The First Duty.


From the Philadelphia Press.
The United States has two duties in the
Philippines. to restore order and train the
natives in self-government. The first duty
must be completed before the second can

There are no local precedents for this
storm which has Washington in its grip.
After a week of showing and low tempera-
ture the city is visited by a blizzard which
has brought high winds and, thus far,
about sixteen inches of snow in addition.
The famous blizzard of 1883 was, locally,
not to be compared with this, as regards
continuity Of effect and persistence of at
tack. Fortunately the weather bureau sees
hope in the west, where already a rise of
ct degrees is reported in some places. This
Change will probably not reach here until
Wednesday, and until then the city will
doubtless suffer terribly. The paralysis of
almost all the street car lines, the general
blockade of the streets and the crippled
condition of the telephone service all con-
tribute to the general discomfort Even
those WHO are comfortably housed find it
difficult to reach their places of business.
If only the official forecast prove true there
will be no immediate danger from the
storm, but it is to be feared that if the re-
markabie rise in the thermometer noted In
the west should affect Washington the
chances Of a flood will become preponder-
ant. There are over thirty inches of snow
in the Potomac watershed, and fully fifteen
inches of ice in the river Itself, thus Great
ing the conditions for a freshet more
aIarmingly than ever before in the recol-
lection of the inhabitants of Washington.

Feeding the Hungry.


From the Kansas City Star.
Feeding the hungry is the most practical
of all acts of human kindness. The man
who gives his life for another may sacrifice
n more valuable life than he saves. The
man who gives money may give to the I'M
worthy, but the man who feeds the hungry
makes no mistake and does nothing quix-
otto. His act is pure good.

The Blizzard.
1t came in the night
And the stars took fright,
Sneaking,
Leering,
Shrieking
Neering,
Its step was stealthy at first, and slow,
But the sky soon echoed it's laughter low,
And it stepped forth boldly and ceased to
prowl,
And claimed its prey with exultant howl.
Like foolish rhyme
Would its cadence chime,
As the billowing wilderness would drift
and climb,
And the town lay shuddering in his grasp,
Like the deer in the anaconda's clasp.
And 1t writhes and curls,
In uncanny swirls,
And answers the shout that the north
wind hurls.
Winding,
Drifting
Binding
Shifting,
Crying with hate for us,
Beating the door.
Winding,
Drifting,
