LOST sTRAYED OR STOLEN

That cold wave never came to time
in this section of the country. The
/ Sun of Baltimore discourses on the SUBJ
ject in this wise:
The next time Mr.. Harrington, chief
of our national weather bureau. dis
covers a cold wave he should 90 up and
shake hands with it and ascertain its
character and purposes before making
his report to the public. Some cold
waves are like some men-their inten-
tions are not honorable. They are
tricky and deceitful, and have started
out with the express design of fooling
the weather bureau and of disapp oint-
ing as much of the country asois posi-
bic. ..
If the cold wave is honest and
honorable, but. weak, that also
should be stated, and the probabilities
of its holding out in its efforts for the
general good. Even the strongest and
most earnest of summer cold waves
has a great deal Of i,ntagonistic terri
tory to travel over before it can reach
the people it seeks to relieve on the At
lantic seaboard. Motto speakofany 9TH
erobstacles, lit hastopass Chicago, which
is enough of itself to take the enthus-
iasm out of it and make it turn limp
and languid. I
This being the case, Mr.. Harrington
in future should study his cold wave
with the utmost care. If it is fraudu-
lent and dishonorable, he should say
$50 fearlessly and frankly, without fear
Of wounding the feelings of the cold
wave or amy of its numerous connec-
tons.
I'M conclusion, in the somewhat alter
ed phraseology of a great American
statesman, we would say to Mr.. Har-
rngton, BE sure of your \cold wave
and: then let it come ahead.'
Howeverin a case of this kind small
fayors are thankfully received and this
weather is an Improvement on the tor
rid heat of last week.
