Knnoii SKNii.viiu: After a long de
lay, during which time the require'
incuts of butdnoi have demanded my
attention to an unusual degree, I tako
up my pen again, lJhpiug to give you
something to soothe for a momviil
your literary appetite
At Klamath for sometime past, the
weather lias been reinaikably Due for
this season of tho year. No winter
yet. Last Sunday was traiiscemloiitly
beautiful, being warmer, blighter, ami
moie pleasant than muuy ilnyn last sum
mer. Some weeks ago the ground was
haul frozen, and tho lake wns plated
on top, but tlici ice Is now all gope, the
giound it fine condition for plowing,
nml no snow on thu lower country
dining tho cold weather abovu men
tioned many dashing exploits were
pel formed on the ice, the most consid
erable of which was thu u-stilt ol the
pailieular "heft" und spirit of your
scribbling servant. (Jelling a good
rtait on tho lake, with velocity of a
locomolite on a down grade, I spud
ncross a small field of ice, and not be
ing able lo employ my brake in time,
I dashed into a tulu marsh, wheie, the
ice being thin, wo madu n break and
corragiously exptoied the under side
of the marsh, finding it decidedly mud
dy. On examining my depth I found
ubout three feet of my coat tail under
water, and my delicate lilllo feet sink
ing deeper nnd deeper into tho miry
bottom. I decided ut once that a po
sition on top of tho ice would bu pre
ferable tnld made some desperate ef
foi ts to secure such a potjug, but for
a long time without success, the ice
continuing to break. Finally, sum
ming up all my energies, I got all my
pails to work in uiiuoii and sprang
ilku some siLMiinrluo inoiuter into thu
firm icu ot tlie lake taking with me a
considerable part of the water
of the marsh, and some mud
that likely hud Hot been so high in
thousand years, During this fearful
feat, even when sui rounded by dan
gers of such a frightful charactcrj jk
boy stood by and laughed with tin-
common fervor, and a log howled,,
with extreme delight, uqh is lj(e.l('
