HANDS AND RAlNo'
fling Line of Clear
WASTED.

M, fbe a phrase common
n rIraI coS Sunities, says the Boa
~ ! wa, uI"l SSn, about the wisdom y 4
'oli v s1g his head to save his
lii",l At meant that hard work is
~" Hicient to accomplish desirable
l"uEs. but that the work must be
I%ly planned; the power must be
&operly applied. 1t is remarkable
how many people remain completely
obliyious to such a simple truth as
that. They are industrious and la
borious, but they expend their physi-
cal resources in hard and wasteful
ways. They do not plan their work.
They are like a stone mason, who, de-
string 10 split rock, assailsitpromis-
cuously with tremendous blows, in
stead of spending all the time that is
needed to discover the line Of cleav-
age, after which a few strokes Of the
pick will do TN work. Some of the
most faithful am hard,working peo-
pie you know faiNust here, They
put all there is oNthenselves into
their work except Neir brains, and
when they leave out Airbrains they
doom themselves to sAety to their
tasks. The time that iApent in dis
covering the line Of cleAage is not
wasted. The man who \ studying
that out is working to the D t results;
but what a strange facilityse,e peo-
pie have for grasping a poker Nthc

EFFECTS OF STORM.

With Snow.

The effects Of the s.orm Of Monday and

business has resumed its former activity

day. breaking out the sidewalks and
streets. some of them having been gons
over six times since the storm started In

busy during the day and about all I'll,

many i'm the country. There are som'
places where it is necessary t" shovel
through the drifts and Large crews have
been at this. There was hardly an idl"

day. yesterday. the demand for men ami

roads being in a terrible condition.
This has been the hardest storm report
ed. so far, for the roofs of the Buildings.
All were loaded down heavily and with
the warm srcll at the start the cutters
filled with ice. This allowed the water TO
back in and most Of the buildings leaked
badly. From al the cutters long icicles
were seen hanging. but SO far no accident
has been reported from their falling on
pedestrians. though there have been somo
narrow escapes Where the streets haFe
been broken out the sleighinC is very faic
and with fever jounces than was expect
ed. Water streets presents very funny
sight. The snow has been shovcled off
the walks and thrown into the street in
many places and it has formed pile 81
high that it is impossible to see the op-
poste side. There are no good crossings,
either. AS soon as the streets and walks
are broken out, this surplus amount of
snow will be hauled off.
The bridge is again being used by pedcs-
trians, though the repairs are being
made. The river is not deemed safe at
the present time beldw the draw, owing
to the swift water from the stream wear
ing it away. and until sidewalk can be
constructed. the draw will have to be
used. Teams are still crossing on the ice.
the road being in good condition The
bridge will be closed to foot passengers
only for 50 short time as it IS abso-
lutely necessary.
