figures on the rainfall of last week to
settle the discussion that has prevailed
in town since then as to the actual
amount Of water that fell during the
various storms. Mr.. Simmons replied
that according to his measurement

accurate. 2.04 inches fell between Sun

Y , ESTElIDAY morning as I rode
" down in an open car, I sat next
TO man and his little girl
Judging from her speech, 4
should say the child was about four
years old. but II I hadn't heard her
talk should have said she was not
more than two. For she wss very tiny
and frail. There simply wasn't any
flesh on her-just skin drawn over the
fragile bones. In her msager face her
eyes stood out big and plaintive.
Now. you probably remember that
1t was very cool yesterday morning,
although the sun was shining. I had
my coat buttoned up tight in the car,
and even then when 1t got to going
fast and the breeze became proper
tionately strong 1 regretted I hadn't
waited for a closed car. The little
child's father also seemed 10 feel the
weather, for after a while he buttoned
up his warm coat. Then he bent down
and kissed the little one, gazing at her
IN a way that made me know his heart
was wrapped up in his child.
Yet, would you believe II. that child
had a lawn dress so sheer It could not
be considered any covering at ali for
her puny body. Instead OF stockings
she had on socks, and also slippers In
stead OF shoes.
She wes without a wrap OF any kind,
