YEAR WITHOUT SUMNER
SHOWS, HEAVY RAINS AND COLD
WINDS PREVAILED IN
CESSANTLY.

The backward summer season
which has prevailed this year has
been unusual, but there are prece-
dents, and the year 1916 is notably a
year without a summer. A Madison
lady hands The Daily Leader the fol-
lowing from the Magazine of Ameri-
can History which is a short sketch
of weather conditions for hat year:
The year 1916 was called the year
without a IN AS the springtime
approached nothing in the weather
indicated the return of the seed time,
much less of harvest. Shows, heavy
rains and cold winds prevailed inces-
sanity, and during the entire season
the sun arose each morning as
though in a cloud of smoke, red and
rayless, shedding little light or
warmth and setting at night behind a
thick cloud of vapor leaving hardly a
trace of its having passed over the
face of the earth. The frost never
went off the ground until about the
last of May.
THE farmers planted their crops.
but the seed would hardly sprout and
when at last il came to the surface
there was not warmth enough TO
cause anything to grow. During the
month OF June birds were frozen to
death in their nests, and so great was
the destruction that for at least three
years after very few birds visited the
colder parts of the northern states.
The woods and forests seemed desert
ed by them. Small fruit such as the
Juneberry ripened and rotted on the
trees in the forests because of no
birds to eat them.
Crops that required warmth, Xix
corn, generally failed to mature, and
only here and there in a few places
that seemed especially protected did
an ear ripen. The people after re-
peated hopes of a change in the
weather settled down in almost des-
pair. Large spots appeared on the
face of the sun, as seen through the
smoky atmosphere distinctly visible
with the naked eye; frosts prevailed
every month the whole year and al
most daily, and in the few places
where corn ripened was the only sup
ply of seed for the next year and ii
was held at an exceedingly high fig
ure. with now and then an excep-
ton"

BACK BROKEN, LEG OFF,
HE WINS M. D. DEGREE
Doctors Didn't Reckon With
kGith'S IndOmitabl0 Will.

Philadelphia broken back, loss of
one leg by %amputation and the other
by paralysis couldn't keep Jim Keith
from achieving his life ambition. A
spirit that would not be conquered
overcame the tremendous handicap of
his inirmities, and, having successful
ly passed final examinations at Jeffer-
son Medical college, he is now a doctor.
Jim's home is in SchaefferStown, Pa,
but he probably will never see it again.
Nor will he practice his profession. In
the little white room ON the sixth floor
Of Jefferson hospital Jim is destined to
spend the rest of his days.
At his side when news of his success
reached him was his young wife, her
eyes radiating pride and happiness,
matched by the triumphant glow in his
own.
II told you you could do it," she ex-
claimed rapturously. Jim, you're a
doctor. DR. James Keith my. but ii

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, June Especial:
Without pause, the Austro-Germans
are continuing their efforts to sweep
the Russians out of Galicia. The
French still are hammering at the
Germans in the Arras region and on
the heights of the Mouse.
The Germans have launched an
other attack against Warsaw, moving
from the north through Przasnysz,
which is not far from the East Prus-
sian frontier, down toward the Pol
ish capital of that section embraced
by the Omuley and Dryer rivers.
DR.. Won Bethmann-Hollweg, the
imperial German chancellor, and
Gottleib Won Jagow. the German for
eign minister, have been in confer
ence at Vienna with the Austrian for
eign minister and the chancellor has
conferred also with Emperor Francis
Joseph.
According to reports the Turkish
ambassador at Rome has asked for
his passports from the Italian for
eign office, although no declaration
of war has been issued between Tur-
key and Italy.
Galicia still remains the scene of
the most important military opera
! tons. The stubborn resistance for
which several days had been offered
by the Russian forces to the south
east of Lemberg after their retreat
from the Galician capital, has finally
been overcome after a protracted and
violent engagement. The Teutonic
forces have penetrated the Russians
main position in this sector, accord
ing to Vienna, and thrown the Rus
slams back.
In that section on the heights of
the Meuse known as the Calonne
trench, a violent engagement has
been characterized by the use of
flaming liquid and asphyxiating many
soldiers.
An Austrian submarine has tor
pedoed and sunk an Italian torpedo
boat in the Adriatic.

ROUTE TO CALIFORNIA.

Are you going this summer to the
California expositions? III so, you
should make the journey by way of
Denver and Colorado Springs and
visit the magnificent mountain sights
easily accessible from these two
cities. Your Colorado sightseeing
over you can continue on through to
the coast to either San Francisco,
Los Angeles or San Diego, or you can
stop over and see the attractions of
Salt Lake city, and If desired make a
side trip to Yellowstone National
park. This arrangement is made

railway. Two splendid trains-"The
Colorado Special and THE Colorado
Express" - are operated daily
through to Denver over this route, in

dollars more you can see the beauti-
full Pacific north coast country thence

heart of three vast mountain chains.
This delightful journey will amply
repay the few extra dollars that 1T
costs.

nation about low fares, time of
trains. and other particulars.

Draper, ;. H., Child Stumbles ON
Snake I'm Garden.

Pierre, June 29.-To fall on a rat
tlesnake and escape the fangs of the
reptile unframed was the experience
of the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Victor
Jorgenson of Draper. The child was
following his grandmother, who was
welding a hoe in the garden, and
started the reptile from a bunch OF
weeds. The grandmother turned to
look after the child and was Mortified
to learn that in his fright he had
stumbled and fallen upon the poison
reptile. She rushed to the rescue
and found that in falling one hand of
the child had alighted upon the head
and neck of the snake, holding it so
that ii could not strike. The young
ster was quickly jerked to safety, and
the snake was killed.
