SUNDAYS STORM.
Peculiar Combination of Snow, Hail,
Thunder and Lightning.

1he storm which ragged all day Sum
day was Il worthy product OF a freak
winter. 1t began. Saturday night, with
little snow fiurries that failed TO con-
vince many that they We're to be fol-
lowed by any great amount of snow.
Yet everyone hoped that there would
be snow and were not 50 very particu-
lar about the amount. A foot would
DO very well but several feet would not
be objected to very seriously. Every
one vas tired of pounding around over
ice and bare roads and wanted them
covered up.
When people pulled back the shades
frcm their windows. Sunday morning,
they at once decided that the pastors
sermon would not be so very interest
inG that day and that they really ought
to stay at home and rest up anyway
II was just the kind OF a Sunday when
the home and fireside are appreciat ted
and when the business man settled
down with his cigar and Sunday paper
he was satisfied to let others make
tracks on the sidewalks.
The snow that was falling was of just
about the right quality, damp and
heavy. But the quantity was not very
encouraging. The air seemed to be toll
erably full of it but the ground was not
covered very rapidly Still during the
afternoon there was good prospect of
some good sleighing. Then the damp
ness began to increase until the falling
substance was nothing more than hail.
1t also looked as If this would soon
change to rain and that the good work
OF the night and forenoon would be lost.
So when bedtime rolled around again
it was doubtful whether it would be
wheels or runners in the morning.
The Electrics We're more or less both

The trains on the Maine Central came
in on time. looking as if they had been
run through a snow tunnel while the
roof caved in. The engines had some
fantastic decorations in white and
there was plenty of ice here and there.
Piow trains were lodging up and down
the line to keep the snow where it could
be handled. a big storm had been ex
pected for some time and it didn't do to
take many chances. hence everything
was Kept i'll readiness for the big one
