Within two miles radius we have in this rural part seven large, substantial brick and frame dwellings, large pails of water, and carry out, up nat}ny steps, and out through the kitchen, and across a wide lawn, to get it far enough away where it would not flow back.

The last big blizzard and snowfall in our county ,left a great winding sheet of snow about fifty yards long and from three ,to four feet deep .at our road, right acrossi the part of the road that skirts our front`lawns. Well, the plow was- working elsewhere, and some fellows made a sort of road very near to our fence and uu the tres- passing side. of our mail box for the milk truck to pass. 11 cut up a piece of lawn at the roadway that I generally tend and left' it is a shocking state, which means it will not recover all sumtuer, and incidentally knocked over. my ivail box._ I took it all patiently and blamed the big storms. Cars were stuck repeatedly and ons could not look on and not help. So with what strength I had and with vigorous use of shovel they were helped out of hard places: One day, it was April the first, I manfully and energetically took the shovel and determined to cut that roadway, that had been so • long neglected,- and.. inake a. track_ for cars. and trucks on the •thiddle part of the road,. where they would ordinarily be in . time of good weather. For some hours I worked away, and threw tons of snow into the big ,ditch on the other side of the road and made• a roadway on hard. gravel surface for this transportation that had gouger} out great ruts near my gate and fence, and felt quite happy about my good neighborly job—for about. • an hour. At the end of that hour a great monster plow came along and taking every- thing in its stride cut at way right up to our corner, removed .the rest' of the snow I could, not dare to touch that in .which.. eight or' mine people live, reached all over the width of the read; bachelors and 'widows for the most and threw the whole of it into the ditch I had been helping to fill. I yelled, "Why didn't you come an hour sooner and save me all the sweat ,and toil that was mine this afternoon?" Did they say it? Well, they alight as well; for I felt it to be the only observation part.
