'Idas soon sell you my farm for 2 cents as
to buy your compound , " said Partner Catlin
to the black-haired and uncanny locking
stranger He had arrived just at nightfall
nt the close of a loop winter's storm. The
fields and trees and fences and roofs were
while with now and the two ratlin boy *
were delighted , but their father with his
knowledge of the work that It entailed would
have been glad to cee the snow take the same
wings that had brought It and fly to the tit-
termtst parts of the earth. And here was
this fellow having the Impudence to Oder
him a compound that would make snow per
manent.
Mr Catlin had let the mm Into the little
hall with Its winding stairway that led ID
the bedrooms aboto and now they stood talkIng -
Ing while Bernard and Ilralncnl. his tno
sons eagerly listened to the stranger's en
trancing conversation.
' Why , I've so'd quantities of It to fellers
down tn New York , who are going to use It
to make toboggan slides that'll last all sum-
"Wcll. pfople In the city may have time
for such foolishness , but what In tarnation
do you suppose 1 want my farm burled under
three foot of snow the year around for ?
Summer season's short enough as 'tis , "
"But pap ? . " * alil Bernard , "you wouldn't
have to work eo hard. "
"And we'd llvo on the snow I s'pose. Snow
jiudd'n' and Ice cream , " said Ihe old man
sarcastically.
"And we could go sleigh rldln' when the
weather was HO warm that we'd wear just
a shirt and trousers. Wouldn't that bo
dandy ? " said Bralncrd.
"Well. It's aout of the qucsilon. I ain't
go'n4 to buy your compound an' ther' nln't
no TOO to foolish In nil Saouth Ardmore to
do seen a thing. Haow much s It ? "
"Only } . " > ; i quart nnd a quart will sprinkle
nn acre , besides which 1 donate a beautiful
nickcl-plaled machine for dlstrlbullng U. "
"Say. young man , " said Mr. Catlin. s-ul-
dcnly. "I think you're dealln' In unlawful
goods an' cf they ain't they ought to bo.
S pose you was to strike some -mischievous
feller that had a grudge ng'ln his neighbor ?
He'd fprlnkle his fields with It while ho slcp'
nn' 'twould be winter all the year 'raound
on that farm. 1 don't question your twin'
nble to do It. Senco I see horse cars go alcoe
I'm prepared for anythlu' . but you don't ecll
nio nothln' of the kind. Good night. "
With a little sigh the man slung his bag
over his back and left the house.
Mr. Catlin went out to the barn to bed
down the caltle and the boys followed the
atninger.
"Say , do you sell that In small quanti
ties' " asked Bernard.
"Don't llko to open a can. You see n quart
will last a life time , so you only have the
first expense. Your father's got the wrong
Idea. I don't want to cover up his potato
fields with snow the year round , but If he
has a hill that ain't worth cultivating and
sprinkles it with this nowder you boys can
coast all summer loug and he can keep his
milk and butter cool and comfortable without
any need of Ice. "
"Wl h we could see the thing work , " said
Bernard with caution. "Course such
weather as this snow Is going to stay any
way , but how do we know It would stay
when a thaw came ? "
"That's so , " echoed Bralnerd.
"Easy proved , " said the stranger with a
emilc , "I'll build a little flre here out of
Home pine cones If you boys 'II get 'em and
I'll sprinkle a little of the powder on ome
enoir and you can make snow balls that'll

bo seed to play croquet with next August. "
"Won't they melt ? " asked Bralncrd.
"If you can melt 'em I'll give you my
whole outfit. "
A bonfire In'the snow always appeals to a
boy and they soon collected nbout a hundred
cones from a tree near at hand. Then the
Btrangw built a little pyramid of them ,
poured some kerojene oil on them from n
f ' tiny can that he curried In the pocket of his
> - ulster and touching a match to It had it
blaze In a few seconds.
The brick-red blaze lighted up the snow
and made It sparkle with a million diamonds ,
but the boys were too Interested In watchIng -
Ing tbo further processes of the stranscr to
notice the beauty of the scene. Ho took u
little water sprinkler out of h * > other pocket
nnd filled It with gome of the powder. Then
he dusted the snow with It for the space of
a yard square.
"Now make snow balls boys and put them
Into the fire. "
Tbo boys got ( o work and fashioned big ,
round snow balls , patting them Into shape
and hardening them by a pressure of the
knees. When a dozen had been made the
stranger said , "Now dump them In the
flre. "
The boys did BO and were not at all sur-

WHITTLING A.S A ItCCIinATIOX.

