An active buying movement arose in Nor

OF the other soft coal roads hardened, hut
other stocks showed but little rallying
power. Prices, however, were above the
lowest, with business almost at standstill

That man need have neither hands
nor feet to be a success in the world
is shown by the career OF Michael Jo-
seph Dowling. speaker of the Minne-
sofa house of representatives. A ter
rible experience in blizzard when
boy brought out the latent possibilities
in the youth as nothing else that could
happen to him might have done. Forty
years ago Bowling was born in Yel-
low Medicine county, Minnesota, the
son of poor farmer. Early in De-
cember, 1880, as is told by a writer
in the st. Louis Republic, hard bliz-
and in a short time provisions were
low. It was unsafe to venture out OF
doors, and every effort was made to
make the food in the Bowling family
last until the blizzard should have
spent its fury. But the blizzard lasted
for an unusually long period. and 1t
became necessary to get more food or
starve. The elder Dowling was i'll,
and the young man started on foot
for the village, three miles distant. to
get provisions. He reached the village
grocery store with less difficulty than
he had expected. and was soon on his
return laden with flour, meal and other
stores. He soon found that the trip
homeward was not as easy as the first
half of his journey, but he plodded
on with head down to protect his face
from the blasts of wind and snow.
Suddenly he discovered that he was
off the road. He tried to find II. but
was unsuccessful The wind was get
ting colder and colder. He became
more and more bewildered. With
dogged determination he trudged on
and on holding his precious bundles
of food nearer to him. In the storm
he could not find a single familiar
landmark After hours of aimless
wandering night fell. and the farmers
son was still struggling through the
snow.
The next morning dawned bright
and clear. The blizzard had passed
on toward the Great Lakes. Bowling
found himself within hundred yards
of his own home. But he could not
walk further, and mis- voice could not
be heard five feet away He sank down
exhausted, almost within reach of his
home and gave up all hope of reach
ing it. But his mother saw him fall
