TOWN TALK.
" If there's hole in a. your coats,
/ rede ye tent it
A chiefs chi, ! a.! !amang ye takin' notes,

An, faith, he'll prent it,"
10 say that the weather vas very warm
during last week would be to indulge in
grim pleasantly. 1t was hot-rcd hot
Every cne who me. friend on the street
felt justified in remarking, 'It's hotter
than healthy" and SO it was. Dogs
melted and trickled through the cracks in
the sidewalks. Roofs of ice houses were
raised by the steam generated inside.
Linen coats were unbearable, and even the
famous costume of the chieftain who was
attired in paper collar and pair of spurs
would have been uncomfortable. On one
of the warmest days of the week a couple
of our most promising young men were
playing cribbage at Toms. Len was lying
on billiard table in the billiard room, try
ing to keep cool. Not hearing any call for
whiskey and soda for an unusual length of
time, he went to see what was the matter,
and found them both melted, and the
chairs, tables, pasteboards, etc., floating
around In the grease. But the heated
term is past, and Town Talk feels like con-
graduating his friends who survived it.
Ii the theory Of endless burning hereafter
be correct, the unfortunates from this sec
tion may console themselves with the refec-
tlon that they are already acclimated..
