II Poured Water for rev Minutes Free
From wind.

From Wind.
The storm last evening brought terror
to good many breasts. 1t had an omi-
nous look as it marshalled its pluvial
forces in the zenith and those who
watched it's rapid progress had good rea-
son to expect the usual wind storm from
the collision of the two columns, one
from the northwest and the other from
the southeast. But the energy OF all this
angry contention was spent in rain, a
pouring, dashing rain that filed the
streets with water and drenched the
wavfarer to the skin in less
than five minutes. As the rain came
about o'clock, it caught hundreds Of
men and women going home from their
work. Groups Of wet pedestrians gath
cred wherever an awning spread its
kindly shelter aud scanned the horizon
closely for the first indication Of a break
in the deluge In fifteen minutes it was
all over and then the drenehed people
went home and changed their clothes,
grateful that the elements contented
themselves with rain merely and did not
repeat the violence of ten days before.
