Louisville, KY, April 4.-The presi,
dent enjoys every momeh. of the trip.
AT every station where a stop of two
or three minutes is made he makes
his appearance on the back platform.
AS early as 4:30 o'clock people were
waiting 1T the stations along the
route, though drawn curtains prevent
ed a sight of the party. At Pewee
Valley, KY, 200 inmates of the Con-
federate Veterans home were drawn
up and saluted as the train passed by
slowly. The president fastened from

thanks to the veterans. An old-time

PRESENT ONE OF THE SEvEREST
STORMS OF THE SEASON ON
THE LITTLE LARAMIE
Cattle Suffering Where Not Prop
erIy Housed-Chairman Jones of
Board of Commissioners Has Long
Drive Through the Storm.

Hon. c. II. Jones, chairman Of the
board of county commissioners, who
has been on his ranch on the Little
Laramie for a few days, reached the
city at 6 O'Clock yesterday afternoon, to
attend today's meeting of the board,
bringing with him his sons and tneir
guest, Adolf Merz, who had been on
the ranch for a day or two. The party
left the ranch at 3 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, finding the trip a very diff
cult n and an hour longer than usual.
When they left the ranch the wind was
blowing from the northwest, but it
soon changed to the northeast, beating
tthe storm in their faces for a time.
The o a vas entirely lost sight OF
at times. 1t was impossible to see an
object ahead any distance, the noun,
tains east of the city being entirely
hidden in the driving storm. Mr.. Jones
stuck to the grade of the Laramie
Plains line, keeping his bearing in that
way, finally reaching the city. More
than a foot of snow had fallen on the
splain this side of his ranch, but when
he reached to within five or six miles
of town he found a decreased depth
and that part of the trip was made
more comfortably.
Mr.. Jones say the storm is n of the
severest of the winter, amounting to
almost a blizzard. 1t showed all day
Sunday and the greater part OF yester-
day, the snow being nearly up to the
hub of his wagon wheels as he came to
town. Some OF the cattle that are not
protected will suffer. His own cattle
are nicely shielded and he fears no
loss. The ground is entirely covered
with snow and cattle are being fed hay
where possible.

Stages Had Hard Trips.


Both the Walden and Centennial
stages had very d~isagreeable trips
from the west yesterday afternoon, the
Walden stage, with Sid Lawrence as
driver, arriving at 1920, and the Cen
tennial stage, with Mr.. Jones in the
box, not arriving until 1915 a. m. The
nov across the plains was from
twelve to eighteen inches deep and the
roads entirely blotted out. Mayor Nc
Kee came from Centennial by stage.
The party left Centennial at 4 o'clock,
just an hour behind schedule time, and
not till midnight did the lights of the
city show up. The horses were unable
to do better than a walk most of the
way and the driver had to make his
own road, not being able to follow the
beaten path at any time. Once he
found himself on that portion of the
Laramie plains line where steel has
been laid and At another time the
stage was almost over an embankment.
There were three passengers beside
the mayor. The wheels of the stage
were covered with frozen snow and the
team was almost tired out when 1t
reached the barn.
Mr.. Lawrence fortunately had no
passengers after leaving Jelm, but his
team had all it could do to get the
heavy vehicle through snow up to the
hubs of the wheels. He left on time
this morning on the re turn trip.

"poa -1rotn Mi.nomer.

Dogs have a variety of gaits," said
the boss of the kennels, therefore !
can't understand why 1t Is that peo-
pie who describe a certain style OF
locomotion always call 1t a dog trot.
Judging by the universally of that
expression, a body would think that
a dog never moves any other way
than on a trot. But he does. All the
gaits belonging to other fourfcoted
animals are also his. He runs, he
lcpes, he even racks and PAGES, so
when a person in a hurry falls into a
peculiar kind Of canter. there would
be just as much in speaking
! OF his gait as a dog run or a dog gal
,op, once in a while, as always to call
