GATE is FROM 100 DEGREES UP
The Weather Man Melted at His Post
While Trying to Control the Antics
of the Thermometer Which
Run High in the Bulb.

Old Sol has been running things
his own way during part of the
past week. Saturday he run the
mercury up to 102 degrees in the
shade, and on Sunday he went a few
better, and did not stop making peo-
pie sweat during the day or night,
the thermometer registering LOG
degrees in the shade. Monday was
not quite so bad, although the 100
mark was passed. And the worst of
all was Sunday night when the
cherished theory of Lake Sup rior-
ties who MAINTAIN that ''the even
ings are always cool' was proven to
be only a theory, aud a poor one at
that. 1t was sweltering hot, and
the oldest citizen cannot recall
more sitting and exhausting wealth
er One would almost believe that
they had been suddenly transplanted
from the region where the boasted
zephyrs are wont to blow to the re
gion of the tropics.

It's the Poetry of a Decade,

The Washburn Times is running a
very interesting series of articles on
Historic Madeline from the pen of
Editor J. E. Jones. They are also
using considerable matter written
by Governor Fifield of this city
The articles are very interesting and
instructive, and make nice feature
in the Times. 1t is said that Jones
stretches history little bit in some
parts of the articles. This is prob
ably s poetic license. Ashland
