Weather seems to be having troubles
of his own just at present. We
thought a month ago that spring had
conquered winter. Now it seems to
be a question as to whose innings will
amount to the most. At any rate
there's no shadow Of doubt as to
who's at the bat. Some Of the balls,
even we've been expecting to be snow
balls.

Apropos of enjoyable things we
wish to say that the elders col
umn' is the most readable portion
Of The Herald and News, unless the
Prosperity letter be excepted. He
writes we'll and pointedly. We have
been wondering, for lack of better
pastime, just what improvements, ETC.,
Mr.. Idler would suggest were he to
troll over our streets. If he came
in on one Of the evening trains he
would grope around and inquire what
awry with the dynamo. Then next
he'd try to find the sink to obtain
artesian water. Later he'd strenuous
lv oppose sleeping on the second OR
third floor on account Of no fire pro-
lection. whatever. He see the next
day not a few things that were
worthy of commendation, and he d
praise them, adding by way Of paren-
thesis, that he's glad he's not one of
tie local bellies or beaux for they
have no park to which to stroll and
tell their troubles, joys or aspirations.
If some people, the fond parents,
and clergymen for instance knew
what an inexpensive matrimonial
! agency a park is, they'd begin at once
; to make the school campus veritable
garden OF Eden and name it the
, the :PeaceStead' for rood luck.

Ter mother, Mrs. Geo. Merchant who
