| tangible indications of the speedy dissolution
| of winter. These ranged in value from the
| springlike tone of ROSTERS early morning
crow to robins chirp, and. aside from the
variety represented, were chiefly remarkable
| for the faith each writer pr0fessed in his par
ticular sign. 1t is doubtful. however, that they
made any impression on skeptical public which
has seen too many spring signs fail to become
| enthusiastic even when its attention is called
| TO large and choice collection of them.
| All signs apparently, were meant to mock
hope, but there is a peculiar maliciousness
about the spring sign that makes it particularly
offensive. Like dreams, all such signs, go by
| contraries. What is needed is an entirely new
| set that will warn the credulous that the early
robin means a belated blizzard; the April
crocus, May ''cold spell"; May showers June
| frosts, etc. The robin sign, most popular OF
all, is also the most falible. But this is not to
