THE AVALANCHE

until it seemed to merge it's whiteness
in the sky.
Several times, as they had journey
ed, they had heard the loud roar of an
avalanche. But now curious rumb-
ling sound, as if some vast body were
being drawn over the surface of the
mountain, fell on their ears. Minute
by minute it appeared to come nearer.
Suddenly one of the men uttered a
cry of horror, and pointed frenziedly
at the mountain.

j ind seemingly terrible rate was a

whole mountain was pouring out its

Rushing Around Their Feet.

without many a warning word had
they set out that morning.
One glance at the pinched, bronzed
faces of the men told that, despite the
fact that the day was warm for the
time Of season, their bodies were al
ready feeling the cold acutely. And
the solitary woman at their side
wound her cloak more closely about
her, walking with chattering teeth.
Theirs was a tale of suffering. Only
that morning they had set out from
the country of their birth, Italy; beau

buoyed by the hope that every step
was bringing them nearer to a new
country, to Switzerland, where men
said they would surely find employ
ment, they faced the Great st. Ber-
nard Pass.
By midday they were halfway up
the mountain, trudging bravely
through the deep snow. On their
right lay a deep slope springing from
a thickly-wooded hollow. On the left
the mountain rose, gently slopings

BEST KIND OF HIVE.
20 Not Use the Box Hive Because It
Is Hard to Get At.

Box hives, says Farm and Home,
are not advised. Even though you
now think you will never open q
hive, you may change your mind, and
then 1t will be better to have had
movable-frame hives from the start.
Your bees may fall into the hands Of
someone who will great prefer the
movable frames. A colony In a box
hive may be queenless; you are help
less; the colony is doomed. With
movable frames you can easily deter
mine the condition Of the colony and
supply a queen, If lacking.
There Is no longer any patent on
the movable frame and good work
may be done with any one of the diff
ferent forms. The idea that II you
adopt certain make of hive you will
get an extra amount Of honey is all
fol-de-rol. Hives don't gather and
store honey; bees do that. One Of the

ordinary public does not understand this, being ac-

THE ooM1oUE.

The most pretentlous and the safest of the nicolet type of theaters was thrown open to the public yesterday at 1:30 p. rn., when The Comique, located in Polls Bijou theater building, opened it's doors
 A spacious lobby leads through the Bijou building to the rear, where the Comique has been fitted up. It is cosy little structure all by itself con- taining a seating capacity of nearly 800. Handsome decorations and plenty of ventilation mark this as one of the best and most elaborate ever put up in New England.
 F. J, Fisher has been placed In charge of the Comique and the enter tainment will consist of the latest illus trated songs, sung by well known sing CTS and motion pictures. The admission will be five cents and the shows win run continuous from 1S0 to i0;S0 D. m.
 The opening weeks pictures in the motion series includes The Athletic Girl, the. Bargain FIend, being a de- pietlon of the habit so prevailing in this country, o Kind Grandfather, being a pathetic and comical series, and the Sham Beggar
 "A penny arcade in the lobby provides diversion of entertainment and plenty of electric lights will make this place attractive. Persons who have watch ed the progress of the work on the Biiou building and were curious to know what 1t all meant are now let in- to the secret and no doubt the Comique will soon take its place as one of the places where the New Haven public seeks its entertainment.

Many had dry seats in the cars and others who did not care to sit down in puddle of water were willing to stand. But the limit was reached when, in boarding or alighting from the cars, the water ran down from the caves into ones neck. During the day the Connecticut company replaced quite a number of its cars with box cars and on the Lighthouse line four of these cars had been. shifted, much to the thankfulness of passengers. What was particularly aggravating was for a passenger to run for a box car, only to be told that it was going to the barn. But the company did its best under the circumstances and to- day more box cars are likely to be running, as rain is due to-day, all right, according to the weather report
