IT RUNS ABOUT THE SAME I thought for sure when the cold days came, That my laundry bills would decrease, For I'd button. my coat on my linen goods, To shut out the dust and the grease. It sounds like sense, for a shirt stays clean For a week and a half at a eclip, And a collar lasts for a week at home, And a good five days on a trip. But hear, O hear! I'm burdened now, With a fierce old cold in my head, And I use six handkerchiefs each day, And I lug six more to bed! So, all in all, count this and that, When I balance the books of the game, I find that my bill to the Chinamab, Foots up just about the same! SOME SNOW X The recent cold wave makes us rem- iniscent. We recall the winter of 96-7, and we'd rather recall an official any day than that winter. It began to snow on November 1; the first day's snow buried all fences, country schoo! houses and weather prophesies; the second day’s snow covered our highest ambi- tions and recollections; the third day was election day, and among other things, Bryan and Sewell were buried so deeply that poor Sewell died, and Bryan did not come to the surface again for four years; by the end of the fourth day eagles were flying un- derground, and farmers went to dinner in a shaft elevator. In a month’s time the snow was so deep that the people in North Dakota had a good view of the Great Lakes to the north- east, and away to the west and far below them they could see an occasion- al protruding peak of the Rockies. It began to look like no more farming until about 1942, when suddenly a warm wave, occasioned by the close proximity of the sun, began to melt the snow. The snow then: went down so fast that people settling with it felt their socks suddenly slip off over their' heads and : their stomachs beat against the rafters in their craniums. The clouds, which had been covered up, were carried down to the earth, producing a dense fog for many days—but by April 1 - normal conditions again prevailed, and the hired man could be again heard cussing at the mules as he drove-back and forth on his cheerful way in the fertile fields of a happy land.
