taches the nuts. II reaches the mat

The Weavnr.

When silver bells ring out the old,
And play the new year in,
4 spirit In the winter WOODS
Softly begins to spin:
NO mortal eye has seen her face,
Or watched her labors there,
But crocus buds are In her bre east,
And blossoms In her hair.
She weaves, upon her magic loom,
The snowdrop's silver sheen,
The tender tint OF April boughs,
The meadows velvet green;
The lilac and the daffodll
Beneath her fingers grow,
And as she tolls from day to day,
About her melts the snow.
So what II clouds are dark with storm,
And windows white with frost.
And voices OF the running brooks
In Icy wales are lost:
What III the wondrous northern lights
Their crimson banners fling
stu Nature In her woodland weaves
The bridal robe of Spring.

A novel way of introducing a new

by their apparel that they are grooms,
Wallets or servants of some kind are
sent about the shops to buy the article
which is being doomed. They insist
upon having this particular article and
no other, rejecting any substitute

In many cases the tradesman has
not the article in question, but is sure
to lay in a stock when a few days

Horses Find sustenance Under Many
Feet Of Snow.
A recent book on the Klondike counS
try says: In November, 1898, horses
were left to die on the trails and in
Dawson. There was neither work nor
feed for them. Horses were offered
to me for their keep, but ! refused.
These same horses wandered up in
the hills. where the snow was five
feet deep. They brushed the snow
away with feet and nose, finding lus
cious whortleberries, blackberries and
raspberries in great quantities. The
lowest authentic record at the bar
racks was 81 degrees below zero. Yet
in the spring the horses we're re-
claimed by their owners and looked
infinitely better than when turned out
to die at the beginning Of the winter.
This was lesson as well as a revela
ton. During the summer OF 1899
horses were imported into the Klon'
dixie in numbers and 200 OF them
passed the next winter in transport
ing men and supplies from Dawson to
the mines. The dogs were almost en-
tirely superseded and their value
formerly $150-became merely nomi'
