In consequence, it is the plrnu re and alm of the Nebraska Individual Gas Co., 1o glve a few polnts In vindication of their assertion, that they can furnish the hest and most economic light with which the public has as yet hecome acquainted. Perhaps no better argument ¢ be used but we do not stop here. Aside from economy Independent Gas possesses other advantages which go far toward making 1t the popular illuminant, In the first place its name bears a point | 4 1o be considered.

O Coal gas, as those using it well know, Is more or less seriously affected by cold weather, thus rendering an unreliable and unsatisfactory illuminant during the winter months, en it is most needed, say nothing ahout the annoyance. Here we have a point which please note, As a test of the ability of Individual Gas to withstand the cold, we had the reservoirs of both our office and warehouse placed on the roof in hold rellef, where for the past 80 days they have heen subjected to the wverest of tests, our light showing no signs of variation or weakness, It is a common thing to sec a once clear and neat ceiling blackened immediately over the gas fixture, or perhaps caused hy a smoking hanging lamp. It is a little thing to be sure, but how annoying to a careful housekeeper. Individual Gas gives & pure, clean, soft, and as white a light as could be desired, and is perfectly odorless. The feeling against the regulation me- ter has led us to desire a simple, yet ace rate indicator, which any child can thor- onghly derstand, thus reducing that prejudice which has taken such root. We read daily of deaths caused by suffocation from escaping gas, or the careless use of Why not avoid such horrors! No matter what amount of care is exercised; aceidents will and it ‘isto lessen or remove all chances of anything of the kind that we : subject to your inspection, onr gas, The positive shut off on all gas burners is neeessary to extinguish the light prop- erly, but let the light be extinguished by other means, blowing or going out on ac- count of a temporary insufficient supply, and what is the consequence—suffocation, or perchance explosion—and the question naturally arises, how is it with Individual Gas, Here we have our main argument: We look after the reservoir and keep it always supplied, thus velieving the co sumer of anyannoyance or ¢ From there the gas flows to each and every bur match is applied, the heat generate gas which s and ignites, therefore the minute that heat is taken away, either by accident or otherwise, the gas ceases to generate, hence though the burner bhe turned on full head, no gas escapes.

We had mentioned 1 o'clock as the time for the ceremony. so made calculation on being at the parsonage at that hour, Before we were two miles on our way the snow began to fall in great feathery flakes. I love a snow storm, and wasdelighted to be out in one. Secing father and another grave and troubled, I laughed and jested,and indeed wus in an unusu- ally merry mood for one who was leav- ing home and friends to go among strangers, with only a husbund’s love to depend upon. or gome time the snow fell slowly -and heavily, then the wind rose and the cold began to increase. Joe suggested a return and hinted at ossible dunger, Father hesitated, but tnmk thought there was no.more dan- ger in an advance than a retreat, so on we went. Heavens! what an experience that was which followed. The wind howled hike a Lostof de- mons, bent on our destruction. The snow became infinitesimally fine, and, driven by the blast, stung one’s flesh when exposed like needle points.

At 2 by Frank's watch we were nearly frozen, and the weary horses could searcel move along. Suddenly Joe put out his hand and clutched at some object close to the side of the sleig *‘Hurrah! “Whoa." The tired horses stopped instantly, only too glad of the chance. Joe sprang out into the yielding snow. Ina moment he shouted again. “Helloo! Here's another sleigh! Father! nk!

The lady looked grave,sighed, and “then said she felt it her painful duty to inform me that the friends who had been so kind to me were dangerous people to know, as their past history bore a shadow unon its pages. on, and was joined by another friend—a widow—a few blocks down the street. dy mentioned having seen me in sution with the person whom I town is supposed had just left. ‘T'hope, you are not on intimato terms with her,' she said. **You knot, there are many people who believe her first marriage was—well, no matter, but old residents here told me the story, and I do ot _care to know the lady myself.” I bade the widow good afternoon and dropped in to call on an acquaintance. “How came you to be walking with that woman?” asked my hostess as soon as1 was seated. “Isaw you from the windw, and could hardly believe my s, she said. *‘Don’t you know that ndal was in all the papers when she got her divorce? never met her, but h-um all [ hear she is no friend for you.” 1 related my experiences to a ;.{mlllo- man friend later in the day.
