Yesterday. Il was noticeable that during
The forenoon the clerk worked the card him
self on those who came in and made the
usual remarks about the weather. In the
afternoon. however. il required too much
time 10 fash II on all inQuireTs. and the
clerk hired boy 10 stand by il. In the
evening he turned the card so that il could

People were more eXcusable in talking than
usual. for the snOWstOrm which began here
on Monday night was still in session yeSter-
dav. and from morning until night II RACED
with greater OF less violence. At times il
was impossible 10 tell Just whether snow
was falling OF not. the wind was 50 violent
and the snow 50 dry and daky. The fall
was about twelve inches. but the wind was
50 heavy that II was piled in drifts many
feet high in places. While the ground was
swept bare n other spots. 1t was the first
snow of the season. and was a beautiful
omen Of what this carnival climate Is capa-
bic OF when The occasion comes. As men
TONED above. this was the first snow OF the
season and was accompanied by its usual
horrors. Old inhabitants gathered on

and if one were 10 shut his eyes and listen

weather that made the jinglng on the cut

the chestnut bell. The storm was one OF
The most severe that was ever known in
this civ al this season Of the year. The
only thing that saved the city from all the
horrors of a blizzard was the fact that the
temper2ture was comparatively mild. Snow

and hacks Many sWOTe. and said the
blockade was due 10 the fact that Tom
Lowry was in Europe. If he had been
here be would have had cars running. AL
day long squads OF men and boys. with
snow ShOvelS On their shoulders. paraded
the streets and raked in here and there a
dime by scraping the snow from the walk
in front OF res dences and stores. The snow
was a gOjSend 10 them. and the wind. in a
favorable mood. continually blew the snow
back soon after they had once removed it.
VERY few ladies were on the streets. The
snowStorm has many drawbacks in this
climate. Ii makes men unhappy and dis
contented. and gives them wrong ideas Of
life. One of the ways ID which this crops
out is in the tendency OF the ladies to walk
through the snow. Sweet girls from Sum-
NIT avenue were 10 be seen on the streets

But the storm also Redeemed the cheeks Of

were long on UObOggan suits and short on

shoes were particularly happy yesterday.
