Real Montana Weather; 35 Below Last Night.

It seems that the government thermometer at St. Joseph’s college, always so truthful and reliable in the past, has turned to be a fabricator this year, thereby casting chill and despair into the hearts of those who have always depended upon her in regards to the atmosphere. There was just a little suspicion about her a few Jays ago, (when she informed us that it had been nine below on a previous night. The climax was reached this morning when we were informed that her honor had registered thirty-five degrees below zero at one stage of the night. Old Man Mercury gave hmself away and spoiled a lot of fun he would have had with us all winter if he had used a little more discretion. After a council of war this morning it was decided to send the wrongdoer .way In hopes that she might be righted before it was too late. This cheerful news that we have been kidded right along helped a whole lot and we are not nearly as cold as we were.
