A LUCKY BLIZZARD.
When the long pampas grass was
green, Rose ranch was one of the pret
tiest little plices in all Northern Tex
as; but now that it was sere and dead
Rose ranch looked glum and drear
under the pallid November sky.
Somehow the appearance of things
had an unusual effect on the young
lord and master of this domain, and
he felt glum and drear too. He stood
on the front step of the little white
dwelling which he had built with his
own hands, and leaned against one of
the heavy door-posts, scowling dis-mally.
What a big, strong, handsome fel
low <iol n Ellsworth was! It was odd
that he had never married, being at
least twenty-seven. He was just the
man to win all of a woman's love, and
there was so much of him to get lone-some.
But his life had been devoted
to sterner things than thoughts of love:
notwithstanding his indomitable spirit
and his untiring industry, it had ta-ken
Lim years, single-handed and un-equipped
as he was, to bring his Tex-as
home to its present value.
While standing ruminating at the
door John's vision was greeted by the
appearance of Jessie Carell, " the
school-marm o' Sassafras," as some
called her, who lived at Colonel Blud-soe's,
a mile to the north of Rose
ranch, and taught the Sassafras school
nearly three miles tb the south. She
passed John's home, therefore, every
day, and sometimes he joined her and
accompanied her to the door of the
school-house. This was when Cephas
Bludsoe was not along.
She was a sweet little woman ; no
one could help thinking that.
Usually she rode a black pony on
her trips back and forth to school, but
on this particular morning she was
walking.
John brightened at sight of her and
as she came rp and smiled a greeting
he went down the path and took pos-session
ol her books and lunch basket.
How's it come you're walkin' this
morning?" he asked, as they passe
down the road. " Where's the pony ?"
" Doc' got out among the range
horses last night," she answered, " an'
I thought I wouldn't wait till he was
caugjht. I can stand walking to day
as there's no school at all to-morrow."
' Thanksgivin —thet's so. But it's
too far fer you to walk, Jessie. I'll
see that you ride back this evening.
I'll have one of my ponies down to
the school-house fer you."
" Cephas is goin' to bring ' Doc'
down, he said." Her eyes fell as she
said this. %
The frown returned to John's brow,
darker than ever. He said nothing
for a moment. Then he shifted the
books on his arm, and muttered some-thing
to the effect that it " might snow
big for Thanksgiving."
" Sister Carrie's comin' to day to
spend Thanksgivin' and a month with
me," he informed her presently.
"Comin'fro.a Ohio?"
"Yes. She'll get to Houston sta-tion
on the afternoon train, an' I'll
meet 'er."
" From all you've told me about
Carrie, I think I'd like to see her very
much," remarked the young school-ma'am,
earnestly.
" Would you ?" said John. " I'll
tell you : s'pose you spend Thanksgiv-in'
at Rose ranch, an' Carrie '11 get up
a rousin' dinner for us."
" I'm sorry," she began, paused and
contined : " I'm sorry, but I'm promis
ed Cephas to go over to Galloway's
with him to-morrow."
" Seems like you an' Cephas are
havin' a good deal to do with one an-other
of late," John muttered in a
hard voice. Then he added : " I've
thinkin' o' you all mornin'."
Judging from the way he spoke this,
it was not unlikely that his thoughts
of her had affected him more than the
weather.
I hope you thought good things,"
she said, pleasantly.
I heard you and Cephas were go-
' to marry, Christmas-times," he
said, abruptly.
She glanced up at him quickly.
" Who told that ?" she asked.
The subject was suddenly dropped
at this point. Cephas Bludsoe came
riding and blusteringly saluted them.
" Gloomy day, ain't it, Ellsworth ?"
he remarked. " Hope it won't snow
aiore I get back from the station.
Goin' down to-day, John ?"
" To the station ? Yes, this after-noon,"
John answered, quietly.
" I'll see you there, mebbe."
" She didn't deny it," he muttered.
I reckon it must be so."
