JOKE ON SCHOOL VISITOR
Fortunately Hamilton Mabie Was Well

The late Hamilton w. Mabie, the

one of those genial men who enjoyed

phase of Mr.. Mabie's character, it is
told that when he was student Mr..

told this story:
He had visited a school in Philadel-

students, "Children, what would you
do if fire were to break out in this
building?" The children all repeated
in chorus, 1--WE would rise in our
places, step into the aisle, and march

school, while he was sitting quietly on

But the English forces for the de-

WEATHER REPORT

Prof. Webb Stump has handed the
Review an interesting report on the
weather conditions in Denison for the
month of March. Believing that the
report will be of interest to our many
readers, we are reproducing it:
After very severe January, the
month of February opened with a tenn
perature of 81 degrees below zero, but
the weather Immediately became more
mild and very reasonable February
was experienced. There was total
snowfall during the month Of five inch
es, but there were 10 clear days,
partly cloudy and Z days entirely
cloudy.
The month of March was very de-
cided and agreeable surprise. The
temperature ranged from above zero
on the 10th, to IS on the 10Th; the
sun shone every day in the month with
the exception of two. Nineteen of the
thirtNone days wer e clear and 10
were partly cloudy. Only three days
could have been considered stormy.
the 9th, 18th and 14th, respectively,
but during the entire month, there
was only a total precipitation of 10
of an inch.
The prevailing direction of the wind
was northeast; from which quarter it
blew on ten different days during the
month. There, was a, south or south
west wind blowing for 16 Of the 81
days, so with it coming from a mild
quarter for more than half of the
month, some of the mild temperature
may be accounted for But consid-
ering the wind direction, one thing
peculiar is, that with so many days
during which it blew from some east
erly direction it brought very little
snow or rain, and it is usually consid-
cred that 2 or days of east wind will
bring storm.
Taken altogether this must be con-
sidered most remarkable March. The
lack Of rain has been unusual but the
month of April has now opened with
more indications of storm.
