DEFINITION OF A BLIZZARD.

Every scholar was wearing his

beaming brightly. And the teach
er's eyes watched grimly lest one
small slip should spoil the record of
her class, for it was the annual in
Epection, and the fierce looking man
who called himself inspector was

one. And still silence reigned. The
teacher glanced at the top boy, then
nodded to encourage him, and at

her eyes. Almost she wept. Slow

Farm school, near Philadelphia, of
which he is president. Pastoral pur-
suits, he says, Ire potent remedies
against the evils which grow out of
congestion in the parts of the cities
into which foreign immigrants drift.
The resources of the farm school are
limited, the dormitories accommo-
dating only eighty-fve students, and
for the purpose of charging the in
stitution and increasing its activities
DR.. Krauskopf asks all who are in

HIS ESCAPE FROM PRISON
Prince K%rapotkin's Release in Russia
Was l%ngeniously Conceived
and Carried Out.

In originality of conception and
ingenuity of execution, the escape Of
Prince Krapotkin from the prison
OF the Niko4aiey8k Military hospital
in st. Petersburg in 1876 probably
is unparalleled in prison annals.
Twelve cogspirators outside the pris-
on took part in it, but not one Of
them was ever arrested or suspected,
although many Of them were subse-
quently banished to Siberia for other
political olfcnses.
The escape was made in broad
daylight, about five o'clock in the
afternoon, in the presence Of three
armed soldiers, and with such novel
accessories as cherries, opera hats,
a louise, music, a black mare and a
microscope. The chances were at
least ten to one that it would fail,
Notwithstanding the extraordinary
ingenuity with which it was planned,
but every device and stratagem
worked perfectly, and the liberated
prisoner dincd that night in Demons
restaurant, the most fashionable in
st. Petersburg, while the entire po-
lice Of the capital were r~ansacking
the city in search Of him.
Nobody even imagined that he
would be shrewd and bold enough to
take his dinner in SO public a place,
and not a single detective looked for
him there, although search was made
in scores Of other places, and every
exit from the city was 50 carefully
guarded that a mouse could hardly
have crept through unobserved.-

Magazine.

ALONG CLASSIC N E

One Of the most perfect types Of
classic buildings in America, accord
ing to architects, has been built by
the United States government at
Denver, Colo, to be used as a post
office and to house the various fed
eral offices in that city with the ex-
ception of the mint, says Popular
Mechanics. The building is of pure
white marble from Colorado quarries
and is $40 feet long by $50 feet deep
and four stories in height. The style
is a type Of Roman architecture
adapted to modern conditions, and
the facades are regarded as notable
in the f%aithfulness of their classic
lines. On each of the longer sides
there are sixteen massive columns.
and on the shorter sides six columns.
Symbolic statuary is used in groups
and in single figures to relieve the
building of the severity of its gen.
eral outlines, the entire structure
giving an idea of simple beauty that
makes it a striking example Of public
building architecture.

WHY THEY WANTED A BANK
Matter Of Convenience That Led to
Demand for Establishment of
Financial Institution.

Harry L. Confer, chief clerk in
the bank department in the office Of
the auditor Of state, spent an hour
a few days ago trying to convince a
budding financier that the ordinary
village in Indiana cannot support
more than one bank properly, and
that demands for second banks in
such places could usually be traced
TO some purpose other than legiti-
mate banking.
"When | was in q bank in Elk
hart" he said, 81 was approached
one afternoon by a small merchant
on the South side, who asked if our
bank wouldn't consider a proposal to
establish a branch in his part of the
city. | told him that under the new
law we were not permitted to estab-
Lish branches, and asked him why he
was anxious to have a bank in his
neighborhood, whore there were only
small shops and good banks within
a dozen blocks.

NEW KIND OF RAILROAD HOG
He Attempts to Keep Two Seats So
AS to Be on Shady Side
of Car.

A man who frequently uses the in.

ports a new kind Of railroad hog. ,

hotel corner" he said, "and noticed
there was only one seat outside the
smoking compartment not occupied
by some person, and it had in it a
large suit case. In the aisle directly
across from the suit case was a fat
man who evidently did not belong
to this part Of the country and was
unacquainted with the geography.
81 moved the suit case to the aisle
and took the seat. After we had left
the city and started across the coun-
try the fat mar scowled at me,
picked up the suit case and, going
into the smoker, sat down in a va
can't seat on the same side of the
car where | was sitting, the shady
side.
Evidently he had tried to make
sure Of two seats, 50 as to be able
to select the one on the shady side
after the car had started on its cross
country route, but my removal of his
suit case had spoiled his plan"

THE TASK AT HAND.

The late Clara Barton, head of

A new and novel point was raised
in the circuit court here this week it
seems that the Board of Supervisors
at their January meeting r~eplenished
the jury boxes for both the first and
secons districts. 1t was claimed that
because the names we're selected al
Houston instead of at OhoIona the
whole were illegal. This contention
seems to be far fetched and out of
place in a court Of justice. There is
no excuse for lawyers raising such
points and running the county to ex.
penses. Many proceedings Of a like
unlmportant nature disgust the body
of the people and cause them to lose
respect for and confidence in the
courts.
