A SPRING STORM
Snow, Accompanied by Wind,
Closed Roads Saturday.

Never, since the "oldest inhabltant"
can remember, was there a fierccr
storm staged for the month of April
than that which swept over this section
of the country on last friday and Satur-
day.
The storm had its inception in a rain
storm on Thursday afternoon which
turned to snow about nine O'Clock the
same evening. Later the wind rose ard
by midnight bowling gale was sweep
ing everything before it, piling the
snow IN drifts and making some of the
roads well-nigh impossible. The snow
continued to falrwith no abatement Of
the wind all day on Saturday, until well
into the night. Sunday morning, by a
great effort, the sun shown forth for a
few minutes, butin the afternoon storm
conditions reverted to those prevailing
on Saturday, with slight dimunition
of the winds intensity.
The snow, along the roads as a re-
suit of the storm, piled in and closed
them to travel until Monday when some
were opened.

ing what had occurred Mr.. Sisler turned
toward the direction his wife had taken
and was Mortified to find her lying prone

Well Sir, Toms spark of life was snuffed out
quick sudden-the way it usually happens. The
only money he left was found in his pants pocket.
And that was the fund upon which Mrs. Tom had
to set the table, dress the children and see that they
learned their "three Rs.
In plain English, Mrs. Tom was cup against it."
Tom neither took his money with him nor left it
behind. He just dissipated it.
There's lesson in Mrs. Toms plight. There's a
lesson for every loving father and dutiful husband
If Toms method of living will teach that lesson,
Tom won't have died in vain, and Mrs. Tom won't
have struggled along without avail.
Tom should have carried insurance. He could af-
ford it-any man can-every man must.

Mrs. Tom used to lie awake nights and wonder
what would happen if Toms spark of life should be
snuffed out. Often she thought of speaking about
it to Tom. But that might appear selfish. Tom
might think it morbid. 1t wouldn't sound wifely
or loving or contented. So she held her tongue!
