May a Cold Month.

According to the weather man, the
present month promises to go down in
history as one of the coolest Mays on re-
cord. The highest maximum tempera-
ture for the month in Baltimore was 81
degrees, on May 10. Since 1871, the
year in which the keeping of the local
weather records was begun, there has
not been May during which this record
was not exceeded. The highest record
made during that time was in May, 1896,
when the thermometer recorded SO de-
grees. ! Only twice since 1871 has the
thermometer been lower in May than it
was this year. The minimum tempera-
ture for this May was 80 degrees, on the
18th. This record was beaten on May 2,
1908, when 81 degrees was recorded, and
again on May 1, 1876. when the mercury
dropped to "a degrees.
Ever since May 49," said Director G
F. Won Herman, this morning the YEA
Their has been remarkably cool FOR the
season throughout Maryland, avera ging
aver 10 degrees below the normal for the
month. Frost was quite general through
out the State last Wednesday morning.
and few places in the mountainous sec
tons of the State reported minimum
temperatures a. degree or two below
freezing.
'The present season recalls the remark
ably cool spring and summer of 1856 In
regard to this the memory of the oldest
inhabitant is for once correct At a
number of stations of which meteoro-
Iigical records are available the low
monthly mean temperatures recorded
that year have not since been equaled.
At some stations it is known that the
temperature that year did not reach 80
degrees during the whole summer. This
was the case at Frederick, Md

suit and bright yellow boots impressed
her unfav- rably.
The stranger appeared TO be aware
of the attention his splendor was Gre
ating. and a smile of satisfaction crept
over his face. He began to dangle his
fingers on his knees, the better to dis
play the magnificent diamond rings
with which they were bedecked.
However, the extraordinary affecta.
tions Of the man served to lessen the
discomforts of her journey. But it
was viii . feeling of satisfaction that
she left the bus and arrived at her
own home.
Then IL was that she made the dis
covery, or, to word it more accurately,
failed to make the discovery. Where
was her purse?
She remembered the fashily-dressed
stranger. He must have been a pick
pocket! Why had she not thought of
II before? And now he had made off
with her purse and nearly e5.
Once again the lady examined the
pockets of her jacket. Yes, there was
no doubt the purse was in the left
hand side when she entered the bus.
But what was this she felt between
her fingers?
she drew cut a gold ring, embedded
in which cleaned a diamond of ex.
ceptional size.
Paste" she reflected in disgust.
But the thing served to prove that it
was to the polite stranger that she
owed her loss.
Still, the brilliance of the Jewel
made it appear more genuine than she
had at first thought. II it were real.
she mused hopefully 1t would certain
ly be of vastly more value than G5.
The thought was exciting. The
more she examined the ring the more
convinced she became that the dia-
mond was not paste The next day
proved that her Judgment was correct,
for the jeweler to whom she submitted
the gem for his opinion offered to buy
il there and then for e75!
Thus 1t is seen that 1t is sometimes
advantageous to have ones pocket
picked-but not always.
