THE NEW GIRL.

There was a young lady Of Troy,
Whose life was mission of JOY;
She was fair as d flower,
And grace was her dover,
And to court her was pleasant en-
ploy.
But now there's a change taken place,
Rave not DER the maidenly grace,
For true are the rumors
That she has donned bloom RS,
Which she wears with no blush on her
face.
Alas, for this maiden of Troy,
That she should her chances destroy,
For do you suppose
That man would propose
To a girl who looks more like a boy?

This Is the day of the arctonys mo-
max. 1t has been his day for more than
200 years. Before the Pilgrims landed
or Jamestown was laid out, the monax
took no special interest in Feb. 2, and
its coming was not discussed by his
family. But the immigrants from Eng
land conferred upon the arctomys an
annual duty which had been performed
in the mother country by bearuS
brownus the common brown bear For
ages it had been the meteorological
of the brownus to come out Of his hole
Feb. 2-Candlemas day-and evolve a
pirouette and prophecy. He felt obliged
on that day to look for his own shad-
ow. If the sun was shining, and the
brownus could observe the obscura ton,
he smiled sadly and retired once more
with a southern exposure. He was con-
WINGED that the north wind
had merely stopped to rest
and would blow again shortly,
nor would it cease to blow for a long
six weeks. IT, however, the bear could
not detect his shadow he knew that
he could throw up his lease whenever
he felt like it. He even encouraged
his wife in her intimations that she
could never stay another winter in
such stuffy little room, and was hap
Ply.
But it was not to be expected that such
agile and unitarian subserviency could
be exhibited by a fat, Independent
bear in the new found land of plenty
The responsibilities of the meager me-
NAL of an impoverished monarchy
were, therefore, transferred by Capt.
John Smith to the arctomys monax
''ye wych," as the captain oddly ex-
pressed it, doe bee yclept We would
chuc' bye the Indienns.'' The same
animal has since been called the ground
hog, and the day itself has lost its
century honored connection with Can
dlemas in the more popular appellation
of Ground Hog Day" But long be-
fore Capt. John Smith learned how to
spell, the ruddy English pumpkin, who
would believe anything but a French
man, would SILVER with the joy of con-
viction during the bowling storm on
