MR.. AND MRS. BowsER.
Mrs. Bowser's Warning to Young Women
Contemplating Marriage.

And there are other things about Mr..
Bowser which the public ought to know, ana
which | am determined to hold up as solemn
warning to such young women as may be
thinking OF marriage
For one thing, Bowser doesn't treat the
baby right. For the first few weeks he made
a great fuss over it, and one little squeal AT
midnight would bounce him out OF bed,
ready to go for a doctor, without taking tiine

The other night poor baby had the COLO or
some other ailment, and 1t cried Steadily

I've lived with Bowser GOOD many years,
but never knew him in his true iSht until
that night. He went Off down stars, built
roaring fire. heated the tea kettle full OF
water and he brought that uD in one hand
the sugar box IN the other, and the pepper
mint in his pocket, and sat them down on
the floor, and said:
"Thcre, now, either cure or kill him, but
don't bother me any more"

THE FIRST SNOW.
A Slight storm at First, But it RACES All
Day.


YESTERDAY about 1890 o'clock when the
almost imperceptible flakes of snow be-
gan to fall no one imagined that one Of
the most severe early winter storms on
record had begun.
Slowly it descended at first but by noon
it began to get down to its work fine, and
those at first who said it was snow matter
bean to realize their mistake. The
weather indications for fair, warmer
weather were soon knocked into cooked
hat, and still the fleecy flakes in virgin
whteness came pitilessly down, and by 3
o'clock the earth was covered to a depth
of an inch or more. The falling snow
flakes did not prevent a very good at
tendance both at the ~"ROsedale' and
"Crazy Patch matinees.
At 5 o'clock the storm took fresh
hold, and from that hour out it came in
torrents so to speak. The City Railway
had out its plough at an early hour and
struggled manfully, but it was no use.
After nightfall the cars were moved with
difficulty -Four, and in some instance,
six horses were required to pull one
coach, and about $50 the order went
round the lines to tie up and run in. This
is official ! reporter Of THE TINES,
who was verdant enough to pay visit
to the West End, walked at $50 from
Morton's flower garden to the office, and
knows whereof he speaks
The thermometer during the day stood
in the twenties but as there was but little
wind it was not extremely cold
The last cars up were drawn by six
horses, and the snow plough was in front
This is the first very big snow in
early December in many years. Last
year and in 1884, December 4th, was
clear and not very cold
At one o'clock it was still showing, and
had been almost continually since 1890
yesterday morning. The depth Of snow
was from four TO five inches
