present season 2.03 inches ahead of last year.
The average precipitation for the last thirty

paper paragraphers have written regarding
his immense size, everyone expected to recog-
nizs the Senator at once. One man who was
not very well acquainted pointed to a we'll
known railroad detective, and inquired If
that was " him." while several persons were
seen to gaze in awe at enc of the division
railroad officers, but no one until told looked
at the right man, and then the remark was
invariably, "Why, he's not big. We've
dozen men in this town that's larger" or
something similar.
