COLD SNAP HITS
DISTRICT
A severe cold wave descend
ed on McCarthy -tnd district Frj
day the twelfth and held things
in i^s grip for over forty-eight
hours. Varying reports of temp
Grata)res have come in ranging
from thirty-five to forty five be!
ow zero, while we vainly watched
our thermometer for the mere
ury to reappear out of the bulb.
The usual quota of old timers
ware on the job telling wierd sto
lies of cold spells they had enco
untered beside which this one
was mere Indian Summer. But
we noticed tiiat they told their
tales from the shelter of a nice
j large box stove. All available sto
ve space in town is reserved.
Personally we thihk it was
cold and at that we come from
a country where a man’s breath
hangs in icicles from the corners
of his mustache.
Mrs Murphy called on the
parish priest one day and exhi
hi ted to him a blacK eye and ma
ny bruises and complained that
Pat had been abusing her and
requested him to speak to Pat.
Accordingly he called at the
Murphy’s home and proceeded
to take Pat to task. “Don’t you
know, Pat, said he, that when
you mar l ied Bridget she placed
her fate in your hands’?”
“Begorra, replied Pat, .that
wasn’t the trouble at all. It was
when she placed her fate in the
middle av me back that the row
started.”
A REAL CHRISTMAS GIFT
by which you will be remember
