A Good Time in This Old World.

About the only thing we can be
certain OF is that the climate is not
changing to any perceptible degree.
Inc summers now are about as they
used to be and the winters do not
change greatly. The seasons come
and go as of yore, and we have re-
markable weather every year. So
there does not seem to be any foun-
dalton for the theory that the world
is coming to an end. Nor is there
any reason to suppose that we are
going to have cold July as is pre-
dicted from some quarters. In the
language Of the old negro: I'VE
shall see what we shall see," and
that is all there is to it.
But this is certain. We are not
gong to burn up nor freeze
to death. The season may be
favorable or unfavorable for vege-
tation. A few people may have oc-
caslon to be out in the sun and suf-
fer from the heat until death re-
suits. Or, some may become chilled
If we have cold July and contract
pneumonia. But so far as the
worlds going to be destroyed by
heat or cold is concerned, that is the
verlest nonsense.
We are going to have good time
in this old world for many millions
of years longer, just as we--or our
ancestors-have been having a good
time in it for other millions of years
gone by. We are going ahead living,
and loving, and making the world
better for our having lived in it,
Southwest American.

Merriment More Subdued
Than Usual

Whether it's cold, or whether it's
hot, we must have weather, whether
or not; that was what the "Open
house, contingent faced last evening
and the slathers of fog seemed to
have a dampening effect on the fes-
tivities, although in two or three clubs
merriment reigned supreme. 1t is a
fact nevertheless that the roisterers
and jewellers were fewer and farther
between than is usual on a New Years
night.
Festivities conferred at the Seaside
Algonquin and Bridgeport clubs. At
each of these places excellent suppers
were served and the punch bowl flow
ed right merrily. Impromptu singing
by cheerful volunteers was on the
cards all night long.
Odd Fellows building was thronged
with people, all the English speaking
lodges uniting in a celebration of the
day. This was the first occasion upon
which this plan was tried and the
members enjoyed greatly the oppor-
tun.ty of meeting their brothers in
other lodges.
The knights of Columbus kept open
house at their chapter rooms in the

awaited themselves of the hospitality,