People who flock southward during the
winter as a relief from the cares at home
lake on some new and etrange occupations.
At present the passion is for whittling. In
fact. It Is the amusement of the hour of
the banker , the merchant and the tlrcd-out
millionaire. But it Is not the same aimless
chipping away of a stick that delights the
school boy ; very pretty things are made by
these grave designers , paper cutters being
the most general.
WHhN THEY SAW MOTHERLY MRS. CATLIN.
Blakely bill , which was not far from the
house , but which was three-quarters of , a
mlle lonp. very steep , and never used for
anything1. On the way there they passed the
church , and whether by accident or design
they dropped a lot In front of the
church on a big drift , and If you go up to
Ardmore next summer you can eee that drift
glcamlnp in the hot summer sun. Every
cno has to drive around it , but it has
brought lots of summer people to the place ,
fa no ono has ever complained.
Arrived nt Blakely hill they sprinkled a
path ten feet wide for the whole length and
that used up all their powder but a little bit ,
which they saved for future use.
Then they went home and went to bed FO |
early that Mr. Catlin faid to his wife : "I j
delayre for't those boys get better'n better.
I was always full of the ol' Harry when I ]
was their age. Now I wouldn't have be'n
contented to let that man go off with his
rnls'able compaound tonight if I'd be'n them.
I'd a covered the farm with It. "
"They're the beat boys In the world ,
father , " said Mrs. Catlin. and went up to
their room to kiss them good night and
tuck them in.
Boys are generally anxious to have snow-
remain , but In view of the queer things that
were going to happen the Catlin Jx > ys wished
hard for a thaw. But the weather held cold
for two weeks and no one suspected that
any snow had been chemically hardened.
Thr > boys built several bonfires on Blakely
hilf io test It and It didn't melt a bit.
They hinted to their schoolfellows that
when a thaw came thcro'd be more fun than
n goat up at their house and at Blakely hill ,
but beyond that they would say nothing.
At laft , toward the end of January , there
came a warm rain , and snow In the vicinity
of South Ardmoreanished like maple syrup
and buckwheat cakes.
The biys beard the patter of the rain on
the tin roof and they hugged themselves and
chuckled. In the morning they were up-as
soon as It was light. The rain had stopped ,

but it was very warm. The mi-reurj' regis
tered 52 on the front porch. They dressed
and went out of doors In the morning twi
light. Bare ground everywhere. Bare ground
as far as they could se , except that on the
front path tbero was three fevt of snow
packed hard , and all around the house a
drift and tvo picturesque heaps on the gate
posts , and under one of the pine trees a pile
of ashes and half burned cones and twelve
ilr. Catlin was dispose ! to be angry when
he eaw what had happened , but good Mrs.
Catlin reminded him that boye would be
boys and that they might have covered up
his winter wheat.
"Well , tt does beat all ! " he said at last ,
and when he beard about the coasting at
Blakely hill he grinned like a boy and
said : "Mother , what , say we all go over
there and renee aour youth/ "
Mrs. Catlin would never grow old. She
was always ready for anything , so a merry
family party. Including the hired girl and
the hired man , set out for the hill , drawing
In their wake the boys' big bobsled.
Of course lots of people saw them going
up the road pulling the sled over the bare
ground and many thought them crazy , but
when a few minutes later they heard shrill
cries of glee from Mrs. Catlin and the girl
and the deep bass laughter of the oien and
the shouts and chortles of the boya they
ran out to tee what was the matter
And when they saw motherly Mrs. CaMIn ,

as seriously as though in search of the buck
of the season. More prized than any other
are the woods of the laurel and rhododen
drons. Both are exquisitely white and re
ceive as high and fine a polish as satin.
Straight pieces of considerable length are
chosen to be cut , and it is desirable that
they should terminate In a fork. The forked
part is left undisturbed In its natural state
for the handle , while the other end Is whit
tled down into the blade of the cutter.
Various are the ways for achieving this ap
parently simple end and every man finds
contentment In the conviction that his own
knife and tools are the best. The final
polishing is universally done with sandpaper
and a broken bit of glass.
Knitting needles are also popular among
the things that are being whittled. They
are finished at the top with a round ball ,
which has carved upon it the Initials of the
1 one who is to-be their possessor. The great-
I est achievement in whittling , however , is an
j endless chain that was recently done by
| quite an old gentleman who had gone to the
south for rest. Within each link rested
j a little revolving ball. It was truly a chef
I d'oeuvre.
I Scientifically U is claimed that there Is
j something about the mechanical calm of
! whittling which is most restful to an over
taxed mind.

A prey forever to forebodings Krlm.
Well may he curse the day that gave him
