The rose is red,
The violet is blue,
When the blizzard is sped
Shall we hike?
Sure Nike
If the trains get through.
The true philosophy: When hemmed
in on all sides by Boreas, keep cool.
Personal Mention.
The Resort colony were crazy with
curiosity over the arrival of a tall.
handsome, well dressed and well
groomed gentleman in spring gar
ments this morning. He spent the
morning drawing marvellous pictures.
Col. Knightly, the Pacific boniface,
gave it out that he was none other
than the great John T. McCutcheon
off from the Tribune for a little rest,
and Pacific means peace and rest. AS
the colonels veracity is never ques-
toned number of the younger social
set seized his crayon sketches with
avidity, Col. Mallory Shipley, how
ever, lowed as how he had a straight
tip that it was the artist, Leavitt,
whose distinguished wife is seeking
to sunder the ties of matrimony, and
he had just arrived from Paree on the
last train before train service took
vacation. AS he did not telegraph to
Ruth, although the railroad wires were
not busy with their own service, and
did not telephone to Col. Bryan, the Re-
sorters declare that Col. Shipley has
gwen them a bum steer. A man from
Sioux City who signs his name Smith
body including the Apostles and the
Disciples, says this man of mystery
is a dead ringer for Milt Gregg of
Perkinstown Later in the day he de-
voted himself to literature and while
resting his TRIBES on the top of
convenient register, an inviting posi-
ton, the Pacific young skeezix hung on
his back this injunction: Give me
a kick" But not even Ferguson bit.
Sig, j. S. De Forrest, the noted or
chestra leader and composer, and the
coming Savage of America, is regis
tered at the Pacific. He can fill his
lungs with Nebraska ozone and blow
it through the clarinet or piccalo fish
pole producing the most bewitching
symphonies. He also has four COM
panies on and came here to meet one
of his leading ladies who is to star in
his new play next season, entitled,
When Winter Skidoos."
Mrs. b. T. Barnes and two sons are
registered at the Pacific. Mrs. Barnes
comes from Rapid City, which as may
be imagined is not slow place, and
stopped off on her way to Vinton to
visit the wife of her husbands father.
She was so charmed with Norfolk as
winter resort that she decided to
stay for a few days. The resorters
were very much interested in a wise
looking pointer canine who is making
the trip with them. He has a family
history which would make most dogs
tremble with envy. His famous sires
have taken prizes in dog shows from
Boston to Borneo in the bench shows
and he has a nose for chicken that
would put to shame the most astute
Senegambian of the south Ferguson
discovered him in the office back Of
sighed for an acquaintanceship but
Mars-tor that is the name or the
watch dog of the Barnes household
was not in for being Ferg's mutton.
NJ. NJ. Frederick, the advance mis-
sionary of the fresh fruit trade, came
in from the north on business. He
was surprised to see the peaches and
oranges in bloom.
J. l.. Barrow of Salt Lake is one of
the distinguished guests. He halls
from Salt Lake City where the big
tabernacle is and where the acoustics
are so fine that you can hear even a
pin drop, Norfolk, however, has as
famous a play house in this respect.
One evening its acoustics were tested
by the manager, who went on the
stage and dropped a pin. 1t was heard
as plainly in every part of the house
