drug store and is back in business.

don't think prohibition is practical. The
Germans, you see, prevent it. Look at

have just invented a method of making
brandy out of sawdust. Now, what
chance will prohibition have when
man can take ripsaw and go out and
get drunk on fence rail?'

vile! Why didn't they rustic one more
vote at least, just to break the hoodoo.
This year the watchers have been
busy all along the line and the ground
hog is at last exposed. The grounding
has been discredited. The prophecies
based on the absurd old superstition
are set at naught. No longer need we
give them serious or respectful audi
ence. The truth is that the grounding
is stupid and inconsequent animal He
is lazy, almost an inert brute. He
doesn't know anything more about the
weather of the future than does the
ordinary weathercock. He may come
out Of his hole on Feb. 2, but if so it is
only in the capacity of a rather ignorant
and languid observer, He may come
out before or after that, he may be out
all the time. But in any event he is
humbug and there is no good in him.
There is where we dismiss the ground
hog and all his ways. New York Sun.
