STORMY WEATHER BACKS
BELIEF IN GROUND HOG
However, Bureaus Weekly Forecast
Calls for Temperatures About
Seasonable Average.

Well. the ground hog must have seen his
shadow, all right. for today's weather
justifies the belief. If this is "a sample Of
climatic conditions for the next six
weeks a constitutional amendment for
the adjustment of ground hog day ought
to go through with a rush.

failed to see his shadow he needs the
services of an oculist. Which means, ac-
cording to ancient weather lore. that he
beat 1t back into the cave where he hi
bernates there to hide and snooZe for
forty-two long days, during which cold
weather. billiards, snowstorms and all the
other denominations of winter are suppos-
ed to scourge the land And March 4
as we'll as March 3-comes we'll within
that six weeks.
However. the weather bureaus weekly
forecast or bulletin calls for tempera-
lures about the seasonal average during
this week. at any rate. though the fore
caster says there probably will be plenty
OF rain or snow all over the country.
"A disturbance that now covers the

Saturday. and general rains and SHOWS
Will likewise accompany this storm area.
Considerable, colder weather is due in the
northwest Thursday or Friday, spreading
it to Washington by Saturday night or
Sunday.
Blizzard Started a Year Ago.
Anyhow, whether there is anything In
the ground hog superstition not, one
year ago today blizzard started east
ward from the far northwest, and Feb
ruary ) the temperature in Washington
official-Was down to a minimum Of T.
above zero. While the predicted blizzard
reality failed to extend this far, the
cold accompanying it came along all
right, and kept the ice from going out of
the river or bay. A year ago this date
a game of base ball was played on the
ice at the tidal basin and skating had
been enjoyed there and along the river
for several weeks prior to February 3.
Likewise. there was plenty of snow on
the ground. and several inches fell, on
top of the old accumulation, the night of

This done. then let us back

and cup Of coffee.
And the how OF it thus One day eccentric
wanderer called house in Vincennes in which Matte
worked maid, and asked for bite to eat. The
the house drove him but Matte tendercr hearted
watched her chance and gave him the makngs OF meal
Her kindness impressed the wanderer that he went

on it wrote his will naming Matte his heir.

DOMESTIC PEAcEMAkER.

Queen Mary Of England has display
ed many strong traits OF character
since her elevation, but in nothing has
she taken a f1rmer stand than against
the unwholesome display of marital
discord in the divorce courts. She
may believe in divorces for particular
reasons and under particular circum-
stances. although she has affectually
discouraged them among the nobility.
Gay young scions Of nobility may not
hope fagrantly to disregard their do
nestle obligations and continue to en-
Joy the favor Of the queen. Divorces.
who have sought the publicity of the
courts and poured forth their woes
may no longer bask in the smiles of
royalty, unless their cause be most un-
usual. The queen recently emphasized
this when she commanded the duke
and duchess Of Westminster to appear
together at a state dinner, say the
Cleveland Plain Dealer The command,
of course, brought the separated
couple together and the duke display
ed the most considerate, even If frig-
Id attention to the duchess. 1t was their
first appearance together in public in
three years, during which time their
separation has been publicly discuss
ed. Queen Mary, wife and mother,
may we'll maintain the position she
has taken. The shameless and wan
ton abuse of the privileges of the di
vorce court needs such a rebuke as
that implied by the course of Eng
lands queen.

LITERAL IN HIS THEOLOGY
Darby Preachers Humorous Comment
on Biblical Text AS He Under
stood Its Meaning.

OF old the right of individual private
Interpretation of the scriptures was
not accorded to the laity. Only the
priests or preachers were authorized
to say what was meant by the sacred
text. That has all been changed, and
no man will now be expelled from the
most orthodox church for believing
that Balaam's palace mule did not
really address his fellow citizens of
Judea on the political issues Of the
day, or considering that the statement
of the suns standing still at the order
of Captain Joshua was an illustrative
allegory and not the record Of frozen
fact.
This advance in theology is illus
trated by the story of the darby
preacher who delivered a sermon from
the text, These eight did Micah
bear"
"Muffrinds," said he, you Is singu-
larly blessed by de Lawd in dis gen.
GRAFTON. If you wants some milk you
done goes to youah COW, and at one
milk you gets enough of de laciferous
fluid fob eight people. In de olden
times Of which de Bible speaks 1t
took eight folks to milk a bear, en- l
specs dey gets mighty little milk at
dat. Angeles Times.
