JUNE, JULY AND AUGUST.
JANUARY TOO WARM
FOR FIRES

The year 1916 was known through
out the United States and Europe as
the coolest ever experienced by any
person then living, says the Danbury
Conn., News. There are persons in
Northern New York who have been
in the habit OF keeping diaries FOL
years, and it is from the pages of an
old diary begun in 1910, and kept up
unbroken until 1910 that the follow
ing Information regarding this year
without summer has been taken:
January was so mild that most
persons allowed their fires to 40 out
and did not burn wood except for
cooking. There were few cold DAYS.
but they were very few. Most of the
time the air was warm and spring
like. February was not cold. Some
days were colder than any i'm Janu-
airy, but the weather was about the
same. March, from the list to the
9th, was inclined to be windy. 1t
came in like a small lion and went
out like a very innocent sheep.
April came in warm. but as the
days grew longer, the air became
colder and by the flrst of May there
was temperature like that of win
ter with plenty of snow and ice. In
May the young buds We're frozen
dead. ice formed half an inch thick
on ponds and rivers. corn was killed.
and the cornfields were planted again

On June IL there was a heavy fall
OF snow. a Vermont farmer sent a
Hook of sheep to pasture on June l6.
The morning of the 18th dawned
with the thermometer below the
freezing point. About 9 O'Clock in

started TO look for his flock. Before
leaving home he turned TO his wife
and said, jokingly:
Better start the neighbors soon:
it's the middle of June and | may
get lost I'm the snow"
An hour after he had left home
a terrible snowstorm came up. The
snow fell thick and fast, and as
there was SO much wind, the neecv
masses piled i'm great drifts along
the windward side of the fences and
outbuildings. Night came and the far
mer had not been heard of.
His wife became frightened ana
alarmed the neighbors. An the
neighbors poined the searching mar

School Secret Societies.

Public school authorities of the coun.
try are confronted with a serious con-
d1tion growing out Of the activities OF
the secret societies in high schools.
Parents are beginning to feel that the
fraternity idea has been overdevel-
oped and that the social aspect of
school life has assumed altogether too
large a proportion in the eyes of the
children.
High school pupils may not be likened
in this respect to college students, who
in the great majority of cases are sent
away from home to complete their ed
ucation. The high school pupil is still
under the parental control, and the
parent is directly responsible There
should be no secrets on the part of Il
boy or girl that cannot be shared
with the father or mother The fra
ternity in such circumstances tends to
breed an unwholesome independence,
which may lead far beyond the petty,
trifing affairs of the fraternity, the
secrets Of the meeting room, the sym
bolism Of the ritual into grave affairs
Of life.

He stood at the ticket window slowly
unrolling an old fashioned leather bag.
while a dozen men stood behind him,
driven to madness by the shouting Of
the gatemen calling their trains. After
he got about a yard and a half of bag
unrolled he suddenly stopped and said
to the ticket clerk:
us that clock right?"
mo, SIR
Tain't?" shouted the startled pas
Eenger, STOPPING down and making a
sudden clutch at a lean and hum
cry carpetbag. "'Tain't right? Well,

ye have it stuck up there for, then?"
ITO fool people," calmly replied the
clerk. '"That's what we're here for-to

hurriedly rolling up his bag. 'I've
missed my train. I'll report you,
will!'
wont do any good. It's the compa-
ny's orders. They pay a man to 60
round every morning to mix and mud
die up all the clocks, so that not one of
them will be right and no two of them
alike''
The passenger gasped twice or thrice,
but could not say anything. The ticket
clerk went On:
'1ts the superintendent idea. He
is fond of fun, enjoys a joke, and it
does him good to see man jump about
and hear him jaw when he buys a
ticket and then finds his train has been
gone two hours"
(Which way is this clock wrong?'
the passenger asked in despairing ac-
cents-"fast or slow?'
| Don't know. That's part of the fun
not to let anybody in the building know
anything about the right time. All 1
know is that it's about ninety minutes
wrong one way or the other"
With a hollow groan the passenger
grabbed his bag and made a rush for
the door, upsetttng any man who got
in his way. In about two minutes he
came back, crestfallen and meek, and
took his place at the end Of the line.
When once more he walked up to the
window he said, as he named his sta
ton and bought his ticket like a sane
man:

did?'

The two men left the snug bachelor

their conversation. Saturday Bowen
took his suit case and made for the
train. He looked all around, but there
was no trace Of Sturgis. Until the
last moment Bowen hung about the
gate, but his rival did not put in an
appearance, and Bowen gritted his
teeth. Probably Sturgis had taken the
