THE GROUND HOG DOES
COME OUT OF HIS HOLE
Has Been Seen Feb. 2 for % Consecu
tive Years on Swisher Fran
at Port Byron.

fuihllment OF the prOgnostication OF
the ground hog might be urged as j
reason for allowing that animal to
continue his seista that he resumed
Feb. ? uninterrupted at least till the
end OF six weeks. But here is a story
from the upper end OF the county that
has been dragged out by the Port By.
ron Globe that will bear repeating:
The late S. L. Swisher, who resided
for many years one mile east of Port
Byron, took particular interest in max
ing observations on ground hog day.
\ short distance south of the house
where he resided is a spring where
the stock was watered each day. Near
the spring was sort of natural cave
of which the ground hogs had taken
possession. and it was their custom TO
go to the spring each day to drink dur
ing the season when they were not hi
bernating.
During the winter months until Feb.
2 there would be no signs of the
ground hogs about the spring. but for
% years the animals came from their
lair without fail on this particular
date. When there was snow on the
ground the tracks of the gound hogs
could be seen, and when such was not
the case. preparations for making OBJ
servations were made on the preceding
night
The strange part of the story is that
the actions of the animals were exact
~ in conformity to the legend. If the
day were bright with the sun not OBJ
scured by clouds. the tracks showed
that the ground hog made a detour
of the spring and then crawled back to
his nest. If the day was cloudy. and
the animal not able to see his shadow,
he would make for the forest, at least
the tracks indicated as much. II was
also observed that if the ground hog
did not see his shadow. the animals
would be seen about during the r.
mainder of the winter. but if they were
unfortunate in this respect nothing
would be seen of them until well into
March
s L. Swisher made these observa-
tons for % years, and after his death
Eve years ago. his son. c. c. Swisher,
at present residing at Walker Station.
kept up the practice for three years,
making a total of IS years. While the
character of the weather may have had
no influence upon the ground hog, the
coincidence is very interesting never

Mildred Hollands Enaaaement.

The Triumph of An Empress one
of the seasons big successes, will be
the attraction at the Illinois theatre
next Monday evening. The delightful
comedy and powerful emotional acting
of Mildred Holland, as well as the
magnificent mounting of the play and
the excellence of the supporting COM
pany have attracted instant and ia
vorable attention. Miss Hollands
conception of Catherine the Great is
regarded as a masterpiece In the
earlier scenes of the play she shows
Catherine as she was when a girl. Her
vivacity, her freedom of speech. her
generosity, are all splendidly illustra-
ted, and are effective not only from a
historic standpoint. but from the stand
point of the historian. The superior
excellence of Miss Hollands portrayal
OF the famous Russian empress may
be judged by the following reference
TO the star, play and production by
the Boston Journal: Mildred Holland
has scored a hit in The Triumph of
An Empress at the Majestic theatre
The play has been given a really elab-
crate production, and it is presented by
