We are having a wonderful winter
so far, and the hopeful part of it all
is that the sun is now on the north
ward journey again, the days are
getting longer, and very soon it will
be impossible for Jack Frost to show
even his nose, except possibly at
night. We have such a start on him
now that he can't do much damage in
the line of really severe cold weather
this winter. And in spite of the fact
that 1t is not sign of the highest
intellect to talk of the weather, surely
1t is justifiable especially when we are
writing to those poor benighted souls
Outside, who wonder how white peo-
pie ever manage to subsist in this
supposedly Arctic region, a land of
perpetual snow and ice.-Fairbanks

The Insult of Irony.

Irony is an insult conveyed in the form of compliment, placing it's victim naked on bed of briers and bristles, thinly covered with rose leaves; adorning his brow with a crown of gold, which burns into his brain; teasing and fretting and rid ding him through and through with incessant discharges of hot shot from masked battery; laying bare the most sensitive and shrink ing nerves of his mind and then blandly touching them with ice or smilingly pricking them with netdles.-E. W. Whipple.

to change their last name to Work, and
also refused to stay away from England,
as stipulated in the viii.
The boys were sons Of MIR Work s
