FOR THE HOLIDAYS SNOW STORM IN NEBRASKA Nebraska was choked with snow on Monday. The face of heaven and of the soil was hidden in white. The arbors of the Hon. Julius Sterling Morton were draped In unprotected white. The Hon. Tobias Castor got his pung out. There was nothing in the world but arctics and snowshoes. Even the Hon. William Boyd Allison committed himself so far as to aver that If it con tinued to snow, there might be more snow. There was more snow. The cat tle underneath It mooed complalnlng ly over their Iced milk. The pocket gophers began to droop and die In their holes lined with encouraging reports of the Divlson of Ornithology and Mammalogy. It was a cold day for Nebraska. The Hon. William Jennings Bryan dug a tunnel up to the surface dusted the icicles from his tragic face, and began to rehearse his world-renowned speech on the great ratio of 16 to 1. The snow seethed into hot water. The milch cows placidly chewed hot snow, pudding and advertised an excellent offering of hot milk with red pepper. The sky flamed. The lining of the gophers' retreat shrivelled. The crows dropped from their winter roosts and offered themselves, perfectly well done, as reed birds. The clouds took on a silver lining. The orD of day peeped through the fading white and bowed three times to the brighter face of Bryan. Birds rose from mysterious nests and giggled and twittered. A large silver buzzard occupied the center of the stage of heaven. The snow storm was over. New York Sun. Trilby's "Truthful pills" is a Bpecific in all rases of kidney and liver toubles.
