The weather of the past week has
been more or less astonishing in the
swiftness OF its changes. The rain OF
. week ago was followed by three clear
bright days, Wednesday being es.
pecially mild and pleasant. Thursday
morning the skies we're heavy and
gray and soon little gusts of snow
came down on the north wind and BY
noon everything was white. The wind
increased in strength, the temperature
dropped and at bed time that night
the swirling drifts on the cutting air
reminded US OF Whittier's "Snow.
bound" and made it look as tho winter
might really have arrived. But Fri
day morning was clear tho sharp and
BY evening the wind had set In from
the south. Saturday the balmy air
made the snow only memory but .
swift change of the wind to the north
in the late afternoon quickly froze
oyer the puddles. Sunday and Mon
day the sun shone again and the
temperature rose from zero to 43 de-
grees and with the snow gone we may
possibly enjoy q couple Of weeks more
of the delightful fall weather We have
had for nearly two months. 1t may
not be best for business but it has
certainly cut down the amount OF sick
ness and the number OF deaths that
always follow close on the heels oi
severe winter weather and is blessing
to those who are poor. By the time
this gets to our re&ders it is quite
possible that the ground will be white
again as the flakes are falling as we
write.
