THE GREAT COLD WAVE.

Old Boreas has given the whole state
of Colorado a chill OF such kind that
everybody has been in shiver for the
past twenty four hours. Snow commen-
ced falling on the prairies, east OF the
range, at very early hour Thursday
morning and by Thursday night at the
midnight hour, mantle of the white,
covered the entire state, both in the
mountains and on the plains.
1t is this white mantle that covers the
whole face Of nature which is RESPONSE
BILE for the very cold and chilling atmos-
phere of this morning. The air is nip
pingly cold and has been all day. 1t is
the kind that gives frosted ears and
noses, without the utmost care is taken
of these exposed portions Of our anat-
omy.
The present storm is one entirely &C
credited to Colorado. The weather
men say that this state is Responsible
for two or three good storms during the
winter season and the storm and the
cold weather of the past few days can
be claimed by Colorado exclusively.
The trains on this side Of the range,
Notwithstanding the immense amount
Of snow in the mountains have been ar
irving pearly on time and the only dis
comfort we may feel here is the drop
in the temperature.
The Thermometer at various places in
the city this morning showed from ten
to fourteen below zero. 1t was an aver
age between the numbers.
The stock on ranges would doubtless
suffer, il the cold weather should con-
tinue any length OF time. However, it
is predicted that there will be rise in
the temperature very shortly, although
decided rise in the temperature may
not be expected until the snow begins
10 melt some.

His Plan.

"say, stranger, said "a manto an
almanac agent out west, "I'll take
a thousand Of yer almanicksi if yer1l
sell 'em to me cheap"
"Al right All right!' almost
shouted the agent, jumping at the
chance of his life and wondering
what in the world the man wanted
with so many almanacs.
Eyer see" continued the man, II
had one of yer almanicks last year
and every time the almanick said
one thing knew it would be the
other way, SO raised a powerful
good crop. What I calculate on is
to distribute the almanicks through
the country SO the people will raise
their crops by them, and I'll put in
a whopper of crop and go ag'in the
almanick. Then them folks will
fail in their crops and I'll have a
good crop and sell it at my own
price
The agent came near collapsing
then, but sold the almanacs and
heard the farmer say: Much
obleeged. expect to make my for

why the Cat Waited.

To be shaved while travelling on a
fast flying railroad train is not the
pleasantest thing in the world,
though the accidents to men occupy
ing the barber's chair on the "fler"
are not so numerous as one might
suppose. A writer in the Buffalo
Enquirer tells story of man who
amid the joggles and turns and
bumps of the car noticed with some
trepidation black cat mewing and
licking its chops expectantly.
What is the cat so interested for2"
asked the man. Its waiting fo1
an ear, said the barber And the

Rat and Ferret.

A big rat that made it's home un-
der the carnivora house in Central
park was caught in a large wire
trap. To kill the rat ferret was
turned into the cage The battle
that ensued stirred all the sporting
blood in the veins of those who
watched it.
The rat was inches long and in
the pink of condition. The ferret
was fat and beefy. The antagonists
eyed each other warily. Then the
rat attacked the ferret. His teeth
were cleverly evaded, and he was
chased into his corner.
Some close infghting followed,
the animals being clinched and
struggling vigorously. The ferret
scored first blood, biting the rat be-
tween the eyes. But the ferret's fat
had begun to tell, and his wind was
almost gone. The rat did not give
him a chance to rest and soon had
the blood streaming from wound
in his side.
The ferret became desperate and
rushed his enemy all over the ring.
A cinch followed with the animals
rolling all over each other, fighting
for death. The ferret suddenly saw
an opening and sank his long Incl
sors in his antagonists throat, shak-
ing him in fury. The rat squealed
in agony and fell dead as the ferret
threw him across the trap and lay
down painting and weak from loss of
blood.-New York World.

Muller and Macaulay.

Professor Max Muller tells char
acteristic story of Lord Macaulay in
his Literary Recollections" R in Cos
mopolis. The advisability Of provid-
ing for the instruction in Sanskrit
of English youths destined for serv-
ice in India was debated question,
and Macaulay sent for Professor
Muller, who was an advocate of such
instruction, in order to hear what he
had to say in its support. The in
terview lasted an hour, during which
the professor found it impossible to
get in word edgewise against the
flood of arguments against his posi-
ton which poured from the histo-
rian's lips. When the harangue was
ended, he was dismissed with thanks
for the valuable information he had
impaired.

An Unfair Advantage.

DR.. Lasker, the great chess player,
when in London is in the habit OF
occasionally visiting certain res
taurant in the city we'll known to
many chess devotees. On one OF
these occasions, just prior to his de-
parture for St. Petersburg to play
DR.. Steinitz for the championship, a
tu. Y old gentleman offered to play
him Tor box of cigars if he would
concede him the odds of queen.
The offer was good naturedly ac-
copied, and on Lasker's winning he
became the recipient of a box OF
doubtful looking cigars, which,
however, the donor averred were OF
good quality.
On visiting the same restaurant
after easily defeating Steinitz Las
ker happened to meet his late oppo-
nent, who asked him what he had
thought of the cigars.
First rate, y replied the cham
pion; in fact, l might almost say
they won me the match.
"Indeedl am delighted to hear
it," returned the old gentleman,
much pleased.
Yes" continued Lasker, with a
merry twinkle in his eye, Il gave

An Inconsistent rhcorist.

