Hot Weather Squibs.

Dog days are said to take their name
from the rising of the Dog star (Sir-
rius) during that period coincident
with the rising of the sun. 1t is popu-
larly believed that dogs are more liable
to go mad during this season than any
other time. In view of the sample of
weather that accompanied the advent
of dog days this year, we sincerely be-
lieve that the privilege ought not to
be confined to dogs.
In cold, freezing winter we put on
all the clothes we can pay for, absorb
all the hot drinks we can get hold of,
and fight chills and congestion of the
lungs. Now in hot, scorching summer
we take off all of the clothes the law
will allow, fill the interior of our an
atomy with frozen punches, ice cream
and chilling liquids and fight sun
strokes and cramps In the stomach
Verify man is born to sorrow and life
is battle field.
1t is a painful sight to watch bus.
iness or professional man choring
around the family homestead wearing
the same clothes in which he is to APP
pear at his place of business or study
In spite of all he can do, the water will
fly from the sprinkling hose and spat-
ter his shirt front. The wet grass will
soil his shoes and put a ruffle on his
pants, unless they are of the high
water variety. He pulls up bunch of
weeds and the dirt flies up into his
whiskers and spots him all over like a
leopard. About this time, the family
dog who has been running in the wet
grass and dirt, takes sudden notion
to romp little with his master and be-
fore he can be headed off he has placed
two dirty feet on the most exposed
portion of the boss trousers. No one
would expect the man to preserve a
cool and placid indifference to all of
this, and about at this juncture he
generally gets hot, kicks the dog,
knocks over the hose cart and starts
for the house by way of the back
kitchen, Ito avoid his wife, and find
clothes brush, sponge and some shoe
blacking. To this man we would say,
follow our illustrious example and be
happy. When we feel like frolicking
around in the back garden and front
lawn, we always don large pair of
bib overalls which we usually find
standing in corner of the wood shed.
These are so "high wide and hand
some," that we need but little else
with which to adorn our person, and
then we go to work so comfortably.
There is JOY and comfort in working
with a pair of bib overalls on. You
pursue your duties with grace and
abandon that amounts almost to reck-
lessness. You don't care pickayune
where the dirt and water goes that you
throw in the air and your wife, who
may have recently cleaned the porch
and steps and has line full of white
clothes in the back yard, is the only
one who will worry bit. Yes, if you
want to be happy choring this hot
weather wear pair of bib overalls, you
won't need much of anything else.
