Mrs. E. 6. Hood, who is visiting
her son Henry in New York CITY
bad a rather trying experience
after reaching the metropolis In
her hurr, to GIT off last week, she
forget to take the address of her
son with her, and when she
reached New York she was at a
loss where to go. She telegraphed
her husband to send her the ad-
dress OF her son aud he m~islnter-
pref d the telegram. He thought
that his wi e was telegraphing the
add ELS for him to write to while
she was there. Mrs. Hood had
made up her mind to return home
before seeing Der boy. However,
she attended church Sunday morn
ing and was much surprised to
have her son come in and sit
down be~ide her. 1t is needles
to add that the surprise brought
great joy to both mother and son.
Col. Jno. e. Morris, the veter-
an Knight cf the Grip. s in the

Morris decide TO take to the horse
as a means of locomotion. So
stately did Col. Morris and his
steed amble across the white ex-
panse of snow that even the small
boys playing SNOWFALL in the
street, who r generally irrepress-
ible and irrespective of whom
they aesaiI, were awed into statues
of admiration as he passed by, and
even il they thought of throwing

after picking out a deep place in
the STOW, for obvious reasons, he
proceed to di>mount-WelI, suf-

dignity in this trying ordeal and
the small bows lost all their awe;n
consequence of which Col. Morris
saught seclus on and safety in the
bank and t%elephoned for his valet
to como for the horse. This end

His limbs nave every appearance of having been the upper limbs at the lower end Of the wrists. and the lower limbs below the knee. the left leg just below the knee, and the rignt leg. below the ankle. His right wrist widens out as II a part of the hand remained, and he has n very short one-jointed little finger.
 He attended the public schools and en- tered Mills's Institute of South Williams town. which prepared youths Tor coilese. He. became fond of writing. and during the last year of his course was awarded the first prize for penmanship.

CURIOUS RAIN STORMS.
Downpour in Colorado Where Fall
Never Reaches the Ground.


Never Reaches the Ground.
There is at least one place in the
United States where man may be
out in a heavy rain and not get wet,
even though he has neither mackin-
tosh nor umbrella.
In the Colorado desert they have
rain storms during which not a drop
of water touches the oearth. Ths
rain can be seen falling from the
clouds high above the desert, but
when the water reaches the strata
of hot, dry air beneath the clouds, it
is entirely absorbed before falling
half the distance to the ground.
These strange rain storms occur
in regions where the shade tempera-
tre often ranges as high as 12S above
zero.-Denver News.
