
He expected to reach there IN three days.
From there he will return to Duluth, 20
west to ST. Cloud, then to the twin Cities
He expects to tramp over 10000 miles
and will go by conveyance only over
the oceans. On land, he will accept a
lift from no one, and laughs at railroads
with the independence of man who
has lots of time on his hands.-Two Har.
