You have heard of a good many
signs of an open winter; thought

green buds on my woodbine. Hope
the signs all come true.-Mrs. Guy

Between the writing and the ar
rival Old Prob played pranks, as he
has a way Of doing, and gave Open
Winter a decided slap on the wrist.
The buds. however remain to remind
Of what might have been.
Now that burglars have robbed the
Fsheriff's safe in Milwaukee what's to

Difference of opinion, Major; the
lady received many congratulations.
New York has an epidemic Of hic-
coughs, the seizures lasting from "a
TO 20 hours. This. along with the
crime wave will probably be laid to
prohibition. II the epidemic con-
tinues New York may be able to have
q fairly good imitation of a New Year
celebration.
All of which recalls an Augusta
6-year- old who in At of hiccough-
ing. was peremptorily told by his
father to stop. Startled he ex-
claimed: Lord, It's pretty tough.
