Great Suffering Reported in tho Snow.

mo words OF mine can picture the terrible
condition of affairs in that locality. Beardsley

miles west Of Graceville and some seven
miles east Of Browns Valley, the terminus
OF the Browns Valley division of
the Manitoba railroad. We ore right
there on the open prairie, without q
stick OF timber within reach Of u.s. And yet we
have managed to pull through since December
81, on which date the railroad company brought
In two cars Of wood and one OF coal. Since
then we have not seen railroad train. We
have been practically cut OF from all communi-
eaton with the rest Of the world. Mail is q
luxury we have not dreamed OF for weeks
But this is minor consideration when tell
you that for week before left there was not

whole region and not drop of OH. BY unit

together, huddled up like sheep, and by gen.
erous use Of blankets and robes kept q little
life in us. There have been but three deaths
from freezing
We can rightfully blame the Manitoba rail-
road of6oials for all the suffering, In December
the track was clear, and previously big orders
had been sent in for wood and coal. There were
seventy cars stde-tracked at Morris which
the ofhcials would not bring to Beardsley
although we begged 1t almost on our knees.
The company claimed that there were NO en-
gines to spare. Then came the blizzard of
December 2& ind since then we have been
fairly out Of the world. The track from
Morris to Browns Valley is hardly moro

have been in use eighteen. years, and no
sane engineer dares to drive his train
over fifteen miles an hour in midsummer; and
as for using snow-plow it is out OF the aues-
ton, Fortunately we have had plenty of rro-
visions, aud, by reason Of q generous supply of

condition. 49, =

terms with everybody, and she usually
is. She always feels grieved when any
words of hers have caused trouble, and
always winds up her regret with: Il
declare, l shan't repeat another thing,
for my tongue always runs away with
me. l just feel like biting tout" This
resolution doesn't last long, and in
little while she has done more mischief
with her thoughtless remarks, and so
she continues and will continue, for it
is as natural for her to talk as it is for
her to eat. A woman of this kind is
hard to match. She isso perfectly free
from any intention of creating trouble,
that person is apt to be careless in
what they say before her, even though
she may have unintentionally made
trouble many time.
1t is too, bad that such women as
these should come between either
friends or relatives with stories to sep
arate them. Whether Intentionally told
or thoughtlessly told, unless the relater
is trustworthy, they should never for q
moment be given a thought Treat
them all with an utter ind Herence, and
they will very soon die out. When the
professional trouble-maker finds you
are indifferent to her tales she will soon

concerned, her; occupation viii be gone.

crude ammonia that is sold for cleaning
