OLD FRIENDS.

There are no friends like old friends
And none so good and true;
We greet them when we meet them
As roses greet the dew;
No other friends are dearer,
Though born Of kindred mold;
And while we prize the new ones,
We treasure more the old.
There are no friends like old friends
Whereof we dwell or roam,
In lands beyond the ocean,
Or near the bounds Of home;
And when they smile to gladden.,
Or sometimes frown to guide,
We fondly wish those old friends
We're always by our side.

WASHINGTON IS VISITED
BY REAL COLD SNAP
Temperature Drops to Thirty
Six Degrees. Accompanied
by Drilling Rain.

"A regular winter storm, without severe

bureau gives of the cold snap that struck
Washington yesterday and last night and
sent shivers chasing up ana down the
spinal columns Of capital residents. Al
though the official temperature, at its
lowest last night, only went To SO de-
srees which is four degrees above the
freezing point hundreds of Washing

this morning that the mercury was tfirt-

wind from the south. During the early

to rall dIrng the night, and in many
places in and about the District of Co

been prevailing the greater part of the
day. Usually the high tides are
caused by southerly or easterly winds
and the river men say the wind along
the coast about the mouth of the Chesa-
peake must have been easterly, and
this caused the backing up of the water
in the river and bay. The tide about
o'clock yesterday afternoon was over
the sea wall about Potomac Park and
all the lower wharves along the har-
Dor We're awash. The water did not
get high enough to cause much incon-
venience. All the lowlands at the south
end of the Potomac brid ges were under
water for several hours and at Alex
andria several of the wharves had an
inch or two of water over them. With
The coming of the northwest winds last
night the water fell somewhat. but this
morning it was still above the sea-