That afternoon he went to Houston
station, which was a good eight miles
from Rose ranch, and when the train
from the north came there was Carrie
as radiant and gladsome as of old.
As the two started in the little
spring-wagon for the ranch, John no-ìn
ticed Cephas entering the station's
liquor resort in company with two
young fellows who were notorious
ne'er do-wells. It proved that this
was beginning of a great Thanksgiv-ing
drunk on the part of three.
" Seems like he's forgot his promise
to take the black pony fer Jessie,"
John thought.
Brother and sister were rejoiced at
meeting again after their long separa
tion, and the miles were traveled
quickly.
However, they had hardly left the
station when John noticed* a peculiar
change in the atmosphere. It grew
cold and the sky was lowering. Evi-dently
a storm was near.
He whipped up the horses and they
sped along rapidly.
Darker and darker grew the heav-ens.
John thought he bad never
known a storm to approach so swiftly.
It became bitterly cold, and the
wind blew from the North. Suddenly
the sleet and snow began to- fall, and
John knew that they were in the
midst of one of those terrible blizzards
of the Southwest.
He made Carrie as comfortable as
possible with his big buffalo robe and
her shawls, and bundled up himself all
he could, but still they suffered from
cold.
By the time they reached Sassafras
school house there were two feet of
snow on the ground, and it was falling
in a blinding flood.
The building was deserted and lock-ed.
John thought of Cephas in the
saloon at the station, and wondered if
Jessie had waited for the black pony.
They were still more than a mile from
Rose ranch, when a human form, pros-trate
in the snow, caused the horses to
shy and brought an exclamation from
John.
He drew the team to a standstill,
and, passing the lines to his sister,
leaped from his seat and bent over the
storm's victim.
" Great Heavens, Carrie !" he cried,
it's Jessie—the school-ma'am o' Sas-safras
!"
Carrie did not hear him. Stung by
the driving sleet and the biting cold, and
frightened perhaps by their master's
sudden start from his seat, the spirited
horses had plunged forward, and find-ing
no restraining hand at the bits,
for Carrie's hands were stiff and numb
with the cold, they dashed away over
the inanimate form of the little teach-er!
John lost not a moment in idle con-templation
of the situation.
Gathering the little teacher in his
strong arms, and holding her close
against his breast, that she might ab-sorb
some of the warmth from his own
person, he boldly struck through the
snow in the team, which had now en-tirely
disappeared in the storm.
At last Rose Ranch was reached
and there at the gate stood the runa-way
team, with heads down and tfceir
bodies quivering with cold, and at the
door was Carrie, uninjured and half-warmed
by the fire which burned in
the grate, and in the act of dispatch-ing
Yasques, the herder, to John's re-lief.
John did not tell her where Cephas
was, but he remarked that she could
not go to Golloway's now, and after
all would be their Thanksgiving guest.
She was glad of it, she said.
The two had a long talk the next
day while Carrie was preparing that
rousing dinner.
" Cephas told it," he said, in answer
to her repeated question.
Well, it is not the least bit true,"
she informed him. " I'd never marry
Cephas Bludsoe!"
Then the big, honest boy found ex-pression
for his love at last, and he
was electrified by the sweetness of her
answer.

Thousands of Icebergs.

and that on one day, about 200 miles
southeast of Ivigtut, be passed 158
bergs, some of great height aad impos-sible

the Sodium was buffeted and knocked

The Democratic Majority 180.
The unofficial list of the members of
the House in the Fifty-second Con-gress,
which has been compiled in the
office of the clerk of the House, is as
nearly correct as any list will be un-til
all the certificates are received.
Even then it is not likely to be chang-ed,
as the list has been prepared with
care, and in nearly every instance
from official returns. It is interesting
because, for the first time, it gives a
really definite idea of the political
complexion of the next House. It
shows that 222 Democrats have been
elected on a straight ticket, the num-ber
of Republicans being 92. It gives
the Farmers' Alliance a representation
of 17. But 12 of this number come
from the South, and will act with the
Democratic party, thus swelling the
latter's aggregate vote to 234. The
Democratic majority over the Repub-licans
is therefore, 130, or 142, count-ing
the Alliance men as Democrats.
