came and the farner had not
been heard Of.
His wife became frightened
and alarmed the neighborhood.
All the neighbors joined in the
searching party. On the third
day they found him. He was
lying in hollow on the side
hill with both feet frozen; he was
half covered with snow, but alive.
Most of the sheep were lost.
A farmer near Tewksbury, VT,
owned a large field of corn. He
built fires. Nearly every night
he and his men took turns in
keeping up the fire and watch
ing that the corn did not freeze.
The farmer was rewarded for his
tireless labors by having the on
ly crop of corn in the region.
July came in with ice and
snow. On the 4th Of July ice
as thick as window glass formed
throughout New England, New
York and in some parts of the
state of Pennsylvania. Indian
corn, which. in some parts of the
East had struggled through May
and June, gave up, froze and
died.
To the surprise of everybody,
August proved the worst month
of all. Almost every green thing
in this country and Europe was
blasted with frost. Snow fell at
Barnet, thirty miles from Lon
don, England, on August 80.
Newspapers received from Eng
land stated that 1915 would be
remembered by the existing gen.
Grafton as a year in which there
was no summer. Very little corn
ripened in New England. There
was great privation, and thou
sands would have peiished in
this country had it not been for
the abundance of fish and wild
game. --Danbury, Conn, News.

throughout the United States
aud Europe as the coldest ever
experienced by any person then
living. There are persons in
Northern New York, who have
been in the habit of keeping
diaries for years, aud it is from
the pages of an old diary begun
in 1910 and kept up unbroken
until 1910 the following infor.
nation regarding this year with
out a summer has been taken:
January was so mild that most
persons allowed their fires to 90
out and did not burn wood ex.
cept for cooking. There were a
lew cold days, but they were
very few. Most of the time the
air was warm and springlike.
February was not cold. Some
days were colder than any in
January, 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 be.
came colder, and by the first of
May there was temperature
like that of winter, with plenty
OF snow and ice. In May the
young buds were frozen dead.
ice formed half an inch thick on
ponds and rivers, corn was kill
ed, and the cornfields were plant
ed again and again, until it be-
came too late to raise crop. By
the last of May in this climate
the trees are usually in leaf and
birds and flowers are plentiful i.
When the last of May arrived in
1915, everything had been killed
by the cold.
June was the coldest month of
roses ever experienced in this
latitude. Frost and ice were as
common as buttercups usually
are. Almost every green thing
was killed; all fruit was destroy
ed. Snow fell ten inches deep
in Vermont. There was a finch
fall in the interior of New York
State, and the same in Massa-
chusettes. There were only
few moderately warm days.
Everybody looked, longed,. and
waited for warm weather, but
warm weather did not come.
1t was also dry; very little rain
fell. All summer long the wind
blew steadily from the north in
blasts, laden with snow and ice.
Mothers knit socks of double
thickness for their children, and
made thick mittens. Planting
and shivering were done togeth-
er, and the farmers who worked
out the taxes on the country
roads wore overcoats and init
tens.

WRESTLING BOTH WERE
 NOT WELL sharkey and Gallagher Did Not Get Together Other Wrest-
 ling News.

At New York the wrestling bout scheduled to take place between Tom Sharkey and Dennis Gallagher at Maennerchor hall Thursday night was farce. Sharkey did not put in an appearance, but sent letter of regret Gallagher read Sharkey's let ter and then entertained some friends. When the time came for the bout to go on Dennis was half led and half carried to the ring. He said he had trained so much he was un- able to stand. He was unable to stand all right, but how he trained he did not say. To satisfy the crowd Phil Kelly, the ex-middleweight ann ateur champion. wrestled Gallagher and threw him twice in thirteen min utes. The other bouts were also slow. None of the contestants was paid.
 George Schwindelheim of New Britain has been contributing a lot of hot air literature to Meriden and New Britain papers about his ability as wrestler as compared with lzzy Winters. Louis Rosenstein posted a forfeit of $15 last night with the Hartford Courant for a match be- tween Winters and the New Britain man at 125 pounds. ROsenstein said he would keep the money mp a week and he would like the New Britain wrestler to cover it.
 Ernest Sharland, the Terrible Turk of New Britain, who was unable to meet Charles Olson of Hartford in the recent wrestling carnival in New Britain, has been matched to meet Olson when O'Connell and BOnefant come together this month.
 George Decker of Hartford and SirO Italiano of TorringtOn will wres- tie in Windsor Locks tonight for purse of $1OO. Decker is to try to throw the Italian twice in one hour at Graeco-Roman. Romeo Rollo of Mittineague and Louis MOntagna of TOrrington will wrestle in the pre- liminary at GraecO-ROman.
 Jim Barnes of Springfield and Ed Dickson of Canada are matchel to wrestle in Springfield next Wednes- day night for the middlewelght championship.

WATERBURY MEN LEAD.
A Foolish Challenge Received from
 Walter Johnson.

