SO, Of Sandy Spring, Md, will prob
ably make a thorough study Of the
weather prospects before driving into
Washington.
Mr.. Farquhar recalls "too vividly'
the 10-mile walk he made through q
raging blizzard the night Of Presi-
dent Taft's Inauguration.
1.-THE snow and ice broke down the
telephone wires between Washington
and Sandy Spring or I'd have called
home and said I would stay all night
in Washington. But I couldn't get
through by telephone, so I got on q
Kensington street car and went as
far as could. Then I got on and
started to walk the 10 miles to my
home. About all I can say Is that I
made It."
The four-below-zero temperature ut
President Grants second Inauguration
also made quite an impression on Mr..
Farquhar. He tells Of getting up at
2 am. and with several other boys
driving into Washington before dawn
In Q horse and wagon.

thur d. Bryant Of 322 East Capitol
