Narrow Escape of Geo.
 HiIfricil from Death

The blizzard which has blown at intervals for the past week OF ten days brought death rather close to at least one man. This was George IIilfrich, who left Nome on Dee. 20 for Oregon creek. A blizzard found him on the tra l and he lost his way. After being out three days and two nights, he found himself on the SinrCck river. During that time he had not tasted food. While the blizzard was at it. herccst he borrowed into snowbsnk. He was clad in Turs or he would undoubtedly have peii>hed. To add to hi. troubles he struck an overflow during his wand crings and got his feet wet. But the care he took prevented freezing very badly, although both feet were frozen somewhat. When he left Nome he carried a pair of skis, but these he could not use in the violent storm and he was forced to abandon them. Mr. Elilfrich reached Nome on Saturday evening.

FRANK R. STOCKTON.

The Salt Lake Herald says that
the world will never know whether
it was the lady or the tiger. The
lips OF the only man who could
have told are sealed now Frank
r. Stockton is dead. From his
busy fingers the pen has fallen for>
ever and one OF the most unique OF
American writers passes to the
other side. Whether or not Mr..
Stockton made for himself a per>
manent place in the world of liter>
ature, time alone can tell. Perhaps
he has, perhaps he has not, but
there was charm about his work
which entitled him to more than
passing recognition.
Stockton rarely attempted to in
struct. His province was to amuse
and that he did admirably. He
had knack of telling impossible
stories as though they were possi-
BILE. Reading them, one knew they
could not have happened, but the
fascination was there, sure and lasts
ing. or all his stories, the one for
which Mr.. Stockton will be best
and longest remembered is, The
Lady, or the Tiger 1t is not a
pretentious story at all. Indeed, it
is one of the shortest of his many
tales, but his unique method Of cons
Guiding it, call it trick or what you
will, gave Stockton fame in more
lands than one.
Many efforts were made to in>
duce the author to satisfy the curl
osty of his readers, but they were
always unsuccessful On one oc>
casion he attended a reception at
which the ices were in the form OF
ladies and tigers. (Which will you
have, Mr.. Stockholm asked the
hostess. Both" he replied, smil-
ingly, to her utter discontinue.
Although in the later years of his
life Mr.. Stockton work was con-
fined to stories for adults, his first
real prominence was attained
through his juvenile books. While
assistant editor of St. Nicholas he
wrote a number of charming stories
for boys and girls.
