produce the poem below. so
that people may realize how
- much they have to be thank
full for How much worse our hot
season" might be! How glad We
should be that our dogs were muz-
Kled; that there wasn't any wine
left TO become old and spout through
rotten corks and be wasted; that our
children were out Of school. so that
It did not become necessary to mu'
tilate the books; that our bakers and

and We can get bread and electrical
supplies as ever; that our plump
zen have not yet taken 10 tights nor
DIR hotels warped inside out nor our
ancient society guards been brok'

Learn now, o people. that however
bad conditions OF hea, or cold, or any
thing else, may be they could always
be worse. and be contented with your

THE HOT SEASON.

The folks that on the first OF May
Wore winter coats and hose
Began to say, the first Of June,
Good Lord, how hot 1t grows
AT last two Fahrenheits blew up
And killed two children small;
And one barometer shot dead
A tutor with Its ball
Now all day long the locusts sang
Among the leafless trees;
Three new hotels warped inside OUT
The pumps began to wheeze,
And ripe old wine. that twenty years
Had cob webbed o'er In vain,
Came spou,ing through the rotten
cork
Like July's best champagne.
The Worcester locomotives did
Their trips in half an hour;
The Lowell cars ran forty miles
Before they checked their power
Roll birthstone soon became a drug,
And locos-pocos fell;
All asked for ice. but everywhere
a Saltpetre was to sell.
Plump men of mornings ordered
tights,
But ere the scorching noon
Their candle molds had grown as
loose
As Cossack pantaloons!
The dogs ran mad-men could not
II water they would choose;
A horse fell dead-he only left
Four red.hot, rusty shoes!
But soon the people could not bear
The slightes, hint Of fire;
Allusions to caloric drew
A flood Of savage ire.
The leaves on heat were all torn out
From every book at school.
And many blackguards kicked and
caned.
Because twas said Keep Cool"
The gas.lixht companies were mob
bed;
The bakers all were shot;
The penny press began to talk
OF iynching Dr. Mott.
And all about the warehouse steps
Were angry men In droves
Crashing and splintering through
door,
To crash the patent stoves!
: The abolition men and maids
Were tanned TO such q hue.
ASu scarce could tell them from their
- friends
Unless their eyes were blue;
And when left. society
Had burst It's ancient guards.
And Brattle street and Temple place
Were interchanGtnE cards.

MOTHER FA|NTS WHEN
ROBBERY IS DISCOVERED
WeIch Brothers, Phoenix BARRIERS,
Arrested on Charges of Bur-
gIarizing Several Houses

PHOENIX. Ariz., April 2.-The Welch
brothers, BARRIERS, will have to answer
to six or more burglary charges. The
disclosure was sensational, and clears
up the mystery surrounding several
robberies.
A clew was gained when one Of the
brothers arrested on minor charge
was found to be wearing stolen cloth
ing.
The police then searched the barber
shop and room occupied by the boys
and the home Of the mother. This re-
suited in finding goods taken from the
n. Porter saddlery, Donofrio, Gold
berg's Liller Sterling, Redewill Music
house and others to the total value Of
about $4,000, including musical instru-
ments, phonograph records, silver bits
and spurs. The goods were packed
away ready for shipment. The mother
tainted when officers called. The plac-
ing of the crimes followed the finding
of one of the brothers wearing stolen
clothing when arraigned for another
offense.

TRAPPINGS OF WAR ATTRACT ATTEN-
TION

The room lately vacated by James
Smith & Co. on Spring street, between
First and Second, was always an at
tractive spot among the many stores in
that busy section. 1t is none the less
attractive now, for w. S. Kirk, the
veteran "army goods man, has fitted
the place up with an assortment Of
army and navy supplies in manner to
challenge the most critical.
Included in the display one can see
caps made to grace the heads of the
boys of 61-65, accoutrements of obso-
lete design, muzzle-loading guns,
strange and deadly looking pistols of
enormous size, gold braid galore, sa-
bers, bayonets twisted into candle
sconces, novel military paper weights,
uniform cloth of all kinds and other
interesting features. Many of the clev-
er devices would lead one to suppose
that grim -visaged war has smoothed
his wrinkled front and that swords
were of no further avail than to be
beaten into shears and pruning hooks.
