Judge Norton was solemn, stern and dignitied to excess. He was also ego- tistical and sensitive to ridicule. Judge Nelson was a wit and careless of de- corum. He did not like Judge Norton. At a bar supper Judge Norton in an elaborate speech, referring to the early days of Wisconsin, described with trag- fc manner a thunderstorm which once overtook him in riding the circuit. The scene was awful, “and,” said the judge, “I expected every mowent the light- ning would strike the tree under which I had taken shelter.” “Then,” interrupted Nelson, “why in thunder didn’t you get under another tree?”—Philadelphia Ledger. A Snow Hurriczne, The buran, or snow hurricace of the Pamirs, is a meteorological phenome- non of great interest. Even in mid- summer the temperature during a snow buran frequently falls to 14 de- grees F., while in one winter it dropped to 45 degrees below zero at the end of January. The buran comes with star- tling suddenness, the atmosphere grow- ing dark with whirling snowflakes where scarcely a minute before the sky was perfectly clear. One of Life’s Little Tragedies. He seized her, drew her to him and deliberately struck her. She made no sound. Again and yet agaln the brute repeated the blow, and still she gave no sign of suffering, but when, with rapidly growing anger, he struck her for the fourth time she shrieked aloud, and her head flew off. She was only & match.—Bohemian Magazine, Wrong Way Around. “Mr. Purslington says he believes a man should pay as he goes.” “Judging from the way he gets in debt, he must be accustomed to travel- Ing backward.”—Washington Star.
