"What is the matter with it?" asked
the clerk.
"There ia nothing the matter with it

tho bead toward the north, aud it has
become such a habit with tue that it

"The hotel is well filled tonight, and 1

a porter, tbo clerk instructed him to
turn the bed iu the geutlemau's room so
that the bead won Id be to tho north.
The guest followed the porter up stairs,
and as nothing further was board from

son Is far from being wealthy, aa rich
men are rated, and the competency he
enjoys wn derired from sources whol
ly separate from politics.
The venerable ex-Seorctnry of the
Navy was born near Culpeper, Va., In
1809, of Ingrained American stock, and
throughout his life bis habits of
thought, his hospitality, Ills culture and
his courtly ways have lieen those of the
educated, well-bred Southerner. Twenty-one
years later, at the Christmas
season, he left for the West and set
tled at Bedford, Ind., as a young law
yer. In 1M2 he came to Terro Haute,
and a brilliant career opened up for
him. A term In tho State Legislature
bad been followed by one aa State Sen
ator, and be was now In Congress. He
was returned In 18-18. then appointed
Circuit Judge, and from that event
until he was handed the naval port
folio by President Hayes was nearly
all the time serving the people In a
Judicial capacity. During the war he
was provost marshal of his district and
drilled four regiments an olllelnl ca
pacity fraught with danger In that par
ticular district, where thnt somewhat
mysterious and deadly association, the
Knights of the Golden Circle, were a
strong present social feature. It was
In his first term In Congress, In 1811,
that Col. Thompson met Abraham Lin
coln. The acquaintance grew Into u
friendship which endured until tho
death of Lincoln. When the latter was
President be urged Col. Thompson to
take a seat on the bench of the Court
of Claims. The ex-Congressmnn de
clined, as he had the proffer of the
Austrian mission uuder Taylor and the
recordershlp of the Laud Office In Fill
more's administration, but be was a
prominent figure In all campaigns. In
the old Tlpecanoc campaign he gave
the elder Harrison eealous support ou
the stump. As a Presidential elector,
he enst hia vote for the first President
of the nnme. Nearly fifty-six years
afterward his support materially aided
the grandson In securing the nomina
tion and election. He was several times
a. Presidential elector, and was a mem
ber of nil the historic or nomblo Re
publican conventions after tho forma
tion of the party. Col. Thompson re
tired from the Hayes Cabinet shortly
before the close of the administration,
to become president of the American
committee of the Panama Canal Com
pany. He was also a director of the
Isthmus Railway.
Col. Thompson Is passing bis declin
ing days in a tranquil home, surround
ed by grent elms that look as if they
were natural forest growth, planted by
himself and his young wife close upon
a half century ago. He has Just com
pleted his Interesting "Personal Recol
lections." Full of euterinlnitiK anec
dote, be Is as well a rare analyst of
human excellence and the national
progress. He believes thnt Webster's
oration will never die, that Calhonu
was a brilliant man always underesti
mated, that Clay wns the greatest
speaker of his age; but be does not
believe thnt American eloquence died
with them. He considers that, as great
questions come up for settlement, able
disputants will meet the occasion, and
that American pride and energy can
compass all requirements that arise to
make It necesary to mnintalu the su
premacy of the United States.

The blizzard gives hut a brief warn
ing of Its coming. Duly those dose to
shelter may hope to escape Its fury.
The cowboy on the distant range reads
the sign In the sky, notes the action of
the cattle, ami pn pares to battle for his
life. I'siiallv a snowfall precedes the
blizzard. The snow Is llii.1 and light
aud dry. The atmosphere U calm and
cold, the temperature heitij below the
freezing point, but there la a feeling of
nppreHhiveiiesi in the air. The sky Is
dull and Icidcn. Unite Instinct is
quicker to discover tlnt.o signs of the
approaching bli.zard than the intelli
gence of man. The cattle begin M
gather for protection, first In small
bunches which meet nnd mingle until
they have grown to the proportions of
a herd. Animal that have strayed off
alone are attracted to the constantly
increasing main Isxly, and liny ap
proach the common center from all
parts of the range. Not a breath of air
lias yet disturbed the newly fallen
snow. Iuu the sky Is growing darker,
and notwithstanding die coldness the
air seems heavy and produces a sufto
rating sensation.
Suddenly the leaden hue fades from
the sky; it grows black in an Instant.
The mercury falls to rero within a few
moments, nnd continues to sink toward
the liulli of the thermometer. The cold
Is hitter and keenly penetrating, 1ml
its power to chill nnd kill will lie dou
bled when a velocity of sixty or eighty
miles nil hour has Immmi given the at
mosphere. The cowboy hut tons bis buf
falo overcoat and ties It with a rope
tightly around hi waist -preparatory
to lighting his w ay to shelter. The wind
comes In intermittent puffs, and bore
anil there line particles of snow are

