Milder Weather.

Declaring that the "gOosebone prophets"
are away off in their prognostications, and
that many of the alleged weather signs"
are but pack Of rubbish, John T. Roberts,
a well-known resident Of Darby, Pa, who
has correctly forecasted the winters for
years by an infallible sign declared that
the rural weather sharps who have gotten
into print by declaring that the winter will
be of unusual severity are far wrong in
their calculations.
II have been a close observer Of the
weather for forty years" said Mr.. Roberts,
with smile. land in all that time have
never gone wrong in forecasting the win
ter months. | take my observations on the
three days of the fall equinox. September
20, 81 and %, and base my calculations
on the direction of the wind for those three
days. The first day, September 20, gives
us the weather for December. The second
day. the equinox, September 81, gives us
the weather for January, and the third day
gives conditions for February.
According to the observations January
will be warm, with rains in the first half of
month, turning to mild and clear weather
the last half. February, also. will be mild
winter month, and March will be mild also,
with an early spring.
The winds on September 81, which give
us the indications for January. were in the
southeasterly quarter in the morning, and
from the south in the afternoon, from
which we learn that the weather in the
early part of the month will be warm, with
rains the first half Of the month and mild
and clear the last half. September %, the
wind was southwest by west, giving us a
mild February, with generally clear weather
Il have made these observations for
years, and have never known them to fail.

Darby, has been making them also as lone
as have, and he will corrobOrate what

Turnpikes Must Be Free.

From Tie Io,os0n Neaos Bdit0 County
"The State Commission is determined
not to buy any turnpikes This was made
plain on Wednesday to delegation Of
property owners along the Liberty road.
who called at the Commissions office in
the city and urged that the Liberty pike
be included in the list of roads to be inn
proved. They told a narrowing tale of the
present condition of the road and said that
Frank H. Galloway, who is now in Florida,
and who owns the road, had offered to sell
it to the State for $4,000 or to give it
free, provided he is allowed the stone in
the bed of the road. II is estimated the
the stone is worth about $4,000. 1t was
stated that the road has not paid divi-
dend for 20 years. and that it never will
pay again Chairman John M. Tucker, of
the Commission, remarked that if that was
correct the best thing Mr.. Galloway could
do would be to give the road away. Both
Mr. Tucker and Governor Crothers said that
if the road could be obtained without cost
it would be included in the list of those to
be improved, but that they were opposed
to paying out money for the beds of roads
or turnpikes. The delegation promised to
see if Mr.. Galloway could not be induced
to give the Liberty road free

Unique Animal Born

The Department Of Agriculture is the
proud possessor Of zebras--ta fact, il is
the proud posse Of two--but What the
Mural of zebra is nobody Hau,hority Seems
willing to say. The fact remains that there
are two of them at the Goyeuffnent Agricul-
turaI Department Experiment Station al Be-
tbesda, this county and they are the first
bvbrids of the zebra born in the United
States and the first Of this particular sort
of hybrids born anywhere. The mothers

zebras sent by the Emperor Menelik to this

of Agriculture was ndous to raise by

thought that it night Pfove valuable
animal for beas' Of burden, and as there
are not many greavy zebras IN captivity
it was the more dtsira Dle to have one of

The greavy is decidedly larger animal

pected that the pfogeq viii be fairly

dropped Jan and the other in December.
They are both getting on well and promise
to be lively youngsters. They ought to be
tough enough in all conscience. for the
zebra is about the toughest thing in the
horse line in the world, except the burro,
ard that is so tough that the inhabitants
Of the southwest say you never see dead

tiers of the American Revolution in Mont
gomery county was held in the club house

ty is requested in this laudable work, which

otism of their ancestors, the glorious he
roes of the American Revolution, who
dedicated their lives and their estates to
the defense of their rights and liberties.
Mrs. Croxall desires the membership of
this Charter Chapter to consist of ladies
