Summer of Universal Foo.

Europe and Asia were covered by
fog during the summer of 1888, SAYS
Gilbert White (letter 109). 'The
summer of the year 1883 was an amaz.
ing and portentous one for,
besides the alarming meteors and ire
mendous thunderstorms the pc
culiar haze. or smoky fog. that pre-
vailed for many weeks in this island
(England) and in every part of
Europe, and even beyond it's limits,
was a most extraordinary appearance.
The heat was intense Calabria and
part of the Isle of Sicily were torn
and convulsed with earthquakes. /"
Cowper also refers to this phenome
non, in speaking of nature with a
dim and sickly eye"

Il beg you, sir, to consider the
words of the poet. Take an optimis-
tic view of the matter. Why suffer
pain to fill your breast because cup
of coffee spills within your lap? 1t
could have been more dreadful than
/ was-you might have got boiler
full, old chap"
The man who was accustomed to
heaVing kegs gave A. Spriggs vio-
lent push, sending him against the
sad young man, who returned the
compliment by deftly knocking Mr..
Spriggs from the stool on which he
had been perched. In order to avoid
trouble Addison Spriggs tossed Is
cents to the cashier, as he was leav-
ing the place, and by that time the
feeble appetite he had possessed when
he entered was gone. He therefore
decided to return to his Office. The
elevator was crowded when he began
to wedge his way in, and it was while
he tried to get his umbrella into
safe position that he jabbed the end
of it into the ear of short and testy
man at his right.
Here! Whatcha doin', you Nanny

demanded Get that umbrella out
of my system or I'll punch your
head"
Eyes, and quit 1ettin' 1t drip on

where he got more than his rightful
share of moisture.
my good friends" said Addison
Spriggs, permit me to ask you to
consider the words of the optimistic
bard, When on your head brick de-
scends, be not downcast, but think it
well that it was not, as you passed
by, milestone that upon you fell 4"
This, unluckily, was considered an
insult added to injury, and at the sew
enth floor Addison Spriggs was flung
out of the elevator so violently that
he fell upon his umbrella, running it
and almost impaling himself.
"Optimism's good thing till you
try to practice it," he sadly, said as
he returned to work.

Aren't you going to try to do any
thing?" she cried, a little peevishly.
What can l do? We don't know
where we are, therefore what is the
good of my going on rowing. Wish we
were ashore out of it.
A little wave struck the boat in such
a fashion as to throw buckettul OF
spray over her gunWale. 1t was nolh-
ing, and had the craft been under con-
troll would not have happened at all
Sinclair got wet, and this startled him.
Mabel was now thoroughly frightened.
Il am very sorry l trusted myself
with you upon the water" said she,
her underlip beginning to culver.

at was not my suggestion, and 1t looks
to me as though we are likely to be
out here all night"
"a pretty thing" the girl was be-
ginning, then checked herst ana 1elI
silent.
Sinclair mopped himself with his
handkerchief and gazed round upon the
cheerless scene of shrouded sea.
A species of strange chickering's caught
his eye as far as he could see in the
direction toward which they were drift
ing He watched it with dull curiosity.
AT the same time it seemed to him that
there was a deeper note in the seething
wash of the tide, crisped into brisk
run as it was by the salt, damp breeze.
Then the truth dawned upon him
that flicker was nothing more nor less
than the Goodwin breakers.
The alarming significance of this dis
covery did not instantly break in upon
the young fellow. But realization OF
the danger was not long in coming to
his frightened perception. Wind and
tide were carrying the punt dead to-
ward that dreaded shoal at toler-
ably rapid rate. 1t is possible that the
Elusive effect of the mist magnif1ed
the true proportions of the breakers.
At any rate, they wore very terrify-
ing aspect as they curled over, burst
ing into showers of spume and spray,
and, notwithstanding his ignorance of
sea matters, he guessed that once the
little craft got into that broken water
she would soon be swamped.
Mabel was surprised to see him sud
denly seize the oars toss them over and
begin to pull with swift almost fever
ish strokes.
"What are you doing now?" she
asked
He jerked his chin in the direction of
the pallid line of surf 1.-THE Good
wins!" he gasped. 1--WE mustn't get
there"
The girl started a minute, then said
in a low voice: eff we do we shall be
drowned"

he would have known how very much
adrift he really was.
I'VE ought soon to be sighting the
beach again now" continued the girl.
Il wish this fog would lift. One would
have thought that a breeze like this
would blow away. 1t is blowing quite
fresh now, and-and-I wish we were
on shore again.
Sinclair did not answer. He was
getting just a trifie blown" and in
consequence a trihe irritable. A big
steamer suddenly doomed up out of the
smother, gliding along dead slow; She
passed them within pistol shot and
man in brass buttons up on the bridge
shouted out something. What it was
neither of them caught, and in min
ute the great vessel had vanished
again.
Well not to spin out this passage OF
the little story, there arrived a mo-
ment when conviction suddenly came
to Aubrey Sinclair that something was
amiss. He glanced at his watch, after
he had been rowing in what he deemed
to be the return direction Tor ABOUT
quarter of an hour more than he had
occupied in pulling out from the shore
before turning; he had, moreover, piled
the oars very much more industriously
but there was certainly nothing to in
dictate that the land was anywhere
near.
Il am afraid" said he, in falterine
way, resting upon his paddles and
peering anxiously about him, that we
are not going right"
81 have been thinking the same,
answered Mabel. 1--WE ought to have
been back again before now. What is
to be done?"
Bothered if 1 know! Deuced aWk-
ward thing to be adrift in a fog! You
can never be sure where you are go
ing. Wish we were back out of 1t,

Eyes, but that isn't going to help US.
Do you think the fog will clear soon?'
Doesn't look much like it, he re-
torted gloomily.
And, in truth, it did not. The wind
was carrying The mist along in minute
beads of wet, like a horizontal drizzle.
The boat was beginning to courtesy
in a short, uneasy manner upon the top
of the water.
II suppose you really don't know
what to do now?" said Mabel, with
Just a touch of contempt coming into
her voice, for although the suggestion
had been her own, yet she had vague
sense that the man had brought her
into this plight
mo. What is to be done? Seems to
me the only thing is to leave off rowing
and wait for-for-something to hap

He made no answer, but buried his
face in his hands. There were no half

craven-hearted.
That they were drifting tolerably
fast toward the breakers was clear
enough. Mabel sat watching the ca
reering of white waters with curious
fascination. Suddenly she fancied she
upon the tremulous piping of the
breeze. She looked around, and then,
starting into instant animation, cried
out: "a boat!"

voutly muttered THANK heaven!"

said her companion, who, although he
would sooner it had been anybody else,
was yet pleased enough to see any help
at all "His boat is sailing very fast;
she will reach us before we drift into

In another couple of minutes the lit

that Dickinson did not do the square
thing with the st. Cloud BOYS. Late
Saturday afternoon a Melrose party
called up asking who would pitch Sun

that Dickinson would do the slab work
and then he at once lett fol. Minneapo-

claimed that he was influenced by the
Melrose party to turn few little
tricks in favor Of the west end county
bunch. It will be remembered that two
of Melrose's scores were run in on er-
