WINTER IS NOT DREARY.

Winter is not dreary season, ex-
cept to people with dreary souls. II
has scenes Of picturesque beauty and
startling magnifcence that challenge
comparison with any of the glories
OF Sprin Summer or Autumn Take
for example, bright, sunny morn
ing in the country, after one OF those
soft snow storms. that drape with
their tenacious crystals the branches
OF the trees. Can the Imagination
picture anything more beautiful than
the virgin foliage with which the
clouds In single night have clothed
the naked woods? The neighboring
thickets. too, are huns with wreathes
and clusters of shining white, and
even the brush heap by the woodpile
seems covered with poisoning gar
lands, and the plumy glories of the
orchard, and the door-yard trees are
almost too dazzling TO look upon.
Can the growing season of Spring
match this spectacle of light and
beauty. gotten up in aSfew hours.
But the results of an ice-storm are
still more glorious. Who that has
strolled through the prismatic bow
ers of forest hung with ice-gems,
every twig adorned with sparkling
jewels; light of every color gllnting
from above, win ever forget the
scene. There is no creation of en-
chantment described in Oriental
story that would not sink into moth
lngness beside such an exhibition of
the wizardry of nature.
And shall We call the season that
produces such phenomena dreary
season. No. never. Rather let us
ook on the bright side of life; bask !
IN the beauties of nature. at all sea-
sons. and be happy.

II has grown into custom In our
state TO take UP the subject OF the fire
waste Immediately after the extra
number Of disasters which always &C.
cur Just prior and during the hell
days, work II over time for a period
and then drop il for the balance OF
the year. II It to be hoped that the
year 1911 will prove an exception to
the rule. 1t is only a repetition Of
words TO say that the fire waste in
this country constitutes one Of the
most serious problems. The FIRE com
panies have for years been very
much in earnest in their efforts to
remedy this matter. but up to this
time have succeeded in making but
very little impression upon those in
authority in the larger cities and the
insuring public in general, who pay
the freight. From time to time some
of the dailies touch on this problem
but they do not do it often enough,
nor strong enough. Most OF them are
too eager TO get back into the old
game of abusing the companies for
excessive rates.
We quote the following from the
Greensboro Daily News on the sub
ject OF the country's fire waste; "Just
about every large city in this coun-
try has had its big fire. Disastrous
conflagrations are not a new thing
In American municipal history, Re-
Gently the terrible fires in Chicago
and Philadelphia have called more
serious attention 10 the country's
heavy annual loss from this source
because in those fires so many val
liable lives were sacrificed. Fire ex-
perts are using these disasters for
further exhortations regarding the
necessity Of better construction and
better fire regulation.

everlasting PERSISTENCE to educate the
people TO the knowledge that indif-
ference and carelessness in this mat
