The Blizzard Of 1888.

time Of the great blizzard In 1888"
said a Nebraskan, land had just left
the office to 60 home for dinner when
the blizzard struck. started to cross
the street to q drug store, but when !
reached the other side found myself
halfway down the block from my de-
tination. The fine wind driven snow
fakes filled the air so that couldn't
see my hand before me. / finally work
ed my way back to the drug store,
where q number of other men had
taken refuge from the storm. School
had lust been dismissed for the noon
recess. and we knew that nearly 300
children were out in the storm. Sc
curing long ropes, the crowd started
out to rescue them. We found them
huddled In doorways and by the sides
of buildings. The children caught hold
of the ropes and were led to shelter by
their rescuers, whose sense OF direc-
tion gradually returned to them. Every
one of the 800 school children in the
town was got home in safety. But
seven schoolteachers were frozen to
death In the country during the bliz-
gard and thousands Of cattle died. The
thermometer fell from about the frcez'
ing point at noon to 20 degrees below
zero that;night. 1t was the worst biz
card ever saw, and never want to
experience another like it, Des

A gamekeeper on a northern estate
tells an amusing story of the latest
thing In the compensation line. When
he was escorting the gentlemen round
the coverts one day the party were
alarmed to hear loud cry just after
shots had been fred. Running to the
spot, thick bush growth, the keeper
found man lying grooming on the
ground.
"SOme Of them gents 'aye'shot me IN
the leg" groaned the man.
Examination proved that the sufferer
had indeed received bird shot pellet
in his left calf. 1t was q trivial In
jury, but was handsomely cOmpensat-
ed for by the gentlemen in the party,
who presented the victim with quite
good sum In gold.
That same evening the gamekeeper
came upon two men in quiet lane en-
gagged In n hot dispute about the shar-
ing of some money. One Of the men
had shotgun, and. tapping 1t signif-
cantly, he said threateningly: "'Alf
shares, or I'll go straight to the p'lice
and split Oil US both. I'll give the
game away. I'll tell 'em 'ow l put that
pill in yer leg to knock money out O.

Then the gamekeeper disclosed him
self, and the two conspirators decamp-

Leak IN Psrryhsat.
One morning In January, when the
ice In the Hudson river ran unusually
heavy, a sHoboken ferryboat slowly
her way through the floating
foes until the thickness of the pack
choked her paddles in midriver. 1t was
an early morning trip. and the decks
were crowded with laboring men and
the driveways choked with teams. The
women and children standing inside
the cabins were solid mass up to the
swinging doors. While she was gath
ering strength for further effort an
ocean tug sheered to avoid her, veered
a point and crashed into her side. cut
ting her below the water line In
great v shaped gash. A moment mere
and the disabled boat careened from
the shock and fell over on her beam.
helpless. Into the V shaped cash the
water poured torrent. 1t seemed but
question of minutes before she would
lunge headiong below the ice.
Within 200 yards of both boats and
free Of the heavy Ice steamed the
wrecking tug Reliance Of the Of
shore Wreeking company. and Oh her
dock forward stood Captain Scott.
When the ocean tug reversed her en-
gines after the collision and backed
clear Of the shattered wheelhouse OF
the ferryboat he sprang forward. stoop-
ed down, run his eye along the water
line, noted In a fash every shattered
plank, climbed into the pilothouse OF
his own boat and before the astonish-
cd pilot could catch his breath pushed
the nose of the Reliance along the rail-
of the ferryboat and dropped upon the
latter's deck like a cat.
With a threat to throw overheard
any man who stirred he dropped Into
the engine room, met the engineer half
way up the ladder, compelled him to
return, dragged the mattresses from
the crews hunks, stripped of blankets
and snatched up clothes, oyeralls. cot

the tugs cutwater.
1t was useless. Little by little the
water gained, bursting out first below.
then on one side. only to be caiked out
again and only to rush in once more.
Captain Scott stood moment as IL
undecided, ran bis eye searchlngiy over
the engine room, saw that for his needs
1t was empty, then deliberately tore
down the top wall calking he had so
carefully built up and before the en-
glneer could protest forced his own
body into the gap. with his arm outside
level with the drifting ice.
An hour later the disabled ferry
