London and one from New York, were
discussing the weather in their respec-
tive countries.
The Englishman said that English
weather had one great faults sud.
den changes.
"A person may take walk one
day" he said, "attired in light SUM-
mer suit, and still feel quite warm.
Next day he needs an overcoat."
That's nothing" said the American.
MY two friends, Johnson and Jones.
were once having an argument. There
were eight or nine inches of snow on
the ground. The argument got heated.
and Johnson picked up SNOWFALL and
threw it at Jones from a distance of
not more than five yards. During the
transit of that SNOWFALL, sir, believe
