A WONDERFUL CREATURE.
Born Of snowdrift Crossed With q
Little Brown Hare.


Nature has tried many means Of saw
Ing her own from the snow death
Some IKE the woodehuck, she puts to
sleep Till the SHOWS shall be over
Others she teaches to store up food
and 10 hide. So she deals with the
wood mouse. To still others, as the
moose, she furnishes stilts. The last
means she employs is snowshoes.
This, the simplest, most scientific and
best, is the equipment Of the snow
fhoe rabbit, the wabasso Of Hiawntha,
d wonderful creature born OF snow.
drift crossed with d little brown hare
The moose Is like d wading bird OF
the shore that has stills and can wade
well for a space, but that soon reaches
the limit beyond which It is no better
off than a land bird. But the snow
shoe is like the swlmmer-it skins
over the surface where it will, not car
ing IL there be one or a thousand feet
OF the element below It. In this lies
its strength
Wabasso has another name. the vary
ing hare, because 1t varies IN color
with the season, and the seasons in all
its proper country are Of two colors,
brown for six months, white FOR six.
SO all summer long, from mid-April
70 mld-October the northern hare IS
little brown rabbit,
Then comes the snowy cold, The
brown coat is quickly shed, new
white coat appears. the snowshoe
grows fuller and the little brown hare
has become q white hare, the snow
shoe hare OF the woods. -EYerybody's

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Jan. 9.-The Vigi.
lance of the ST. Paul police saved an
unknown burglar and would-be safe
blower lot of trouble when Patrolman
Lynch frightened { re away from the
grocery store of =. w. Ranke, 742 Grand
avenue.
About a. m. Patrolman Lynch, while
making his rounds, heard a noise as of
breaking glass. He at once began a
tour of investigation, but was unable to
locate where the glass had been broken.
Feeling sure mischief wa" afoot, he sent
in a call to the ROndo police station
and in few minutes the patrol wagon
with five extra men arrived on the
scene. Further search resulted i'm the
finding by Patrolman Lynch of a step
ladder at the rear of the Ranke store
The ladder was leaning against the
wall, but above the rear door the glass
transom had been broken.
The burglar had made his entrance
here, and not knowing his breaking
the glass transom had aroused any one,
had calmly proceeded to prepare the
safe for blowing open. He had filled
must at this time have been frightened
away, for ne had proceeded no further
When the police forced the door a
guard had been placed at both the front
and back, but although no one, departed
from the place after the arrival of the
police a thorough examination of the
store failed TO reveal the presence Of
any one but the patrolmen.
The safe which the burglar intended
to blow open contained absolutely
nothing except the books and the firm,
which 1t was desirous of protecting
from fire, and even had he gained en-
trance to It the man would have had
only mis- trouble for his reward.

GREENWICH, Conn.,, Jan. 9.-In
the absence of Ernest Thompson Seton
in England his wife, Grace Gallatin
Seton, has voiced a protest against the
New Haven railroad company, which
has mapped out a route from Green
wich. through the Cos Cob valley. to-
ward Ridgefeld. going through the
Seton estate. The new line, ii is
claimed, will despoil the grounds which
have been devoted to summer camps
for boy Indian tribes of New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut.
For the boys sake an appeal will
be made through the Greenwich board
of trade To have the route changed.
Mr.. Seton purchased eighty acres of
woodland and rocks two miles back of
the sound at Cos Cob few years ago
and developed 1t into Wyndygoul, one
of the noted estates of Greenwich. The
railroad has sent Mrs. Seton a map
showing the route Of the new road, di-
rectly through the Indian camp ground,
the artificial lake and within 200 feet
Of the residence, which cost $50,000
Mrs. Seton has appealed t0 the pub
lie to join in her appeal TO save her
estate.

Hoke Smith.

Prom Monltrie Observer.
Hoke Smith continues to figure in the political
lime light and there are more improbable things
that happen sometimes than that the big Georgian
should figure in the presidential nomination at the
democratic convention next year Some have
thought that the south is entitled to representation
on the ticket and since Bailey of Texas has been
eliminated the chances are that Mr.. Smith will
rank first in popular favor.
1t is only newspaper rumOr, but the follow
ING from the Philadelphia Press is interesting in
this connection:
Governor Hoke Smith of Georgia, is the man
William Jennings Bryan thinks the Democrats
should make the Presidential candidate next year,
if they have doubts of his own availability. This
is the announcement friends of Mr.. Bryan i'll
Washington made today, it is believed by authOri
ty.
1T is said Mr.. Bryan has doubts about the
wisdom of again allowing himself to be put for
ward as the standard bearer of his party. He is
represented as believing the party would have
better chance of winning with new candidate
who ought to be taken from the south. And the
most available man in sight i'll that region. i'll his
opinion, is the newly elected Governor of Georgia,
who has national record and reputation and who
would be acceptable to all classes OF Democrats.
There is no doubt at all that Governor Smith
would get the electoral vote OF every southern
state, and the fact he stands well with the more
conservative Northern Democrats might be expect
ed to bring to him the votes of states like New
York and New Jersey, Mr. Smith is a reformer but
not an extremist
The Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic has
crossed the river to Alabama soil and is forging
on toward the iron and coal region about Birming-
ham. The first spike was driven yesterday, on the
Alabama section of the road. At Birmingham
the company owns large and valuable properties.
At AIulgay the road is building large mining town
on tractof coal landswhich will be connected with
the companys furnace properties at east Birming
