Some Fierco Suow Drifts.
As a result of the snow storm which

largest snow drifts ever seen In West
Scranton arc still visible In many local
ities. This Is particularly true as re
gards Lincoln Heights, Bellevuo
Heights, Round Woods Plot, West
Park, Farr's Heights and Tripp Park.
In some of these places the. snow
drifted to heights of fully five and six
feet, leaving the ground bare In other
places. As a result the suburban resi
dents were greatly Inconvenienced In
leaving their homes yesterday.
The sidewalks generally were cleared
yesterday, but it was noticeable that
many people neglected to clear the gut
ters as well, and this will Interfeio
with the carrying orf of the snow when
the general thaw occurs.
The employes of the department of
public works were engaged yesterday
In clearing many of the crosswalks and
relieving the openings to the sewer
basins, thus making the way clear for
t raffle and the passage of the slush. A
general thaw Is expected today.

The recent epidemic of smallpox had
the effect of bringing about one much
needed improvement the complete
renovation of Mears' hull, and the

praise for the prompt manner in which
he has taken up the matter.
The walls and ceilings are being thor
oughly kulsomlned and painted, and a
force of men are now at work therein
under the direction of Contractor
George Cooper. When finished the in
terior will present nn inviting appear
ance. Tt wil be ready for public use in
about two weeks.

Got Even with Kipling.
CVcil Hhodes, the South Alricau uuguite, had a

decided utcraion to sleeping In a top berth.
Knowing this, the poet determined to ll.iw fn.l
at the c.Npciu-e of the man of destiny. When
that night the rx-pirmlcr lound thai he li.nl
been assigned lo an upper berth his rage was
great. He pleaded with the agile Kipling to c
change witli lifin. but the poet, with a siulouiu
smile, a-Miied Ithodis that he could not think'
of exalting hiimclf abote -o mighty in inipeil.il.

boriously to bed.
After midnight the ti.iin stopped at a small
hlatlon on tho desolate kanoo and the wife ot a
colonial officer got aboard. When she di-iotcred

had been made for lur the lilted up her

"I am the wife of Colonel ," .he cn-
claimed, "and although I wiled foi a beith none
lias been sated for me."
"Ihal's all right," thnnducd the (ViIossih,
"my little boy is occupying (lie berth Jii.t iimlci

".Now, don't cty ami make a fiisj," tl e lady
was heard io siy, ".tour father told me 1 might
