DRIVER WAS LITERAL.

Chicago Post.
The manager Of one Of the Chicago ex-
press companies tells good story
I'VE have big. strong Irishman driving
one of our teams. Yesterday ne was
sent with a barrel of -four to the home OF
a woman on the South Side Arrived
there the driver took the BARRE: on his
back and started mp the stairs. his ex-
press book in his coat pocket
Half way up the second fight Of stairs
the Irishman came upon a woman scrub
bling.
"'Win ye he afther teHin' me where
Mrs MCGOWAN lives?' he asked.
90 I am Mrs. MCGOWAN said the scrub
ber-a statement which was prevalent
and I live upstairs.
Where viii lave this barrel of flour?'
asked the driver
Take it up as far as youse can. and
thin put it down. I'll attend to it re-
piled Mrs. MCGOWAN.
so he went on up, and when there were
no more stairs TO conquer he looked about
q ladder leading through an open scuttle
10 the roof. Up the ladder he climbed.
out on the roof he stepped and then.
finding he could go no higher without a
balloon, he deposited the barrel and came
down
ION the stairway-though nearly at
the foot-he found the woman again. and
she signed the delivery book. Then he
went about his business. but before he
got to the Office Mrs. MCGOWAN was there
demanding an explanation The driver
was called in as soon as he returned.
Where did you put that barrel OF
fiour?' demanded the Official
Where she tould me-
Where did you tell him to put it.

I told him to take it up as far as he
could. an

INDIAN SUMMER.
It Does Not Come Until the Bright Days
of November.

It Does Not Come Until the Bright Days
of A1id-November.
Many persons, if they were asked about
it. would say. without hesitation, that the
last days of October are the real Indian
summer. The term is vaguely employed,
and at one time or another has been
stretched to include almost all the attract
i've weather with which we are blessed be-
tween the close of August and the 1st of
December. Thanks to the almanac, we
have got the idea very thoroughly into our
heads that summer ends on the 31st of
August. and when we find the skies still
warm and grateful after that date, and
the woods and fields still calling to us
with persuasive voices, we are a little per-
picked as torwhat we ought TO think about
it and whether 1t is really autumn or
summer come again. Thus we fall back
upon the familiar term. Indian summer"
which seems a sufficiently appropriate
compromise although there Is no special
justification for our selection of this I'M
certain phraseology.
1t would be much more satisfactory If
We should disabuse ourselves at once of
the notion that summer proper ends with
the month of August. There is nothing
in the atmosphere or in the appearance Of
the natural world to indicate any radical
Change in the season at or about that date
and the increasing custom of frightening
the vacation outing at the seashore or in
the mountains is proof sufficient that we
70
fact that summer really extends through
September, TO say the least. Let us say
Cor example that summer ends only when
the frosts of October have put q change
upon the face of things and this will not
only be nearer the truth than the estab-
lished conception of the season, but will
enable us also to get a fairer conception
OF when Indian summer makes its ap-
pearance. The photographer Worcester
quotes Or. Freeman as saying that the
term Indian summer is used in North
America TO define a season Of pleasant
weather in the late autumn, and this no
ton of its date is brought out in various
ways by most of the poets and versifiers
who have discoursed upon this subject.
And very prolific source of verse It has
been.
Here is one rhymer for instance who
tells us that Indian summer comes in
the autumns dotage mid-Noyember,
when skies seductive WOO the earth" and
another who places it within the period
when "the woodland foliage is gathered
by the wild November blast" when even
the thick leaves upon the oaken bough are
fallen, TO the last" Samuel Longfellow
says: Summer is gone. but summer days
return. The winds and frosts have strip
ped the woodlands bare" And fourth
poet tells us that the season comes after
Octobers biting frosts." From all Of these
quotations and many more like them. it
is apparent that the pleasant October days
are not the Indian summer, after all
