1.-The wind begins to gather strength
and the weird white fingers of the cotton
woods limned against the sky, clasp and
clutch at nothiugness in ghoulish trans
ports.
THE snow that changed to sleet, is
now transformed into infnitesimal particles
of ice and driven by the wind that beats
and pummels space, they cut like razors
and cleave like teasels The tiny par
ticles become part and parcel of the gar
ments you wear and hasten your undoing
The mercury shrinks and shrinks away
from the frozen blast till at last it too
freezes, and its pitiless tale becomes its
own epitaph.
God, how the storm demons rage.
They below and bawl, they scream aud
hiss, they snarl and screech T! Daylight
fees afrighted and supernatural gloom
enfolds the earth like the blackness Of des-
pair. The blizzard is full grown, and all
the lost souls in the inferno seem to be
helping crown it King of Terrors, whose
title is the White Death.
ebay and night for a week, perhaps,
the forces of nature race and the reign OF
the white death is absolute. All the
storms of all the ages gathered in enc day
would be but puny STRIPPING to Samp-
son compared with the awful devastation
of the white death demons.

THE WHITE DEATH
HAS wHIRLED BY.
No Man Can Face 1t in It's Strength
and Live.
From the Hagerstown 40 Herald.

From the HAgerstown (Md.l Herald.
In speaking of the recent storm man
at the hotel from Dakota remarked that
what had passed here was rather severe
but did not begin to compare with the
storms that ragged at his home, in the hot
bed of the blizzard
1--WE call it the White Death up in
my country, where the blizzard is born,
he said 'No man can face it in Its
strength and live. The brute lies down
before it, and the face of nature covers
under its snow blanket as though fright
ened at the awful calamity that the white
death brings.
1t is born, there on the immense tree
less mesas, and there is the scene of its
most awe-inspiring grandeur. You see a
weak imitation of it in the more southern
ATTITUDES, but it is ON the northern
plains that you witness that most terrible
of all nature manifestations, and feel it
in all the completeness of its devastating
wrath Like something from spiritland,
the snow falls some night, after a day that
has made you glad that you are alive, Of
is so full of mellow sunshine, so full ii
promise for month of soft winds, balmy
air and springs sweet promise. In an
hour, stretching away to the far north in
almost imitless expanse, the snowclad
wastes present scene of utter desolation
and dreary gloom. Down, degree by de-
gree, the temperature falls until the bitter,
merciless cold has turned the whole land
to stone. Not sound disturbs the great
wilderness of rock and snow. Not stain
discolors the dead, dazzling witness of
the landscape The evergreens that clus-
ter in the canons look like snow wreaths
The great white arms of the giant cotton
woods on the edge of the mesas shake
their white fingers against the blue white
sky with weird, fantastic motion that
chiIls the heart of one who sees them.
They are reckoning to the White Death.
