The snow which foil Is admirably well adapted to sleighing , .lust damp enough to pack nicely , Just thickly enough covering the roadway to carry the heavy loads , and bringing with It nn air that Is neither too cold nor too warm hut Just exactly right for driving out , the snow which the weather man dealt out for this vlcln Ity Is an Ideal one In many respects for the pleasure seekers and lovorn of wintry ways. Helps the Merchants , Too. The snow Is a good thing for every body and everybody else. It helps the coal man because It looks colder than blank air , even If It Isn't ; It helps the man with the autumn clothing to dls jioso of and the overcoat salesman as well ; It lllls the shoo stores with nnx Ions ones who have gotten cold feet or might get ; It. puts new cases upon the physician's book because so many take cold and In return the phnrma cist Is kept , busy putting up prescrlp tlous. The man with books has to hurry to supply all the demands of tlioBo who want to stay In the house nt night and the liveryman gets hlx best cutters upon the streets at good prices. Then the laborer gets In af ter the sidewalks are all tilled up and shovels them off for a consideration , which ho In turn spends for groceries and other things. And the farmer , more than anyone else , Is benefited because his fertile- acres are llllod with a stimulating moisture which will make the crops next year boom. The Ice Man. "Even the Ice man gets n holiday and what more could ho want nfto- ho has been hauling his commodity to customers all summer long and has been getting ready for next sen/ soon all the fall. And then there's the poet It gives him a chance to think and commune with Nature and to talk about the Beautiful , which ho has been waiting for over since he decided how old Is Ann. And the newspaper man he gets In with his paddle , too , because It gives him something to fill space with on an otherwise dull day. JUMPED FROM MOVING TRAIN.
