'Six Inches of slfow iii South (.'aro
Una on I hi' IMh day of April sountU
strange lh the ear* of |>eople In {his
part of the world, l>i#t that such a
prank of nature whh played hero six
fy seven eyars ago this day Is vouch
imI for hy no les* accurate and do
pendable authority rhau our venerable
townsman. Thomas S. Harllce, Sr.
Tilt* I mmi lit I fill warm sunshine and
perfect weather of thin morning re
called to the mind of Mr. Hnrllee the
Incident which occurred when he wan
yet' a hoy, living in the home of his
frtt her, <'o|, David I In r1I?H* In old (Alte
ra w. It was Sunday morning and the
day broke dear and warm. Every
body dn-ssed an for spring weather mid
went otT t?> church ( everybody went
to church In thoWe day* It wasn't con
sidered res|>eetabio not to.). The spring
(lowers were out Iii all their glory,
All of the gardens were aglow with the
bright colors of the hyacinths, the Jon
(pills and eroou.HscH. The woods were
white and gold with the blossoms of
the dogwood and Jassamliie and the ten-,
der green of the young leave* were
In bright cont rast with tin* darker
greens of the .pine forests. The birds
were tilling the air with their happy
nott* and every breeze wafted the fra
grant perfumes of a thou sand wild
flowers.
As the services progressed a chill
began to |>ervade the churches and
?/
dark shadows to obscure the erstwhile
brightness of the morning. Presently
the worshippers were amazed to see
swirling down and about the windows
big white flakes of snow. Before the
doxology was sung and the benedic
tion pronounced the fleecy mantle that
covens! the astonished earth was six
Inches on the level. The apjiearanee
that the snow-covered ground lyid trees
lent, to the view was wlerdly hcAOt.l- !
fnl. From Its level surface p?M>ped
nut the golden . Jonquils, tile crimson
?roeuSses and the purple ami pink hya
?lut bx. The 'wlilte blossoms of the
. logwood were lost in the mantle of
vhlte that the sn<>w had cast over the
tender green bough.* of the trees.
The ladles who were wont to wear
ow-cut yokes of the fashion of that
lay found themselves without wrap
md the men were di.spatcluvl to fetch
hem. The whole congregation trudged
lome through snow more than ankle
leep. Mr/ Ilarllee relates that upon
''caching, his father's house lie spied :i
?oor little bumming bird which ha<*
?aught refuge from the storm under

There la something almost dramatic
about the coming of the oriole, herald
ed a? It Ih, hy his clear cut bugle call,
announcing. In his masterful way. that
summer has ooine to stay. When he
makes his appearance, you may safely
plant geraniums on the lawn, and i>aek
away the winter flannels. There Is
something regal ahout this beautiful
bird, robed in orange flame and black,
with his dominant air. and clarion
voice. He arrives several weeks earlier
than hla somberly dressed mate, and
seems uneasy and nervous, as he flits
from tree to tree, all the while uttering
bis querelous cry, "Will you? Will JOUtj
Heally, Truly?" until ho hears her
answering call. The plumage of the
female Is somber brown and gray, shad
ing Into splotches of black and orange.
From her dress one would hardly
take her to be the consort of the j
brilliant bird that flashes his vlvhl
enlc.rs among the branches. There Is
nothing retiring about h|m, be believes
In k<*eping In sight., and seems to think
his "gift of beauty" Is something to
In* passed on for others to enjoy, so he
takes no pains to conceal what lie
knows Is pleasing to the eje.
With all his alert, business-like ways,
Me Is content to allow his mate to do
all the weaving of that wonderful nest,
a nest by the way, that has made his
family famous. The mother oriole se
lects the. remote end of some slender
l|mb from which to hang her summer
hammock. This limb must be too small
to bear the weight of a pilfering squir
rel, and too far from the ground for
a blacksnake to venture. The material
for this nest. Is selected with the groat
st care, much being rejected that seems
to come up to specifications. If she
baa her doubts about the strength o?
?i string, or a strand of hair, she p" ?
.?cods to test it. by ho.diug one -?<i
while her mate pulls and tugs a* ihe
it her. until Its strength is proven. She
uses vegetable fiber, long grasses, horse
hair, strings, feathers, bits of cloth,
and flexible bark in the construction
nf t bis marvel of bird architecture.
This expert little weaver, uses both
hill and claws in working the materia!
in and out, to form the felt-like text
ure of the nest Her greatest care is
-.riven to the anchoring of the top of
the nest to the twig which Is to sup
port It. In some wise way, she real
zes that the strongest strings, and the
most wire-like hairs, must do duty here.
<o. with marvelous skill, she twines
ukI loops, and loops and twines, until
it is securely woven to the supporting
branch. When finished, she has a
pouch-like bag, so deep, that the babies;
in the bottom, are safe from owls and
hawks, even the sly old crow is un
tble to raid thts nest, as ho has never
learned to poise in mldAir. and there
is no perch strong enough to support
him. The shape of this nest varies in
different localities. In outlying re
gions. where hawks and owls abound,
the nest Is made much deeper than
those in more protected places. 1 he
eggs number from four to six, and are
white, with scrawled markings of black
and brown. The mother oriole does
t lie incubating, and is most devotedly
waited upon by her. now truly domesti
cated mate, who never tires of fetching
lier dainties from garden and on-hard.]
When the young are hatched, both pa
rents share the job of keeping their
hunger satisfied, and stilling their In
cessant squealing. All day long, above
the sound of the wind can be heard
the complaining voice of the young
orioles, constantly begging for food, and
incidentally, calling attention to the
whereabouts of the swinging cradle. A
pair of orioles show the greatest afTee-,
tloti for pnch_other,mnd lt_ls"satd, that
once mated, theye are mated for life
They return year after year to the same
locality, nnd either repair the old nest
or build a new one nearby*.
As a rule, the oriole feeds on fruits I
and berries, but during the time the
young are In the nest, he turns his
attention to the tree-top Insects, that
are overlooked by birds less active.

these being tourist sleeping cars, tlf

being baggage, flat and freight cars.
That the railway could assemble this
