Those who were unfortunate enough
to be abroad during- the wee' sum
houra of yesterday morning exper
ienced a siege of the hardest weather
that has visited this region in many
i ears.
Tho thermometer wasn't a fair indi
cation of how really cold it was al
though the mercury was below tho
zeio mark most of the time, and at 8
o'clock was only eleven above. It was
the wind that made things feel so
much a la Klondike, It was a blizzard
nnd the hardest kind of a blizzard
while it lasted.
From about 1 30 o'clock until day
bicak It was a torture to be out of
door.s, and those who had to be out
tilt, and, In fact, could not remain e.
pcfied for any great length of time. The
Ilrst ice of the winter formed on the
ponds and lakes ht-reabouts, and for
the first time in ten yeais the river be
tween Mlnooka and Taylor was frozen
over.
The hnrdest night since the blizzard
of 'SS was the repoit from the railroad
ers. The wind was so strong against
trains coming up the hill that only
eighteen cans could be hauled, where
it is usual to draw twenty-four. Coal
of the smaller sizes was blown over tne
snow so strong were some of the gusts
thut swept through th cuts and acioss
the open places on the mountain The
fact that there was but little snow on
the ground was the only thing that
saved the load from blockades and de
layed traffic.
As the day progressed the wind abat
ed and the cold grew less Intense, nnd
during the afternoon it was only what
might be termed crisp weather,
STORIES OF THE TOWN.
Hnv Lost !
Where he came from, w hat his name,
who his paients nobody knew He
stood like an Image of cuplel In Klon
dike, shivering, ciouchlng, on the cor
ner of Lackawanna and Wyoming ave
nues. He might have dropped fiom
a Chrlstn.as tree. In 'onked so little.
This was Tuesday afternoon when,
as everjbody knows It was hailing In
a spiteful fashion and the little lost
boy was getting slnme'ully scourged.
The shoulders of his clote-flttlng blue
jersey coat weie white, he wore mit
tens but two hands weie rolled like
snowballs within them. Over his light
hair was a small cap, not big enough
to cover his eais.
He was lost and more than that he
know he was lost. His big blue eyes
were swimming in tears and the cold
air was bitter enough to blister the
wet grooves in his cheeks He was
crying for mama.
You might think that In this glad
holiday season while so many persons
have light hearts and heav pluses that
this little boy would not long stand
sniveling, eiouehing, without a friend.
To tho ciedlt of Christmas shoppets be

fote ho knew It our foundling was
loaded with things good to cat.
"Ain't he cute" mm muted one young
Miss to her filend. "Such lovely ejes"
said her filend. 'Look's as If he
dropped from a Christmas tree," ex
claimed a kind old lady. "He looks,"
sild the fussy flashing ejed woman on
the edge of the circle, "he looks like
my little Johnnie," And she said It of
couise- so that all could hear.
Hut the boy cried for a' that.
He wanted his mama, he wanted to
go home. A gentleman offeied to look
after the little fellow and together they
drew away fiom the crowd When near
the city halj Patrolman George Jones
took the boy in charge and In n brief
time he was in the sergeant's office at
police headquarters Patrolman Jones
and Acting Desk Sergeant Lowiy
dropped the little fellow against a
charged radiator nnd tried tu pet Jdni
to talk intelligbly. Hut he was too ?3b
crying. All he could say fn answer to
"wheie do you live?" was Oillnsky's
Who Is Gilinsky or where he holds
forth is still a mystei.
The ciles of the boy brought Clerks
Itosar and Clsle from the controllers
ofllce upstairs. Then came the mayor's
secretary, Mr. Heumish, and afterward
Mayor Halley. Chief Hobllng and a
dozen others.
Mayor Halley attempted to hold the
boy on his knee; the mayor's secre
tary took him for a walk through the
corridors and Chief Robllng turned hu
morist for his benefit.
Hut the boy only cried more.
Finally Misses Potu and Meredith
came down from thel respective ofll-
ces and took the boyupstalis. At six
o'clock the father of iie boy, Matthew
Krotosky, of Brook .street, South
Scranton, called aip the wanderer,

little fellow in the now d on Lacka

A woman approached I'ntroman
George Jones nt tho corner of Wyo
ming and Lackawanna avenues yes
terday. She was weeping and told her
story with dlillculty. She had lost her
purse containing $11. In walking a
distance of two blocks the purse had
apparently dropped from her pocket.
Patrolman Jones could do nothing,
and he said so. "You mustn't feel bad
ly about it, lady," ho wos saying;
"there are lots of people" Hut City
Detective John W. Molr happened
along nt that moment. "What's tho
matter," ho said. "This lady lost her
purse," replied the patrolman. Detec
tive Molr took something from his
pocket. "That's It, that's It!" fairly
shrieked the woman; "that's my pock
et book."
The purse had been picked up on the
Penit avenue corner by the patrolman
stationed there and was given to De
tective Molr to be taken to the police
station. Mrs. McIIugh, for such was
the woman's name, left for her home In

A mild-mannered girl bashfully en
tered a Spruce street lestaurant last
evening and paid. "I want a stew;
I want to take it to So-and-So's." She
mentioned a millinery stoic some three
blocks distant.
"What will you carry It In?" asked
the cook
"Haven't you got anything here?"
gently suggested the girl.
"No, we haven't; jou'd better run
back to the store and get something."
Tho ciil left the place, returning
after ten minutes. She ngaln bashful
ly opened the door and said: "Put it
in this."
What she held in her hand was a
round band-box.
"In that'" yelled the cook; "put a
.stew In that box?"
"I didn't say a stew, did I?" said
tho gltl petulantly, "I said a fry,"

The Leader's
Again we see ourselves in duty bound to acknowl
edge the liberal patronage we enjoyed during the past
year. We feel more than ever that our effort to serve
the public in a considerate manner has been a most suc
cessful venture on our part, and the fruitful returns we
have received during our establishment here have done much
to encourage us in a continuation of our ardent desire to
make this store not only a place of advantageous shopping,
but a mart where something more than cold, matter-of-fact
business methods prevail.
The magic of low prices has won us many friends, but
that accomplishment is not sufficient for us. We want to
leave with you the impression that this is your store at all
times and that we are merely caterers to your many wants.
We want all our patrons to feel that when they enter here
they can trade with the confidence that comes from a source
of fiiendship and a deep-seated appreciation of our desire to
make every transaction mutually beneficial.
Merry Christmas!
