Well, he did and now maybe old Mr. Winter won't stick around six more weeks after ail. According to the old superstition if the groundhog sees his shadow and runs back into his hole six weeks of blustery weather will follow. So this morning Jacob Hummel, who li\es about a half mile north of the city limits, decided to fool winter by pre venting the groundhog from running back into the hole. Mr. Hummel happened to know where the city's offi cial weather prognosticator had his house and lot, atid early this morning he waited for him to stick liis nose out into the bright sunshine. Sure enough, he came out, blinked around, and then—SAW It. But he didn't scamper back for Mr. Hummel nabbed him.

Only within the last few days did David scandalize the barnyard, how ever. It happened thus: One even ing tho daughteTr of the house placed some fresh meat and bread on the plate of Fldo, the house dog; David strolled over and ate most all of Fido's supper. Now he turns up his beak at mere corn and other food of feathered things—and goes In entirely for bread and meat. Didye ever!
