Jersey Swept BY Blizzard.
Trenton, N. J.. Feb. 18.-Advices re-
ceived from points in New Jersey
show that the great blizzard has been
felt from Bergen county to Cape May,
and from Atlantic City to Camden. The
latest advices are that last evening
the storm abated, the snow having
ceased to fall and the wind having
decreased in velocity. AS was natural,
the brunt Of the gale, which approach
ed the dimensions of a hurricane, was
felt by the seacoast towns, but the
interior cities and towns did not es-
cape. Travel by road was almost i'm
possible; cities and villages not pro
vided with large gangs Of street clean
ers gave up the battle against the
driving snow early in the day; the rail
roads were enabled to move trains by
the free use Of snow plOws. and street
car traffic all over the state was
stopped until the sweeping machines
and plows cleared the tracks.

THE MAN WHO FIGHTS ALONE

The fellow who fights the fight alone,
With never word Of cheer,
With never friend his help to lend,
With never a cOmTade near
5Tis he has need of a stalwart hand
And a heart not given to moan
He struggles for life and more than
life,
The fellow who fights alone!
The fellow who fights the world alone
With never a fathers smile,
With never mothers kindly tone
His sorrowful hours to guile,
Who joins the fray at the dawn of
day
And battles till light is flown.
Must needs be strong, for the fight
is long,
The fellow who fights alone!
All! bitter enough the combat is
With every help at hand,
With friends at need to bidgodspeed,
With spirits that understands;
But fercer far is the fight to one
Who struggles along unknown
Oh, brave and grim is the heart Of
him,
The fellow who fights alone!
God bless the fellow who fights alone,
And arm his soul with strength
Till safely out of the battle rOut
He conquering comes at length,
Till far and near into every ear
The fame of his fight is blown,
Till friend and foe in the victC know
rhe fellow who fights alone!

He did not observe her presence
at the moment, but there was a
dainty, petite and dashing young
woman at his elbow, and she was
quick to catch the situation. She
had an umbrella, and in mlschleV-

the Young man, as if to shelter him
somewhat The water dripping from
the tilted edge of the umbrella
reused the absent-minded young
man from his reverie, and he was
shocked when he found thrt ne was