tossed nnd whirled iu the air. Just as
little clouds of dust rise and curl when
a glnnclng bullet strikes the dry ground.
Another moment of dead calm followed
by a cold blast of wind more general
and far-reaching than what has pre
ceded, which whitens the air with
snow, chills the cowboy and his pony,
and causes the cattle on the edge of the
herd to shiver as they crowd closer
together.
Presently there comes a low moan
ing sound from the north; It grows
shriller until It resembles n wail; II
rises and swells Into a howl and then
a shriek, as the great currents of air
from nature's cold storage sweep wKI)
cyclonic fury over the treeless plain.
The air Is thick with line, cld snow;
the cowboy and his pony are obliter
ated from the vision and the herd la but
a mass of Incomplete and shadowy
forms. The blizzard has begun. The
buffalo coat of the cowboy does not
seem to afford him any belter protec
tion than If it were of linen; the Icy
wind Ouds Its way Into every opening
ind penetrates the thick material at
though It were a sieve. Ills eyes are
momentarily blinded by the flue cold
snow, and there Is a stinging sensation
In his fuce as If a mass of chilled nee
dles were being hurled Into It each In
stant. His first thought Is for shelter,
but whither will he go? There aro no
longer nny rardlnol points of the com
pass. North, east, south and west nr
all one now. There Is nothing but a
whirling, swirling, blinding mass of
snow and the shriek of the tempest. He,
cannot trust to his pony to carry hlin
lo a place of refuge or to the home
ranch. For the pouy In a blizzard Is
ruled absolutely by the Instinct of self
preservation, which means that If left
to choose bis own route he will travel
In the same direction ns the storm.
Only by persistent urging can ho be
made to face It nnd If must be nn er
ponenced rider that cau guide him In
any dlrootlon but the ono which glvea
him the best protection from the ele
ments. There will come momentary lulls
when the rider may take his bearings,
but before he can make much headway
In what he thinks Is the right direction
the blizzard Is again upon him aud
often tho skillful guiding of his pouy
will result In traveling In a circle.
Tho herd, with the Bame Insllnct up
permost In the pony, turns tall to th
storm and drifts with It. The bod in
of those ou the outer side of the herd
are soon coated thick with snow and
there Is a constant struggle for a place
near the center of the bunch, where
the surrounding animals Impart
warmth and serve to break the pow
erful force of the wind. It Is a contest
In which the strongest are the survlv
om and the weakest perish.
If the blizzard lasts but a few hours
all may escape; If for days, then only
the hardy animals will be left. Fol
lowing In the path of the blizzard the
rider will come upon the dead carcass
es of the animals singly. In twos, and
sometimes ns many ns a dozen will
fall and perish together.
The heavy thaw that so often follows
fast upou the blizzard frequently
causes as heavy losses in cattle as the
blizzard Itself. The cattle seek the low
lands for water. There they find that
the terrllic wind has swept away the
snow. The grass there Is ng.re luxu
rlaut than on the range, but with each
hour of sunshine their footing beoomes
more and more insecure and they sink
deeper ond deeper Into the soft nilre
of the marshy ground. Those that
have been weakened either through
fasting or the rigors of the storm nre
held fast. In the spring every marshy
wnterliob' Is clus.'ly watched by t!:e at
tleinen and thousands of cattle are res
rued. Those places that are not watch
ed are thickly strewn with carcass,
