says an exchange. The "lreak" is not so
curious, however, when il is known that

every four, but not always on Saturday.

murder of Chief of Police McGrath OF Ii

Alright from that section. On certain

An expert has figured out hat the
difference between rising every morning
at and s, in the course of forty years,
amounts to 29.2OO hours, or three years
one hundred and twenty-one days aud

: Sunday was groundhog day and If
the fellow was out strolling about during
the entire day he surely saw his shadow,
for the sun shown at short intervals
several times, and we shall therefore
have six weeks more of winter weather.
But no sensible hog-ground or other
