that all Christmas greens must be

day, and when he finds snow, walks
abroad; but II he secs sun shining. he

the superstition about the badger. but
this animal is little known cast of

the weather prediction has been trans
ferred from its shoulders to that of the
woodchuck or grounding. Farmers
maintain that the reason for this Is
that the woodchuck comes to look out
for his shadow, and If he secs 1t, scut-
