The Year Without a Summer.

The year 1916 has a remarkable cold
weather record and is known as ''the
year without q summer" In that year
there was a sharp frost in every
month, and the people all over the
world began to believe that some great
and definite change in the earth was
taking place. The farmers used to re-
fer to it as eighteen hundred and
starye to DEATH" Frost, ice and snow
were common in June. Almost every
green thing vas killed, and the fruit
was nearly all destroyed. During the
month snow fell to the depth of three
inches in New York and Massachu-
sets and ten inches in Maine. There

Taleins a Mean ADVANTAGE

Once a thrifty Scotch physician was
called to a case where a woman had
dislocated her jaw. He very soon put
her right. The woman asked how
much was to pay. The doctor named
his fee. The patient thought 1t too
much. He, however. would not take
less, and as the woman refused to give
him the fee he began to yawn. Yawn-
ing. as every one knows, is infectious.
aThe young woman in turn yawned.
Her jaw again went out of joint, and
the doctor triumphantly said, Now,
until you hand me over my fee your
jaw can remain as it is" Needless to
say. the money was promptly paid.
