Frank Hudde was among our re-
newal subscribers last week, and he
| smiled like a man who was satisfied
with weather conditions as he entered
the LEADER sanctum. II wished for
| a little snow to give us a white Chris
tmas,' said Frank, and the weather
clerk was a little more generous than
usual. / suppose he was thinking of
plenty of snow aud moisture and big
crops, but he could have kept a few of
his cold waves tied up without doing
any harm. / got the snow by wishing
now if I could get a million dollars in
the same way, l would buy two tons
of hard coal and a cord of wood for
every poor family in the county, and
spend the balance building good roads
Ia Dayton township, and forever
after enjoy the good roads" The
LnADBR hopes Frank will get every
thing he wishes for.
