Former Warm Winters.-While there is
doubt whether later winter is to set in in earn

at Plymouth. Bluebirds sang and butterflies
fitted about. Grass was green and cherry
tree was in bloom. Boys went in bathing in the
ponds. On January 18th it was recorded that
Captain Parker Hall had 'put in most of the

man fed his hens on grasshoppers. March 22d
Mayhowers were plentiful. The fact is, If one
overhauls history he will find there was some
kind of weather vagary every few years. There
was a year when New England had snow, ice
or frost every month in the year. So winter
summer and summer winter are not surpris-
ing if you know the records. Happily, they
occur only about once in century.

agree will prove for the benefit of the city.
That county is today the richest in Maryland,
having more than four times the wealth of the
second on the list. 1t has more industries,
more population than any other and shows a
far greater annual growth than any other
yerv large part of these most valuable posses
sions is due to the fact that it has for its near
neighbor the great and generous and good city
of Baltimore. which in its kindness of heart
and sincere friendship does not refuse to allow
some of its population, some of its wealth and
some of its industries to stray across the bor-
der line and find permanent homes under the
county's jurisdiction. So good neighbor GER
tainy has right to look for fair treatment
and to ask for reasonable explanation when
it gets the other kind.
SThere was q report current at the State Cap
ital lastsweek that one or more of the delegates
from Baltimore county would oppose a. city
scheme for building an immense reservoir IN
the valley of the Gunpowder so thatthe water
supply can never run short, no matter how
dry the weather, or how thirsty the people
may become. The opposition is based on the
false notion that the citys requirement OF
this property would mean considerable reduc-
ton in the county's taxable basis. Now
when Baltimore city does q. piece of work in
the county il does that work we'll. It is not in
the habit of reducing the value of land, but OF
enhancing it. If such reservoir is built 1t
will be one of the county's chief show places
and the property values in that neighbor-
hood will rise.
"Neighbors' quarrels or disagreements are
never profitable to either. Peace is far better
than war between those who live next door to
each other, and the people of Baltimore coun-
ty know this as we'll as do the people of Balti-
more CITY. All objection to the proposed res
ervoir should promptly fade away and the
county make welcome a scheme which means
the spending of more than one million on
magnificent public improvement"

OVERLOOKED, HUNG HIMSELF
Queer Explanation Offered to Ac-
count for Suicide.

Buffalo, n. Y, Jan. .1S.-ln fren-
zy of joy, according to his family,
over his relief from the horrors of
Russia, Michael Kleeman, an oppress-
ed resident of that country, who had
been in America less than two years,
committed suicide by hanging.
Kleeman was a name which he had
assumed since arriving in the United
States. After fourteen months of
hard toll, Kleeman saved enough to
bring his wife and family here. They
arrived about month ago.
About 3 clock in the morning
Kleeman arose and made moose
with a clothes line. He fastened
one end of the rope to the hinge of
the bedroom door while standing on
chair. After placing the moose
around his neck, he kicked the chair
from beneath him. His feet were
within a few inches of the floor, and
he strangled.
His wife found the body hanging
at 4 o'clock She said that he was
temporarily crazed with JOY.
Kleeman worked as car repairer
in East Buffalo. His family is near
ly destitute.

SHE HAD HER SAY.
A Girls Revolt Against "a Award .
VaIedfctOry HOnors.

VaIedfctOry HOnors.
IT think the greatest shock ever ex-
perienced and the biggest revolt against
my discipline occurred when | was
teaching in a country high school, said
the schoolteacher 'It was in school
where the valedictory honor was award
ed by popular vote of the school. a most
unjust method. by the way, but one to
which l was forced to succumb. The
girl who received the most votes was
by no means the best scholar. and the
pupil who ranked highest in scholar
ship was plainly indignant.
Every boy and girl in the class was
obliged to write and read a graduation
essay, and it was my task to look these
essays over and aid in the rewriting Of
them. The pupil who ranked the high
est in the class handed in her essay to
lie with some Defiance and in it ]
found some reference to the valedict0ry
honor being rightly hers. l cut it out
and told her plainly that nothing of
that sort should go into her paper. She
agreed to leave it out.
"The graduation exercises were pass
ing off splendidly when it came her
turn to read her essay. She had facile
way of writing, and | was proud Of
her, but when she reached whatI knew
was the conclusion she stepped forward
a little and proceeded to deliver two
pages of regulation valedictOry. She
babe farewell to the class. the school
and the teachers, and of course we
could not stop her. 1t took all the sails
out of the chosen valedictOrian, who fol-
lowed, and after the exercises there
was much wailing and hot words. We
couldn't do a thing, as the sinner was
now a graduate of the school, and we
had no right to punish her. but it took
me all summer to get over the effect
of such a stunning performance.'-New
