that she made his life miserable with
her demands for his property. her out
bursts of temper, and her Ats of hys-

Billiards seem to be quite the fash

trolters were not much surprised
Wednesday morning. when they
awoke to find an old-fashioned how
Ter" accompanied by heavy snow. ca
vorting through the streets. The snow
was OF the fine. sifty variety
and. finding It's way into the grooves
of the street car tracks. caused street
car men no end OF trouble. Service
on all the city lines was badly inter
rupted for a time, but ID. u. X. OH.
Gals say they can cope with the sit

The suburban cars were running on
schedule outside the city, but are de
layed within the city limits, Just as
the city cars are.
Early Wednesday afternoon the
snow turned into sleet and the little,
Icy pellets, as round as shot and as
hard, beat with singing force into the
faces OF pedestrians. causing no end
Of annoyance and physical discomfort.
The sleet also made walking difficult.
The mercury jumped from 10 de-
grees at Z o'clock a. m. to Il degrees
at / o'clock, which accounts for the
sleet, and Forecaster Thompson says
there is a possibility that the sleet
may change to rain before the day is
