Snowfall cripples Chicago Railways.

The heaviest snowstorm this winter visit
ed Chicago Sunday morning, and by night
four inches of snow covered the ground. A
high wind that blew all day drove the snow
into drifts, necessitating the use of snow
plows on several of the railroads running
out of Chicago The storm also played
havoc with the schedules of the street car
lines throughout the city. Snow plows and
scrapers were run over the surface lines at
intervals of an hour. but despite these eff
forts to keep the tracks clear the best that
many of the street car companies could pro-
vide was about half the usual service.
A heavy snowfall also prevailed through
out the states of Wisconsin, Illinois, Mis-
souri,, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota and the
northwestern part of Indiana.
Pittsburg was the coolest spot on the
government weather map yesterday, but
last night the thermometer had risen to %.
For the first time this season ice closed the
local rivers at many points.

More Room Needed.

More Room Needed.
Regarding the extension of the accommo-
dations for the department the Postmaster
General says:
There is urgent necessity for increased
Office accommodation for the department.
The city post office building in which the
Post Office Department is now quartered is
entirely inadequate for the double purpose
to which it has been devoted. consequently
large part of the business of the general
post office has to be conducted in rented
buildings, not fireproof widely separated
from the main office, and rented at great
cost Considerations of economy, as well
as due regard for the orderly and eXpedi-
tious conduct of the public business, de-
mand prompt action for relief. Initial steps
to meet this requirement were taken by
Congress in passing an act approved March
3, 1909 looking toward the purchase of the
block Immediately south of the present de-
partment building, for the purpose of erect
ing thereon an annex, but no steps have yet
been taken to acquire title to the ground re-
ferred to. L respectfully urge that this
should be done without further delay.
Increase in Business.
A comparison of the domestic business of
the department for 1904 with 1903 shows
that there We're 4,450,S73 more domestic
orders issued than in 1903; there were 3,699.-
$40 more domestic orders paid and repaid
than in 1903; the amount of orders issued,
viz, 1878, 77S,4SS represents an increase of
$25, $50 $40; the amount of orders paid and
repaid viz, $37S,511 401, represents an in
crease of $50, 33S, 0S6; the amount received
in fees was $685. 17 more than in 1903; the
average fee was 006 OF a cent below the
average of 1908, and the average amount
of a domestic order issued viz, S7.52, rep
resents decrease of IL cents.
International Business.
Comparisons of the international business
between the same periods show that in 1904
there were 294 1875 more orders issued; there
were 161 ,692 more orders paid and repaid;
the amount of orders ISSUED, viz. 5000,
$50, represents an increase of 81 215; the
amount of orders paid and repaid, viz. S13-
800, 459. represents an increase of S1,6l9,-
SS6: the amountsreceived in fees was SI3.539
more than in 1903; the average fee, which
was 1856 cents, increased the average of
1903 by oil of a cent, and the average
amount of an international order issued,

A CRAFTY CLIENT.


Lawyers are always considered sharp

an attorney in C., did special honor to
this reputation. lie not only managed. by
various shrewd ideas, to turn the scales
in his favor, but his qnickness and skill in
protiting by every change in the situation
made him the terror of his opponents,
However. this clever man was once out

intellectually "hoored," in fact, TO the
great glee Of his enemies. 1t happened In
his way
About three miles from town lived q
miller named Smith. who also did a little
farming. lie was regarded as half sim
new Inventions which he introduced into
his business, and as they generally proved
useless he Mt last became perfect laugh
Ing stock. but this gave him no concern.
Whenever anything new was advertised. he
was sure to buy 1t.
So he with many others, became
the dupe of the tempting advert isement OF
a grain dealer, who offered a new kind Of
rape seed guaranteed TO produce an as
ionishing quantity.
The peculiar qualities Of the seed. how
ever. seemed to be confined to not coming
up at all, The buyers went to the grain
| dealer but he shrugged his shoulders. de-
| claring that he didn't make the seed and
had nothing more to do with the matter
Most Of them accepted the reply, went
home, and, as there was still time to dc

comrades did not resent the preference dis
played in his favor by the girls and wo-
