mated in a sudden and desperate ill
ness, from which I arose enfeebIed in

me to live on cereals, but none of

I felt convinced that they We're just
what needed. and in a short time
they made a different woman of me.

was.

Snow TROUBLES i'm Rhvne.

A Jingle by Carl A. Nordlund of the gen
eral managers office OF the Rock IslanC
in Topeka. depicting the inner secrets O.
an operating officials office when thu
lines are blocked with snow:
The day is cold and dark and drear:
The snow falls fast, but fails to cheer
The Railroad man, who tries in vain
To keep biz moving on the main" -
nat Railroad life is not the best
With which a mortal may be blest
To each and every one appeals
Who, with a blizzard's tactics deals.
This morning opened bright and fair;
The atmosphere void of despair
But ere the sun had reached midway
The silver clouds obscured its ray.
The first thing on the .'Bill-of-fare":
It's nlisting here, and raining there;
The temperature is getting low.
It looks as though there might be snow
At first the dope is not so bad:
A few reports are to be had
But soon they come by threes and fours,
And, later on, by tens and scores.
It's dark;-the wind is at its height.
Ill have to miss the show tonight
I'll get the Chief Dispatcher now.
And ask him where and why and how.
The wire tells this tale of woe:-
THE rain has turned to flaky snow:
The wind has veered to the northwest;
We're in a Kansas blizzard's wrest.
All cuts are filled up to the brim:
The chances to get through are slim.
We have two engines off the track,
And can't say when will get them back.
This happened on the main line. too:
Was caused by engine dropping shoe.
The siding is Of no avail;
On it we have a broken rail.
We tied up freight trains long ago
For fear they might stall in the snow.
The Limited has just gone through
A drift that measured four feet, two.
The Fast Express is in cut.
In snow about four feet deep,-but
Their engine has not yet gone dead.
The diner running short of bread.
To their relief we sent pillow;
The west-end wedge; it's showed in"
now.
To make things worse, their engine
died
Can't help them till the winds subside
The storm is getting more severe.
The worst one we have had this year
It's blowing now with all its might,
And think it will keep up all night.
We have three trains of fancy stock;
All stalled within the nearest block.
Their rest is up at eight P M.
But, then, we just can't get to them.
And number thirteen running late,
Is stuck at Mile Post ninety-eight.
They took on coal and water;-then'
They could not get start again.
What's that you say?-You ask about
The Rotary? Oh! yes, it's out.
They left a little after ten,
But they are snow-bound near WV.
Their engine failed for lack OF steam;
The boiler has a leaky seam.
The left eccentric ripped her cogs.
We're ''hoodooed" sure; it beats the
dogs!
You ask what we will do with TO-?
We thought of detouring, but then,
Can't fix it up; all wires down.
You're on the only one in town.
You bet it is.-an awful mess.
The worst on record here. L guess.
The whole line now is blocked alright.
No prospects of relief tonight.
The wind seems now a whole lot higher.
Click Pr Click Pr Down goes the
c. DIS wire.
Well. it's no use to buck the Fates,
Wen wait until the storm abates
