Appeal from Grenada says: The ap-
peals for nurses to-day, which could not be
answered, were hesrt-rending. Whole
families are down without soul to aid
them. Fifty brave nurses on duty have
more than an average of two patients
apiece, yet they do not flag in their
duty. Abundant supplies of provisions
from neighboring towns come in daily,
and funds are now being received quite
literally. Good nurses are the great
need.

How do you get along?" said a
wife to her husband, in the midst OF
the panic. "Oh, 1 shall weather the
storm, but wish had a few hun
dred dollars more" "Don't you wish
you had married a rich wife ?" said she,
in teasing tone; then going to her
room, she returned with rather more
than the amount required in United
States bonds. "Why, where in the
world did you get .this?" said the
husband. "Well, my dear, you went
to champagne supper seven years
ago. aud on your return, finding nav.
igation around the room rather diff
ficult, deposited hat, shoes, gloves,
and large roll OF bills on the carpet.
1 put the money away and waited
three weeks for you to inquire IL 1
mad seen 1t, when, finding you were
ashamed to do so, I invested, and
here you have It," The moral is
well, we don't know what it is, unless
that IL you will get drunk and lose
your money, do 1t at home under the

sQUAw WINTER.
The Indian Female on Flying Visit to
this Section.

The Indian Female on Flying Visit to
this Section:
lFrom indianapolis journal of Wednesday,
"Squaw winter" with all the name
implies, is upon us. Yesterday morn
ing, dreary, drizzling rain began
falling. chilly at first. and growing
colder, until the middle OF the after.
noon, when a freezing temperature
was reached. and the air was filed
with snow. 1t was a raw, comfort
less. dispiriting day. 1t knocked the
poetry Of the @sere and yellow leaf.
and the dropping nut, when "all the
winds are still" into smithereens; and
mems thoughts dropped to wood piles
and coal iins. A melancholy Jacques
could find much material upon which
to moralize in day like yesterday.
How suggestive its abrupt ending of
the sunny fall weather. of the sudden
coming OF disappointments upon
hopeful and cheerful lives. How
many persons with hearts full OF ex-
pectation, and buckets full Of min
nows, stood by blazing CRATES yester-
day, and looked out upon the storm
and growled: mo more fishing this
season." How many maidens sighed
over beautiful leaves still ungather-
ed, as they heard the call: Here,
Mary Ann, come and help put up thie
stove," instead OF the expected invi-
tation from John Henry to go to the
woods. They mourn not only the
loss of the beautiful leaves, but also
the beautiful possibilities that might
have been gathered with them. The
day was dark and dreary, but the sun
went down at last with an open smiI-
ing face, surrounded by rosy clouds,
giving promise of more sunshine
hereafter. If. in the morning, one
could have looked through the gloom
OF the day to the bright sunset beyond,
the intervening hours would have
seemed brighter and more cheerful.
But people never try to look beyond
discomforting things. They imagine
that all or life is within sight, and en-
joy its brightness or growl at its
gloom "Squaw winter" always pre-
cedes Indian summer" BY the way,
why is it not "Indian winter" and
"squsw summer?" Why is all un-
pleasantness given the feminine gen.
der? Is mankind trying to get even
with Eve? But Indian summer Is al
most come. Let the fisherman save
his minnows, and the maiden dream
on Of gathering leaves and roping IN
John Henry. The snow OF yesterday
was only in the air. The earth is
still warm, and hearts need never
grow cold. Indian summer is almost
come, and next month the legal
blockade against quail shooting will
be raised. Up. boys. and at 'em.
