Last week gave US variable weather. Rain
and fog were followed by snow Wednesday
night, which brought out a few sleighs Thurs
day morning; but, alas! all hopes of immediate
sleigh rides were dspelled by the rainstorm of
Thursday night, which removed almost all
traces of the white covering from the brown
earth. Friday was beautiful, but there was
high wind, and Saturday morning gave us the
coolest day of the season, thus far-S degrees
below zero-the temperature rising toward
night, however; and Sunday opening the pres
ent week with fine day Monday dawned
with mild rainstorm. Tickle Mother Nature!
