WILL THE WINTER BE.
Some Facts Wherein to Base
Your Own Weather Prediction

The amateur weather prophets,
who in long distance torecasting really
hit it correctly just about as often as
the official sharps paid by Uucle Sam,
have decided that this is to be hard
winter, for reasons both numerous and
interesting.
From such widely distant points as
Households, N, Y. Bulls Bridge,
Conn, and Yaphank, L. L., comes the
news that the nut crop is especially
heavy this year, and that the squir-
rels are beginning to work Overtim e
in gathering it in. In itself this is al
most sure sign.
Uncle Ephraim Dusenherry, who
has been keeping an eye on the wealth
er in Households for nigh on seventy
years, says he never knew IL to fail
that when nuts were plentiful and the
squirrels quit playing aud got busy
gathering them in before September
was out that the Chemung canal
would be frozen thick enough for skat-
ing clear through to Elmira before
Christmas, and he'd have his sleigh
going right along from Thanksgiving
near to Easter.
"You see," Uncle Eph says, this
here is natur's bountiful provision for
the little cusses that depends on her.
She knows what she's goin' to do, an
she provides accordin'."
Now, of course, it could be possible
that nature might have forgotten her
self for once and is throwing in a full
supply of nuts just out of sheer liber-
atty without intending tn snow up
and Bulls Ridge and the
other famous nutting places from ear
ly fall until late in the springtlme.
Or she might change her mind about
the weather after supplying possible
needs in the woods.

day, Sept rs, and was not addressed

Identification. 1t read in part as fol-
lows:
"My Darling Henry: hope you have

love you, dear, but if l can't just whis-
per it to you, and send it through the
air on what choose to think are the
very wings Of love, then I'll keep the
secret to myself"

note he decided that it wasn't meant
for him and put it back in the cylinder
and fastened it once more to the car
rier pigeons leg. There was some
thing else in the note, but Mr.. Payne
said that was nobody's business but
that of Darling Henry"
Mr.. Payne turned from the window
after starting the pigeon on its journey
again, apparently refreshed by it's
drink from the visitors cup, to find
the fourth postmaster general, half a
dozen inspectors and a district attor-
neY's assistant awaiting to tell him
about the crooks in the postofice de-
partment and the rascality and fraud
that had been uncovered in the last
twenty-four hours.

ASKED ABOUT YOUR RELIGION
Empudent Query Put by Atlanta
Directory CanVaSSers.

There will be new kink in the
Atlanta city directory of 1904.
"What church are you member off"
asks the mild-mannercd man who calls
at your door for directory information
"And what in thunder do you want
to know that for?" is the usual re-
spouse. 1t seems the preachers want
this information. They want to spot
the sinners
eff you are not a member of any
church, toward what church do you
lean?" is another question.
There is no telling where this thing
will end. The new directory ought to
be read with great interest, and we
may expect entries like the following
"John Jones, Methodist"
John Brown, would like to be Bap-
list"
John Smith, fell from grace.
"James Jones, backslider."
James Brown, Methodist, but
doesn't work at it any more"
The chances are that the directory
people will have busy time explain
ing as soon as the volume is issued.

Postmaster General Payne was
standing at the open window of his
private Office late yesterday afternoon
talking to a friend when something
round and soft and feathery darted out
of the sky, brushed Mr. Payne's cheek
and fell in heap on the floor, says a
Washington dispatch. The postmaster
general, after a moment of startled
surprise, stopped and picked up a
painting and very tired carrier pigeon
Around one of the birds legs was a
tiny silver band engraved with the
initials ST. j. T., and Der, 42l9"
The other leg carried a tiny metal
cylinder.
Curious it should come in here,"
remarked the postmaster general.
perhaps it's message from Miss
Todd" said the friend with a glance
at the initials on the silver band.
Mr.. Payne didn't think it worth
while to reply to this, but after giving
the pigeon drink from the engraved
silver tankard reserved for congress
ional and other visitors of prominence
he undid the clasp of the little cyl
inder, thinking that he might be able
to return the bird to it's owner. The
cylinder contained a tightly rolled
sheet of thin paper, which the post
master general spread ON his knee,
feeling, as he afterwards expressed it,
as if he had "robbed the aerial mail. :"
Mr.. Payne nearly fell out of his
chair when he read his own christian
name at the head of the sheet of pa
per, copied with an adjective not in
general use in official correspondence
