How to Measure Socks.

A young man stepped up to the
counter of one of our furnishing
stores the other evening and called
for a pair of socks. "Be sure that
you get them large enough" sald
he, "for when they are too small
they always wear through at the
toes" "Yes, slr,' replied the po'
lite clerk, "l'll get them right; Will
yO1 please hold out your hand 2
The customer held out his hand
and doubled up his fist as directed.
The clerk took one of the socks
from the box, wrapped the foot
around the fist and guaranteed a
perfect TT. 81 am just as sure 1t
will ct you as though | had meas
ured year foot said the clerk, "as
the distance around the fist is al

years. We are likely to grow &C.
customed TO it within the next four
years, and whatever the sticklers
may say who believe in hedging
dignitarles about with ceremony,
the people of Washington and of
the country are sure to like 1t.
General Harrison is fond OF walk
ing and of walking alone. With
him, as with not a few other men Of
the learned professions, the regular
motion of the legs seems TO quick
en- and clear the intellect.
The general never wore a frock
overcOat. He wants pockets at
the side, and when he walks in
cold weather he prefers their
warmth to gloves, aud therefore
strides along with hare hands
thrust into the side packets. Then
if the weather Is not fine, he has a
fancy for turning up the collar of
his overcoat behind, aud wears 1t
in that way although the coat itself
is flying open in front.
The general is not a teller OF
stories, but enjoys them. One Of
the Bible class boys says he has
seen him sit for hours with party
of men who were telling good
stories and laugh heartily at every
ONE Washington Post.

Don't Toss the Baby.
A VERY RISKY GAME TO PLAY
WITH THE LITTLE CHERUBs.

A VERY RISKY GAME TO PLAY
WITH THE LITTLE CHERUBs.
The throwing a baby into the air
aud catching him again is always a
risky practice, certain though the
tosser may be of his quickness OF
eye and sureness of hand. a sud
den and unexpected movement OF
the child in his mid.alr flight may
result in a cruel fall.
A gay young father snatched up
his baby boy one morning ana
tossed him to the ceiling. Twice
the little fellow went flying through
the air and came down safely into
the waiting arms. The third time
the excited child gave a spring OF
delight as his fathers hands releas'
ed him ; plunged forward and pitch
ing over the fathers shoulder, fell,
head downward, to the floor. Nheh
the poor baby came out OF the SUI
Dor iu which he lay for hours, II
was found that, although no bones
had been broken, the brain nau
sustained an injury that would, IN
all probability, render the child an
imbeclIe.
Another baby snatched from the
aoor and tossed into the air re-
ceived a fatal wound in the top OF
the head from the pointed orna-
ment of a chandelier. Still another
child slipped between her fathers
hands as be caught at her in her
downward fight, and although his
frenzied grasp on the baby's arm
saved her from falling to The
ground, it wrenched muscles and
sinews so cruelty that the girls
arm was shrunken and practically
useless to her all her life. These
are extreme cases, but the fact of
their occurring at all should be
enough to warn one from the habit
of relinquishiug cne's hold on a
child when tossing it.-Hdpers

as Michael Hanley, a patient,
pic@ed up an ordinary tumbler and
took a bite from the side.
"That won't hurt me-" said the
man, as he chewed and swallowed
the glass and rolled out his tongue
to show that il was not concealed
Ia his mouth. This Is only my
usual luach," continued the man,
as he biz out another generous
chunk Of glass.
"This is simply suicide, and you
can't eat any more,' said the doc.

in on the last section, and the
fragment was taken from him.
"I'Il tell you what I'll do" said
Mike. "I'll eat that jar for five

You'll have to give me plenty of

an give you a drink if that's
what you want" said Nurse Nc
Cam, as he moved toward the
cooler, and the mans capacity for
drink was tested.
McCann produced two good
sized iumbIers and started the
water. Hanley drained the glasses
and handed them back as fast as
they could be filled, until seventeen
had been emptied into his ca

process was peremptorily stopped
by the doctor. Mike was then dis

A bachelor, old and cranky,
Was sitting alone in bis room
His toes with the gout were aching
And his face was o'erspread Win
gloom.
No little ones shouts disturbed him,
From noises the house was free,
In fact, from the attic to cellar
Was quiet as quiet could be.
No medical aid was lacking
The servants answered his ring,
Respectfully heard his orders,
And supplied him with everything.
But still there was something wanti ug,
Something he couldn't command
The kindly words of compassion,
The touch Of gentle hand.
And he said, as his brow grew darker
Aud he rang for the hireling nurse,
We'll, marriage may be failure,
Bnt this is a blamed sight worse

THE OPEN WINTER" OF 1916.
IT LASTED TWELVE MONTHS AND
THERE WAS NO SUMMER.


"The open winter Of 1SSS-'o9
will have "A companion when the
history of the century Is written.-
The year 1916 enjoyed an "open
winter during the entire twelve
mouths, being frequently referred
to by cOnlempOraneOus writers as
"the year without summer" All
through the settled portions of the
United States there was a frost
in every month, crops were ruined
and farmers called It the year of
"Eighteen hundred and starye to
DEATH Snow tell in November OF
1915, but there was zone IN Decem-
ber or January to speak OF. Christ
mas aud New Year were "warm,
open and green and faithful to the
old saw that "a green Christmas
makes a fat churchyard." The old
people predicted all sorts OF dire
calamlties, and the results would
Justify it. January was a very mild
month, the son shOne every day,
and a little snow that fell hardly
covered the earth and soon melted.
People prepared for great storms
and extreme cold weather in Feb
ruary, but were disappointed, as
it was even mlldcr than January.
Toward the end Of the month and
during the first days Of March a
terrible storm ragged and gave place
to cold and bOlsterOus winds. The
weather IN January was repeated
in April, but grew colder as the
days passed, ending with snow and
ice and very low temperature. In
May ice formed an inch thick on the
rivers and streams, buds and
flowers were frozen, and the entire
corn crop was killed. Frost, ice,
and snow were common IN June,
and all attempts to raise vegetable
products failed. The condition OF
the farmers is described as beng
desperate, aud they were compelled
to hoard their crops of the year pre-
ceding and necessitated a big III
crease in prices. Almost every
thing was killed, aud the fruit was
nearly all destroyed.
July was accompanied with lroSt
and ice. The fourth was cold and
clustering wind, raw and uncoh'
Portable, swept the entire Atlantic
coast. On the following day Ice
was of the thickness of window
glass, in New York city, all through
New England, and in Pennsyl
yania. In August ice halt an inch
thick was frequently seen. Sep
tember and October presented the
nearest approach ofsummer wealth
er than any other month III the
year, but in November extreme cold
weather began, and a severe WIN
ter continued up to April, when
summer began aud permitted the
farmers to realize bOunteons crops
The same condition of affairs eX-
listed in England as in this country
only it was not so severe. In cen
trail New York it is stated corn was
so badly frozen in the summer that
it was cut down and dried for tod
der. The warm weather in Janu
ary so encouraged a Vermont farm
er that he planted corn, and IN
fact some of it was in good condl
ton during March. Farmers were
compelled to pay 81 and 50 a bush
el for the corn of 1915 for feeding
purposes.-Omdhd World.
