Our Fine Winter Weather.

The following from the Grand Forks
Herald is pretty strong language but
true, nevertheless:
Didn't some weather prophet predict
"P%arr1cuiarry srUr11y- Observation-Disclosures
Der, including the first half? Yet we are
approaching the middle Of the month,
and better weather could not have been
asked for ever since the month set in.
1t is nov too late for the prophets to
redeem themselves; if we should have a
little furry of snow one of these days,
the fakirs would all claim that they had
been vindicated. The long distance
weather prophet is a fraud and a fake,
no matter who he may be or where he
may be found.

White Doe of Rylstone." Wordsworth
said that when he first thought seri-
ously Of being a poet he looked into
himself to see how he was fitted for
the work and seemed to find there
that first great gift the vital SOUL" a
statement which shows that, whatever
other people may think Of him, he had
a pasyably fair opinion Of himself. He
frequently expressed his opinion Of his
own poetry and once said that he had
widened the domain Of the poet owe a
