week we're quite favorable for breakup
OF respectable proportions, and it looked
one spell as though the great body of ice
in the river might go out with rain and
a rush. A cooler atmosphere, however,
had checking effect and saved the day.

There seems no doubt but that the
robins do occasionally "stav over" for
The winter, and that this is one OF the
winters in which they failed to migrate
10 southern climes. throughout the coun-
Try they have been seen in more or less
