Forty Hours in a Snow Drift.

bloOdcurdling stories regarding his
experience during the recent storm.
He says that he was east of Big
Springs onfone of the T. P. L. c..

which necessitated q delay sufficient
to allow the storm to completely
tie them up. He says that
the snow banked in around them until
getting out seemed an utter impossible
lily. The snow fall was so heavy that
it was impossible to see a hundred
yards ahead. I'VE were in this predic-

What it al1;MeanS,

Work on the big ice house for the
Santa Fe railroad has commenced and
it will be pushed rapidly to completion.
Regarding the structure the Las We
gas Optic has the following to say:
The p acing'of this contract by the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe company
means great deal for the business
solidity and advancement OF Las Vegas.
The railroad company needs ice, and
with each passing year, withthe general
growth OF it's business, the increase in
refrigerator car service following the
development of southwestern fruit
growing. etc. it needs more and more
ice yearly, and after investigation of
the subject of cost 1t finds that Las
Vegas. while enjoying the finest all the
year round climate on earth, is at the
same time so pecu !iarly situated that it
can boast of more sunshine and more
ice at one and the same time than any
other locality out of doors.
This is no fairy tale. l. is fact,
fully and thoroughly demonstrated by
men of business, brains and Drawn in
the empty of the A. T. & S. F. cOmpa-
ny. Hence it happens that the latter
corporation has entered into a contract
with the Aqua Pura water company OF
all the railroad ice houses, in the south
west, including thosa at Pueblo and
La Junts, Colo, Ell Paso, Texas, AL
buquerque and as far west as Ash
Fork, AriZoua.
These will be supplied with the crys-
taline substance harvested at and ship
ped from Las Vegas. This contract
runs for a term Of years under this ar
rangement.

The Santa Fe are considering the ao-
visibility of putting on an express
train between this city and Silver
City, New Mexico. Mr.. Houghton,
who is the company's general agent ut
this point, think tn at he will be able
to show business sufficient to warrant
the company putting on this train.
The idea has met with great favor
among the business men of Ell Paso and
great many of them have announced
their intention Of assisting Mr.. HOuo b.
ton in his efforts to secure this priv
ilege from the authorities. There is
no doubt but that the train would be a
great benefit to FL Paso and it is hoped
that Mr.. Houghton will be successful
in his efforts.
The PRESCOTT Journal-Miner says:
Last Thursday afternoon q man con-
nected with the engineer corps of the
Santa Fee, Phoenix & Prescott railroad,
left the party engaged in running the
proposed cutoff of the line to return
to camp. 1t WAS showing quite heavily
at the time and he became bewildered
and lost his way and wandered around
all night. His comrades became
alarmed at his failure to put in sn ap-
pearanre at the camp and a searching
patty was sent out after him, but they
did not find him until after daylight on
Friday morning. When found he was
in half dsZed condition and almost ex-
hausted from the exposure of the
night. He was brought to the Sisters
hos pital, where he has almost recOv-
cred.

G. w. Buckley, T. P. brakeman,

self as follows: I'm my opinion he wss
killed while attempting to step on the
brake beam of car A. r. T., No. 3OO2,'
which was the first car in a train of
five being pushed by the engine. My
opinion Is that when his foot slipped he
lost his hold, fell under the car and
was instantly killed."
The Temple Tribune is responsible
for the following story of railroad rush
of business: Zone of the stories told
of the freight blockade in Temple yards
Is that of an engine. It is related that
when the train came in it was impos-
sible TO get the engine to the round
house, and it was left on siding. Cars
were run i all around it, and when
three days afterwar the string of cars
on that track was pulled out, the
switchmen found the engine that had
been forgotten in the rush.
The Santa Fe are preparing to give

Said one of crew yesterday: "The peo-

set depot in San Antonio as
could possibly be imagined and
the company is not even considering
the idea of building new one. You
can make up your mind that this
structure will stand for the next forty
years unless it is destroyed by a storm
or fire. I will venture TO say, how
ever, that when the S. P. company find
it necessary to build a depot at this
point they will build fine one "

A Chicago Methodist Preacher.

The following are a few epigrams
from the sermon of DR.. Frank Crane
at Trinity Methodist Church:
God wants obedience, not obci-
sance.
The man who runs away from God
has long way to go.
A religious sinner is worse than a
wicked sinner.
Some men are Christians in only the
same way they are Americans or Cau-
casians.
The religious question is not whcth-
er you are going to heaven, but wheth-
er you are doing your best to make Ii
heaven here.
When one will not rise to princi-
pie. he tries to bend the principle
down to him.
God alone can be served filially
all other masters must be served in
slavery.
The greatest crime Of which q man
can be capable is to dcbauch his own
convictions.
We need also to pray, Forgive US
our righteousness" for it is the So
called righteousness Of mankind that
killed Jesus and yet obstructs him.
No amount of polteness. education
or religiosity can keep a selfish heart
utterly concealed; you cannot carry
asaf%tida in your inside pocket and
not be found out
1t is better to flee from the temple
than to pollutc it.
1t is not so easy to explain religion
IS &c explain it away.
Evil is never dangerous until it
seems to be good.
u corporation is Il contrivancc by
which to get profits and escape re-
sponsibility.
If traditional theory be true. the
directors in some corporations will
have to spend the week days in hell,
and Sundays with their family in
heaven.
The commercial conscience is the
modernized Tctzelism.
The open sinner is only an alien
from God; the hypocrite is Gods enc
my Chicago Inter- Ocean.

This State in other Wars.

Now that war is upon u. few facts
concerning South Carolina's place in
previous wars may be worthy Of no
tice, aud may also act as a spur upon
the patriotism Of any who may be
lacking in that estimable quality.
In 1912 the six New England States
furnished, to be exact, 5,162 men, and
the little and much-abused State Of
South Carolina furnished 5,696, or
500 more than all of New England.
In that war the entire North furnish
ed SO, BOZ, and the entire South, with
a sr1aller population, furnished 96, ,812,
or not very far from double the num-
ber-fully double considering the pop
ulation.
In the Mexican war Massachusetts
furnished Loaf men, and all the other
New England States furnished 1852.
Plucky little South Carolina furnished
5, ,262, or more than double as many
men as all of New England, while the
ea.;:e Ncr..k sss--ss;;shsd 23, 90 ,o54A A54 men aud
the entire South furnished 43. $50 men.
The facts and figures are taken from
the archives at Washington, ''Thorns
in the Flesh, page 300.
History must not be: permitted to
record the failure Of South Carolina
to furnish the quota called for in the
present emergency.
May the God Of battles shield our
| gallant braves, whether aaoat OF
ashore, is .the prayer rising from many
q heart. The State.

The Sins ef the Tongue.

The Inns of the tongue all point to
the necessity and profit Of self-mast-
cry. So evident and 80 important did
this appear to James that it occurs
again and again in his Epistle. SIN
many things we all stumble, he writes.
eff any stumble not in word, the same
is perfect man, able to bride the
whole body Also If this confession
Of failure and magnifying Of the Office
of the tongue be then exaggerated, let
any one sit down quietly and think Of
the sins and cruelties of human speech.
The careless words which no repent
ance can call back again; the rash
promises which it has cost us 30 much
to fulfill the expressions Of the lower
nature, which has shamed the higher;
the confessions Of evil and yielding to
falsehood ; the hot angry words which
sober thought condemned-these are
some Of the perils of the tongue
