RED SNOW APPEARS.
Attracts Attention in Sections of Ma
tiOnaI Park .-,----------

Red snow, which has made its appear
ance in many sections of the Rocky
! Mountain National Park this summer,
has attracted wide attention from the
thousands of tourists who have visited
this national playground.
The red snow Is seen to the best ad-
vantage during the motor drive over the
new Fall River road which crosses the
Continental Divide reaching an eleva
tion of over ll,700 feet above sea level.
Many are the explanations offered by
tourists, and those who have seen the
snow at about twilight stoutly main
tain its pinkish color is due merely to
the reflection of the setting sun.
knowledge of the real cause adds in
terest to this curious phenomenon. The
great masses of color which appear in
the large snow fields in the higher elC-
vations result from countless millions
of tiny organisms, which have the
power of movement, growth and repro
ductIon-a microscopic plant, Protococ-
Gus nivalis. Like many other low forms
of life, this one has characteristics of
both the animal and vegetable king
J dOms, and belongs, strictly speaking, to
neither.
A close inspection discIoses that the
color is concentrated in the hollows or
, the furrowed surface of the snow, and
| reaches its maximum density about
lone quarter inch below the surface. a
slight scraping viii produce in some
places streaks of almost blood red. On
the tongue its flavor suggests water
melon. A handful of the snow, taken
up and allowed to melt away, will leave
a powdery red stain.

The West Brattleboro Baptist church
has had a season of prosperity for the
last year or more, which is reason for
rejoicing among it's membership. Forty
six have been added to its numbers,
nearly all of whom are are young people.
A good interest is maintained in the
church services and in the Sunday
school and other organizations. A much
larger sum was raised last year for
current expenses than ever before, and
in the new world movement the sum
pledged was over 5000 above the amount
required Much of tins is due to the
wise leadership of the pastor, the late
Rev. Z. B. Cornell, who was not strong
physically yet accomplished much. He
had kindly word, pleasant smile and
real interest in the welfare of those
around him. He kept his interest in the
church to the very last. His wife was a

Mother of DepOsed Emperor Said to
Have Taken Opium Following
Quarrel.

PEKIN, Oct. 17.-Princess Chin,
mother of the boy Emperor, Hsuantung,
who was ousted from the throne on Feb
ruary II, 1912, died on October 1. 1t is
reported she committed suicide by taking
an overdose of opium. The reason for
her suicide is attributed by reports from
the imperial court to a quarrel between
Princess Chin and the Empress Dow
ager. Princess Chun..
1t is declared the empress dowager
desired that the boy emperor should
marry a daughter of President HSu
Shichang, but the princess supported the
erstwhile mOnarch's wish to marry an
other woman. Another report is that
the emperor is alleged to have shown no
respect for the dOwager and neglected
the usual court ceremonies. This
caused the dowager to upbraid the young
mans parents, whereupon the mother
swallowed opium and died soon after
ward.
The emperor is now living in retire
ment and is reported TO have said he
would not marry until he had seen the
world. and made an attempt to find
means to shake off the influence of the
empress dowager.

Crusaders say their plans are ripe, they've hitched their wagons to some stars, and soon they'll take away my pipe, and shut me off from long cigars. When l am smoking l am mild, I never raise a fuss or rant, I am as gentle as a child, and harm less. as my maiden aunt. But when they take my pipe away fear I'll train with savage men; l really am afraid to say what tragedies may happen then. Our lives are full of ugly curves and what We suffer no one knows; tobacco soothes the tired mans nerves, and gives his jaded soul repose. There's peace in forty million homes because tired Fathers puff and puff; with wreaths of smoke around their domes, they know tobacco is the stuff. They do not care to beat their wives or break the crockery and chairs; for smoking calms their troubled lives, as it would heal sore heads of bears. Tn moral fits, at divers times, I've thrown my trusty pipe away; then II wrote pessimistic rhymes and scrapped with neighobrs every day. I'd sternly say, No stack of pelf will ever make me smoke again : and then I'd sit and hate myself, and also hate my fellow-men.- Walt Mason.
