second attack of winter for the season.
But there's consolation in knowing that
we're not going to have a long, cold win

day of January. Yet when we come TO
think of it, we remember that it was
February 2. 1881, when the SHOWS be.

kota in that never to-be-forgotton win
ter. On that date there actually felltwo
feet of snowfall in tw%enty-four hours
and it showed a little every day or two
until spring, which arrived the latter
part OF May. According to the history
of that winter there's yet time for four
mouths of winter. That was a long time
ago, however and as that kind OF wealth
err hasn't returned since, it 10 possible
that civilization has driven away such
wild yisitstions.-Ex
