THREE-FooT SNOW IN APRIL.
Ex-Sheriff Rosser Tells of Bitter En-
pericnce He Had in 1889.

Luray, Va, April 15.-Ex-Sheriff
w. NJ. Rosser says that on Saturday,
April G, 1889, "a years ago last Sun
day, he and the late ISAIAH Printz,
started in a conveyance over the ridge
from Marksville, in Page, to Orig
lersville, Madison county, and nearly
lost their lives in three-foot snow
on the Blue Ridge. This depth Of
snow fell during the cay and seemed
to come down almost in a mass. At
first it was warm and damp, which
made the snow very heavy. The
horse was barely able to move, stop
ping every few steps. The travel
ers were soon wet with perspiration.
Then it became bitterly cold and they
nearly froze. After long weary day
of privation and suffering they sue
coded in climbing the mountain,and
reaching John Caves home, just over
the summit. On the following day
they were able to start out again,
but so clogged were the roads that
their exhausted horse made only nine
miles in nine hours. Al the same time
there was only eleven inches of snow
in the Page Valley and no snow at all
down in the Madison flat lands.

Little Fibs and White Lies
on a Par With Petty
Larceny

The friend could refuse abso-
lutely to give testimony and
prove his devotion to his COM
rade by going to jail for con-
tempt of court.
The writer of this article has
an intense admiration for truth
fulness and an equally intense
adherence of lies. Little fibs
and the white lies seem on a par
with petty larceny.
There are people who claim
they steal to save those they
love from hunger But there
is always some other way open.
Were human being to go from
door to door saying: "One l
love is dying from starvation or
lack of care; give me food and
money for Gods saker' there is
no street in any land on earth
where all doors would be closed
and assistance refused.
Yet men have broken into
houses and robbed the inmates
and killed their fellow beings
when put at bay. claiming their )
actions were forced by actual
need.
1t is indeed a terrible thing to
be forced to beg. But theft is
more ignoble act than begging.
There Is always a way to avoid
theft.
There is always some way to
avoid lie, even when speaking
the truth is to seemingly
harm a friend.
1t is far more courageous to
say:
Il know my friend is innocent;
and refuse to state facts which
might seem to incriminate him.
Therefore I declare myself
guilty of contempt of court"
Beautiful as is the truth, ST.
lence should sometimes take the
place Of the spoken truth.
Truthfulness loses half its
charm when coupled with vul-
garity and lack of tact and kind
liness.
