canning industry was then unknown and

LOST HER WAY.
The earth appeared to have wandered
from its orbit around the sun, and seemed
fast losing itself in the cold vacuum of
space. Or were the fires of its vast inter
nal furnace dying out and our world cool
ing off and rapidly becoming dead and
barren, cold and lifeless like the moon ?
Frost and ice had made their home with
every month in the year, not even except;
ing July. So no great things were expected
of August, for hope deferred had made the
heart sick. The last of the summer months
as she came in shivering with frosts and
chilled to the bone was pitiable sight.
''Such cheerless, desponding, melancholy
summer month, the Oldest inhabitant never,
perhaps, experienced" 1t could not raise
one warm, foggy morning, one cheerful,
sunny day. Frost and ice saw the last
summer month out as they had seen the
first in. The Indian corn, which was in
the milk, was frozen so hard that it rotted
on the stock, and farmers moved it down
and dried it for cattle fodder Summer
time was over; the season for harvest was
past, but the generation of 1916 saw no
summer and gathered no crops.
The remaining months of the remark
able year offer nothing of interest The
time for fruit and grain and sunshine and
warm weather had passed. Only in the
early part ofSeptember there was produced
more than two weeks of the mildest and
pleasantest weather there had been during
the whole season. But, with this excep-
ton, there was little variety.
ICE THE YEAR ROUND.
There was ice every month in the year.
The temperature of the whole year was
only 40, it being the coolest year on record.
Scarcely vegetable came to perfection
north and east of the Potomac. Of fruit
there was none. Distress was everywhere.
Business was paralyzed. The great hotels
at the springs and on the mountains and
by the seashore were all summer silent and
empty,
"Whose banquet halls deserted,
whose lights nave lied,
Whose garlands dead,
And all but they departed"
The cold summer extended not only
throughout America, but throughout Flu
rope also. One of the most celebrated
meteorologists in England, on reviewing
the weather, said: sit will ever be re-
membered that 1916 was year in which
there was no summer" And the temper
ature of the year, as a whole, was the low
estever known. Newspapers received from
England spoke in similar strain. 1t was
also the coolest summer ever known in the
West Indies and in Africa.
During this summer was the presidential
campaign of 1916, and in the November
election James Monroe, of Virginia, was
elected the fifth President of the United
States. As this was rather spirited
campaign, there was probably more heat
generated by the friction between the two
opposing parties than was produced by ma
ture during the whole summer

BOIL IT DOWN.
Whatever you have to say. my friend,
Whether witty, or grave, or gay
Condense as much as ever you can.
And say in the readiest way;
And whether you write on rural affairs.
Or particular things in town,
Just word of kindly advice, my friend
Boil it down.
For fyou go spluttering over page,
When a couple of lines would do,
Your butter is spread so much, you see,
That the bread looks plainly through.
So when you have a story to tell,
And would like little renown,
To make quite sure of your wish. my friend
Boil it down.
When writing an article for the press,
Whether prose or verse, just try
To utter your thoughts in the fewest words,
And let it be crisp and dry;
And when it is finished. and you suppose
1t is done up exactly brown,
Just look 1t over once more, and then
Boil it down.
For editors do not like to print
An article lazily long,
And the general reader does not care
For couple of yards of song.
So gather your wits In the smallest space,
Ifyou'd win the authors crown,
And every time that you write, friend
Boil it down.

The Supreme Court Of California,
has decided that Sarah Althea Hill,
was the legal wife OF the late VIII
liam Sharon, and also gives her
about 800. and achance to bring
suit for share of the community
property. 1t is the general opinion
that this case, remarkable in the
history of notable cases will be
compromised as a half million dol
lar basis.
The Sharon case was opened Sep
tember 8, 1888, by the arrest OF
Senator Sharon on complaint Of Will
lam NJ. Sharon on a charge OF
adultery witha young women named
G.rtie Deitz and alleging Sharon's
marriage with Sarah Althea. On
October 20, 1888, on motion of the
prosecution, the charge was dis
missed, there being no law covering
the case.
On October Sd following bill in
equity was filed in the United States
Circuit Court by w. Sharon against
Sarah Althea Hill. praying tina: the
alleged contract OF marriage
should be delivered up and can
celed ON the ground OF fraud. After
much testimony and argument the
Court finally ordered the document
delivered up Tor cancellation. But
of course was not.
On November 2, 1888. Sarah
Altnea flied u complaint in the
Superior Court for a divorce from
Sharon on the ground OF adultery.
Tie trial began March 10, 1854,
and lasted till September IL, 1854,
allowing eighty-one days OF actual
trial.
December "a, 1854, Judge Sui
liyan rendered decision establish

and granting a divorce

THE nool. ENDlcoTrE.


TIE Endicotte crowd in Washing
ton assume to be the leaders OF So
ciety there, and base their right to
that position on their peculiar ex-
clusiveness. The manner in which
they have chosen to distinguish
themselves from the common herd
is to indulge IN boorish snubs to
every one with whom they come in
contact.
On of their favorite tricks is to
keep distinguished guests waiting at
dinner, and they aim to engi-eer
their snubs so that the more dis
tinguished the guest, the longer
they wait. Recently they kept the
President and his wife waiting half
an hour at the dinner table for the
miserable social toad stools-the
Endicottes-to turn mp.
If Endicotte would buy a last
years BeadIe's dime book of eti-
quette and merely glance over it,
he would be able to appear to bet
ter advantage as a gentleman. He
does not seem to know the common
est amenities of civilized life, and
wallows in ignorance OF his own
shortcomings.

Lost Ono Thousand Dollars.

Ff0nt the augusta (Gd.) Chronicle.
Mrs. c. Gain, O widowed lady, residing
at 1910 Broad street, is a victim Of one OF
the most pathetic and deplorable incidents
OF the freshet. On Monday last she and
her daughter were being carried to placl
of safety in "A boat. In her hand she car
ried small bag containing BLOOD, 500 of
which was in twenty-dollar gold pieces.
When the boat arrived at the corner of
Marbury and Broad streets, where the cur
rent was very deep and swift, it came very
near capsizing Miss Gains lost her bal
ance and was about to fall out of the
boat, but was saved by her mother,
who, at the risk of her own life,
grasped the young lady just as she
was about to drop into the rushing current.
1t was M heroic act, and just such as gives
distinctive supremacy to a mothers love-
But IN the adventure the bag containing the
treasured $1,000 fell into the remorseless
waters and bas never since been seen. All
the other earthly possessions of the good
lady were left to the mercy of the relentless
flood within tho quiveriDg confines of the
deserted home, and the money in the lost
bag was her only means of escape fro n the
Cravings of abject poverty. OF course
this money has been or will be found by
some one Into whoseever hands it may
fall, may they never be defiled by the sin of
withholding 81 of it from It's needy and de-
fenseless owner

reports the loss of valuable diamond pin.
He carries faded spray Of mignonette in
fragrance and delicious memories. In tax
ing 1t from the book, as he does frequently
during the day, he thinks he also pulled out
the pin which is missing Il was of the frs,
water, and, besides being treasured me
mento, was of great intrinsic value.
Fortunately, newspaper men can afford
to lose diamonds, and, as Mr.. Bruffy wore
this one in his pocketbook, he can still i'm.
agine it there and be just as well otf-unles.
perhaps he was going to bestow it upon the
fair one who has made precious the treas.
