Dear Sir:
The poetry in the Peoples Column
Of your Journal of January %
may be found in the Pictorial
Reader book Of long ago published
in Maine. The said reader also has 0
prose account of The Snow Storm.
Both prose and poetry are interesting
but untrue in most essentials. The
prose has it that both husband and wife
persisted in the storm. In the winter
Of 1921 Harrison Blake with horse and
sleigh, wife and babe started late one
afternoon from Arlington 10 cross the
mountain 10 his home in Newfane
Between the last inhabitants on the
west side of the mountain and Torrey's
tavern the first house on his way on
the east side were the Mine Mile
Woods" an unbroken primeval forest.
The snow there as now and always,
was deeper and deeper every step OF
the way and when he had a little pass
ed the summit his horse was tired out
and unable TO be urged further. He
was then about three miles from Tor.
rey's. II was might, more dark from
the dense woods on either side OF his
way and was cold and stormy. He
was in bad pinch. He wrapped his
oyercoat about his wife and babe. Poor
woman. II she hadn't lost her head
she too might have looked up in the
faces of her rescurers and "sweetly
smiled" Blake took his only chance,
widowed onward for assistance. he
broke limb from tree and kept put
ting il before him in the snow and
drawing himself up TO it. He worked
his way over to about three-fourths OF
mile Of the Deerfeld river. But he
hadn't forgotten on his way to yell
nightly. The goodness of his lungs
saved him and his babe that 'sweetly
smiled" He was heard. Levi Hale
who lived off the road, but nearer the
mountain then Torrey's. was up and
out about two o'clock in the morning
on account Of sick wife. AT break Of
day he started for doctor, stopped at
Torrey's and said he had heard noise
on the mountain, but didn't know if it
was OF some wild animal or human
being. a neighbor, Timothy Richard
son, was known 10 be over the noun
tain. He wasn't prohibitionist and
Hale said; IF that was Uncle Tim,
rum, will be cheaper" Uncle Tim had
two boys, johnson and George. smart
as traps with two springs, and when
the heard what Hale said the snow
didn't melt under their boots-it didn't
have time. They got others and went
for the mountain. -Four of them took
Blake, two at time, on their shoulders
and carried him TO Torrey's. He was
speechless but made his rescurers un-
derstand by pointing that there were
others further on. Others Of the party
found Mrs. Blake's dead body some 40
or 60 rods east Of the second consider
able turn east Of the summit in the
road now travelled. Crazed, she had
lost her head and life in following her
husband. A short distance further on
they found laid in the snow what APP
peaed to be a bundle Of clothing, but

and smiled. Blake and babe were
cared for at Torrey's till he was able to
go home. He lived some years after
and his babe in due time became Mrs.
Ezra Dean and diedin Cleveland. Ohio,

In case Of burns death may be due,
first, to asphyxia; second, to shock.

eral condition. while the whole success
In preventing the third depends upon
the immediate local treatment. 1t Is
therefore the last condition which must
be considered here. Among the public
it is q generally accepted idea that the
thing to do In the case Of burn is to

oil, and, indeed. even In some cOmpar-

America the constitution drawn by

ed at Plymouth Rock that the genuine
seeds OF success were planted upon
this soil, and that colony vas not com,
munistic in character. Lands were
parceled out and each individual was
given the fruits of his labor.
Competition may be hell" As the
editor of the Herald puts it, but 1t fire.
quently takes hell to bring out the
best there is in the race. Competition
runs all the way through the animal
and even the vegetable kingdom. The
giant oak o~vershadows the smaller
trees and shrubs in the coarse of
growth and they cease to exist. 1t is
the survival of the ittest. 1t is SO in
the human family, and even in tho
body of the individual. Incessant la
Dor, constant use, is the price of ad
vancement, and even life itself. If we
cease to use a limb, it Immediately
falls behind in the competition for the
blood of the body and begins to wither
and to die. The school child that fails
to compete with his fellows drops be-
hind in the race of life and does not
give to humanity the best there is in
him. 1t is the pride Of excellence, the
keen desire to excel above others, that
makes the great men of the eartn.
Competition is what makes men tower
over their fellows in strength of mind
and body. They work and struggle
that they may rise above m~ediocrity
and that they may not be on a dead
level with the rest of humanity.
Take away this incentive, were it
possible, and there would at once begin
a leveling down instead of a building
up. Take away the reward of com
petition and there would be little left
in this life to polish the brains of the
truly great men of the earth and hu,
manity would seek lower and lower
levels.
The hell of competition really brings
the heaven of happiness to the strong
men of the earth. Give us the keen,
active competition of the world of to-
day rather than the dead calm promis.
ed by socialism.
1t is very gratifying to note the keen
manner in which Editor McCandless
has pictured the hipocracy of the Lead
err and other papers of its ilk.

Louisville Youth Tied to Tombstone In
Cemetery at Terry Haute.

Louisville, Ky, Jan. 14.-Edwa-d
KEEPER, who died yesterday at San An
tonic, was the son of a prosperous
Louisville merchant. The hazing
which is alleged to have brought on
the fatal illness occurred at Rose Poly
technic institute, Terre Haute, Ind,
in the automn of 1906. KEEPER at the
time had been a member of the fresh
man class at the institute about a
month. His Don was entered by up.
per classmen, who blindfolded him, led
him to a cemetery and tied him secure.
ly to a tombstone. He remained in
that position from midnight until
morning. An attack of typhoid fever,
from which he passed into the clutches
of tuberculosis, followed. He did not
tell his parents of the hazing until
some time after he had been brought
home. Doctors declared the exposure
n shock had s~uperinduced his illness.

RELIEVES In FIVE MINUTES
Help Comes Quickly When Hyomei i:
Used for Catarrh.

The quick relief that comes from the
Hyomei treatment for catarrh is most
remarkable. Put a few drops of liquid
Hyomei in the little pocket inhaler
that comes with every outfit, and be-
fore you have used the treatment for
five minutes you will notice relief from
your catarrhal troubles.
1t gives a tonic healing effect to the
air you breathe, kills all catarrhal
germs, stops the poisonous secretions,
and soothes the irritated mucous men,
brane.
Hyomei will destroy all disease
germs in the nose, throat and lungs
and make a quick and permanent cure
of catarrh. So strong is A. H. Cordin-
er's belief in the power of Hyomei to
cure all catarrhal troubles hat with
every s1.00 outfit he gives a guarantee
to refund the money unless the remedy
gives satisfaction.
