To them it was eAplicabie only ou the suppoeiiiou that the last day A'as at hand. It must be admitieu that such a prograaimo seems too i.oeral of mischief for auy less momeuloas ccca- sion. The occurrence of thick darkness at an earlier hour of the day ihau it might have been expected in the absence of a log was accepted by more than a few as a tartlici; con£rmatiou of the prophecy, althougn it bad not been specially named by the prophet. There were people who Went aLMJUi with the luformaiion, exclu sively theirs, that half-paal '2 in the after- noon was the exact time at which to listen for the craiJt of doom, and when that boar had passed iu peace and qiuei they probably hailed the earl^ darkness as an incident behind which they might stkl ter thcoiseives from the liie ul chatf wnich had begun to beat upKju them.

A BLXZZARI) HEROIXE. MinBie Freeuiaii, a Nebraaka Girl, Save* a iscluMl ol Children. Not many miles from the town of Ord id sitoated the school-bouse of Mira Valley ncnoui district. The house la a sa.all frame structure, and the nearest dwehing to it in at least one-half mile diatant. Thursday morning, January I'itb, when the bUzzaru came, there were in the little achocl-huo^*; Miaa Minnie Freeman, the teacher, yet in bar teens, and thirteen pcpUe between the agesof 6 and 16 ytars. The children were wrought up to Ihe highest pitch cf excite- ment by the (ury af the storm. In the midst of the teacher's assorance that all would be well a terrible gust of wind s'.ruck the boilding.the windows rattled, the house shook and the dcxir of the structare was lom from its hmges. It waii men ibe young teacher realized the Dewrssity of pre- paring for emergencies. With an exhiDi- iion of rare judgment she gathered her Utile brood together, and securing a coil of strong heavy twine, began with the largeaS one and tied the children together by the arms and boo ies, three abreast. This com- pleted, she huddled her charges around the stove and awaited the pleasure of the storm I king. Its furious work came soocer sbas was expected. The terrific gale, sweeping everything before it, stru.k the building anu carried away, in the twiuk-ing of an eje, theentire roof of the structure, leaving the frightened little ones expoerd to the ele- ments. The time for prompt action had arrived, but the plucky teacher was e<jaal lo the emergency. Taking the yaungest and frailest of her charge in her arms, she tied the remaining end of the twine around ber own body, and with all the words of en- couragement she could muster the ccurageous teacher sarted with her ' team " of frightened little ones into the fury of the storm. Those who have braved the terrors of a Nebraska bitzzard need nut be lold thai it required coaiatce to enable a young girl to breast those (ones, having in her keeping the hves of thirte«;a little ones aud the happiness of thirteen hcmee. Those who (ell and sneered from lh« effects of Thirsdiy s storm need not be tcld that the act of that young girl was one from which strong men mitbt .jaail. Selecting her way carefully, following the course cf the storm, the brave girl led her litt'.e charges throu«i,h snow. drifts and blinding blizzard, nowcau- tiouing them about their stepe.uowencour- a..'.ngibem So cheerfulness, and all the way t.ersclf bearing an additional burden of somebody's darling, urging them into re- newed efforts. And thus it was iba*. after a wearisome j-oumey of three .juarters jf a mile, through all the fury a storm coalu muster, the little baud reached the tbres bcid of a farm house, where she received a hearty welcome. Al the house where they found shelter one of the children made its home, and if the eyes cf a loving mother tilled with teani as she pressed her little one 10 her heart they were not dried when she gave to the brave voung teacher aucni- braee lu which was embodied all the love and gratitude wichm s tcocDer's heart.
