Big stock Losses In Montana.

BUTTE. MONT, Feb, s. Kon
Kohrs OF Deer Lodge. one of tho most
prominent stockmen OF the state, 10 in
Butte and states that he is in receipt
OF advices ). from the northern ranges
that his stock losses will reach about 80
per cent OF his herds, so fierce is the
storm that is sweeping the northern dis.
tricts OF Montana. Mr.. kohrs says the
conditions in Valley country and the
other big cattle and sheep sections is
simply appalling, the stock dying by
the hundreds.
The long plains OF Northern Montana
afford the stock little shelter from the
stinging sweep of the snow and wind.
Unable to break the crust OF ice COW
ering the grass of the ranges, the cat
tie and sheep huddle in bunches OF
from 80 to 100 in the coulees, there to
drop OF exhaustion and hunger, and die.
Bunches OF dead cattle stop the
drifting snow, which soon buries them
completely, with the exception OF an oc-
casional protrudng leg or head. These
burial mounds of snow frequently dot
the ranges and only too plainly indicate
how fesrfully the herds are being raw
aged by the terrific weather prevailing.

CANADA'S CHRISTMAS STAMP.
The Only Known Postal Memorial of
the December Holiday.

Stamp collectors say that the great
est Christmas gift ever made was Il
postage stamp of the value of cents.
On Christmas. 1S9S Great Britain pre-
sented to all her thirty colonies
Il Christmas gift in the form of two
cent letter postage in place of the rate
of cents, which for decades had eX-
listed
In honor of this event Canada placed
on sale on Christmas morning, 1898,
Christmas postage stamp, the only
stamp of the kind ever issued by any
country. In many respects it is unique
among all postage stamps.
1t was larger than our Columbian
stamps and showed a map of the world
with the possessions of the British en-
pire printed in bright scarlet. The
oceans appeared III blush green and
the frame of the design in black.
Across the top was the inscription
Canada Postage" with a crown rest
ing on laurel leaves tucked in between
the words. At the extreme lower part
of the design is the declaration, 1--WE
hold q yaster empire than has been;"
above this. Xmas, 1895" and a figure
80" in each lower corner.
1t is worthy of note that this Cana
dian stamp was printed by Il bank
note company in the United States. 1t
marked a new epoch in stamp produc-
tion, having three colors. Bicolored
stamps are not uncommon, but up to
that time no country had ever attempt
ed three color stamp.
This Christmas stamp was probably
the most expensive ever issued, cost
ing the Canadian government four
times as much as the ordinary single
color stamp. Although issued on Christ
mas, 1898, the stamps availability for
postage uses is unlimited.-New York

Her Little PRAYER.

Former Comptroller Edward NJ.
Grout of New York city tells n pretty
little Christmas story.
He said that little girl relative of
his was visiting her grandmother on
Thanksgiving day. Already the child
had begun to speculate on what Santa
Claus was to bring her at Christmas
time, and, as children-especlally girls
will do when they are at the home
of an indulgent friend, she began to
rummage through closets and drawers.
In the course of her investigation
she came upon Il brand new white muff
1t was the very thing she had wanted,
and she knew that Santa Claus chief
purchasing agent-grandma-h OBJ
tanned it for her.
Taxed with it, grandma admitted the
truth.
But she said, you must forget all
about it until Christmas day"
That night as she was being put to
bed the child astonished her mother by
adding this to her evening prayer:
please, God, make me forget all
about the little white muff Santa Claus
is to bring. New York Times.

THE PRESIDENTS CHRISTMAS
How the Big and Little Roosevelts
Celebrated Last Year.

President and Mrs Roosevelt had
only the immediate members of their
family to celebrate Christmas. Just
before going to bed on Christmas eve
the children hung their stockings in
the presidents room, and bright and
early the next morning they were up
to claim their prizes. Everything that
was ever designed for Il Christmas
stocking found a place in the line that
hung from the mantel, and when the
boys awakened there was q merry
scramble to see just what was inside.
After breakfast the president, Mrs.
Roosevelt and the children went to the
library to exchange presents too big
for the stocking.
Each member of the family had
special corner for his or her gifts, and
there were any number of mysterious
little parcels to be opened. This very
pleasant little ceremony took the en-
tire morning
After this the president walked to
his church, Grace Reformed, and the
rest of the family went to st. Johns
Episcopal church.
In the afternoon the president, Mrs.
Roosevelt and the children went over
to the home of Captain and Mrs. VIII
liam Sheffield Cowles, where they al
ways spend Christmas afternoon and
where there is always n tree for the
Roosevelt and Cowles children They
We're Joined there by Representative
and Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, and n
little family reunion was held
After the visit to the Cowles the
president played tennis with his sons
AT night was given the Christmas
dinner in the private dining room
Among the few invited guests were
Senator Lodge, DR.. Rixey and family
and Mr.. and Mrs. Longworth The

about tea, and she felt better after
drinking it. Altogether she was in
quite a cheerful mood when the little
daughter of her landlord came to wish
her a merry Christmas and bring an
invitation from her mother to eat her
Christmas dinner with them. Dinner
would be at half past 2. Miss Acker-
mann thanked them very much and
would dine with them with pleasure
Then she gave the little girl the pres
ent she had ready for her, stylish
young lady doll dressed in the latest
fashion, with coat and hat complete, a
gift which made its recipient radiant.
and sent her off to exhibit it at once.
The sermon Gods Christmas Gifts"
from the text wait upon the Lord,
and he shall give thee the desire Of
thy heart" made her homesick again,
the desire of her heart seemed so ex-
ceedingly far off. Miss Ackermann
was not one Of those who forget hard
as she had tried not to remember She
found her thought straying back ten
years to the seaside, to her old home
and Jack. Their parents were neigh
bors. Her father and mother lived in
the little fishing town and took board
ers in the season. His father was the
farmer who supplied them with vege-
tables and fruit. Jack drove the wagon
which brought the daily supply TO the
cottages. They would have known
each other in any case, but the morn

great misfortune happened-her moth

would have no one but her wait upon
him. To complete the roll of disaster
her brother suddenly brought home as
his wife a girl whom none of his
friends would have chosen. and the
old man would not let his daughter-in-
law come near him. To tell the truth,
she had no desire to help Miss Acker-
mann in her duties. She had married
for step up and said plainly that she
did not mean to slave to please any
body.
