Elsewhere in this issue vii be found all g1eement among loca fire underwriters, effective after May 1, 10 the effect that all insurance policies must be paid for in cash within ten days after the date oi issue. The insurance men are com pelled to remit to their companies when the policies are issued, and 1t IS nothing but right that the policy holders should pay promptly there for when their policies are delivered This action of the underwriters is in pnrsuance of correct busi 'ess methods. and we opine that there will be none who pay their bills pl omptly that will object to the cash basis adopted by the insurance men. For our part we would like to see the cash basis adopted in all the avenues of trade. This, in he end. would result in grenter economy, and hence prosperity.

other one is here at the hospital in Mont
pelier. Her real name is Lena Merrill,
though she calls herself Mildred. She
will be 20 years old next Saturday.
D"My daughter was always of a bright,
lively, cheerful temperament when she
was at home, but since her mothers death
she has said she has no home. l made
things as pleasant as could for her, but
she did not get along very well with her
sisters-in-law. She was in the Burlington
high school for two years, and want to
say that | paid for every day OF her school
ing there, and what the Burlington paper
said about some persons there taking an
interest in her and sending her to school is
not true.
"She said she did not want to be a
teacher and would not graduate, but she
did teach 10 weeks in Huntington, think
it was year ago last fall Lena then
came to Montpelier, and | think she
worked in the family of S. G. Shurtleff all
that winter. She went from Montpelier to
Mortified, and worked in the hotel there
for short time. From there she wrote
me about young man from Montpelier
who visited her, and this young man l am
pretty sure, is John Wheeler
''Since that time she has worked in DIFF
ferent places in Montpelier. | have not
seen Lena since last Christmas. She was
at home then for few days, and we all
noticed something was wrong. She was
very gloomy and respondent. Her eyes
looked wild and she was not herself at ALL
''The last letter received from my
daughter was written three weeks ago. In
this letter she said everything had gone
wrong since she came to Montpelier, but
she thought it would 60 better when the
birds flew over her grave. | think my
daughters's mind was cIazed and Devil
dered with love. feel sure John Wheeler
had paid her more or less attention and
think he had promised to marry her.
''She told me this morning that she was
engaged to John Wheeler, and that she
had letters from him in her trunk, but
have not felt like looking at them yet
While we were speaking of these things
this morning, she said, 80, John, dea
John, what shall | do?" and burst into
tears.
"My daughter has never begged me t.
bring her revolver that she might shoe
herself, though she did ask where her re
volver was, and said they had taken
away from her. My wife's father, Lena
grandfather, while in an insane frenzy
committed suicide by cutting his throat
His brother was insane. Lena's mothe
died OF heart disease. Two OF my aunts ar
insane, and Peter Crane, who lately die
in the insane asylum at Waterbury, wa
my cousin
II think it is very strange Lena was nc
instantly killed, as the doctor tells me tn
bullet entered her ear and is now lodge
in her brain. He says it may be two o
three weeks before he will be able to sa
whether she will recover or not. He fear
an abscess will form. I shall stay wit
her as long as she needs me-"

low with satisfaction. Weary with two
weeks standing on their feet they lie
down in the snow, for they know that
their salvation has come; that now
their bodies will not freeze to the
ground.
The wind increases in strength and
warmth; it blows now in one steady
roar; the temperature has risen to thir-
ty-eight degrees; the great eXpanse of
snow, thirty inches deep on level, is
becoming damp and honeycombed by
the hot wind, and we retire satisfied
that the chinook" is genuine and
lasting one.
Twelve hours afterward there are
bare brown hills everywhere; the
plains are covered with floods of water.
In few days the wind will evaporate
the moisture and the roads will be dry
and hard. Were it not for the chin
ook" winds the northern slope coun-
try would not be habitable, nor could
domestic animals survive the winters

Even the Cattle in Montana Recognize

Picture to yourself wild waste Of
snow, wind beaten and blizzard fur.
rowed until the vast expanse resembles
a billowy white sea. The frigid air.
blowing half a gale, is filled with
needlelike snow and ice crystals
which sting the flesh like the bites
of poisonous insects and sift through
the finest crevices. The sun, low down
in the southern horizon, looks like a
frozen globe, with halves, crescents
and bright prismatic bars encircling
it.
Great herds of range cattle, which
roam at will and thrive OH the nutri-
tious grasses indigenous to the north
ern slope, wander aimlessly here and
there, or more frequently drift with
the wind in vain attempts to find food
and shelter; moaning in distress from
cold and hunger; their noses hung
with bloody icicles, their legs CALLED
and bleeding from breaking the hard
snow crust as they travel-they appeal
to the hardest heart for pity. 1t is
sure death for human beings to be
caught out in one of these awful biz
yards, with the temperature down to
thirty or fifty degrees below zero, I'M
less rescue is speedy. Yet, such con-
ditions frequently exist in this lati-
tude, as they did for fifteen days in
November, 1896, when it seemed as if
the elements had conspired to bring
about another ice age and annihilate
every living thing.
Would the chinook" never come
The wind veered and backed, now
bowling as if in derision, and anon be-
coming calm as if in contemplation of
the desolation on the face of nature,
while the poor dumb animals continued
| their ceaseless tramp, crying with pain
and starvation. AT last, on December
/, at about the hour of sunset, there
was a change which experienced
plainsmen Interpreted as favorable to
the coming of the warm southwest
wind. At sunset the temperature was
only thirteen degrees, the air scarcely
in motion, but occasionally seeming to
descend from overhead. Over the
| mountains in the southwest a great
bank of black clouds hung, dark and
| awesome, whose wide expanse was I'M
broken by line or break; only at the
upper edge the curled and serrated
cloud, blown into tatters by wind, was
seen to be the advance courier of the
long prayed for chinook" How Gag
erly we watched its approach! How
we strained our hearing for the first
welcome sight of the gentle breath!
But it was not until 1885 p. NJ. that
the first influence was felt First, a
puff of heat, summer-like in compari-
son with what had existed for two
weeks, and we run to our instrument
shelter to observe the. temperature. Up
goes the mercury, thirty-four degrees
in seven minutes. Now the wind has
come with a twenty-five miles yeloe-
ity. Now the cattle stop travelling, and

Precaution Necessary at Railroad Crossings

1t will be remembered that one of the
principal speakers booked for the Baptist
convention here last week was DR.. Woelf.
kin of Brooklyn and that he was unable to
be present owing to a terrible accident on
Monday to tally-ho party of "a Of his
young people when five were killed out
right and all were injured. This was one
of the saddest accidents which has hap
pened in the great metropolis in many
years.
Speaking of the accident the New York
Sun said editorially.
Mccormick, the driver, can find no ex.
cuse in any failure on the part of the rail
road. A grade crossing is a common
thing, with which man fit to go without a
keeper is supposed to be able to deal But
about this crossing the woods concealed all
approaching trains from persons coming up
by the road. Every man who has ever
driven knows the difficulty or the imp ossi-
bility of hearing sounds from outside above
the noise of the vehicle itself. At this
drivers ear there were young people sing
ing, chattering, and laughing and making
racket enough perhaps to drown an en-.
gine's whistle or the gong of the crossing,
even if the coach had been running on vel
vet. 1t was heavy coach, very heavily
laden. and with team OF six horses, ex-
tending so far ahead that by the time
the leaders reached the track, the
driver might still have been hidden in the
trees. 1t was not a light or single-horse
wagon that could be whirled around almost
like saddle horse if danger arose sudden
ly.
All that it behooves the public to do il
to be mindful always that, no matter what
safeguards railroad may provide, in fact
or theory, againts accidents at crossing, nc
