This soliloquy of old Mortality is prompted by cold toes and view from the window at 2 a. m, December IS. 1904. Snow twenty inches deep, weather eight above zero, with three months more to follow for some of us:
 BEAUTIFUL SNOW. How ] do wish that you would go Down, down below, where they need
 you So, And cool the tongue of the addle-
 brained cuss Who rasps our souls, yeIping such
 dreadful slush, As beautiful beautiful, beautiful snow; Our imp whispers, oh, for the land of
 the orange and vine. Hal Hal" We'll know we the land of the orange
 and vine, Where we sflivered with den-gue and
 dosed with quinine, Where the blood leaves our toes, the
 sneeze finds our nose, And we pine to get back to the hob-logs
 and snows. Snow-chill or den-gue chill The devil or the deep sea, Choose. ye Poor prisoner of hope.''
