A FAIR SHAKE.

The attorney general Tuesday gave .
credItable decision that the state officers
had no power to reduce the commissions
of the state agent. II must seem little
too bad to Ex-Governor Crawford to note
that now since he has saved so many
thousands of acres OF lands to the state,
that there should be grumbling about
his pay. 1t will be remembered that
when Governor Crawford took hold of
this matter. nearly everv one "poob-
hooed" him and thought he was on 8
wild goose chase. The state
was not willing to paw
him a salary, but was willing that he
should go to all the expense himself.
and if he failed, as it was supposed he
would, he might stand the loss himself.
Now that after years of labor he has
been successful in prosecuting the claims
of Kansas, it is at least ungrateful to
stint the commission. Give the governor
q fair shake.

HiawathA World: The grounding is
the American marmOt; in New England
1t is called the woOdchuck. Inthe mid
die and western states the I'd day of Feb
ruA-y Is called ground-hog day. In Eu
ropean folklore the bear is the Candle
mas weather prophet. How the hog
got into Europe and then came here as q
scientific animal, we have never known
but we think our western ground hog is
German.
The grounding, acting for the sun of
England Apd Scotland, decides the tate
of the season. It lie fact that this ro-
dent passes the winter in his burrow, In
lethargetic state, and that he
don't come out of his hole
and stay out until spring.
time. But the fiction Is that the g. h.
comes out on that day and takes look
at the world. II it is q bright day he
will see his shadow on the ground, and
taking fright at Il, will run back into
his home and stay there. A fresh attack
of winter will set in, and he will be just
flied in the step he has taken. II it is
cloudy, he will cast no shadow, take no
fright, and stay out of his hole; the WIN
ter IL over.
So We are surrounded on all sides by
superstitions, many Of them thousands
Of years old. No one il free from them.
But great progress has been made.
through science and education, and
many former deadly terrors of the hui
man mind are now nothing but jokes
and sources of amusement.
