When the Blizzard Blows.

When old Boreas rides abroad is one time
when Nature really plays with man. His ef-
forts are set at naught, and the utmost Of his
endeavors are to find shelter from the fury OF
the storm. The mighty forces involved are part
Of the universal mechanism, set in motion by
the operation Of laws on which all being hangs.
Bot the blizzard lacks the majesty Of the sum-
mer storm, and holds little Of the tornado's ter
ror. II has no accompaniment of forked light
ming, tearing a midnight sky with jagged gashes
OF flame. and no peal of thunder cracks the dome
OF heaven to shatter timid nerves. The splendor
o. the blizzard is little appreciated by its be-
holders who have slight inclination for seek
ing out beauty while sustaining the buffets of
the roaring wind Yet the blizzard is not with
out its uses
In the wake OF the wind comes the promise
of clearer brighter winter weather with service
t, the soil that presages another season Of boun-
tiful crops No widespread suffering is entailed,
for man knows and makes provision against the
blast. while good will eventually come from
winters worst exhibition OF elemental energy
uncontrolled.

England,s Commercial Instinct.

The London Daily Mail presents an indict-
ment against the British government that ought
to STING. That paper presents proof to support
its statement that all kinds of foodstuff from
England reach Germany through Denmark.
When the British government seized meats con-
signed by American packers ito order" at Copen-
hagen and Stockholm. its pretext was that these
meats we're destined for enemy consumption. In
proof OF this. II submitted that statistics
evinced a far greater supply OF food entering the
Scandinavian countries than could be consumed
there. II was mildly insinuated. and Indignantly
denied, that the British cabinet sought to force
American shippers to land stuff at British ports
that II might be transshipped through British
agencies. and thus preserve the commerce OF the
kingdom Disclosures now made by the London
paper shows the commercial instinct of the Eng
lish tradesmen to be quite as keen as ever in
history. Sir Edward Grey is blamed, but the
strenuous endeavor to shut off traffic between
the United States and the Scandinavian ports is
now better understood

HAMPTON. Neb.. Jan. 12-To the
Editor of The Bee; What gets my goat
is why so many Germans and German
sympathizers stay in America IL they
think so much of the German cause? Why
don't they go over there and get some
of the sure-cure hardships which would
stop their knocking?
II Mr.. Arp were I'm Germany and would
say such things in the public press against
the kaiser he would be sent to prison.
The kaiser evidently did not realize
he had so many enemies at the beginning
OF this greatest OF worlds wars. and the
greater part of the world is against Ger
many and while it is trespassing on other
nations soil they all are fighting for
their fRtherland and yet boast about not
an enemy of the seven nations against
it being on its soil. Mr.. Arp explain this.
