Somebody left the wash hanging ont
ON south Main street Saturday, Not
on the street, that is, but ON the little
business in the yard, and yesterday il
was sight to behold. The wind had
| so twisted things and the frost HAD
frozen them together so hard, that il
was difficult to tell what was what. II
| Will take mathematician TO get them
separate.
The drift in front of the Lincoln
! House is the best representation of
what the wind can do with snow m
| that section. 1t reaches from the
ground nearly to the top of the piazza,
! and has very symmetrical shape
! Myrtle and Walnut streets look like
! parts of storm tossed sea. or like so
many Titanic feather-beds thrown
/ down prOmiscuOusly. To look up Wal
nut street, resembles looking up badly
made toboggan slide after an earth
/ quake.
About 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon
| the few people on Main street were
rather surprised to see two riders
mounted upon up-to-date bicycles ride
| through the street and turn down Front
street towards the Union station. The
scorchers seemed to experience little
! difficulty with the snow, and for short
! time were a star attraction.
one of the most peculiar feats Of the
storm was the building of natural forth
| tications around the state armory A
large drift of snow extending across the
entire front of the armory and reach
ing nearly to the windows on the
| ground floor, gave the building a very
Warlike appearance.
! Two men drawing a boys sled, to
! which was strapped a big Saratoga
trunk, entered the Union station during
the afternoon 1t was a funny sight
But what could the poor men do? They
| had to move their trunk and they
could not get it moved. They were not
| to blame
R. c. Taylor and his son, r. F. Tay-
Tor, took a turn down to the Union sta
ton yesterday afternoon in Mr. Tay-
lor's heavy yellow democrat 1t was
too short a turn, however, and Mr. Tay-
Tor, father and son, came within an ace
! of being turned out. OF course a big
drift of snow and d lively horse was
the combination that came so near
working havoc
Cinnamon don't like cold weather
| Neither do they like to let u Sunday go
by without going out TO call upon
their brothers and discuss the laundry
| business of the past week. Between
the two, the Cinnamon would rather
go out than skip their calls for a
week. In consequence, many of the
seemingly lightly clad celestials We're
to be seen shutting along the partially
shoVeled streets Sunday afternoon. Ev-
erybody pitied them, but then China
men are hardy creatures.
It was a case of walk or stay at home
| all along the line yesterday. In CON
sequence, walking was fashionable
and many a man who usually rides i'm
his own carriage "hoofed" it along and
said nothing, but he mentally rejoiced
that it did not happen every day.
| Comfort and convenience by unani-
nous consent of all the parties inter
| ested gave way to style yesterday.
That was why Edward Raymond one
of the Adams Express Company's de
pot men, wore pair of meal bags tied
about his feet down at the station.
! yesterday afternoon.
! Whoever named Winter street knew
| his business. One did not need to
| glance down that alley more than once
| to know that it had been showing and
showing hard. Likewise, one knew,
without the aid of any weather vane,
that it had been blowing and blowing
hard. There was pleanty Of snow on
Winter street on the level in spots
there were drifts.
Sunday is generally a banner day

a big business at the Star lunch, at the
| Creamerie and at Parker's. Yesterday,
| however, was an exception to the rule.

might gang'-those whose business
calls them out at night every night in
the year-were the only feeders.
The telephone and telegraph wires
did not assume the size of cables yes
terday. Many of them, however, bore

The big advertising banner in front of
Pinkham G. Willis store broke from
it's mornings early Sunday morning
All day it fiipped-fapped in the Klon-
dixie breeze.
Did you have your usual supply of
milk yesterday? If so, it is either one
of two things. Your millIman deserves
a medal for his faithfulness and enter
prise; or else you do not take milk.
There isn't likely to be the regulation
