But just as soon as he glows accustomed to ids new home he will be out romping with the March wind hoys, turning over the rain barrels and upsetting buckets of frost on our spring flowers and gar¬ dens. About June he will be so interested in the affairs of Cupid he will for¬ get to turn the spigot _iint.il every¬ thing is burning up and everyone complaining of heat, then when he remembers to turn it on he’ll forget to turn it off until everything is flooded with water. In the prime of his life he will attend strict¬ ly to his job and will have golden autumn days until he gets so old he •sits nodding and leaves the weather to look after itself. But woe unto him if he allows Christmas to come on a Sunday. If he should forget himself at any time during the year, in years to come we will he telling our grand children about the ayful weather of 1925.
