does not argue their non-existence
but only our dead condition. Those
who see them are the prophets, the

and leadership. Christ was just a.

What the Snow Told !
By ALICE E. ALIEN.

Many jolly things happened that
winter up on the farmf But best OF
all, David and Philip agreed, was the
big blizzard.
The storm began at night. The
snow came down in sheets. Behind 1t
came the wind, driving it against the
windows and heaping 1t in great
drifts around the house. Next morning
there were no paths, no roads, and
no fences. David and Philip tried one
window after another, but all they
could see was snow. David thought
he could see the wind, there was so
much of it everywhere. And, If he
could, why of course Philip could too.
When darkness came, everything
grew quiet. Through the window near
his bed big bright star winked and
blinked straight at David. And another
star. almost as big and bright, hur-
ried out and winked and blinked
straight at Philip.
Sure enough, next morning the
storm was over. And what changed
world David and Philip found outside!
A wonderful white world, crisp and
cracking with cold, and dazzling with
sparkles, es,-snow-sparkles, sky-sparkles,
and air-sparkles.
Old John harnessed Sampson to the
big iron kettle and started out to
break roads, He walked behind in
the track of the kettle, and in the
kettle, looking like a couple of mis-
chievous brownies, rode David and
Philip.
After that, old John and David
and Philip made paths to the barn and
the chicken-house. Old John pointed
out some clear, sharp tracks in the
snow around the chicken-house. Been
fox round" he said. See how the
snow went and told on him?"
Here's where he leaped the fence,
isn't it," cried David in great ex-
citement. He pointed to long line Of
footprints leading, fleet as the wind,
over the hill toward the woods.
"My-ee, wasn't he in a hurry
thought" @
Guess he heard old Towser bark
down to Browns farm" said John.
II did,"
$50 did l." said David.
+" N so did T." said Philip.
20 John, here are some more foot
! prints" called David a minute later.
They look most like some of the
stitches mother makes in~ her en-
broidery"
"Ask the field mouse about 'em," !"
said old John. "She's been out maxim
calls on her neighbors, and the SHOWS
told on her. If you could get nearer
the woods, you'd see where the gray
rabbits been hoppin' along looking
| up some breakfast,-the marks of his
hind feet ahead of the fore feet every
single hop. Maybe the squirrels been
out too. II he has, the snow'll tell
Iabout IT,
"What lots of stories the snow1tells,
doesn't it, John?" said David. His eyes
were fixed wistfully on the woods, Tar
off, dark, and quiet against the bright
sky.
:"You'd ought to see partridge track
once" said old John. That's traci
for you!"
Where. could l, Joln?' asked Da
vid, eagerly.
| Old John waved his hand in the
direction Of the woods. ''They keep tt
the woods mostly" he said.
Between mouthfuls of currant jan
md bread and butter. that night Da
lid asked, Aunt Eunice, how big is &
partridge track?"
BLESS the boy" cried Eunice peer

SUPPOSE.

Suppose your mind garden were.
All ready for the spring,
And everything you planted there
Would soon be blossoming.
Suppose that evil thoughts were weeds
That rankly grew apace,
And every dream of selfish deeoSJ
Should blossom in disgrace;
While every impulse to be KIND,
To ease some others woes,
Should bud, and blossom In your mlno
A fair and fragrant rose.
Suppose that every idle whim,
And every thought of scorn.
Should find its fruitage in a grim
And poison-laden thorn;
While every purpose of uplift
Your soul from sordid ways -
Should blossom in a snoW-Whlte orllt
OF tender nly-sprays.
'Tis surely with no danger fraught
Supposing things like this
And maybe here's a seed OF thougnt
TO flower forth in bliss.

LUXURIOUS oMNiBusEs.
Elegant Public Vehicles That Ira
verse Certain London Streets.


verse Certain London Streets.
Years ago favorite means OF
transportation in New York City was
the omnibus line on Broadway. It
was superseded later by street cars.
which at first were drawn by horses.
Later an underground cable was en-
ployed to haul them, and now for
long time electricity has supplied the
necessary power. After the bus SER
vice on Broadway ceased it was con-
tinued on another street here-Fifth
avenue.
An omnibus has two advantages, at
least, of not more. It can swing from
one side of the street to the other,
as occasion may require, and even
turn off to another street. The rail-
way car, on the other hand, must
stick to the rails. If there should be
an obstruction on the track the cars
must come to standstill until it is
removed When cars displaced omnf-
buses on Broadway it was predicted
that SO many blockades would result
in what is really the busiest street
! in town that people would get tired
OF the new system and ask for a res
toration of the old. The prediction
was not fulfilled, because Broadway
is pretty wide thoroughfare and
keep heavy wagons out of the way OF
the cars. Besides, the greater capa-
city of the cars, as compared with
the omnibuses, and the higher speed
which they developed made them ex-
tremely popular and more remunera-
tive than their predecessors.
In several foreign cities, where rath-
er slow progress has been made with
the Introduction of electric lines, om-
nibuses still continue in favor. From
their tops a fine view of the region
through which they run can be had.
Ii person is newcomer and wants
to learn what he can about the
streets, and if, furthermore, he can
spare the time, a seat on top of an
omnibus will suit him better than
anything else. The ordinary omnibus.
however, is a humble-not to say an
mfortable-vehicle, and is drawn
by horses. But an Improvement on
the old style is being tried in certain
parts Of London. A few buses there
are being run with gasolene engines.
like automobiles. They are elegantly
upholstered, too, and have chairs re-
sembling those of an American Pull
man coach. To render the service
more attractive, the driver and con-
ductor wear livery. The fare is six
pence, or IL cents in American mon
ey. This is less than person would
pay If he hired cab, but more than
is demanded for ride in the palmer
omnibuses. The Pullman motor
cars" as they are called, run in only
a few fevored localities, but are SO
luxurious as to invite liberal patron
/ age from those who can afford it,
