four weeks and undoubtedly many VIII

any summer hitherto, yet this has
been the coolest summer season in the
history Of the valley. Old-timers say
that the backbone Of warm weather
is broken There will not be any
more DAYS warmer than those earlie3
in the season and the weather will be-
gin getting cooler after the first week
in September Il was said in the first
part Of the summer that because it be-
gan late the fail season would also
be late. but indications now are diff
ferent.

Two twin sister cats who have been
pets for a long time had, as is custom

of the bar. Six kittens were born to
each cat and they took them one at a
time to a secluded place in the rear
room. But the kittens got mixed. One
litter soon consisted Of eight and the
other was deprived of two. A quarrel
man who drowned all but two kittens,
leaving one for each mother The two
mothers with their young are still
there and located only Two or three |
feet apart. The kittens closely re- |
semble each other, and although they |
are snowy white in other respects |
there is a sprinkling Of black hair en-
their faces which gives them the APP |
pearance of having mustaches.
