BOLD DEFI HURLED AT THE GROUNDHOG Ignorant Creature Has Been Posing as a Long-Distance Weather Man Too Long. IT IS TIME TO' SHOW HIM UP By A. R. GROH. A certain ignorant creature has been preter.dingfor years to be wise, Today I shall smite this creature. I shall tear from him his mask of intelligence. 1 shall, hurl hiin from his pedestal. And I shall leave him lying there a laughing stock of those whom he has so long deceived. Ihe creature that is to feel my wrath is none other than the ground hog. Today is his dayi you know. 'Today it is supposed he issues from his burrow. If he sees his shadow he becomes frightened and rushes into his hole again. And this, wc are told, is : sign that winter will continue yet forty days. I shall place this superstition be neath the merciless rays of my logic. I shall rend it root from branch. Ij shall leave it not a leg to stand on. The metaphors are mixed, it is true. But tins is no time to think of metaphors. Forward to the argu ment! ' Has no Calenda. In the first place, how does the groundhog know when February 2 comes? He hasn't and calendar hang ing in his burrow; He knows no re of calendars than a cat does of trigonometry. in .the second place, he wouldn t be scared by his shadow. Don't be lieve it. He is a courageous little cuss. The cyclopedia says: '.'The wood- chuck, groundhog, or Maryland mar mot (Arctomys monax) will often successfully contend with a dog of larger size than itself." , In the third place, suppose that he did know when Februrry 2 came and suppose he did sec Ins shadow and did rush back into his hole, how would that cause the immediate arrival of gentle spring? At this Startling climax of mv ar gttment I pause for reply. Nobody answers. My logic is unanswerable. Be no Longer Deceived. Good people, let us rouse ourselves from tins superstition. Let us re fuse any longer to he influenced by the mythical sagacity of this fellow. He is a traud. He is nothing bqt low, common, vulgar rodent. . I cast it in vour teeth, ground hog, woodchuck. Maryland marmot or whatever you call yourself. You are an impostor. You wouldn't know a calendar frbm a calabash. You lie there in the dried grass in your bur row all winter and you never dowake up until the warm sun of spring has thawed you out. Ha, ha I 1 laugh at you, wood- chuck. I laugh in your face, ground hog. ' Go ahead. Eat your clover and cab bages and beans, as the cyclopedia savs vou do. but don t trv to nose as a forty-day weather forecaster, You can t get away with it. Not while brave and outspoken men are guarding the liberties of the people.
