! VERY MILD WINTER
Very Little Cold Weather Spring
Draws Near.

We have experienced remarkably mild
weather this winter, true gulf cost
season. Only few weeks of cold wealth
err, but in those weeks some as severe
chilly weather as we have ever had For
the most part, however the winter has been
exceedingly mild, with a great deal of
rainy weather.
This is the last month of winter, then
March with its sweeping winds and days
of sunshiny weather will be with us.
Mother Earth under the caress of the
warm, moist breezes, will awake and pre-
pare for her task of feeding the mil
lions of people who live from the pro-
ducts of her soil. The trees, dropping
their somber brown aspect, will 'clothe
themselves with new foliage and carpet
of green will be flung over hill and valley
The farmer will turn up his furrow and
plant his harvest, new life will course
through the veins of both man and beast
The true new year, the best time of ths
year will be here.

Restless Boy Goes to Church.

Restless Boy Goes to Church.
A restless boy of ten went to
church not long ago with determine
ton to keep awake. He also took
with him two small pinwheels made
of yellow paper. His view Of the
pastor being interfered with by an
enormous pulled and rated couture
Of young woman who sat In front
Of him. he felt that he was legally
left to his own devices.
Whereupon he cautiously brought
forth his yellow pinwheels, and care
fully inserted the stick Of each OF
them in the couture that baffed his
view-and every time the decorated
maiden bobbed her head the paper
wheels merrily revolved.
Well, when the pastor saw those
whirling decorations he choked for q
moment, and the basso In the choir
gave laugh and then tried to con-
ceal 1t with highly unnatural cough.
The boys mother is quite nearsight-
ed and didn't notice the outrage, and
the boy pretended he didn't notice it
either.
Well, 1t was decided after the serv-
ice that the boy mustn't go to church
until he can behave better-and he
feels very badly about it.-Cleveland
