MATCHING HOLES,

Some men were at work repairing a

They dug good sized hole. and
while two OF them were at work be

There was pile Of dirt about the
hole sufficient as n barrier TO keen

dirt. sometimes two or three ranks
deep. stood a ring OF men watching
the work.
Hour after hour some Of the men
stood with hands IN pockets and coat
collars turned up intent upon their oh.

Today has the distinction of being the coldest of the present winter. The observation taken at midnight last night showed the thermometer to be l degree above zero. At 8 o'clock this morning the mercury had dropped to 9 degrees below and at noon the temperature was just zero.
