Where were all the people to sleep 2 It may
:seem strange to some of you to think thet in
this great ciw people had to go wandering
about kr hours larking for a pittee to get ma
d the atom. Yet it was so. New nork
is a long anduanow inland. Mellower part,
for severel mites from the water, is given en-
tirely up to bueinere. Most ot the people
who work there live on Lung Island or m
Nevt Jersey, and go and come cram day on
feat trainee At night, usually, this business
part of the city is as silent and lonely as
a churchyard. Now, you see thoutands of
people tame into the coy in the morning
and were unable to get home at night, be.
cause it was impossible to get a train ont of
the city, So they were left without any
sleeping plate. 1 suppose many of them

1 found one man lying in the snow right in
the street. Ria hat had blown away—he
was completely chilled through. I got him
into a store. I found a little boy crying in
a, doorway. Be seemed almost frozen. It
was very pitiful—the sorry and suffering
poor people were having. I tramped around

the country you can let 00 per tent of the
same stem on the ground and melt when it
gets ready. In these narrow atreete it must
all be taken away. len, wemen and chil-
dren went at it with all sorts of implement,.
Shingles, pokers, fire ehovele, and hammers
were all called into the service. There was
work enough for all. There was a small
mountain of snow in front of every store.
Some wags went &round and put signs on
these great drifts. "Neap off the Grass,"
" Beautiful Snow 1" "Mr. Snow Lies Here,
$10 Reward for Zs Body 1" are a few of
them. Great bon -fires were built on the
tops of these drifts and in a Short time the
water began to run towards tbe river. It
was surprising though want a fierce heat
these drifts could stand. Rubber boots
were in great demtind. By Wednesday noon
no size smaller than No. II could be found
in the city. Few of us had feet large enough
to fill these out. The price of meat went up
about five cents per pound, vegetables were
about doubled and coal actually sold at the
rate of 845 par ton. Milk could not be had
at any price. The fact of it is that the
blizzard captured our town and gave us a
bad shaking up. However, we are all right
again now and fully prepared for the next
one. We have only one thing to ask of our
Western friends as regards future blizzards.
When you send the next one let us know a
day or so ahead and we'll be all ready to
tackle it.
