WINTER.

WINTER.
Ole Winter is sturdy one,
And lasting stuff he's made OF;
His flesh is firm as iron-stone,
There's nothing he's afraid OF.
He spreads his coat upon the heath,
Nor yet to warm it fingers;
He scouts the thought of aching teeth,
Or chilblains on his fingers.
OF flowers that bloom or birds that
sing. :.
Full little cares or knows he;
He hates the fire and hates the spring.
And all that's warm and cozy.
But when the foxes bark aloud
On frozen lake and river
When round the fire the people crowd,
And rub their hands and shiver;
When first is splitting stone and WALL
And trees come crashing after
That hates he hot, he loves it all
Then bursts he out in laughter.
His home is by the North Poles
strand,
Where earth and sea are frozen;
His summer house, we understand
In Switzerland he's chosen.
Now from the North he's hither HE'D
To show his strength and power;
And when he comes we stand ASIDE
And look ct him and cover.

AFTER THE GOLD B00MS
inheritance of the Reactions Determining
Population

"The law that settlers follow the
line of least resistance suffers an ex-
ception when men seek gold" says
a writer in Ainslee's who goes on to
prove it. I'm the natural order OF
things, population would have worked
itself in a continuous progression TO-
work the Rocky Mountains, crossing
them only by cOmpulsion, as the Ale
ghanies were crossed and the Missis-
sippi and the Missouri Rivers. But
where there is gold in sight there Is no
law. Humanity goes into Alaska
with the same blind avidity that it
went into California fifty years ago,
with the same fatuousness that IL
swept to Pixies Peak in 1858. POpula-
ton forsook all its domiciles, its pa
tronages and it's prosperity, in the Ar
gonaut period, and, as if driven by
some monstrous wind, surged over the
uneven earth to the Pacific and to the
Rockies. The whole world knows how
it did so, and the suffering that en-
sued is as common story as the for
tunes that were won. But the thing
that is not known, the matter OF last
ing importance that is most often over
looked, is the migratory reaction, the
settling back of the big food to the
places in which, either by necessity or
by choice, it must finally rest. The
character of the Great West, the
| Trans Missouri, with its multiple var
iations, is determined by this phenom,

of farmer who had wombat for
pet. He took it long way into the

twice the little animal returned, hav-

adopted home.
The third time the farmer conveyed
it across a deep and broad river; and,
as the wombat cannot swim, he felt
sure he had gotten rid OF the persist
emit pet. But no; the little creature
soon found huge. fallen tree. which

WHICH WAS COLONEL BROOKS +?

In big, sunny barn-chamber stood
a basket filed with hay. In this soft
nest proud mother cat was purring
her four babies off to sleep.
One was Maltese, with sky-blue
eyes. Two were black and white.
But one was black all over; not white

pretty big name for a kitty-baby.
wasn't it?
Well, he was a darling from the
very start. He loved and trusted
everybody. You should have seen
him step up to our big dog, Rufus,
without one sign of fear. coaxing him
to be friendly with the sweetest of
love-making.
And old Rufus, who up to that time
had hated the very sight of cat, fell
in love with the little colonel on the
spot.
Colonel Brooks had never slept by
himself, so he would have been very
homesick if Rufus had not shared his
bed with him. Uncle Will made it
his business to see that they went to
bed early.
But one night when Uncle Will was
very late in coming home, he found
black kitty on the front oor..step,
