YESTERDAY MORNINGS BLOW.
A Stiff NOrther and u Heavy Down
pour of Rain.

Yesterday morning about ) o'clock a
stiff norther swooped down upon the city,
banging window blinds and shaking up
things generally.
Timid people, alarmed, hurriedly
dressed and peered out, only to become
more alarmed as they saw the whirling
mass of clouds that seemingly in great
glee were pouring out torrents of water.
The wind and rain lasted about thirty
minutes, and during that time it was
strictly business with both.
No serious damage was done. and after
awhile the glad sunshine fell like a man
tie of beauty over the drenched earth
and people who had been scared half to

had been as self-possessed as a $2-a-day
