A LITTLE WINTER GOSSIP.

STRATTON PARK, COLORADO SPRINGS. Jan. 14th EDITORS GIRARD PRESS- -Many Crawford county folks have visited the Pike's Peak region in the summer when the thermometers at home were skirmishing around the century mark; they have enjoyed the cool depths of our canons where the lullaby of the ever murmuring brook gladly knits up the raveled sleeve of care, but very few of them have been here in mid-winter. The chief difference between a Kansas winter and one in Colorado is this: Kansas always has more or less rain and muddy roads and cloudy weather, while Colorado has no rain, very little mud, and sunshine a plenty. Generally our snows are so transient that sleighing is a minus quantity, but occasionally there are exceptions.

The favored first with week in we were a snow and you may yet see generous traces of it. That snow has made us all "sit up and take All traffic was completely paralyzed until the roads and streets were opened. It was reported that some of the "dry farmers" out east of us were compelled to burn corn in their heating stoves. Dr. McKay, who lives on the side of Cheyenne mountain, tried to get some burro.

supplies up to his place on a He said the snow was so deep that the little fellow could not touch the bottom, so the Dr. had to tramp or shovel a path for the little beast. Every snowshoe in town was in commission. They were the first I ever saw worn. They look like a cross between a tennis racquet and a carpet beater.

A big snow always gives folks an opportunity to say, "Well, this is the biggest snow we ever had here." But now let us take a tramp up the North Cheyenne to Bruin Inn. In this canon the snow is still some twenty inches deep. A path wide enough for one follows the stream, which for the most part is like a total eclipse of the moon, invisible. But you may hear the muffled prattle of the water under the snow At the ripples and water falls you may see the most exquisite and marvelous embroidery all done i in silvery ice. A sort of enchanted fretwork flt for a fairy's palace.

The roadside rocks have been named by some unknown and imaginative Adam. One rock is known as head of sorrowful His unhappy majesty is now wearing a cowl of snow! How ironical! little farther on a high rock sits "'The watch dog." The teeth of relentless time have since gnawed away his ears and tail. With majestic air and solemn mien, at the mouth of a little valley, stands old "King Solomon," as though he were just in the proper mood to give us a new book of his wise Proverbs. It is so still that you half that watch dog would yelp, or that the old king would echo his vanity of vanities, all is vanity. At one place I notice a small owl lying dead in the snow; nearby was a rusty hued of mouse also dead.

No doubt the mouse met his death at the hands or talons of the owl, but what killed the little pirate owl? Ernest Thompson Seton saysevery wild animal dies a tragic death--even so here was a double tragedy. High up amongst the ragged crags I saw a huge eagle, brown as the granite rocks he loves, sailing around on languid wing. Perhaps he was out for just a sniff of fresh mountain air, but more likely there was mischief in his head and hunger in his stomach -hunger for the toothsome flesh of some unwary rabbit. Any one who has been in this canon in the summer when it is thronged with its multitude of tourists, riding in carriages or on burros, grown coduty, 1914: (3) tourists walking and little tourists there- carts, picnicing little around groups the here blue and smoke of a wood fire, would be impressed by the utter lonehness of the place. You feel "like one who treads alone some banquet hall deserted, whose lights are fled, garlands dead, and all but he At Bruin Inn a sign reads, "Stop here." SO I stopped.

The two proprietors are hibernating there with Teddy the dog and Kermit the cat. The visitors' register shows very few callers at this time of year. Inside was a cosy fire around which we discussed the new currency law, the parcels post, the coal strike, and lesser gossip. The whistle of the evening train from Cripple Creek reminded us that it was time to go home. John Burroughs says, path always leads to some, place." John is right.

This path leads back to Stratton Park. A traveler alone in a dark wood always thinks of the stories he reads of hungry wolves and mountain lions, but you are just as safe in North Canon as you would be in jail, and safer. A few stars have lit up their watch fires and the night comes on apace. We pass a quartet of foolish girls frying bacon and playing picnic in the midwinter snow. Such is winter life in North Canon, where the stillness is always accompanied by the mellow laughter of the happy stream emigrating from the eternal heights.

BERT Z. WINGER. Animals Resent Keeper's Absence. The keeper of the Washington park 200 in Milwaukee finds that it is not well for him to leave the baby animals, of which there are always a few on hands. When he leaves the young leopards or other infants they are likely to sulk and make themselves ill, and as he is very f.

id of all of them he takes very few vacations, and only when there are no young animals that particularly need his came. Fruit in Glass. A' housewife who was puzzled to know how she could put fruit in the refrigerator and not have it scent the butter and milk by the side of it: caught the idea of emptying out the basket into glass jars and putting on the tops.
