One Summer Day.

A butterfly the wild rose wooed.
And loves sweet story told;
He drank the perfume of her lips,
And kissed her heart of gold.

But ah. he stole her kisses
Then he passed the rosebud by.
He stole her kisscS-then, alas
He bade the rose good-by!

Worst Storm of the Season.

The storm which broke over his sec
tion of the country Tuesday mornirg,
continued uninterr uptedly until near
ly noon on wednesday, then Increased
to [, nf1ld fury. In short time the
worst blizztrd Of the seIsOu was rag
ing. As the winl gat a. red strength,
mercury droppe several degrees TIE
cold penetrated through the clothes of
the heaviest clad person, aud tn tre-
mendou- gale cut like a II fe.
The snow was carried in binding
sheets along the streets. AT time one
could not possibly see a dozen yards
ahead, aud again people would he COM
PEELED 10 turn their backs to & e storm
until the worst had pissed. Some pol
tions of tie thoroughfares were swept
bare of snow, and others piled high
with the light, fieecy substance.
Goods displayed in front of business
places received the full force OF the
blast. Light articles were scattered
along sidewalks; heavier ones covered
with snow. Drifting snow filed the
beatened tracks along the streets, and
made travelling hard.
This was bad enough in town, but
out in the rural districts, where the
wind had a clear sweep for miles and
nothing to break its force, the fury OF
the blizzard was much worse. The
| lanes and nar1ows became badly drift
ed and in places impossible.
Passenger trains on the railroads
pa sing through this city, notwlth,
standing the fury of the gale, managed
10 arrive on fairly good IT,, being
only from 10 to 20 minutes late. 1t the
blizzard continues, though, the train
men expect to meet with worse OBJ
structlons today than they did yester'
day, in the way of drifts.
