MIR. GROUNDING AND HIS SHADOW
An Interesting Legend of This Strange
Little Animal.

mh. GhOUNDHOG AND HIS SHADOW.
An Interesting Legend of This Strange
Little Animal.
Yesterday was Grounding day and
there is no doubt he was enabled to
see his shadow, as the sun was shin
ing brightly nearly the entire day.
The legend printed below leads us to
believe that for the next six weeks we
will be subjected to all kinds of dis
agreeable weather and is as follows:
Grounding day comes on the end
of Feb. and on this day it is said that
the grounding governs the weather
for six weeks following and the shad-
ow of the grounding on this day in
variable means six weeks cold wealth
er. In some rural districts this sign
never fails and old timers say that the
grounding is seen to appear and look
about for his shadow and no sooner
than he sees it he retires and prepares
for six weeks cold winter weather.
The grounding many centuries ago
was an inhabitant of the sun. The sun
was the only planet known ON which
the rounding existed and the
grounding was then the size of all
animals combined. He was then the
giant king of the animal kingdom.
His majesty not being contented with
being king of animals rebelled against
the mother planet and made himself
a home within the glowing mass.
The sun saw that something must be
done to curtail his progress and there
| fore drew a focus on the mammoth
size of the animal. This heat was SO
great that it melted the grounding
down to his present size. But he still
persisted and when the sun saw the
hugh mass his enemy had excavated,
he at once resorted to transportation
and took the huge mass with all
groundhogs on board and sent it
afioat.
This mass then formed the earth,
the centre of which is yet a glowing
mass and subject to volcanic erup-
ton in order to destroy the ground
hogs that abound on its surface. The
sun knew the grounding could not
withstand severe zero weather and
soon after the dog stars disappears
starts rapidly toward the autumnal
equinox and seeks to exterminate the
little pest by long freezing weather
and the End of Feb. (Groundhog day.
being the anniversary of the trans
portation. The sun on this day
pierces through clouds and sees his
enemy still living renews his effort
and refuses to give warmth and heat
for six weeks longer.
This is the reason why we have to
have such cold weather after the 2nd
of February and this is the influence
the grounding has in regard to
weather.
Slowly the winter is passing away,
Sadly We're waiting from day to day
Not for the snow,
Not for the rain
Not in our woe
To sigh or complain
But merely to listen and watch and see,
When he comes from his burrow meath
hedgerow and tlee,
What the wonderful grounding will say.
Come, Mr.. Grou dhog, were waiting for you
To tell us the weather tale trusty and true,
Whether the spring
Early or late
The violets will bring
70 gladden. our fate,
O" whether the winter in summers sweet lap
viii iinger to freeze up the vigor and sap.
Hurry and tell us. 0 grounding, do!

PREPARE TO CELEBRATE.
For the City of Morris VIII JublIat'
on a Grand Scale.
FOURTH OF JULY, OF COURSE
Arrangements Are Already Being
flake for the Day.

Preliminary meetings of representa-
tive citizens were held last week and
this relative to the question as to
whether or no Morris should cele-
brate the Fourth of July this year.
Tbs expressions of the opinion have
been general that the city should
have great patriotic celebration here
on the Fourth. Liberal subscriptions
have already been pledged to the
fund necessary to meet tho expenses
of the day. Last night further ar
rangements were made, and while they
are far from being complete, yet the
fact is assured that city will cele-
brate.
Morris has not had celebration
for several } ears and will be particu-
larly fortunate in making the attempt
this year when the thoughts of the
people are turned along patri,
otic lines. If all pull together to
bring as many people as possible here
on the Fourth and to make their day
as pleasant as possible, the city will
bring glory to itself.

FOR THE FALLEN HEROES.
Memorial Services at Church, School
and Cemetery.

To commemorate the fallen heroes,
memorial exercises were held in the
public schools on Friday, in the
churches and court house on Sunday
and at the cemetery and court house
on Monday.
The exercises at the schools we're
participated in by the primary and
intermediate grades only. In both
schools the interest of the ''little
folks" in keeping green the memory
of the old soldiers was shown by the
well-rendered songs and recitations.
On Sunday the memorial sermon
was preached by Rev. George Willett
at the court house. The room was
patrioticslly decorated with flags and
bunting, A quartette composed of
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Smith, Miss Laura
Thoele and P. w. Ross led the sing
ing. The large audience filled the
room to overAowing. Mr.. Willett
spoke of bow the soldiers of 81 lived
again in the results of their works
which appear around us and in the
readiness with which soldiers are now
responding to the call to arms. Many
points in the address we're particu-
larly timely, the whole was we'll re-
ceived by the appreciative audience.
On Monday Overton Post met in
the morning and marched to the
cemeteries to decorate the graves of
old soldiers.
Following is the list of the graves
of those decorated:

THE TWO EXTREMES.
Plat VS.. Lean Call Game at the DriV-

Pfat VS.. Lean Call Game at the Div.
ing Park Friday Last.
Although a very windy and chilly
day last Friday the attendance at the
benefit ball game for the G.. A. R.
Decoration Day fund was large, and
all who were there saw very good
game of ball. 1t was one of the
''warmest propositions that ever hap
pened," and everyone laughed as they
never laughed before, and came home
feeling they had enjoyed an afternoon
outing, and at the same time helped
good cause. The battery for the
Phats was Dopkins and Geo. Stinson,
and for the Leans, Clarke and Smith.
Big Jack Stinson was the feature of
the game and created more fun than
box of monkeys with his coaching,
base running and ball lodging. Pete
johnson played the first half of the
game, but retired in favor of lighter
weight. Joe Blanchard made the only
home run, George HowleY officiated
as umpire and DIR. Spur as scorer.
There was no need of an ambulance
and John Spooner took in the game
with nothing to do but laugh. There
were great many ladies present and
they sll seemed to enjoy the game as
we'll as the men.
There is talk of organizing "Fat
Mans Ball Club" here in Morris to
challenge the heavy weights of neigh
boring towns, no member of the club
to weigh less than 18O pounds.

Attempted HOId-Up.

A stranger, with more money than
good judgment, fell into bad COM
pany last night, and in consequence
almost lost what money he had on
his person, but owing to his strong
lungs he brought what few citizens
happened to be on the street at that
time to his rescue. The affair occurred
near the old creamery and N, P. rail
road tracks. His assailants escaped,
but are known, and will probably be
arrested today.
