THE GROUND hog APPEARED
And There Will be Rad Weather ACCOf-
dino TO the Old Dutch Legend.

The weather bureau has pre-
ti'ctcd some cold and disagree
hb!e weather this month and the
forecast mus! be good this time.
said q ground hog believer
Saturday, "for the ground hog
saw his shadow and went a sour
rvin" back TO his hole, there
10 remain for SIX weeks yet
1t appeared that there might
h,. a compromise with the baro-
meter rod :nt, for the Sun had
shone for only short while
early in the morning when the
skies became cloudy and Shut
out the rays of the fire ball. But
again III the afternoon, the skies
cleared and again did the sun
shine brightly, and the ground
hog seeing his shadow on the
damp earth became frightened
and back he hurried to his un-
derground cavern and will re-
main there for six weeks yet,
when he will again come into
the living world and no matter
whether the sun shines or not
that day he will have overcome
his first scare and determine
not to be frightened any more
and the winter will be over.
So its wood and coal for six
weeks. Overcoats will have to
stand a little more wear and the
farmers up in Pennsylvania and
Maryland will sit around fires
for some time yet before they
can put 4 hand to the plov.
Children will play on the hills
with their sleds and sleigh bells
will jingle with merriment, Tor
the ground hog is now fast as
leep in his hole and will sleep
for over 40 days to come. For
as the German legend goes.
IF Candlemas day be bright and
fair
The ground hog will return to
his lair.
And yesterday was Candlemas
day and it was fair in the early
morn aud late in the afternoon.
The Dutch weather prophets
and our government prognostl'
Gators have agreed, and when
such Il seldom thing happens
their icint prediction must have
some weight about it. SO when
it gets cold and di>agreeable,
don't place all the blame on the
weather man, for the ground hog
has half interest, having leased
