THE WINTER WILL BE COLD.
An Old Fashioned Sign Points t.
Very Severe weather.

There is good old fashioned Sign
that the coming winter will be a Sc
we're one, twentieth century omen
lconoclasts to the contrary notwith-
standing. Grandparents held firmly
TO the belief that where there was q
suberabundance Of fruits. and nuts
Dame Natures liberality was but the
display Of wisdom In providing her
children substance for the severe win
ter that was coming.
Another Sign" that has been no.
ticeable for the past week or ten days
Is the unusually blood red sunsets,
and even long after Old Sol has pull
ed up his last tent flap and the day is
done, the sky remains glory of deep
crimson which gradually fades away
before the silvery rays OF the sllyery
moon. These signs were all firmly be-
lieved In by our e-fathers. The
wild fruits and nuts are said to exist
IN great quantities this year. Hence
the winter should be an unusallv hard
one.
Farmers are getting to be 80 up.to.
date that they come to lose faith IN
the signs that have been believed In
since the beginning Of things. Belief
In the efficiency of>the ground hog as
the forccaster OF the weather, In the
time honored goose bone as an indlca-
tion OF cold or mild weather, or in the
size of the nut crop as signs OF the
sort OF weather. mid or frigid-that
is to distinguish the wintry season.
had all been relegated to the depart
ment OF tradition In ancient history.
Time was when the dweller along
the country side held himself to his
oak tree or his chestnut grove or look
at his walnut or hickory trees: to get
his tip on the weather probabilities
for the winter. Il the crop oi acorns
was large or the yield of nuts was
great on the trees, the believer OF
such signs would smile to himself-if
he had his oak and lightwood In and
liked o cold winter and said: MIN.
We'll have a severe winter, plenty Of
FROST" Nowadays all signs look alike
to him. II the nut crops are abun-
dant, he's we'll satisfied; If they are
scanty, he takes it phllosophically;
but he no longer pins his faith to such
things. The seasons have changed,
he, says, and you can't bank on any
thing

ness with which the work has been
done. there is an inclination on the
part of some of the members of the
board TO give him the contract. The
REVIEW. while maintaining its posi-
ton OF II year ago that the contract
should be given To the lowest respon.
sible bidder. is yet willing to admit
that there is much force in the argu,
ment that Nal. Parker has done good
and efficient work. AS there is but 3
small difference in the bids the board
could not be criticised if they TOOK
this view of the ease The matter will
be decided to day.

Refractive power Of the ruby.

The primitive form of the spinel
ruby is like that of the diamond. eight
sided. which distinguishes it at once
from the oriental stone. The color of
the genuine ruby is that of the arte-
rial blood. or pigeons blood. as it is
called. 1t is extremely hard and after
the sapphire is the hardest of the
corundums. which renders it difficult
to understand why the earth so rarely
gives it up. Its tint is rs beautiful by
artificial light as by day. and its pow
ers of reflection are so great that an
Gent belief credited it with power of
emitting light. The ancients even sup
posed that it would shine through
clothing with undiminished power.

SECRETARY SHAN
BADLY SCAREL
Jealous Watchman With Two
Pistols the Cause.
The Secretary Pushed the Wrong Bnt.
ton But Will Not do it The
Second Time.

The following is from recent Wash
ington special:
Secretary Shaw went over to the
Treasury Department this morning to
read some of his letters. He took
friend from Iowa with him.
The Secretary found one long letter
that interested him He leaned back
in his chair to read it. AS he leaned
back he threw one foot on the corner
of the desk. The friend from Iowa, sat
looking out of the window. Half q
minute after the Secretary put his foot
on the desk an excited man. with a big
pistol in each hand, burst into the room
He looked around and pointed both
pistols at the friend from Iowa.
Don, shoot yelled the Iowa man
as he put both hands high in the, air.
Mr.. Shaw kicked his chair over a nd
made Il wild leap for the other side of
the room.
"Whats the natter" inquired the
nj an with the pistols. rs this man
trying to roo you?" and he motioned
suegestively with one of his pis tolls.
No. No. shouted Mr. Shaw, from
his vantage point on the other side of
the room. That's no robber. That's
nv fried There's some mistake.
The Secretary was right There
was MISTAKE. When he put his foot
on the desk he pressed the button that
calls watchman to mis- office in a hurry,
and the Waterman came in hurry just
as he was expected to.
