VISITED BY BURGLARS.
Three Homes Entered and At
tempt T1ade on Fourth Sum
day Night.

Sunday night burglars paid visits
to four houses in different parts OF
town and effected an entrance into
three of them. The method of enter
inc was the same in each case showing
that the robberies were committed by
the same men.
Mr.. J. g. Dauterive's home on
Main street was one Of the places en-
tered. This was effected by cutting
the blinds. Two old chairs IN the
wood house were brought out and
used by the burglars. The prints of
the chairs in the ground were plain
next morning. That they worked
le;surely is shown by the fact that one
chair was pushed under The house and
the other taken back to the wood
house. and that they opened wide a
number of windows. Mr.. Dauterlye
states that they took his bank book,
check book and. d pocket book con-
tanning 500. 0O. They visited the home
of Mr.. d. Pelletier on Washington
street. entering the same way. but got
nothing. They also went into Mr..
Alcide Alleman's by cutting the
blinds. but got only Sl.9o. They at
tempted to enter Mr.. Barry's residence
across the street. but failed because
the sash was fastened down. Mrs. lar
nv was awakened by the attempts and
made a noise which frightened the
burglars off. The officers are making
every effort to get a clue to the robbers
but as yet have failed.

FAILED TO SEE SHADOW
oRoUNDHo0 TOOK LOOK AROUND
AND REMAINED OUT.

This is grounding day. and according to q
venerable rural legend If the woodchuck,
Familiarity known as the grounding, creeps
out of his hole between sunrise and high
noon this day and sees It's shadow outlined
by the sunshine. the little animal promptly
scampers back into its aperture and there
remains for six weeks more. But today the
grounding failed to see its shadow and
II the popular tradition finds verifcation
the winter is practically over and there will
be an early spring.
But am afraid the little grounding will
be wrong in his forecast this time" Prof.
Edward B. Garriott of the weather bureau
said to Star reporter this afternoon. ct
ably tough winter weather before balmy
spring puts in its appearance
The professor also said that the cold wave
promised for tomorrow would in itself at
the very outset serve to disprove the
grounding theory of meteorology.
The story of the woodchuck or ground
hog on February g as told by the country
folk for many years to their children while
seated In the glow of the great hearth fire,
Is that on noon of this date thousands Of
years ago, when the earth was young one
OF the first members of the ground hog fam
lily after sleeping away the long days and
nights Of winter in it's burrow, awakened
on February and crept quietly from its
hole to take an observation of the weather.
Frightened by Shadow.
The animal found the sun shining bright
ly, and seeing its shadow cast upon the
ground after having been asleep so long,
it became greatly frightened, thinking 1t
was beast of prey, and rushed back into
its den.
The god Of the clouds and storms, SO the
legend goes, observing the action of the
woodchuck, decreed that thereafter Feb
ruary 2 the animal should first emerge
from its den, and should the day be sun
shiny 80 that the ground hog could see its
shadow. six weeks Of icy, stormy weather
would follow.
On the contrary, should the day be cloudy,
gloomy or stormy, so that the little animal
could not see its shadow, it would mean
that winter was practically over and there
would be an early spring.
That, in substance, is the story Of the
ground hog and his winter prediction as
it has been told and retold for, 10! these
many years.
This day is also known in the church
calendar as Candlemas day. and Is cele-
brated in all the Catholic churches as such.
1t Is described as the festival Of the purifi-
cation of the Blessed Virgin, and today
all the candles that are to be used in the
Catholic churches during the year will be
consecrated.
1t is day of folklore, and many pretty
traditions have found their origin during
its twenty-four hours in the years of long
ago. In Scotland the day is regarded with
great reverence, and a quaint Scotch coup
let is:
'If Candlemas is fair and clear
There'll be twa winters in the year."
In the country the grounding predc-
ton as to February and March weather
is regarded as truthful, and the average
farmer will swear on his almanac that
the woodchuck's forecast given by his
shadow, or the absence of it, will be veri-
fed.
