The public was not re- pared for this and as a consequence many wondered what was the trouble with their faucets this mcrning. First they suspected that the reser- vOir had given out, but upon second thought they reccllected that Jacl; Frost was around and made up th,' minds that nothing short of visit from the plumber would start the water again The boss plumbers ,x- pected this and made preparation to meet the demand that would be made upon them for help, out one of them forgot to attend to his own faucets and when he went 10 his shop this morning everything was frozen tight and he needed nearly all his own help for the greater portion of Ire forenoon.

If yor think this too much trouble. keep the | furnace in good working order rad | you will have no occasion to bother
