Modern lighthouses really date from
1859. when this third one was com

A HARD WINTER.
When the Mercury Fell to Six Fes,
Nine Inches Below Zero.

Nine Inches Below zero.
They were talking about hard win
ters. The man on the cracker barrel
said he remembered winter when the
mercury fell TO six feet nine inches be
low zero, and consequently he had new
er seen any weather since then that he
could call real cold.
"Oh, you pshaww said the man with
the ginger whiskers. "Six feet nine
inches. Oh, you pshawr
Meaning that / put you In mind OF
Ananias?" said the man on the cracker
barrel.
. The man with the ginger whiskers
simply said: "Six feet nine inches! oh.
you pshRw!'
"Then listen" said the man on the
cracker barrel 1T was the winter
when no snow fell, Nothing fell but
the thermometer that winter. We kept
our thermometer hanging on cherry
tree In the yard to give II chance.
One morning the weather had been so
cold the mercury went down below zero
as far as It could and let the thermom-
eter have the credit OF showing II, but
II couldn't do It's duty by the weather
by pausing there, so 1t busted the bulb
at the bottom and kept on falling. The
thermometer was six feet above the
ground We dug the mercury out In
the spring, nine inches below the sur
face. SO until you can trot out some
weather that IS six feet and nine inches
below. don't talk TO me about cold!"
