The storm Of few weeks ago played
sad havoc in the old town. Grand old
trees we're the plsythings Of the wind
and il vented its wrath to the full. For
Q week and more after the storm the
town INDUCED in q shiug!ing bee. and
adorned is roofs with many patches.
The Institute for the Blind on the hill
north Of the city received the storm
with al its force. Windows were blown
10. the slate shingles Of the roof we're
scattered all over the grounds. the tower
was almost wrenched from it's base.
The trees which beautify the place
suffered terribly. They were mangled
and crushed; one great old pine was
torn up by the roots: and elms that
stood the storm were thrsshed 80 that
the leaves gave up life in gray despair.
Hence the strange phenomenon of
brown trees with new green spring-like
shoots on the tips of the branches.
The old town has trees. perhaps, to
spare il anv good end can be served by
the loss. But nevertheless it seems as
IL death were taking a friend when the
old trees are slaughtered so.

ist Conference we're brought together

end We mortals may not know. 1t is
probably vain to search for any moral
significance. The preachers possibly
went to the show, but it wouldn't hurt
them; the wild men probably did not
attend the conference but it might not
have helped them. Financially the
conjunction certainly had no signif-
cameo. The show took several thousand
dollars out OF the town, but the con-
ference-well, it is not the business Of q
conference to refill empty Golfers. The