PROPHECIES OP BENNER.
A Panic Predicted for 1891.
" Benner's Prophecies " is not re
garded as a standard work of exact
information in the offices of bankers
and financiers; but just new, when
there is a decidedly shaky feel in
among many men who haye consider
ed themselves rich, it is interesting to
note that the old Buckeye farmer
made a pretty good guess about the
coming of the financial flurry. In the
last edition of his book, dated Janu-ary
1,1890, he says :
I also predict that there will be a
wonderful advance in prices for iron
stocks and all products and commodi-ties
in 1890. All business will be
prosperous, and it will be a year of
good crops, and the boom year in this
period of activity.
A CKASH IN 1891.
'' In the beginning of the year 1891
speculation will be at its height—a
great business inflation—pig-iron
per ton in the markets of our country.
" I predict that there will be a panic
in the year 1891. The overtrading
and general inflation of business, and
expansion of credit and confidence will
produce this result. The panic prob
ably will be brought about by the
effects of heavy lainfalls and
floods, or by the collapse of some
large financial business firm.
" The panic will be a commercial
and financial revulsion, and will be
followed by long down sweep of prices."
CYCLES IN PANICS.
According to Benner there are cy-cles
in panics. He describes it thus :
Commencing with the commer-cial
revulsion of 1819 we find it was
eighteen years to the crisis of 1837 ;
twenty years to the crisis of 1857, and
sixteen years to the crisis of 1873,
making the order of cycles sixteen,
eighteen and twenty years, and repeat.
The cycle of twenty years was com-pleted
in 1857, and the cycle of six-teen
years, ending in 1873, was the
commencement of the repetition of the
same order. It takes panics fifty-four
years in their order to make a revolu-tion,
or to return in the same order.
The present cycle, consisting of eigh-teen
years will end in 1891, when the
next panic will burst upon us with all
its train of woes."
It is hardly worth while to speculate
whether or no the panic that has just
passed was that which Benner pre-dicted
for 1891. It was bad enough,
and it is to be hoped that nothing
worse will come next year.
PIG-IKON AS A FACTOR.
One of the Ohio farmers's pet
theories is that there is an intimate
connection between the prices of pig-iron
and financial panics. These, he
holds, come -when pig-ir..n is high,
never when it is low.
In his prophecies Benner saj s on
this point:
" Since 1819 panics burst upon us
after the price of pig iron had com-menced
to decline, and, therefore, it is
not chargeable to a general panic as
the direct cause of iron taking the
descending scale; the price declines
without a general panic. In 1891
the commencement of the decline in
the price of pig-iron will precede the
the panic of September or October of
that year."
Poisoned by Cheese.
READING, NOV. 24.—There was a
wholesale poisoning from eating cooked
cheese at Robesonia last night, over
fifty people being more or less affected.
Franklin Gebbert, who resides near
that place, was recently appointed an
agent for a brand of cheese manufac-tured
in Montgomery" county. Last
Saturday he distributed the cheese in
small blocks about three inches square.
Some ate the cheese immediately, while
many others took it home. Some
seventy-five persons got blocks of the
cheese.
During Sunday and Sunday night
those who had partaken of the article
began to feel sick. This increased
until they suffered with writhing pain
and cramps in the stomach. The first
to be attacked was the wife of Dr.
Drawbaugh, who showed signs of being
affected by fpme irritant poison. She
vomited and writhed in agony.
Drs. Drawbaugh and Bollman at-tended
over fifty persons who were
suffering from eating the cheese. Quite,
a number are still confined to bed, bat
all are likely to recover. The attend-ing
physicians have given it as their
opinion that it is copper poisoning. It
is thought that the cheese was boiled
in a coppor yessel. The cheese that
was left standing for some time be-came
green in spots. Prompt action
on the part of the physicians un-doubtedly
saved the lives of many of
the sufferers.
