Today's Anniversary

Today is the festival of the Con- version of St. Paul, which is ceie- brated by the Catholic and Anglican churches. According to an ancient superstition the state of the weather tocay will enable one to judge the weather conditions for the coming year. In olden times this feast was an obligatory holiday for the faithful of western Europe and England, but nowadays scant attention is paid to it by the generality of people, and it has even lost most of it's old signi- ficance as day for meteorological prognostications. Candlemas Day the day of the groundhog-which falls on the second of February. had taken the place of St. Paurs Day among those who still attach faith to weather signs and omens.

 Some have put forth the argument that there should be time clocks placed in the hall for the police to ring up during their rounds through the night. It Is safe to assume that Stratford has about as faithful po- liceman doing service through the night as can be found anywhere. One merchant in town Is assured of this fact, for one night recently he left his store as usual, supposing that he had locked securely every door, but in the morning he found on his desk a note bearing the name of one of the po- llcemen, and stating that he failed l to fasten certain doors. On examina- ton he found that the policeman had not only guarded the place through l the night, but that he had spent some | little time in arranging a device whereby the door could be fastened l till the time of opening of the store, | This service was rendered sometime after midnight, showing that not only are the policeman on their jobs, but | that they travel around in back of stores and buildings to see that every thing is all right.
