December this year has broken into
January and February records for
cold days. Perhaps these two months
have turned part Of their cold over to
the last month of 1915 and will not
burden us this winter with quite so
much cold themselves. At any rate,
the past week gave us some pretty
severe temperature. Starting Monday
afternoon and evening, Monday even
ing showed 4 degrees below zero,
Tuesday morning displayed 9 below,
at noon 5 below, evening ii below.
Thursday gave us a record breaker
for the month for a morning tenn
p~erature, the mercury standing 81 be-
low zero. The afternoon was much
warmer, showing only / degree below
the cipher at noon and 4 above at
dusk. However the looks and feel of
things, the southwest wind, the damp
air, the clouds, the huge sun dogs, we
felt We're were billed for something
other than fair weather. We were not
disappointed as just after dusk the
snow flakes fell fast accompanied by a
wind. This was followed by calmer
and this by a high gale from the
northwest that for a time sid fair to
be a regular old blizzard. Later. how
ever, the wind dropped, the moon and
stars came out to greet us, but the
fluid in the thermometer sought the
bulb and Friday morning the air was
agaln strung to a high pitch to the
tune of is degrees below zero.
We note we have skipped Wednes-
day with "a below in the morning,
s below at noon and II below at dusk.
We will look back over our record
and see how near we can duplicate
this weather in December. December
1915 shows two cold mornings. the
18th has 4 below, the 9th with IL be-
low. eve will not mention what hap
pened to us in the January and Feb
ruary following this December. for it
makes us SILVER to think of it. We
will venture all the school teachers,
mail carriers, etc, will remember the
time).
Well, well, well! We spoke before
we looked up the record of this same
December. Gee! just back in 1914 in
December, commencing on the 18th
OF the month the mercury Rugged the
lower end of its narrow, perpendicular
home for seventeen long days Tor
short days and long nights. During
this period occurred a record of "a
below. % below, 20 below, etc. Christ
mas day this same year was a very
cold day with IS below in the morn
ing, 10 below at noon and 20 degrees
below in the evening, a very cold day.
Happily the record adds, 'sCold, but
nice" So this is not SO bad after all,
folks, for this month.
December. 1913, greets us with
balmy weather with much of the time
with the thermometer showing above
the freezing point a good share of
the day and but twice did it fall below
zero.
December, 1912, too, was fairly
warm, followed by a pretty severe
January.

HAS CAUSE TO BE PEEvEC
Shorty Doesn't Seem to Have Had 9
Square Deal In Matters Con-
corning the Dog.

Shorty is sore. He is sore at hp
dog. The dog originally was wors.
90 cents, and cost $40 because Mrs.
Shorty made such a fuss over him
in the presence of the kennel keeper.
The first week Shorty owned him he
ran away. Shorty bought SO worth
of want ads. Seven weeks after the
last want ad appeared a boy brought
the dog home, claiming the SIS re-
ward and putting in a bill for $11
for the dogs keep for eleven weeks.
Sherry paid and bought a collar and
chain for $1.25.
The dog lay passive on the back
porch Saturday night and Sunday
night. But Monday night Mrs.
Shorty left the washing out on the
line. Some time in the night the
dog chewed the chain in two and
then went out and tore all the clothes
from the line, ripping to pieces what
he didn't eat. That morning, before
Shorty was up, the dog-tax collector
came and collected from Ms. Shorty.
Then Shorty got up and went into
the back yard and found the clothes
torn to pieces. The dog had run
away, presumably back to the home
of the boy who kept him before for
seven weeks. Shorty doesn't know
where the boy lives, but Mrs. Shorty
says he can find out with a want ad.
Shorty knew that, but didn't want
to suggest it. So he'll be down in
the morning with another want ad.
But he's sore.-Kansas City Star

LETTING HIM DOWN EASY
oonqrsssman's Carefully Prepared Ar.
tieie at Least Old Not a Con-
temptuous Rejection.

When Representative Simeon d.
Tess of Ohio was In New York a
while ago making a speech at a big
banquet he fell in with Hamilton
Holt, editor of a New York maya
zine.
Holt readily saw that Fess was a
man of unusual scholarship and
saplence, and asked him if he
wouldn't write him an article or two
for his magazine at the usual rates.
"Well, l can't promise" replied
Fess. "a congressman's life is a
rather busy one, of course, and l
don't have much time for writing ar
ticIes, much as l should like to.
What would you want me to write
aboutP"
"Oh, anything at ALL" said Holt.
"We1l leave that to you But please
write us something" he coaxed.
Still Fess wouldn't promise,
though Holt was insistent.
A week or two later Fess got to
thinking that it was rather mean not
to oblige Editor Holt, and he sat up
one night to prepare a learned ar
ticle for the magazine. He sat up
again the next night polishing up
the piece, and though he went about
yawning for a day or so thereafter,
ne at least had the satisfaction of
knowing that he had done something
to boost the general average of cur
rent literature, besides obliging Ed
tor Holt.
The article did not reach Holt,
but fell by chance into the hands of
one of his assistants. So, in about
ten days, Fess received a bulky en-
velope IN the mail. 1t contained his
little piece and a rather formally
worded printed slip, which read.
""The rejection of this article does
not necessarily imply lack of merit"
etc.
