Strawberries For Supper; Snowballs For Breakfast.

Dr. H. L. Brown has a story of comparison that indicates the freakish tendencies of Hoosier weather. On Sunday evening for tea his family had fresh strawberries from off his own patch, being the second crop of the year. On Tuesday morning from off the same patch they had snowballs for breakfast. Neither Dr. Brown nor The Republican desires to deceive those who peruse this item. There were six at the Brown home for tea and each partook of the strawberries, though in' rather limited quantity. There were just three berries, which were cut in halves, making a taste for each. It was not necessary, however, to treat the snowballs so sparingly, and in military cookshack terms there yere “seconds” for any who cared for them.
