The cold wind came that night and
told them that winter was on his way
and they better go to sleep, and the
rain came down to tell them II might
be its last visit, for the snow was
getting impatient to fall.
The next morning the sun came out
and the Dahlias and Asters laughed
as they bobbed about. "Who is afraid
Of snOwf We are not; why, we just
love the cold, crisp air."
"You flowers better go to sleep"
called a squirrel from the top of the
garden wall. "Don't you know we
had a frost last night and 1t is late
for flowers to be out?"
"We are not afraid of frost or
snow" called back the flowers, land
why shouldn't we stay long time?
Why does everyone tell us to go to
sleep?"
But that night old North Wind
came down from his cold white home
and over the garden wall he few,
grumbling and muttering. "Where are
they. where are theyf" he asked.
And straight to the Dahlias and AS
tiers he flew In terrible temper.
"What is all this I hear about your"
he asked.
Don't you know 1t is time you were
in bed and asleep? II is Thanksgiving
time and tie people want snow, and
here you are holding back the sea-
sons. Get to bed, all Of you, quick !"
And then how he did blow and blus-
ter about! The poor Dahlias and AS
tiers hustled into bed and when morn
Ing came they were fast asleep under
a blanket Of snow, and never once did
they show their heads until the next
year.

1t will scarcely be believed that the

in 1879 the question, indirectly, indeed

could prove to the satisfaction OF any
Intelligent referee that there was such

satisfaction of the referee the curva-

Welsh's dam (six miles) to the extent
of five feet more or less and the 81
