Just think Imck for a space of 12 months and then grin cheerfully, as you seek the high and dry spots oil the sidewalk. For just a year ago the worst streak ol cold and blizzardy weather that had conic to the Garden city and the banana belt for many a year descended upon the unfortunate inhabitants. For six weck3 the winds howled and the day that the thermometer crept above the zero mark was hailed as a real novelty. Citizens stayed Indoors, arid if they had to go out they walked bcciflise for several days at different times the street cars were tied up in the suburban parts of the town while nuto 8 would have stuck in the drifts in quick time had any attempt been made to use them. The only calamity In the way of cold that the city escaped dur ing those six weeks of low tempera ture was a coal famine. Think ât this, and then of the warm, balmy days that all western Montana Is oijjoying. Neither snow nor rain to mar the perfect days which resemble nothing so much as the Tndtnn sunimor of the late fall. A couple of jlays more of this weather and the snow will all be gone, and.there was a lot of it, too. So be thankful that last year's history docs not repeat itself to the everlasting joy of the coalman and think of the blight and rosy future. At that, all the wise ones are. figuring how many lidiirs it will he before the snow starts falling and the temperature drops.
