Apropos of Pwln nary now about the ground boy in jesterday's paper there were a i, my Inquiries on the street aa to what a ground ho la. An Observer reporter bad the Question put to htm, and, being ashamed ot hi Ignorance, undertook to Inform himself.- , . . "What to a ground bog?" he asked grandmotherly lady, V "I 'have been wondering, she rt plied- "All my H' have heard how he la a weather prophet, but I never, knew- of anybody's actually having seen htm." , Her husband was with her. "You mean you don't know what a 'ground-hog la?" be laughed -Surely you know he is an animal about the 1 slae' of- a 'possum. He come out on '"February 2 nd If he sees his shadow ' be - goes back Into hie hole. That rneana a long cold spell of winter ahead." . yea yea. I know that. But when did you last see one?" "Oh, I never saw one myself, the " t Old gentleman admitted. , There were two or three games of set-back going dnjln Ihe card room of ' the club. ' ., 'Boya. who knows what a ground 4 bog Is?" the reporter Inquired, gener- ' ! They all suspended playing and be- ) ' eame Immediately .Interested. Every) man could answer the question, but) '.confusion arose from the variety of j ' the answers. "He's nothln' hut a wood- " ''chuck." declared a man who hud been j . bred In New Hampshire. "A sort of . around squirrel." another alleged. "No, ; 15'.- - - .. . .IT. MAnlna nt I jo aaifl a intra. n n. si";"" real hog, of diminutive slge and of bur- rowing habits." "Yes." a fourth par- - ttatly agreed: "he Is one of these kind . of animals which dig a hole and crawl 1 into It In the winter time. Just aa that ' ' kind of animal will do." f 'V "But a snake does that." objected r " the reporter. . '"Aw, he's a chlpmonk! said a scorn ful fellow, off hand. ' ' ."But what's a chlpmonk-" cried sev s erat. in a breath. ' - "A ch?tmonk." said the scornful fel- Jow, "la a ground ho." There was no reliable resort left but the Century Dictionary, wherein ap pears the little heast and a definition ' of him as belnu Indentlcal with the f wooden uck. This Is In some sections "known as ground hog day and In others as woodchuck day. The dlc 'J tlonary says that If he comes out and -r surveys the weather and hibernates . again there will be six more weeks of . winter. r BIXXTKED RTRF.KT 17 MIXCTRS. t Engineer Nelson, on the Southern Ry In the Oltv l'olloo Court, for Vio lating a City Ordinance Ricked ' , ' Negro Inlo the Street The IStli fCfrGs-mWw" Sent . v Mr. 3 A.
