Short Interviews With Prominent
Citizens.
The city fathers have built or caused
to be built snow pillow, which made
its appearance on our streets this week.
This is what Yale has long needed and
will be appreciated by all who travel
our thoroughfares, as many of our
citizens are somewhat lax in cleaning
the snow off their walks. The afore-
said pillow is not altogether success
but is being improved upon from time
to time as the defects become known
and we expect to soon have a complete
rig in good working order. Below we
give few short interviews of some of
our prominent citizens in regard to the
matter, also short poem which was
left in our item box.

it on the sidewalk is to nail it there"

THAT'S 40 PLow.
The municipal snow-plow. drawn by II horse,
Made its appearance last night,
IL cuts quite "A swath long. crooked and twisted,
While the town looks as though she d been
recently visited
BY "a mammoth sea serpent
Whose trail doth appear
Back and forth, cross the walks.
In the ditch and the rear
OF all the large snow banks Icy and white.
She's u daisy. The pet of our dear city dads
The pride Of tn inventor,
Built on the lines of n corn cultivatOr,
But like the writer Of this. it's callings mo go"
One can't push the pen, 'tother can't shovel
snow.
