Mrs. M. A. Keating, who lives In Muskegon, Mich. "This Winter, with Its drifting snows and Arctic cold. Is a trial on endurance of physical strength and the palpita tions of the family purse. she writes. "Again we are In the throes of a blis sard. the drifts are at an unbelievable height and the mercury Is at sero. The wind howl around our house, while the paths that were shoveled a half an hour ago are again filled. The streets are deserted and all traffic has ceased. No trains, either steam or electric, are operating, and I am sure the streetcars are not running. No autos are able to push through the snows and a few horses are trying In a laborious way to draw a limited amount of coal to those who are without fuel. Our sup ply still holds out. in spite of the heavy demands upon it. and I trust the situa tion will change before pur bins are empty. "Our hearts are filled with sympathy for the poor, with !ielr porous houses and little with which to get fuel. We are warm and comfortable. Why try to draw a picture of the snow? We read there was one street In Shelby that had a drift clear across It ten feet high, and that -?as before this blizxard of the last 24 hours. "The snow in places la four .r five feet higher than the rail of the piaxxa: now fancy what that Is from the ground level.

Then above, the air is white with the fast-falling flukes, like a delicate veil between heaven and earth. It Is most beautiful, so beauti ful I would you all might see for your selves. VETERA!
