There is certain stiffness and tormallty
about Old Probabilities reports which com-
mon people would like to see changed tor
something more frank and open-hearted. The

ing and more interesting to the young II some
newspaper man had the weather to take care
of For Instance, where the report now reads,
For the Northwest, rising barometer, with
cold. northerly winds. right-mlndcd Journ-
mist would say: Folks in Wisconsin and MIN
ucsota will get up and git to morrow; 1t will De
cold enough TO freeze the BAR on hl'ehlhg
post.
"Just a wear ago to morrow the Dublin Boy
and the San Francisco Babe had a set-to near
New Orleans, and DubD won. 1t Is also the
second anniversary of the Watertown Bank
robbery. where the thieves carried of 5000, 900
and we're allowed to keep $4,000 for their

the best policy. Look out for cold winds Az

snow storm is probable.
The present weather man says: For Sat
urday iu the Gull States, south and east winds,
rising temperature, threatening weather and
occasional rains" Now that should read ::

buttons on your husbands Sunday shirt. Oc
casional rains may be expected Tomorrow aud
the New York detectives will probably catch

Where the weather mau says: For the
South Atlantic States, increasing souheastery
winds, with cloudy weather, clearing away by
Saturday night" it should read: Splendid
weather for going after perslmmons down
South; don't draw your shotgun toward you
by the muzzle; weather little cloudy, but

be without it. A year ago, or thereabout, Sen.
ator Pomeroy gave Senator York $4,000, and

Then where Probabilities says, For the
Middle and Eastern States southwes, winds,
with partly cloudy weather, it ought to read,

wear white pants when you go huckleberry-

to make shirts at fifty cents per dozen. South

too high
About this time last year New York coun

aged father effected compromise for S2S, 200,
ard the treasurer commenced building hne
house. Don't lend money to strangers, and do
unto others as you get chance May rain to-
morrow night, and spelling schools and candy
