The Year Without a Summer.

The year 1916 has a remarkable cold
weather record and is known as 'the
year without a summer" In that year
there was 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
starve to DEATH" Frost, ice and snow
were common in June. Almost every
green thing was 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
were frost and ice in July in New York,
New England and Pennsylvania, and
corn was nearly all destroyed in GER
tain sections. Ice half an inch thick
formed in August. A cold north wind
prevailed all summer.

PRODUCTION Of metallic pens. gold and
steel, says a writer in the indianapolis
News. The old fashioned quill pen was
smooth and pleasant to write with,
though it sometimes baked and sput-
tered, but it did not lend itself to skill
full limitations as easily rs the metallic
pen does. The crime Of forgery doubt
less has been promoted by the almost
universal education of modern times.
In an age when everybody writes and
when many are skillful penmen forger-
les are much more frequent than they
were centuries ago. when the person
who could handle pen was an excep.
ton. Many modern criminals make a
living by committing forgeries. victim

Tho Mendicant.

There are those who ascribe the
word "mendicant" to the silly appella-
ton put forth as a conundrum, mean
ing a poor wretch beyond the power o.
mending. But something very close to
the term was in use as long ago as
when Chaucer wrote his Canterbury
Tales" In the "Sompnoure's Tale
this occurs:
Therefore we "mendiants." We sely freres.
Ben welded to poverte and confluence.
To charitee, humblesse and abstinence
The "sompnoure" Of Chaucer was, Of
course, a summoner. or apparitor, and
a person of low estate. and here we
have, 1t Is believed, the origin Of the
word, which came into common EN-
ployment later.

KILLED BY SLATE FALL
Frank Parsons Life Crushed Out
at Bolton Hoover Mines.

Frank E. Pearson, aged 40 years,
met with instant death late on
Tuesday forenoon at the Bolton
Hoover mines west of the city.
Death was caused by the fall of a
large piece of slate measuring 10x14x
~ feet. Frank and his brother
were working in the same room at the
time of the accident, and his brother
narrowly escaped with his life. They
had eaten dinner and returned to
their work when the accident occur
red. The alarm was given by his
brother and help was summoned, but it
was too late, as the life had been
crushed out. The slate was so large
that 1t could not be moved in the
chunk and had not been moved at
press time. The word of the mans
death reached the city about 1890
and the relatives were hurried to the
scene.
Frank had worked at the Bolton
Hoover mines for several years and
he was a great favOrite among his
fellow workmen and employers and
all those who came in contact with
him. He was well known in this city
and many of the mining camps in this
vicinity.
He was the eldest son of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. B. Pearson, who reside at 1907
A avenue west. He is survived by
his wife and five daughters and one
son: Frank, Anna, Bessie, Faye,
Blanche and baby girl. The mother
gave birth to baby girl about week
ago and is in a precarious condition
Besides his family and his parents,
he is survived by four brothers, L. d..
Harry, VERNE and Earl, and three
sisters, Mrs. Mamie Young, Mrs. Clara
Shipp and Vivian Pearson.
