No Count

Wash no count? Don say dat,

He's jes' projectln. Boys will pro-
jec'. yo' know, sab. Dey's TO- all de-
worl' lax calves an colts an kittens.
Wen dey's young dey kicks up dere

all Wen his heels git plumb steady
on de groun he'll pull his load shore
'nough. You see. sab"
But In spite Of the sanguine expec-
tatons of Uncle Nose, who was not
Wash's uncle at all, but his GRANDPA
ther, the boy continued to ''projec'." He
was now fourteen, and his chief labor
seemed to consist in devising ways OF
eluding chores and school and just
punlshments His habitual movements
were skulking, and, though his eyes
danced fearlessly and his mouth
broadened into almost perpetual mer-
riment, he sought rather the solitary
paths of the pine woods and Suwanee
banks than the more populous lanes
and roads of his native Ellaville.
There he was apt to be reminded OF
unfulfilled contracts, stolen melons,
decorated doors and fences and OF
many other matters which he prefer
red to let sink into forgetfulness OF
his own family Uncle Nose was the
only one with whom he condescended
to fraternize, and this concession was
due as much to the fact that the old
man excelled him In his own chosen
pursuits of trapping and fishing as ia
his being openly sympathetic,
There were few spots inside a radius
| Of ten miles with which Uncle Nose
was not familiar, and this familiarity
was especially comprehensive In re
gard to the fishing holes Of the suwa
nee Fifty years before he had been
slave boy on a neighboring plantation
stealing Off to the river on every pos
sIble occasion, and this love for the
sport had been the one great pleasure
OF his life, interrupted only through
the score OF years which followed hi
emancipation, during which time h
was working hard TO provide himsel
with a home and to fit his children 70
future which should be worthy o
them as free citizens.
But as they grew up and branchet
out for themselves he returned mor'
and more TO the pleasure Of his child
hood until now there was scarcely al
afternoon which was not spent In par
upon the Suwanee banks. And will
accommodating years and stiffeninl
joints his early wanderings up anC
down the river had narrowed down t
/ a bank beneath wide spreading. mosi
grown tree, from which lie could cas-
line into water which experience hat
taught him was congenlal to fish
Here after the sun had begun to throw
shadows to the east he could generally
be found either alone or In company

ONE YEAR WITHOUT. A SUMMER
Ninety-Four Years Ago Continuous
Frost and Mighty Uncom-
Portable,

Every now and then some one discovers
that our winter and summer seasons are
not what they used to. be; that the Their
mometer nowadays is prone to capricious
reverses and that, as the rustic poet sings
June comes in December;
December comes in June.
Those who deplore the passing Of the
old-time summer should look up the records
of the year 1916 and note what happened
then: 1916 was called 1.-The year without a
summer" There was frost in every
month of the year. January and February
were mild; March was clustering and raw;
at the end of April snow fell abundantly
and the brooks were ice-imprisoned as In
winter. In May the wondering buds and
Young plants were nipped ere they were
aware; the corn crop was annihilated by an
ice-sheet that formed to the thickness Of
half an inch. In June snow fell three inches
deem in New York and Massachusetts, and
the destruction of growing things begun in
May, was disastrousy completed. On the
5th Of July ice as thick as window glass
was a common phenomenon, in Pennsylvania,
and in August there was ice haif an inch
thick. Pennsylvania ,farmstS were conn
PEELED to pay 50 and IS a.rboAhel fortcorn
for the next springs ,plspting, Winter
seemed to set In during the latter fortnight
of September; from that time Forward Ice
and snow were at no time lacking.
Many persons are quite ready to ascribe
to Halley's comet what they deem the sin
Eular climatic conditions. They think May,
1910 was a much colder month than usual.
AS a matter of fact, the temperature chart
from May through Memorial day shows
an excess Of II degrees above the normal
with total of 551 degrees since the begin
ming of the year.-Phlladelphia Ledger.
