Referring to the weather. it is so
easy to say eve never had anything
like it before and yet so easy to be
mistaken On the 9Th of April, 1895,
we had a severe snow storm April
10, 1900, we had foot of snow On
April 9TH and 8th, 1915, we had
snowfall of ii inches and all should
remember the severe snow storm of
April 3, 1920, only one short year ago.
In fact, these April storms come quite
as regularly and deserve special
name quite much as the so-called
equinoctial storms.
when caught in trap by one of
its feet fox has actually been known
to bit off and swallow the entrapped
foot in order to free itself"
The foregoing paragraph was
clipped from a newspaper and is re-
printed here for the purpose of elicit
ing little more of the details of the
affair We are rather curious as to
whether the fox actually swallowed
the trap that held his foot in its steel
embrace If so, then we are ready to
swallow the whole story. And it
should be easy for the observer to get
this added information because most
likely the trap was fastened to log
or a tree and consequently the fox
must be right there yet.
A few days ago the men who wore

Accompanied by "a number of
friends and relatives, and undetered
by the snow storm and forbidding
weather, Mr.. Hobert F. Morgan and
Miss Mary E. Stewart appeared be-
fore the probate Judge at his Office In
WaKeeney last Saturday morning and
the ceremony was performed which
united their fortunes for life. Their
vows were hardly spoken before the
