And Psopls SILVER With the Cold-A Lively Snow
Sorm-PrOspecs for the Ice
Crop.

The occasionsl merry jingle OF sleigh
bells could he heard last night, but while

Summer night this winter and had become

and from light sprinkle it became heav-
Ter and heavier until at dark the old lady

In the country the too ambitious peach
bud had It's aspirations nipped, leaving
them bud little faded flowers.
AL day the ice men smiled as they

The natural gas was very backward
about coming forward yesterday ard pec-
ole about tia central portion of the city,
especially, were compelled to wear gloves,
oyergaiters and overc0ats while working
in their offices. Bat as tde day wore on
toward evening and the factories, school
