Cool Snap Vetoes Stra.O Hats
 And Slammed Many Doors Shut

Br-r-r, did you notice 1t yesterday? Did you have fire? Did you get our your winter clothes of last year, and attend the opening of the stores and buy more warm things? Did you es- chew straw hats?
 All Montgomery got touch of the real article in cold weather yesterday, although there were those who chat tered on the street corners and nut tered inanities about fine bracing day little chilly, isn't it?', just about right without a vest or overcoat," etc.
 And the person in charge of the local weather bureau in the government building sat in his easy chair and smilingly announced that the temper ature at the very coldest time of the morning was but 71 degrees. and that he expected a drop of fifteen or twen- ty degrees more this morning. One mo- ticed. however. that all of the win dows of the office were down tight

and that persons were requised to close the door carefully without slamming.
 Placing his glasses carefully upon his nose, the weather person Inspected his official map and announced that the cold wave was due to a high barome- ter over Idaho moving in an Eastward ly direction. Looking closer at the checkered and lined map, he announce ed that there had been frost reported at several points in Texas and O,-la- homa, but that the cold snap would not bring Jaques Frost to Alabama on this trip.
 While 1t really wasn't very cold yesterdsy. the drop of temperature fror tae day previous, accompanied by the brisk wind, made 1t seem all the colder, and winter clothes were cer- tainly in order, especially as the mer- chants, with smiles on their faces, well comed the fall shoppers.

 Behind the Seryian the little soldier answered sharply in English:
 .All steady, sir,'
 The use of strange tongue added to the Servian's bewilderment and he fled toward the gate with Oscar hard after him. Then Armitage suddenly leaped out of the shadows directly in his path and stopped him with ieveled re- yolyer.
 Easy work, oscar, Take the gentle mans gun and be sure 10 find his knife"
 The task was 10 Oscars taste. and he made quick work of the Seryian's pockets.
