therefore tho winter speak OF is familiar
to oil OF you--thaJ OF 1873. Five of us,
with our wives, had gone to Dakota in or
der To obtain homesteads, and settled 20
miles from the then small village OF Fargo,
near whore the city Of Castleton Is now
situated, but then wild, desolate prairie,
with no neighbors nearer than Fargo ana
bands of Indians or droyes of wolves plac-
Ing us In constant peril.
1.-THE five families, although having sod
houses of their own. all lived in one house
for companionship and protection. Well,
at 1880 O'Clock Wednesday night Oct. 2,
it turned so cold that we could soc the
walls moving in and tho house grow
smaller from the natural contraction
caused ny the atmosphere. 1t grew colder
constantly until morning, and then re-
manned as it was"
"What WIS the degree2' some one asked
"To tell the truth, gentlemen l do not
know" was the response. I'VE had half
dozen thermometers, but they were the
mercury kind, and mercury froze so solid
within an hour that the children used the
bulbs TO play marbles with all that winter
and until they thawed out the following
Fourth of July. We had plenty Of fuel
and wore heavy winter wraps In the house,
In this way keeping from freezing After
few weeks we became used TO 1t. One
of tho ladies discovered how beautiful the
icicles were that grew upon tho windows.
They then wore them as jewels, and dia-
monds never looked prettier There was
no danger of their melting, even in the
house, and 1t was actually source OF sor-
row 20 the ladies when the weather grew
warm enough for us to 90 out doors and
to melt the diamonds with which they
had decorated themselves. That was the
coolest winter l ever experienced, but /
cannot tell just how cold 1t was, owing
TO having no spirit thermometer. Wash

BROKEN BY THE BANK.
The Usual Fate of Gamblers at the Monte
Carlo Tables.

Carlo Tables.
An exact record is kept OF the profits Of
each table at Monte Carlo every day, but
IL Is sufficient for our purpose TO strike an
average. The earnings of n roulette table
during the winter average 3400 n day, and
during the summer 1850. For the trente
ct quarante tables the averages are a300
and 1880 day respectively. or course
the takings of these tables vary very CON
siderably. A plunRor may walk into the
rooms Mt any moment and have run OF
luck which will not only prevent any par
ticular table from making profit, but
force the cashier to advance more money
to keep it going. This feat is enormously
called breaking the bank but, depend
upon it, all such winnings find their way
back again To- the tables.
As Pere Blanc remarked, "He who
breaks the bank today will be broken by
the bank tomorrow" II was so with
Lucky Chance Wells, whose play watch
ed closely from day to day, and who un-
doubtedly won nearly $50, 900 during two
visits of ten days duration. He lost not
only the whole of IL at two subsequent
visits, but also e10, 600 Of the money of
people whom he duped with his bogus
patents. So with u we'll known London
money lender, one OF the best customers
Of the tables, who visits Monte Carlo every
season. He generally plays the maximum
of IL, 600 francs (eiSo) coup at trente ct
quarante and has won large sums from
time to time. He informed me, however,
last winter that he was almost always
loser at the end OF his stay; that he made
SIC, 200 his limit Of loss. and that during
the last 10 or ~ years he had left at least
Gl00, 900 upon the tables. These are only
typical cases. The winner at Monte Carlo
returns TO make q little more The loser
returns to try 20 get his money back, and,

ANNIE LAURIE.
TIA Authorship OF the scng Fixed Upon
Douglas OF Fingland.

