Tuesday blew in on top of brisk gale
irCm the northeast and escorted by smart
snow storm that seemed to want to establish
d one-night stand in the old town. BY seven
in the morning the icy roads and sidewalks
were well covered and the snow had oblig-
iuglv collected in the back yards OF men
who did not own a shovel and did not want
to use one Traffic was somewhat lmpeded
bv the large drifts, though all the milk men
managed to fulfill their engagements. The
schools did not keep, and the children de-
.ided that it was an i'll wind that blew no
body any fun. By noon the sun took hand
in the game and the snow storm called 1t
tie and retired, but the wind increased and
the mercury fell to flirting with zero in
most disgraceful fashion. Though it started
out to be genuine old-fashioned blizzard,
it thought better of it., and cleared off with
out doing any damage: and, in fact, vastly
improved the Sleghing.
