GONNA BE COLD
WINTER ASSERTS
FARMER PROPHET
Klondike. Cold Is Coming
After Unusual Warm
Spell, He Says.

southington. Dec. you'll find
that we are to have an unusual snug
winter this time. and that before it
is past that we will have experienced
some rip snorting cold days. They'll
come the latter part 1of January and
February will be the coolest month
Of the year and you will think that
large part of the Klondike has been
handed to you before the month runs
out. Yes, you can laugh, but it doesn't
bother me. I butchered two hogs for
my neighb ors. That was enough. 1t
is very we'll to ridicule the prediction,
but paste it in your hat and see if it
does not come true. We are going to
have. cold winter. and late spring,
that will come in with rush. The
month Of March will also be very cold,
There'll be warm periods of fairly
let-up over what we have been hav-
ing the past few days.
Before January opens. there will
be a warm spell which will last into
the fore part of the month, but after
that is coming just what I told you
cold" r
So spoke Fred Larribee, when asked
for his annual cold weather hogs melt
forecast. He added that he was lit
tie late in giving out the announce
ment, but that the ,neighbors living in
his section of the town would vouch
for the statement that Mr.. Larribee
had predicted the long drawn out
warm spell which we have experienced
up to within the past week.
\ Mr.. Larribee is known hereabo outs
as Virgins" when itecomes to prog
nosticating cold weather-and he does,
it by studying that part Of the hogs
anatomy called the melt. For many
years. he butchered hogs and in for
mer years predicted the mild and cold
waves Of winter with an exactness
which earned for him reputation
for miles around. Now that he has
given up the business Of butchering,
his predictions are, somewhat late. But
many believe in them.
He obtained his cue on the melt
as thermometer, from an Indian
who lived in the Marion section of the
town. Mr.. Larribee talks entertain
ingly about his successes and failures
in foretelling the winters weather and
holds that a prediction published last
year came very close to hitting the
mark. He says that he doesn't know
what part the melt plays in a hogs
life but that "it's a corking good guide
to man who can read it and wants
to know what the winter has in store
for him and his wood pile"

ARKANSAS LITERARY
DISCOVERER

Opie Read. the author who put
Arkansas on the literary map, was

education in the common schools of
his native state, and at Neophogen
college in Gallatin, Tenn, he embark

village near the Tennessee border,
was the first publication to number
future celebrity on its staff. There
he wrote local items, set type, and
helped to operate the hand press
After serving an apprenticeship on
this little paper his soaring ambition
led him to emigrate to Little Rock,
and in the Arkansas capital and met
ropolis his ability soon won recog-
nition He was employed by the
Arkansas Gazette, the leading morn
ing paper of the state, and in 1878
became it's editor. He held that post
until 1881, when he was offered a
position on the staff of the Cleveland
Leader. He returned to Little Rock
in 1888 and founded the Arkansas
Traveller, a weekly humorous and lit
erary publication, which soon gained
for his name widespread celebrity.
In 1888 he wrote Lien Gansott."

life in Arkansas and other parts of

1889 by "a Kentucky Colonel" one

which was later dramatized. and scor-

Cured on that occasion that explains
the Emberor's popularity among the
members of all religious sects of the
Dual Empire. Although he was a
Catholic, Francis Joseph exercised
great religious tolerance, displaying
and demanding the utmost respect
for all religious and religious bodies.
On this occasion he was met at the
entrance of the town by representa-
tives of all the religious bodies. AS a
tribute of respect to the Jewish tradi-
ton, the Jews were the first in line
to greet the royal visitor. AS the En-
peror passed through the line of dig
nitaries, two rabbis advanced bear
ing between them the sacred Thora.
The Emperor stepped out of his car
riage and approaching the rabbis
with the deepest respect, keeping his
hat upon his head in accordance with
sacred scroll. 1t was an historic in
cident, in which the Jew extended the
greatest honor possible to any one
outside his own faith. The Emperor,
by his act of devotion, welded another
link in the chain that bound the Jews
to him.
GAS he passed the ranks of the
Jews he was met by the Archbishop
Of the Catholic Church, and remov-
ing his hat he made the sign of the
cross in the same serious and devout
manner in, which he had kissed the
Thora."

Algeria was based solely on force, but
the republic won the allegiance OF
the Algerians by withdrawing the
military government from all the set
tied portions of the country, which
have since been treated very much as
if they were a part of France, each
department sending one senator and
two deputies to the French chambers.

tribesmen in the remote interior, are
