A COLD WINTER Those who
think this Winter is a severe ono
should have been around in 1922.
The winter Il at year set in Oh tho
fth OF November, and before the 9th
teams were crossing on the ice.
fiom that time to the first Of April
the weather continued intensely
cold, heavy snow covering the couu-
try all through March, and not melt
ing in the middle of the day, al
though the sun shone brightly all
through the month. On the 7th of
April, Alex Harrison and II. c. Eel.
lows crossed tho river on the ice
with u team, and others crossed still
later. AS an illustration of the in.
tense cold the following true occur
renee is related: One night a Ger.
man who kept tavern or saloon at
what is now termed Specht's ferry,
heard the wheels Of wagon creak.
ing on the snow as it came along.
and noticed that the noise stoppsd
at his door. After waiting some
time Tor his supposed customers TO
enter, and they not doing so, he
opened the door and saw an OK team
standing there with couple of men
sitting on the wagon seat. He ask
ed them why they didn't come in.
and receiving 90 answer he went TO
the wagon and 'ound the men frozen
dead, their bodies stiff and upright
and hard as iron. They were wood
choppers returning home from tho
city. That winter was undoubtedly
the coolest ever known to the pres.
ent generation.-Pfiar,e du CHein

three or four doses. For curing Con-
