cold weather. The store wai
closed about dark and in half an horn
afterwards smoke was seen issuing from

Notes from Webster.
itfft. EditorOn Friday, Feb. 14th,
' without any special preparations, as it
appeared, snow began falling thick
and fast and ere long the groand wu
covered. Seventy-flve school children
had to wend th?ir way homeward along
the snow clad-road. It would seem a
phenomena that while we may see the
beautiful snow flakes thus falling there ii
' a clime where at that time no threaten
? ing clouds hide the brilliant sun and the
> air is warm and pleasant. But we hav<
become accustomed to it and let them
pass, frequently, unnoticed,
i It would seem that the sentiment it
, not favorable for summer schools. 1
have preiouvsly said that tke monej
' could be more wiselv snent. There ?r?

I WWU1IDIO wui^ioub U) UiStillOl
Id a general way. In each school dis
trict if there were one school which continued
for eight or nine months it would
be an improvement on the present system,
or increase the salary of thoet
already employed whieh would stimulate
> the teacher's interest. Neither should
> there be "free books" for children, compulsory
education would supply the do
ficiency in this particular. Parents and
: children, as a rule, do not appreciate tlx
. books which they buy individually, and
if the State furnished them they wsuld
have less care along this line. Privat*
schools have come to be a back number
i people waiting for the publio. They Ux
woukl wait for books. In my school oi
sixty-seven pupils enrolled the parent
? have bought seventy-flve books, showing
t that people can do something if inter
r ested. Provisions are more soaros thai
. I have seen during my stay here, sevei
sessions, hut msre books have oome ii
than ever duri ng the history of the school
f Nature is so ai ranged that ws oaa ge
seme things which we need. Most peo
pie usually try to get what they wan
and when need comes alone tougl
8 luck is ths excuse. I favor compnlsor;

The Beautiful Snow.
On Friday afternoon about 3:30 o'clock
a fine mist of sncw began falling. From
the smallness of the Hakes one would
have judged that it would hardly be
enough to show on the ground, but in an
incredibly short space of time the ground
was almost covered and there was a regular
down pour of the fleecy Hakes. The
, ground being partially frozen, the snow
of a dry nature, did not melt but kept
piling faster and thieker. About dark
it had reached a depth of two to two
and a half inches. During the afternoon
it came down so thick that the lineman
of the Bell Telephone Company who
were at the top of the poles stringing
, the wires could not see each other from
; pole to pole and the work had to be sur:
ponded.
i The snowfall slacked up about nighti
fall but began again during the night
; with redoubled energy and came down
t apparently in sheets until Saturday morni
ing. Several measurements were taken
i in different sections of the town ranging
from 11| to 13A inches on a level. Our
i measurement in three plaees in the yard
f showed 11 7-8. Capt. Dick Johnson
i and some other gentlemen took the
measure on the top of a large d ry goods
i box which stood in the open and the
[ snow on it was 13$ inohes deep. This
r ought to be a fair test as it was impos>
sible to have been a drift,
r We understand that a measurement
t was taken a few miles from town out in
an open Held and the depth was 11}
- inches.
I This was the heaviest snow that has
> fallen in this section iu nearly thirty
i years. In 187 vl a snow fell to the dept.li
i of something over 18 inches, in 1880 a
I snow fell to the depth of 11} inches and
we have had several since ranging from
6 to 10 inches.
I There was very little evidence of the
i snow melting Satuiday or Sunday Mote
I snow fell Sunday but it was very scatterl
ing and lasted only a short while.
? There was a force of hands on the side
, walks Saturday shoveling oft 1 he snow
> and where the drain should be there was
f a great embankment of snow i hat had
9 been thrown from the sidewalks. In
I some places where the snow had drilled
- it was waist deep.
i Several sleds were tigged up and quite
i a number of ladle# and men went sleigh
a riding. The children took gieat delight
. in pelting every party that pass d It
t was like tunning the gauntle t on w nv
of the streets and the sleighing pari it s
t were usually covered with snow whei
li they escaped frcin the line of childrei
j with snowbdls. The snow wemed t<
r make ever yone remember their chiklhoor
e days and there was considerable snow
balling all over town, very little busbies
I. could be done, of course, and the clerk
embraced the opportunity of harlnj
n some fun.
i. There were tciy few in from th
? country Saturday, the farmers evident!;
preferring to remain at home arouni
id their great log Ores rather titan puttini
>f their teams through such a snow to gf
f. to town, and do one can blame them
If a big snow is evidence of a good graii
. rear we advise on* fanners to go to bnild
Up mv baroa to store their grain in.