Hartford, March 2.--In the South ern New England championship pool tournament at Campbelrs last even- ing, Anthony Pinard of Meriden lost n cleverly played game to Bob Stone of Waterbury. Pinard. whose mother is very i'll at her home in Meriden as a result of a recent death in the fam fly. was not in the best of condition and said after the game that he felt he would lose, as he could not get his mind concentrated on the game. Stone played d good game aud made some clever shots. His high run was IS and Pinard's was If. 4 good crowd of local and out of town sports witnessed the contest, there being delegations present from both Waterbury and Meriden. Joe LanctO of Springfield. who recently defeated George Smith of Hartford in Spring field. was an interested spectator.
 Homer Fraser. who is conducting the tournament, got q typewriter let ter from Walter Johnson. who is at present making his home in the Sil- yer city. saying if Fraser will have q true table and the best pool balls ready at the time. he would be will ing to bet from $25 to $lOO that he can defeat the winner of the tou.na- ment. He is willing to post a forfeit of $25 on the match and will play the night the winner is declared. Johnson is next D the last man in the standing. but he seems to have confidence in himself. Perhaps he has not played as well as he could. The games scheduled for next week are as follows: Tuesday, Averill of Springfield vs Professor Harer: We'd nesday. Walter Johnson vs James Demonte: Thursday, Averill vs George Britt; Friday. Bob Stone of Waterbury vs Averill. The stand- ing to date fin fhe tournament follows.

FOR BLIND LETTERwRITERs.
Double End Tpye Prints Copies for
 Those Who See and Who Don't.

In order to provide means of cor respondence between the blind and between blind persons and those who have sight. Ernest Vaughan, the di- rector of the national asylum of the Quinze vingts. the refuge for the blind of Paris. has invented a spe- ,cial style of type and diminutive Uinting press. The type Is on it's face like ordinary type. but on the bottom of each character is cast the equivalent in the "braille" or point system. by which the blind read with their fingers on embossed paper.
 The letters are about the size of those used in the large headlines in The Sun, but are fatter in build and lighter in outline. The blind man sets them up by touch: many have already learned to set them up at the rate of 500 to 1000 letters an hour. They are locked in a frame as each page is completed. and the impress sion is taken on both sides simuItane- ously-in ink on the surface of the type upon ordinary paper. in em- bossed "braiIles" from the bottom Of the type on the sheets especially manufactured for that purpose. Thus the document can be read with equal ease by the blind and by those who can see. The type is. of course. made of hard metal.
 Fonts Of geo characters have been prepared for the use of French blind persons. and they are sold to the blind and their friends who desire to write to them st c very low price. the invsntor having refused to ae- eept any pro1t

wALLINGFoRD WON AGAIN.

Wallingford, March 2.-Before the banner crowd of the season Walling- ford defeated the Hartford team last night by the score of to 2, after three minutes and thirty-six seconds overtime play. Every man on the Wallingford team played gilt edged game, Saunders and Mccarthy play ing little shade the best for the locals. For Hartford, Starkie, who went on the last part of the first period, played the finest game at halfback seen here in many years. He was a stone wall and time and time again he broke up Wallingford rushes and saved Wiemert many stops. Wei inert. at goal, played grand game, as his score of Al stops shows, but save for Starkie, the goal tender would have had chance to double the number.
 The first period ended with the score 2 to 1 in favor of the home team. The second period was pro ductive of only one goal and this was caged by Wiley in 6:46.
 The third period was a whirlwind with each. team unable to score and the crowd. nearly wild. After 3:36 overtime play Mccarthy finally eluded Starkie and Weimert and the game was over. The lineup and sum- mary:

POEO THE LEADERS
 WERE IDLE Bridgeport Comes Up . Point By Beating New Haven alling- ford Won Again.

The Bridgeport polo team toyed with the aggregation representing New Haven, including the Bridgeport cast oil, Whipple, last night at New Haven. beating them 10 to 6, before the largest crowd of the season, in cluding some 200 rooters from Bridgeport, who were nearly crazy with delight at the result.
 Cunningham. was the bright and shining star of the evening, but both Duggan and Pierce played a great game, their work being such as to make the New Haven people open their eyes in surprise. The entire New Haven team seemed powerless to do anything to counteract their brilliant work. Jason did the best work for the New Haven team, but even he could not play the entire game alone successfully against the Park city aggregation.
 New Haven secured the advantage in the beginning of the game, but were soon passed by Bridgeport, who set such a hot pace that they scored almost at will in the third period. The lineup and summary:

pIAz AND THE BRlaANDs.
Instead of Hanging Them He Hired
 Them as Rural Guards.

When Porfirio Diaz became presi-
 dent in 1884 Mexico was full of brig

 ,a,us swarmed with bands of outlaws

 rIties who kept them posted as to the
 movements of travellers.
 Djaz krew that the resources Of
 Mexico could not be developed until
 brIrandage was stamped out 90 the or,Iers were to execute all brlgands. He overawed to a great extent the lawless population. but the mountains were still fastnesses for thieving bands.
 Then a bright idea came to him says the Arena. Many. perhaps most of these men had lost all they pos sessesi during the fierce wars. They had become outlaws largely through inc force of untoward circumstances. Might it not be a wise thing to of for these 1shmaels of civilization fiie opportunity to regain their foothold .mons law abiding citizensg ae- cpr,lingiy. when the brigands were caught they were questioned -How much money do you obtain week on the average in your law | less and criminal lifeT
 The prisoners answered. Diaz 'pop,iered- At last he announced that be would pay the bandits double the smount which they claimed as the avprage they obtained by thiesing. He would enroll them as members If the Mexican constabulary or Ru- raIe<. and they were to extend this p6rr to an the members of the hands khey knew: hut each man must swear tp serve the state with fidelity and

 The speaker. a druggist. went on earnestly:
 Shepherds enjoy remarkable health. The odd odor of a sheep seems to drive away disease. Sheep are especially good for whooping cough. In the sheep country. when child takes whooping cough. it is the custom for the mother to put it to play among the sheep. and the next day it is we'll.
