Presently in the midst Of his 10Y

What a scene It wasl There were
mountains everywhere-a great ST.
lenC brotherhood of peaks and
ridges, marvelously white in all
their ermine raiment, against
sky of the deepest, clearest blue.
There was snow on snow In al the
panorama Of inmensity. In the
cavernous ravines, IN vaIley-like
depressions, on prodigious shouI-
ders and rock-thewed pinnacles, it
lay in a blanket fathorns deep,
nodded smoothly over everything.
There was snow enough to build a
planet, and down on sll the daz-
Szling world the sun was shining in
splendor, but seemingly without a
ray of heat, although the spring
was well advanced.
The railroad track was lost. As
if through virgin soil as white as
chalk, the long, slender train was
scoring a furrow. Three black
locomotives, putting IN ell their lust
of strength and f1ingiDg forth vol
luminous clouds of smoke, were
driving the snow plow with a
force that appeared irresistible.
The pillow itself was like the sharp
eneo beak Of a ship. From either
side of its knife-edge PROV the
snow was being hurled In q curv-
ing torrent that fell as much as
thirty feet away.
The task Of ramming through
the drifts was fraught with its un-
certainties and its perils; yet with
In the cars the passengers were
hardly aware of all that was tax

there was only one who thorough
ly enjoyed the experience. This
one appreciative traveller was a
bright-faced, brown-eyed boy Of

winsome, whose friends were num-
bered from the last trailing coach
to the engines out in front.

came as the climax to Governor Buch-

work has actually begun on the road
that Is to link Denver with Seattle and

a group OF cowboys from the stock
yards ranged themselves on their pom

two huge banners, bearing the enthu-

New Cattle Trail from the Northwest
to Denver" and THE Stockyards
Bunch Wants in on This" On the plat
form of the speakers, stockholders in
the new road, committees represent
ing the commercial organization OF
Denver, and other prominent men
from the middle west gathered to
show the substantial interest which
they take in the new enterprise.
Governor Buchtel was the first
speaker. In view of the way in which
the state is growing, the governor pre-
dicted that by the time the Denver,
Laramie and Northwestern reaches
Laramie, all three roads to that part
OF the country will have more business
than they can handle.

TOOK HIS OWN FROM RossER
How Pilgrim Got Back His Stolen
Purse In Church.

From Czenstochowa, the Mecca Of
Polish pilgrims. comes an amazing
story of condolences. A pilgrim went
to one of the priests and complained
that some thief had stolen his purse
while he was in church, and asked for
money. The priest replied that he
had no money and that the best thing
for the pilgrim to do was to try to
find the thief. Il shall go into the
church and steal money from some
body else" said the pilgrim. "for ]
have nothing to go home with" He
went into the church and seeing a
man in the crowd with a wallet on his
back slipped his hand into it and
pulled out his own stolen purse, with
the exact sum he had left in it. He
was SO glad to find his money that he
hurried off to tell the priest and the
thief got away.
