Thermometer at no
 Hard Shower Follows

Hailstones, as big as marbles or as biz as hens eggs, according to the state of mind of the narrating observ- er, fell during the worst thunder storms of the year, Monday afternoon. One storm came out of the northwest and the other out of the southeast. Preceding the rain darkness fell and timid persons became greatly alarmed, Then the deluge broke and accompany ing the rain and wind came the large hailstones. Considerable damage was done to trees, shrubbery, and gardens, both by the hail and the high wind.
 The storm was welcome relief from the hot spell of the forty-eight hours preceding the shower. One thermometer on Main street registered no degrees. This instrument was in the broiling sun. In the shade, how ever, the mercury crowded the loo mark.

When son comes home, she whispers and hints and low she's
teaching the children TO think very little of their mother.
The mother is really one of the finest women alive in this world
today, a great big, splendid woman, a beauty with a heart of gold

She's a good mother and a devoted wife-why should she be COM

Now the other mother know is so different. She a an invalid
not so very long ago. Everybody in the house waited or grandma.
She had her breakfast in bed and her nap in the afternoon and no.
body disturbed her at the wrong hour and everybody kept everything
unpleasant away from her. She had headaches and a bad heart and
she wore little soft house gowns and looked pitiful and fragile and i'll.
All at once her own daughter roe up and hunted up a little
apartment for mother, 9 nice, sunny apartmentw with a view, a kitchen
