PREDICT A COLD WINTER.
Old Timer Says shucks Indicate 1t
Will be a Singer.

Cedar Rapids, Oct. 5.-The old tim
ers are once more on deck with their
annual predictions that this is going
to be the coldest winter in twenty
wears. One of them who has interested
himself in the matter, says that he
"never seen corn shucks thicker thar
this year, least wise, not since '73
when we had the coldest winter ever
seen in these parts" He says that
the wishbone of the chicken is un.
usually thick, which is an infallible
sign of a hard winter.
During the past few days various
hocks of geese and ducks have been
noticed bound for the south. Last year
the ducks did not arrive before Octo-
ber and their late arrival was fol-
lowed by an unusually mild winter.
The hunters who have been out an
bagged ducks, state that they are
heavily feathered and this is given as
another sign of zero weather in large
chunks.
