Thu Summarizes Year,

The year 1916 was called the ''year
without summer" Spring came that
year. hut in its faintest form. Snow.
cold rains and winds were incessan,.
1t was the LIST of June before the first
left the ground. The farmers planted
their crops. hut the seed would hardly
sprout. and when they came TO the~snr-
face there was not heat enough to
make the frail plants grow. 1t is re.
corded that during the month Of June
birds froze to death in the woods and
fields. Small fruits. such as there
were. rotted OH the stem. there being
no birds TO eat them. But little corn
matured Only in sheltered spots were
good sized roasting ears to be found.
Frosts prevailed every month in the
year and almost daily. The people
after repeated hopes of Il change for
the better settled down almost in de
spair. The like of it was never known
in the country before and. fortunately
has never been repeated. = New York

roundhouse and yards rushed to mis-
assistance, hut he was SO tightly
wedged and jammed that the car had
to be lacked UP before the body could
be taken out DIR, Davidson. the rail
way's surgeon, and an ambulance
were rushed to the scene and he was
takcn TO tho hospital, whore every eff
fort was made to relieTe his suffer
ings. The shock was so great and
his vitality so low from excessive
loss OF blood, that the surgeons did
not operate, and the end came at an
| hour and a half after Tho accident.
Mr.. Smith was one of the oldes,
and most valued of the employees Of
! the road, having been with IL for
about 40 years, during which time he
| had had charge OF all details OF It's
water service, Of which he had mad,
