It has been estimated that the roads
running into New York city, and their
tributaries are short at least 10000
cars. An official OF the New York
Central said that their road could use
to excellent advantage 1000 box cars
II they were to be had. and the Lack
awanna, the Lehigh, the Erie, the
Pennsylvania and other roads were
all ~telegraphing and telephoning to
other roads to see II they could not
borrow a few hundred cars to carry
them through the present rush. The
western lines are in as bad a
plight at present.

A privilege enjoyed by girls who
marry officers of the Brigade of
Guards is that of being married in
the chapel in the enclosure at We'll

French meteorologis,s have worked

100 years. In April, 1903, the cutters
were frozen and snow fell in Paris.
In April, 1903, the price of wood rose
and people died Of cold in the streets,

There is snow at Versailles and We

Oh! here, beneath this roof of green,
throw me down and dream again
The golden dreams of what has been
And future harvests yet to gain!
The wheat waves In the field close by,
An apple, ripened ere Its time,
Drops from the tree, the suns great eye
Seeks through the leaves, and, as
rhyme,
The birds weave to and fro and sing
The very songs ! would declare,
And now and then the branches swing
Stirred gently by a wandering air
The binders, clicking in the wheat,
The whistle Of a passing train,
The distant noises Of the street,
Are to my song low refrain.
To-day! To-day / rest at ease
And pick the golden fruits that grow
In solitude on twigs of peace
The fruits that only dreamers know.
