TIIK NOlU-miv - N'KWS KHIDA Y. AI'HI I , l.V IS ANSWERING "PRESENT" EVERY MORNING NOW. LION OF MARCH HAS RUN AWAY. Now That April , With Its Fragrant Showers , Has Come Around , the Atmosphere Has an Air of House- cleaning. The green lap of springtime cor- tnlnly unsxvorH "prcsont" to the roll call these mornings mid It hasn't been tardy either. The bluff of the wen- thor nmn not so very long ago , sug gesting that the verdant green of the sunny season had arrived to stay , was called by the la/.y lion of March who kicked up so much of u rumpus nhout a xvcok ago. Hut the lion Is a dead ono for fair I % - HUH umo nas taucn to llio limber- Inntl of the north for the months of torrid heat and will not , ho avowed , bo back again to interfere with the j vegetable gardener's plans. { And with the warming air comes an ' . nil' , also , of the house-denning time and of planting and papering and painting and all that sort of thing. Merchants report that the business which they lacked during the blizzard lias bunched in upon them BO heavily during the past two days that they can't take care of it all. The roads , which told angry lulos of the snow a day or two ago , have boon completely hushed and are dryIng - Ing up like the good roads that they are. And now for the showers of April , with their sweet liquor as Chaucer would say ; now for the base ball diamond and the river's favorite nooks for ( tailing. The ground hog's reign Is oxer and the summer time < draws near. THE AFFAIRSJFJATTLE GREEK Road Running to the Cemetarles is In Very Bad Shape. Battle- Creek , Neb. , April 11.
