tors from the ice-bound regions OF the
North have been holding high carni-
val in our little city with thermometer
10 below zero, until this morning when
they very reluctantly took their leave.
The tears of Joy that were shed over
their departure came from no one
nose

canine species should suffer so. The
bowling, kept up all night, did not
annoy us, but our sympathetic heart
that would not allow us to sleep while

desire to spread boot-jack over his
shivering form. Howl you feel to find
; him dead.
