All night the wind thrust It's icy fingers into the
freess home Of many family in this city, 20 full OF
suffering poverty, where mother and child'en piled
the needle In cold rooms till midnight bells sent their
peas away spon the wind blowing toward warmer
cline. All day Saturday how shivered though

snow lay cold and drear and here in the city the wind
