The Snow and the Traction Company

The snow storm creates this morning
conditions against which no ordinary
human energies could make provision.
When the steam railroads are tied up, it
is marvel that the trolley cars are able
to move at all. They did move this morn
people who wanted to use them, though
it is true they moved slowly and at long
intervals. If they did not move at all,
criticism would be disarmed by the con-
ditfons That they did more is an exploit
calling for liberal praise.
The Traction Company, besides, did the
public a great service in opening the
streets. Had it not been for their ploughs
and sweepers, not a wheeled vehicle could
have moved, and walking beyond a few
blocks would have been too difficult for
any but athletes to practice it. But the
car tracks were opened and kept open,
and everybody used them, pedestrians and
drivers, and thus communication from end
to end of the city was quite easily main
tanned.
This is a service of real value-none the
less value because it is not in the every
day province of the company, It's inn
portance may best be gauged by the de-
mand on the coal dealers, which kept
them and their wagons busy all day. If
the car tracks had not been clear, they
simply could not have met the demands
on them, and incalculable loss and suffer
ing would have resulted.

Alfonso, at the age of thirteen, is war
rior. The recent terrible defeat of Spain
has been kept from him, except in gen
eral way, and he still believes that Spain
is the greatest country in the world on
land and sea. Since he has heard so much
war talk he has insisted on forming
company of his own in the grounds of the
palace. Each day at the close, of his les
sons he amuses himself by having his
guards form a company and then he drills
them. The time for the drill Is placed at at
one hour. but in the enthusiasm OF the
little warrior he lengthens it to an hour
and half, until the guards begin to show W
WEAKNESS. On a recent occasion, wishing
to stop the mimic performance and not
daring to interrupt their Kings sport,
one of the guards fell to the ground in a
faint Alfonso sprang to the side of the
PROSTATE fellow while the other guards
brought water. Then the King shouted
''Dismissed!" and there was great scat
tering. in which the sick guard suddenly
recovered. 1t will not be difficult to instill
warlike ideas into the youthful mind of
Alfonso, for he cares for nothing but war.
