Rigors of Alpine Winter. . .
The situation in Switzerland, owing
to snowstorms, is much worse than is
revealed by the scant telegrams leav
ing the country. The state of things
has rarely been ao bad at this time of
year.
The uplands already lie two yards
deep under snow, and the mountain
villages of Simplon and other villages
are absolutely cut off from the rest
of the country. An attempt has been
made in the leglslaature to induce the
government to keep these passes open
all the year, but the cost was declared
to be prohibitory.
From Berne in the beginning of the
week several diligences were long
overdue, and their antral was await

ants who had gone with cattle from
the valleys to the uplands had also

(ERECTIONS
TB TIME the lit
tle girl across the
street raised the
shade. It was a
funny notion, of
her to ask me to
look at the even
ing star every
night at the same
time she did and
think of her! She's
worth thinking of
all right and I
rather like her
sentiment about
the star.
It'a very plain that she thinks a lot
of me. Sometimes I have a notion
that the best thing I can do is to be
kind to her and give up my bachelor
ways. When a nice little thing like
her appreciates a fellow and Is so
fond' of him well. It sort of goes to
his head.
8he wanted to know the other even
ing why I objected so seriously to
matrimony. I don't object to it. I
approve of it for some people. I be
lieve that occasionally It is even suc
cessful. But her Idea about a man's
loving only once is all tommyrot I
consider that Idea an unwarranted be
littling of his sentimental capacity.
However, it'a all right for her to
have those ideas, and I like her to
keep them.
A man becomes a bachelor by selec
tionat least, only the- undesirable
ones have it forced upon them, and no
doubt they deserve their fate. By se
lecting a wife so much younger than
I am I can be sure that she will look
up to me, think as I. do on all subjects
and idolise me generally. It is best so.
When she gave me that crocheted
necktie last evening, her eyes danced
with admiration as she held it up to
me. She seemed pleased, too, when I

told her I would put it away and never
bring it before the gaze of a cold and
unappreciative - public How pretty
she looked! Her eyes are the color
of the sea. l
This smoke is gradually getting the
upper hand of me. It gives a fellow a
subtle suggestion of mingled memories
of moonlight and stars. I'll stop think
ing of her.
She Is so naive. I met her at one of
the stores -yesterday and she asked
me to go with her to buy something
for a birthday present for -a friend a
gentleman of whom she was very
fond. It was evident that I was the
friend, for no one could doubt the
story written In those Innocent blue
eyes. t
We went from neckties to fobs,
to umbrellas audi back to neckties.
The clerks were very attentive to us
and' she shyly said: "They think we
are sweethearts."
I couldn't help telling her that I waa
proud to have them think so.
- It almost staggered me, though,
when she pouncedon a mustache cup
labeled "From a Loving Giver." She
asked me if I didn't think that was a
nice sentiment and I declared that
any man would stay awake nights to
read it So she bought the cup evi
dently forgetting that I always wear
a smooth face. However, I shall treas
ure the gift
I think I may as well go over there
now and, if the propitious moment ar
rives, who knows but to-night may
see her happy and me bound with
rosy fetters?
WeU, I didn't stay over there long,
anyway. I feel that I have narrowly
escaped with my life and my free
dom. The Uttle girl was not at home. Her
mother said that she was at the thea
ter with her fiance that puppy Ben-
I suggested that they were rather
young.
"They have my blessing." said she,
"and you know the heart is never too
young nor too old to heed the cry of
love. Even I if the right man asked
me"
It was not the words so much aa
the look that accompanied them that
terrified me and drove me into the
street with my overcoat on my arm.
I felt sure of one thing I didn't care
to be "papa" either to the little girl or
to Benson.
I am beginning to understand the
onslaughts, of women like her who lay
snares for the unwary feet of unsus
pecting bachelors.
And at least I am safe from receiv
ing that foolish cup. Benson gets it

wasn't looking forward to the holi
day season very joyously, because
nobody ever sends me anything I
want and I'm so poor and pinched
for weeks afterward that the season
of good will is only a miserable tragic
farce with me.
"Well, I started down to the shop

away with these long white ones. I
hunted for cheap handkerchiefs for

for my oldest sister, Carrie, and
came away with this box of silk dar

sachet for my chum Bertha when I
saw the extract bottle here done up
In a velvet box and fell. When I got
home that night I waa horrified to

never had such n Christmas in my