Frank Pope Humphrey says In Nc
Clure's Magazino
IL was at Maxwelton House, Annie's
birthplace, that came across the missing
link In the chain of evidences that fixes the
authorship of the song upon Douglas OF
England Fingland Is in the parish OF
Dairy, in the adjacent shire of Kirkcud-
bright, and Douglas was somewhat near
neighbor of Annie.
The present proprietor OF Maxwolton
House, Sir Emilius laurie, placed In my
hands a letter of which he said l might
make what use liked, and this letter
contained the missing link.
1t was written In 1850 by a friend TO Sir
Emillus and relates N incident which
took place in 1854. At that time the
writer, whom we will call Mr.. B., was on
visit with his wife to some friends in
Yorkshire. Mrs. B. was somewhat ia
nous singer of ballads. A few friends
were invited TO meet them one evening,
and after the ladies had retired TO tho
drawing room their hostess asked Mrs. B.
TO sing, and she sang Annie Laurie" In
the modern revision, just as we all sing 10.
Among the guests was lady In her
ninety seventh year. She gave close at
tention to the singing OF tho ballad, and
when Mrs. B. had finished she spoke up:
"ThGnk you, thank you, very much But
they're ma the words my grandfather
wrote" Then she repeated the first stanza
as she knew it,
The next day Mr.. and Mrs b. called
upon her, and in the meantime she had
had the original first stanza written out,
debating It to grandniece. She had
signed it with her own shaky hand. Not
being satisfied with the signature, she had
signed it a second time
She explained that her grandfather,
Douglas OF Fingland, was desperately in
love with Annie Laurie when he wrote the
song. But" she added, she did ma get
her after a"
She was not quite sure as to Annie's
fate, she said. Some folks had said she
died unmarried. while some had said she
married Ferguson Of Craigdarroch, and
she rather thought that was the truth.
Questioned rs TO the authenticity of the
lines she had given, she said:
"Oh, / mind them finei i have remem-
bered them a my life. My father often
repeated them TO mo-" And here Is the
stanza, signed with her name:
Marvellous banks are bonnie.
They re a clad owre wi dew
Whore an Annie Laurie
Made up the bargain true,
Made up the bargain true,
Which neer forgot sail be.
An for bonnie Annie Laurie
I'd lay me down dee.
mind ma mair. CLARK DOUGLAS.
Aug 80, 1864.
In the common version this stanza reads:
Marvellous braes are bonnie
Where early fa's the dew,
An it's there that Annie Laurie
Gie'd me her promise true,
Gie'd me her promise true,
Which ne'er forgot will be,
An for bonnie Annie Laurie
--I I'd lay me- down an dee.
The music Of tho song is modern and
was composed by Lady John Scott, aunt
by marriage of the present Duke of Buc-
clouch. The composer was only guessed
at for many years, but somewhat recently
she has acknowledged the authorship.

SIR:-The Ad0erHSer of this date
under head of "a Memorable Day"
says, "If there is one paper in the
United States that is true expo.
nent Of American sentiment, that
paper is the New York SnR.
In its expression OF national senti-
ment it is never found wanting"
Are the words quoted mere par
ot-prate, if not, what do they
mean? Touching their reliability
let me sir, also, cite words from the
literary luminary named, asking at
the same time the value Of its poll
teal views, or the worth of its code
OF ethics.
In a resume of a years events,
the following idioyncratic PROPOSE
ton appeared in the columns of
Mr.. Dana's journal; it said: 1.-The
suspicious and ideal CO alition from
the viewpoint of the American Re
public, would be one between Rus
STA, Germany and France for the
partition of the British Empire.
Nothing could withstand such a CO.
alition, and there would be spoils
enough for all; nor is there any
doubt that Canada and probably
the British West Indies, would fall
to us in recognition of the undis-
guised delight with which we
should survey the ruin of Our her
editary foe"
Let me, sir, ask, how many sane
men in our community, containing,
| believe, three quarters as many
British as there are American resi-
dents, l say, let one ask how many
in our midst, believe the statement
of Honolulu's leading journal"
that, the New York SIN sis a true
exponent of American sentiment,
and as such, lis never found want

Is the Adaerhser's statement true?

HOW DEATH COME TO THE BROTHER

Touched Naked Wire-On Night Duty
at Power House-The
burns,

Theo. Hoffman, manager of the
Hawaiian Electric Company has
gone to the Coast on account of the
death OF his brother, whose loss is
thus described in a San Jose paper:
George Werner Hoffman, the
electrician at the Electric Improve
ment Company's power-house, was
almost instantly killed this evening,
at 7 o'clock, while attending to the
electric-light switches at the power
house. Hoffman was seen to
go into the switchroom, and
few seconds later George John
son, the oiler, heard a moan.
He rushed into the room and found
Hoffman lying on the floor. Be-
fore he had timeto make an inquiry
or assist the electrician from the
floor, Hoffman said, George, 1 am
done for" He then fell into a
stupor and remained unconscious
until death came several minutes
later.
An investigation was made and
it was found that in some manner
Hoffman had touched either the
switch plug above the insulation or
had slipped, and in falling his hand
came in contact with a coil of cleo
trio light wires which was not insu-
lated. The current passed through
the thnmb and first and second
fingers Of the right hand, and
on through his body, COM
ing out at the heel of his left foot.
Where his fingers came in contact
with the electricity there were three
burns and his heel was charred.
Two thousand five hundred volts
passed through his body.
Hoffman was skilled electrician.
He was 26 years Of age and a ma
tive of San Jose.
