FEBRUARY WEATHER IS
AN UNSTABLE GUAM WITTY
Statistics from the Bureau Cover
ing the Last Thirty-Two
Years.

From reports that are given out at the
weather bureau the month OF February will
not be a record-breaker either for its ex-
IRENE cold or rising temperature. Informa-
ton last night was TO the effect that relief
would come to-day due 10 a rising tenn
perature. The thermometer will register
this morning in the neighborhood of 10 de-
grees above. and before night it will go as
high as twenty degrees. An extensive thaw
will cause all kinds of trouble in this vicin-
ity.
1t is interesting to note that the nearest
that summer weather was ever reached in
the month of February in the last thirty
two years was on Feb. 16. 1883. when the
thermometer stood at p degrees. The low
est the thermometer ever stood in the same
month was on Feb. 9. when it registered is
degrees below zero. The mean temperature
for the month OF February in the past
thrty-two years is 81 degrees. The warmest
February was in 1852, with an average of
AZ degrees. and the coolest month was in
1855. with an average of 20 degrees.
An average of $40 inches OF rain and
snow has fallen in the month of February
In the last thirty-two years, but the great
est monthly precipitation for February was
i'm 1Ss2. when 72S inches fell. and the small
est amount OF rain or snow falling in the
month was in 1902. when only OBJ inch
was recorded, 3-Uz lncneS, on req. ~. IN,
records the greatest amount of water fall
ing i'm the course of any consecutive TWEEN
ty-four hours.
Statistics bear out the adage that Feb
ruary is a thawing. but rainy month, for
I'm the last thirty-two years the average
number OF clear days was only six. partly
cloudy days nine. and cloudy days thir-
teen. The average velocity OF the wind
for this month has been seven hours and
prevailing from the northwest.
The earliest frost killing date within tho
time mentioned in the autumn was on Sept
q. The average date on which first frost
killing occurs Is Oct. p. The average da te
on which the last frost killing date occurred
In the spring was on April Is. and the --latest

success in Chicago, where it had a
vogue of nearly 200 nights. The orig

IAN American Hobo" Coming.


can American Hobo is the strik-
ing title of new play by E. E. Kid
der, the well-known author who wrote
" A Poor Relation peaceful Val
ley' and other plays which attained
considerable fame. The play is of
fered by the veteran manager, Z. ID.
Newell, and is story of American
life portrayed by American charac-
tiers, and told in a quick, sparkling
way, full of strong dramatic climaxes
brisk dialogue and brilliant comedy.
The central idea concerns the de-
frauding Of life insurance company
by a rascal named Job Barrett. Both
the idea and treatment are absolutely
new and original, if such things can
truthfully be said in dramatic writ
ing today. Job Barrett insures his
wife's life for $4,000, and then by
his scheming lays claim she died. he
has, however, stupefied her with
powerful drugs and keeps her close
prisoner in the top garnet of his
house where no one ever visits eX-
cept himself. He then substitutes
body, the face Of which has been
DESTROYED and the body is buried as
his wife's and he collects the $20,-
900 from the insurance company. His
step daughter, a little girl Of four
teen, the child of the ill-treated wife,
is away at school at this time and
knows nothing of her mother being
alive, being forbidden to so upon the
upper floor Of the house where tEe
victim is secreted. The suspicious
of detective connected with the in
surance company, named Warren
Wade. are aroused, and with the as
sistance of the woman s child, lit
tie girl named Flo, and his friend
Barker, and a quaint character, a
tramp called "Happy Jack he dis
covers the unfortunate woman secret
ed in the attic, being treated to slow
poison, and, after an exciting series
of adventures, restores her to her
daughter and friends, and metes out
the proper punishment to Barrett and
his accomplice, an adventures who
has agreed to marry him and fly ito
/ foreign lands with the $4,000 de-
frauded from the life insurance com
pany. The character of "Happ.
