Shat the ranoheF IS luKed into making a
"trip TO the nearest town for supplies or
driving his herds far out on the range
for a days fresh grazing IN sheltered
bottoms, where the bunch grass is still
green and tender. Such treachsry seems
almost fsudish. Sometimes women and
children are tempted by the assuring
skies to leave their homes for trips TO
Eistans neighhoEs or to accompany Mr..
Banoher on his monthly visit to town.
The sun Is shining brightly. the blue
jays are piping shrilly, a soft breeze fans
the cheeks, when Of a sudden there viii
gone a hush as il AL nature stood still
with awe. The air becomes rare6ed to
such an extent that the eye can sweep

But the animals know better. The
winter birds disappear. The jack rab-
bits that have been bounding gleefully

howl and crouch under the wagon.

look that way again it has spread so

sc grows bigger and bigger until its edge
extends way round to the west, chang

cold, gray light. For a few moments this
process continues amid a breathless ST.
lenCe. In that brief period you are given
slime to seek such shelter as may be at
hand. IF you are out on the open prairie,
with nothing but clumps Of sagebrush
in sight and the nearest house or shanty
miles behind you. then you are looking
into the face Of death as squarely as

ward you with railroad speed an m
earthly, moaning sound, and your ears
become aware of deep monotone that
il best compared to the sound of a dis
tant cataract. You feel a chilling breath
on your cheek, and you know that the
mercury IS tumbling down at the rate
Of a degree a second.
Now the sunlight has vanished COM
pletely and is succeeded by a grayish
twilight Another breath colder than
the first, reaches you. "A little spiral Of
eddying dust dances impishly across
your path. Another follows and an
other Then comes a puff which makes
you start as if a whiplash had been
slapped across your face. 1t was the
first icy breath of the subarotic monster
behind it.
Here comes the blizzard
For the first moment or two it is like
8 cloud. and you can see a rod or two
through it, but it gradually thickens.
The horses ears are no longer visible.
and by and by you can scarcely see she
backs of the poor beasts. Then it be-
comes almost impossible to see at all
Tn the meantime it has become intensely
cold. lit is not the snow which we are
familiar with which is falling now. In
deed it does not fall at all. There are
no fakes, but little particles of pointed
ice, sharp as needles and driven with
tremendous force, a million to an inch.
The skin smarts wherever they strike
and they strike wherever the skin is ex-
posed. When they hit the eyelids, you
are conscious of binding flashes of
light When you breathe, you draw
them in, and you can feel them way
down IN your bronchial tubes.
Think of facing such a stormi Why,
a man could not breathe such air as that
for ten minutes and live. He would be
sufocated. And this il precisely what
does happen to many blizzard victims.
1t is not always the cold, though it is
cold enough to do almost anything, but
it is breathing powdered ice instead Of
air that does the fatal work. Old plains
men realize this and save themselves by
digging a hole in the snow and crawl
ing into it. Even the Indians have come
to understand the scientific make up Of
a blizzard, and they make their way
back to their reservation shanties, with
a government blanket wound tightly
around their heads trusting only to the
sense Of direction which the touch Of
the wind gives them and not attempting
to use their eyes.

Winter In Prospsct.
The blizzard crop is going to be. an
unusually big one this winter. At any
rate, that is what the weather wise

thicker than usual, the wishbone Of the
goose is heavy, the trees have grown an
extra thickness of bark on their north
erly sides, and the wild ducks made a
noisy olamor as they few south few
weeks ago. These old time auguries
have already been verified to some ex-
tent, for even in November a good sized
blizzard swooped down on the DakOtas,
and there has been severe weather all
over the country. We can readily be-
Eeve, too, that there is more coming.
People who live east of the AIississip-

heavy fall Of snow accompanied by a
high wind and zero weather by the
name Of blizzard, while in New York
state and in New England even a smaller
furry is often referred to by the same
term that Is applied to the terror of the
prairies. To any one who has passed the
time Of day with "a real blizzard this
misapplieation Of the word is ridicu-
lousy absurd. Those who have never
had a blizzard experience, however,
