comes in intermittent puffs, and here
and there fine particles Of snow are
tossed and Whirled in the air, just as
little clouds of dust rise and curl when
glancing bullet strikes the dry ground.

by a cold blast of wind more general

Presently there comes q low moan
ing sound from the north; it grows
shriller until it resembles a wall; it
rises and sWells into a howl and then
a shrek, as the great currents of air
from natures cold storage sweep with
cyclonic fury over the treeless plain.
The air is thick with fine, cold snow;
the cowboy and his pony are obliter-
ated from the vision and the herd is but
mass of incomplete and shadoWy
forms. The blizzard has begun. The
buffalo coat of the cowboy does not
seem to afford him any better protec-
ton than if it were of linen; the icy
wind finds it's way into every opening
and penetrates the thick aterial as
though it were q sieve. His eyes arc
momentarily blinded by the fine cold

The desperation of the CubanS who
are fighting Spain for the liberty Of
their island ,eXcites wonder at times
in the American mind, and some are
inclined to thing them too bloodthirsty
in their system of warfare. 1t is true,
very little quarter is given the Span
ish soldiery in any of the conflicts
where the insurgents have the upper
hand, but there is a good, substantial
reason for this seeming heartlessness.
The soldiers Of the insurgent army
know that fate blacker than death
will be their allotment if they fail. The
kingdom of Spain has never displayed

The heavy thaw that so often follows
fast upon the Blizzard frequently
causes as heavy losses in cattle as the
blizzard itself. The cattle seek the low
lands for water. There they find that
the terrific wind has swept away the
snow. The grass there is more luxu-
RANT than on the range, but with each
hour of sunshine their footing becomes
more and more insecure and they sink
deeper and deeper into the soft mire
OF the marshy ground. Those that
have been weakened either through
fasting or the rigors of the storm are
held fast. In the spring every marshy
waterhole is closely watched by the cat

Among the replies recel> ed was one from
Mayor Hanson of Belfast, who said:

fact that the people will not endorse the acts
