Senator Pritchard did not attend the
Republican State Convention. The
reason which one Republican gave for
his absence is unique. He said the
Senator had promised SO many men
office and SO many had failed to get
the places that he feared to meet this
''legion of the disappointed, y and that
the convention contained many of this
class OF men who failed.

CAPE GOD sANDsToRms.
Far More Dreaded Than Are the
Western plizzarda.

Western Dlizzards.
The blizzard is an unknown quantity
IN Massachusetts,, but in the vicinity OF
Cape Cod they have substitute which
is nearly as bad--in fact, the inhabi-
tants dread it more than the people Of
the west fear the blizzard These are
the sanGstorms which blow over that
remarkable arm of lands. When tho
wind blows in gale from the north
east the soft, light sand drifts in i'm
menEe clouds, completely obscuring all
objects around further than ten feet
away. Il is worse than snow in many
respects. 1t not only covers up thoroad
or trail in short time, but 1t changes
the general features OF tho landscape
permanently. People get lost in the
sandstorms, and often, when tho storm
subsidies, the landscape is so altered
that they are bewildered and puzzled In
trying TO locate their homes
The sand may not DO as freezing cold
as the snow, but 1t is far more INJURIOUS.
It cuts and grinds the face as il strikes
II, and performs about the same opera
tion as a sandhlast. Men who have been
lost out In tho furious sandstorms and
members Of tho life-saving patrol have
returned home at night with their faces
laeerated ard discoiored SO that they
resembled raw beef. Even the glass
windows Of the houses are so ground by
the flying sand that they have TO be re-
placed often by new ones. After one
heavy storm It Is almost impossible to
see through the glass. People now shut
the blinds Of the houses facing the
wind during sandstorms in order to
save the glass. No man can face the
sand clouds and endure the pain long.
As the prevailing sea winds are from
the northeast on the cape, the sand
dunes are drifting steadily and persist
entity toward Proyincetown. Province
town owns its existence to-day to wise
laws which empowered beach grass
committee" to enter any mans inclosed
garden or field and plant marram grass
If the sand was uncovered or movable.
