The story OF the SNOW.
The snow came down,
And in a night
Across the town
A garment white
Was softly drawn
From dawn to dawn.
They let it lie.
And many a germ
Drew softly nigh
To gayly squirm
Within each pile.
And after while
With SCOT and CRIME
Twas touched withal.
1t seemed in time
A funeral pail
Which we'll might be
Where germs make free.

WEDDING PROCESSION IN KOREA
When Bride-Elect of Crown Prince
Passed Through Streets of Seoul.

A magnificent blaze of color was the
impression which We first received of
| the procession of the bride-elect of the
| Crown Prince to the palace. We ex-
| pected a laroer procession than we saw
but our disappointment was more
than aileviated by the splendor of the
procession and the populace. Greens,
| yelloWs, pinkS, and blues, all in strik-
ing contrast and likely to be bizarre,
formed themselves into a truly deli
cate harmony.
The procession passed up the big
street at about 4 o'clock. The first to
come were a number of female SER
wants of the bride. They were mostly
old women and their march was some
| thing to be seen. n GLOWING them came
number of palace "gisang," each
one clad gorgeously and every one car
rying a pink parasol. Later came the
state chairs of the bride; there were
two of them and the bride was in the
second one. Meanwhile squads of
soldiers were marching up either side
of the streets, and as the chair of the
future Empress of Korea passed
through, the crowd stood back to make
room.
Following the. chair of the bride
were many OIncldlS all On HOTSeOdch
The colors were glorious, but the
procession could not have been more
than a quarter of a mile long, which
is a disappointment when we re-
member the interminability of a flu
neral procession.
At 6 o'clock the foreign representa-
tives were received in audience. The

HOW FAST HIAWATHA RAN.

Determine how fast, asks Professor
Greenhin, Hiawatha can run from the
following data:
Strong of arm was Hiawatha;
He could shoot ten arrows upward
And the tenth had left the bow
string
Ere the first to earth had fallen.
Swift of foot was Hiawatha
He could shoot an arrow from him
And run forward with such swift
ness
That the arrow fell behind him.
Neglecting the resistance of the air
and granting that Hiawatha could
shoot one arrow a second, the solution
is as follows:
The time of flight of the arrows shot
upward must have been nine seconds.
Therefore the velocity with which they
were shot. being equal to the time
multiplied into half the value of the
constant of gravity, was IA feet a
second.
Now. in shooting an arrow from him
Hiawatha, to obtain the furthest
flight, would let fly at an angle OF
forty-five degrees, and by simple
trigonometricaI calculation we, there
Lure. arrive dl tic AchSN SAASAS 49,
zontal velocity of the arrow would be
rather less than 144 feet a second, and
would. in fact, be 102 feet a second or
seventy miles an hour Hiawatha
would. therefore, have to run faster
than this. Could he do it on a sprint?
Again having recourse to a calcula-
ton we find that an arrow shot at
IA feet a second would fly PIC yards, or
nearly a furlong Hiawatha would run
that distance in about seven seconds,
so that he would be able to give the
present holder of the record some 14o
va r6c start II ondOri Post.

Somewhere along the boundary line
stretching from Yuma to the Facihc
coast tbare is a horseman with keen
eve turned toward the barren, rugged
mountains of Lower California or
sweeping the expanse of desert Nhlch
nm the far horizon merges into the salt
marshes at the head of the gulf be-
yond the Mexican border. If you meet
the figure by chance on narrow tran,
it is as well to answer any question
put by him frankly; for shield PIN
ned to his shirt proclaims him to be
a. or rather the, United States Bound
ary Rider, with authority to use The
rifle and pistol he carries.
Ii is a pretty long post, this of his,
hundred and fifty miles as the crow
flies; probably the longest and certain
" not the least exacting upon physical
endurance and temperament of any
single law guardian, national or other
wise. In the rough, still thinly set
tied border country of the Southern
California mountains and across the
wide, parched area of the Colorado
Desert there is work enough for one
man in intercepting cattle smugglers,
slippery Chinese immigrants, and an
occasional outlaw making hot of foot
for an asylum across the Mexican line.
Hence the reason why he does not fol-
low any regular patrol but, doubling
frequently on his trail, is, by day or
night, in binding dust storm or when
the torrential rains turn dry river beds
into cataracts, likely to be encounter
ed In some place, when information
might lead one to suppose he was
many miles distant. He is, in fact, an
example of the value Uncle Sam |
places upon the right kind of man, as
contrasted with the number employed |
by the Mexican Government for the
same duty across the border.
SIX TO ONE IN MEXICO.
AS vis-a-vis to the one American.
who is prepared to tackle squarely
any number of lawbreakers. the Mex
lean Government maintains a patrol
of a dozen or more picturesque looking
rurales, who steal upon the lone hunt
er or prospector in fine melodramatic
fashion. Then if his papers are not
in order to the letter it is a compare
lively easy matter with odds of six
to one to carry him off to prison.
But as an illustration of where the
odds are against the United States
Boundary Rider there is memorable
border incident to hand. A former
Boundary Rider had rounded up a
band of cattle smugglers and landed
two of the most desperate in his head
quarters at Campo, sixty miles from
the coast. Then came the question Of
taking them down to San Diego. To
march them afoot was not according
to custom, and moreover provocative
of rescue; yet to mount them was
to put a premium on the best means
Of escape Then a buggy was thought
of; but how to seat the prisoners with
regard to security was a problem. If
the Boundary Rider drove, it would
have been necessary for one cattle
smuggler to sit behind, which would
not do at all. If both were placed in
front, they might conspire to make
dash for liberty at the first likely
chance.
Finally the Boundary Rider decided
to intrust one of the cattle smugglers
with the reins, while he kept watch
over the other on the seat behind.

says about me-" grinned the Boundary

says about me-" grinned the Boundary
Rider.
Thereupon the captor backed the
wagon load of contraband Celestials
to the clump of sycamores where he
had left his horse, and with precau-
lions not to be taken by surprise
swung into the saddle. Then, tossing
the reins to the driver, he ordered
him to move ahead on the trip down
to San Diego.
