HORSES AND OXEN HELP YANTIC IN Sunday’s big snow Yantic people who never.saw a a snow storm was due many rejoiced in the fact that it came just at this holi- day season so that shoeing, coasting, to- bogganing and skiing could be enjoyed. Yantic was cut off from trolley service early Sunday because the snow plow left the track near the granary, but Monday morning the cars were able to get up as far as the home of FEdward Wheeler and continued to run as far as there all y. The triins on the Central Vermont road were running on fairly go>d scheda- ule. The boat train was an hour late but the road was clear to Palmer where the results of. the storm were less severc than at the New London terminal. Road Foreman M. J. Shea had the Yantic yard well cleared Monday. The road plows on the state road were unable to make any progress Quring Sunday’s storm but Monday the differert road gangs were busy clearing out the culverts, gutters and aiding in making the road travel clear. A few of the auto milk trucks went through but horses were used, George Avery of Smiths Corner had a four-homie team on the road that attracted con: erable attention, going through the city but not less so than H. E. Howe's local service wagon drawn by ‘two huge oxen. All in all it has been a picturesque storm and awakening the people who thought we we:s going to slide by with- out any inconveniences this winter.

New York, Feb. 21.—One man died of sleeping sickness here today, and ten new cases were roported, the city heaith department announced tonight, Many Reasons for Insomnla. ‘Whenever sleep becomes coy and must be wooed it is a sign that some- thing has gone amiss and must be remedied. To obtain sleep then be- comes a search for a complex mental, emotional or physical thorn in the side. Lo¥s of sleep may be due to some physical thorn such as an over- burdened intestine or stemach, an abscessed tooth root, thickened ton- sil, a skin irritated or cold, or an in- fection in some hidden, walled-off area of the anatomy. Equally as often some unconscious memory of financial .reverses or difficulties, domestic com- plications or some other work ban- ishes sleep. His Idga of Train’s Action. There is a story of a Suffolk (Eng- land) yokel who, having lived some distance from a railway statlon, and being content with the society around him, had never had need of a train, and, being brought into contact with a railway, stood watching this new won- der not far from a tunnel. His de- scription of it afterward was that a train was more or less like a rabbit— “he ran up to the hole, let off an awful scrench and bolted into it.” Powerful Home Influence.

As a member of the United States geological survey Mr. Mon- ; sen began his investigations among the Indians of America and later made simi- lar journeys of observation in Latin America, traveling extensively also in Kurope. He was the first artist to recog- nize the great scientific value of a photo- graphic record of the ancestral customs and ceremonies which will soon have passed from the lives of these peoplgs un- der the influence of advancing cfvilizae tion. He speaks entertainingly rather than lectures, but if he did neither there would be enough of interest in the won- derful paintings thrown on the screen, | for his illustrations are not the usual tinted lantern slides. The friends of the cojlege will be welcome to attend’ this lecture. Added New Members.

The railroad schedules were maintain- ed on both the New Haven and Central Vermont roads with some degree of ae- curacy. The snow plows on the Central Vermont road went through early Monday morning clearing the track so {hat the regular trains could get through without much delay. Regarding the fire hazard at this time when the streets are blocked with smow and it is practically impossible to get the heavy fire fighting apparatus through, Chietf Howard L. Stanton wishes to i press upon the people the urgent need of fire precautions. Another thing that Chief Stanton desires is that all proper- ty owners, in front of whose property are located hydrants, clear the show away from the hydrants, thus giving the firemen instant and free access to the hydrant in case of fire in that vicinity. As has been from time immemorial when there has been a heavy snow sterm, the salutation on Monday was “Had qul some snow, didn't we?' Those who like to dig back into the realms of the past were busy on Monday telling the big snows they had seen “when I ag a youngster” or “the big blizard of i or “when I was out in - " To hear these birds talk you would think that the storm we had on Sunday was a mere flurry compared to what they had to shovel in the years zone by.
