NIT of the Blue mountains, there is
about five feet of snow and the O.-W.

continuously in order to keep the
road open. AS it is trains from the
east are from three to fifteen hours
late largely on account of SHOWS in

Should a windstorm come, there is
danger of a blockade as the snow is
so light that it will drift easily.
The stockmen have their stock well
sheltered and on dry feed. Farmers
see no reason to complain of the snow
as it has fallen on ground that is but
little frozen.

Some closely-creeping. memoried thing

Some gift which turns in the hour Of care
To an altar white for my mounting prayer.

Like morning in a garden place;
Give Faith that win find star
Shining still where the storm clouds are;
Give Vision that the years

Give me an open welcoming hand
That all the Brothers may understand;
Give me heart grown wise to know
What once it knew in the long ago.
That the simple joys of the common day.
The sunshine spread on the common way
The birds that sing and the flowers that shine
And the hearts that love the things divine.
Give me a life made glad and sweet
BY human toll in the dust and heat
That still finds time for an hour Of fun
On the faery paths where the roses run;
A life so blessed that the children say
They find me worthy to share their play
And best of all my Christmas tree
May some friends hang their hearts for me.

 What we saw on the French front is simply magnificent.

VETS AND DRYS BREAK EVEN ON
 ILLINOIS VOTES
Little Advantage For Either Side on Balloting on
 Option Question.

Chicago, April 5-Virtual1y com plete returns from points where the option question was voted upon in Illinois, indicate that little advantage went to either side as the result of yesterdays election. Prohibition victories show that between $50 and 400 saloons were eliminated while towns won by the liquor forces from the dry column will open territory that had more than 250 saloons at the time of the 1912 dry victories.
 The saloon interests won back the cities of Bloomington and Carhnville, retained Aurora, Lincoln and Alton, and regained about 20 townships scat tered over the state. The anti-saloon forces gained Waukegan and Molin, held Elgin and also won a number of townships which had saloons. The greatest victory for the anti-saloon interests occurred at Waukegan where 94 saloons were voted out The vic tory for the dry forces there make all the territory along Lake Michigan from Chicago to the Wisconsin line a distance of 60 miles, prohibition ground.
