RUNNING Water Frozen.

Running water is usually the last
the cold must be extreme. j. Claude
White in the Wide World Magazine
gives the following description of this
very rare conference.-the freezing Of a
mountain torrent in single night:
The phenomenon was one that
have never before experienced-a run
ming river frozen solid in a night!
When we arrived the waters of this
stream. tumbling over the great bowl
ders and rushing through the tortu-
Gus channels. made a deafening roar.
Gradually. but almost imperceptibly,
the tumult decreased. while. worn out
after hard day, we fell asleep.
A few hours later. when we awoke.
a deathly silence prevailed. and on
looking out. to my intense surprise
found that the rushing torrent Of the
previous night had been transformed
into a solid mass Of ice. In this re-
gion of extreme temperatures 1 had
on other occasions seen torrents fro
zen. but never under such startling
conditions. On looking round we found
that everything we possessed was also
frozen solid. including our saddle OF
mutton. which was merely block Of
ice. We were ravenous, but we got
no satisfaction from gnawing at Jumps
of rock which ought to have been a
succulent joint. and so. despite our
hunger. we had to content ourselves
with a little tea-to make which we
melted ice-and few biscuits.

rigid economy that she had practiced
during the last years of her residence
in the old home. She couldn't tell how
good the hot, substantial food tasted
after the months Of cold bread and
coffee; of how Mrs. KendalPs savory
made her feel as if she had feasted
royalty when contrasted to the butter
less bread and meatless hashes on
which she had dined for over year.
To be sure, there had been cut glass
and silver on the table. But these Miss
allowed sold, so that the two lonely
women, the last cent of their income
swallowed up by bad investments, had
seWed little for intimate friends who
would not tell. and had thus managed
to keep up the appearance of gentility.
But when old Mrs Estabrook died it
all had to come out. Everybody In
Twining Town knew at last that Miss
Millicent, whose family had for gener-
atoms lorded it over the surrounding
country, was left without penny and
except for the kindness Of her old
servant, Sarah Kendall, would have

Of the town.
Miss Millicent bore her misfortunes
with seeming calmness. 1t was so
good to be filed once more with food,
to sit by Sarah's warm Preside in
stead of shivering over few Goals in
the great bare drawing room, that the
little lady forgot pride. forgot every
thing but that she was comfortable.
She sewed for Sarah's seven chill
dren and earned her place in the
household.
But Mr. Kendall grumbled. 1t was
an extra mouth, he kept insisting.
Its an extra help. too," Sarah told
him. with flashing eyes. "You don't
think how much her sewing lifts OF
me-"
Miss Millicent was not blind to Ken
dall's attitude. But she endured pa
tiently. for Sarah's loyalty and the
love of the little children made up for
many things. But the time came when
even Sarah could not protect her from
Amos crossness.
Its hard enough to earn living

day night as he came in with a heaped
up basket of provisions. Seven
mouths to feed and one extra-it's
enough to make man break down
and butter at 80 cents.''
Sarah flashed an anxious glance at
Miss Millicent. but the little lady went
on sewing calmly. and the good wo-
man sighed with relief.
But Miss Milicent had heard, and
that night when she went to her little
room. high up in the caves. she took
from it's hiding place the one treasure
left to her out of the wreck OF her
fortune.
1t was the pearl ring that John IRE

MOVING DAY ArTaE NORTH POLE

Confusion reigns In Porlarland,
Where Santa Claus holds sway;
A hundred thousand million toys
Are boxed to send away,
And Mrs. Claus and Santa too
Are worried half to death
And have no time to eat or sleep,
And scarce to draw their breath,
While all the children cry and sqall
And All the air with woe,
For mortal men have reached the Pole
And Santa has to 60.
The factory Is miles around,
And made Of hardened snow,
And all OF Santa's helpers there
Are little Esqutmaux,
Who paste and cut and saw
To make hobby horse, q sled,
A book, a game, q Teddy bear,
A little dolly's bed.
They see to work 80 skillful1v
Throughout the Arctic nights
Because the place is all equipped
With patent Northern Lights"
Now, strange as It may seem to you,
Poor Santa Claus is shy,
Ard so' is Mrs. Santa Claus-
I'm sure can't tell why,
So. though they love the children well
And like to see them play,
When grOwn.ups come too near them
The Clauses move away.
And a. there is no spot on earth
Where men can never 90,
Planet. Mars will be che future home
Of"tlaus & Co."
But though he SOON will live on Mars
Up In the sky 81 hlue,
To children whom he loves on earth
Old FaIta will be true;
And when next Christmas comes
He surely will appear,
Though in an airsh p he will ride,
Instead OF sledge and deer.
He'll leave his presents and be gone
Before the peep OF light,
To bring good cheer to little ones
And 'uake their Christmas bright.
