every street is blocked with fallen
trees, telephone poles and tangled
wires. The sleet continued without
cessation yesterday and last evening

like cannonading. The mayor ordered
all electric currents, except those
supplying street car lines, which are
vet open, cut off for safety. EIeva-

Sbe Shiniest Dime.

One little girl had five little dimes;
She had counted them good many times,
And again and again she had left her play
To plan how to spend them for Christmas Day.
For papa and mama and baby boy
And grandma and grandpa would all enjoy
Her little gifts as much score
OF other presents that cost far more.
-Four of the dimes dull and old,
But shining and new, I'm told;
And the little girl said to friend,
"This Is almost too pretty to spend"
At last the Christmas shopping was done;
The dimes spent, yes, every one;
And Annette seemed the happiest girl alive
As she hurried home with her parcels five.
She had secret for mothers ear,
81 bought nice present for papa dear,
And for grandpa and grandma and baby, too;
But spent the shiniest dime for you!
