If the retiring of March had any
thing of the lion in it, the people have
been misinformed regarding those
characteristics when applied to the
weather. The month came in with
every lamb-like indication and went
out with nothing worse than a stiff
southern breeze that might almost
have been taken for hot wind, and
more seasonable in July than in
March. 1t is possible that the old
saying has lost caste in Nebraska
1t certainly has this year, because
March was very lamb-like on both
ends.
