A Remarkable January.
Has anybody ever seen such a
January as this ? It has been
more like May than winter. A soft
south wind has blown for several

most ready to blossom, plant life
is budding, and violets are bloom
ing.
But today the raw north wind
is howling, and a cold, fine, dis
agreeable mist is in the air. Old
nature likes to be freaky some
times, and is now ready to exact
tribute for the concessions she
has made.