"Down with monopoly!' ez.
claimed the grocery man indignant
ly. "That's my sentiment every
time, and I don't care who hears it"
"There is no doubt that the trusts
are exercising a tremendous power
in the business of this country" re-
piled the man who had come in to
get package of smoking tobacco.
"It is a shame and a disgrace.
They are forcing down prices SO that
it is almost impossible for the small
dealer to make a living. 1t makes
my blood boil to think of the way
in which they stamp out competi-
tionl''
GLOW do they go about it9'
"Why, sir, if they find that some
body's goods are being sold instead
of theirs, they will cut the price of
their commodity SO as to bring it
lower than the other firms, and so
leave him no ground to stand onl
That's where the Dealers profit
goes. Take, for instance, that pack
age of tobacco. I used to get Is
cents for that.
"How much do you want for it
now9'
"Ten cents.
"Ten centsl That's as much as
Bobson charges. He has the repu-
tation Of being the dearest man in
the eighborhood too.'
"Does Bobson only charge 10
centsS'
"That's ALL"

IN LOVES TENDER KEEPING.

Hold me a little away from the world,
Dear arms. with your tenderest clinging.
The bird with its breast to the blue singeth
sweet
But the stars never answer its singing.
The cold lights but lure US to lead Us astray,
The thorn's in the red Of the rose qf the May.
Hold me little away from the world,
Dear arms, With your firm clasp and tendss.
For the lights on the heights stream through
desolate nights,
A tempest Of tears in the splendor.
IT'S the gleam and the dream that would lead
Us astray.
The keen thorns have crimsoned the roses Of
May.
Lead me to love. dear. and teach me to pray.

Dad Clarke's Order.

Ball players thrive on good food
when they are travelling. Some OF
them go through the bill of fare at
the big hotels like hungry tramps
at Il cottage door. Several years
AGO the New Yorks were in Louis
vile. Dad Clarke and Eddie Burke
were sitting at the table together,
and Eddie said to Dad:
"You give the order. -
Dad picked up the programme"
and was confronted with long list
of French dishes which Dad would
not have attempted to pronounce
for big money.
"Come here" yelled Dad to the
waiter, "and don't be swelling up
in that dress suit!" Then Dad put
his forefnger on the bill of fare and
let it slide slowly down past the
various names.
"Gimme some O. that.
"Bring me lot O. that.
"I want plenty O. that.
"Lug along dish O. this.
"Gimme a pile O. that stuff and
have it good. See?"
"Wee! Wee!" said the waiter,
who turned inquiringly to Burke.
Eddie waved him off with the i'm
perious request:

the leather springed coach as 1t
rocked like tempest tossed vessel.
"On neither side did anything
take definite shape. We moved, as
t were, between two great walls
of darkness, somewhat as in a
swift railway train when passing
through narrow gorge. There was
no difference between the wall Of
rock on one side and the abyss on
the other l continued standing,
clinging to the stanchions with
deadly clasp, possessed by vague
impression that a jump must be
made at some approaching crisis. l
have an indistinct impression that
the woman in the drivers seat had
both her arms about the waist of
the Englishman and that he stood
with his face to the wall to the left
and clung to the railing of the seat
like a drowning man to storm
tossed spar.
II recall that we seemed scarcely
to touch the ground; that we flew;
that our movement was one of vast
leaps, in which we struck the ground
with a resounding clash, like YES
sci in storm when its bow is met
by wave. 1.-THE air pushed against
my face as if it were some demoni-
acal energy trying to wrench me
from the coach. All the time, in
my hazy consciousness, lying appar-
emily across the road was impend-
ing death. l felt it was the fate
which menaced u.s. 1t was black
wall against which we would break
and Decentralization.
II have no idea of the time. 1t
might have been minute; it might
have been 90 for aught that l COM
pretended during our descent. |
only recall that we went rocking,
laundering down the steep grade
and observation-disclosures.
Here the dark man stopped his
narration, as if there were no more
to say.
You were not killed evidently"
said one of the listeners What
else happeneds"
Nothing much. When came to
myself, we were in front of ranch
used for station. The coach had
stopped, and several men were run
ming toward NUS from the stables
The four white horses stood with
dropping heads in front Of the coach
and were hardly visible through the
dense cloud of steam which rose
from their heaving bodies. The
driver was sitting in his seat, his el-
bows on his knees, his chin resting
on his hands and himself as impas-
sive as if cut in marble. F"
How about the rock you were
going to smash up againsta That's
what I'd like to know"
That's what I'd like to know
myself replied the dark man. II
believe, however, that just where
we rounded the rock there was
deep impression in the road on the
side next to the wall, and it was the
dip of the wheels in this hollow
which prevented the coach swinging
outward, SO that as it righted we
had passed in the open place just
few feet from the gulch. 1t was the
tremendous shock as the wheels
plunged into the depression and the
thought we had struck the rock and
I was killed which made me insen-
sible.
Anybody hurtf"
mot hair of one Of our heads.
The driver landed us in as good con-
dition as we are this minute in this
room. We made up purse for him
of 500, and the company gave him
as much more. That's all. I'm off.
