WINTER BY D. C. PEATTIE, saw the fire Every locality has its white-wiskered, wrinkled, old codger, who, from his cracker box at the crossroads store, pre- dicts the weather, both of the imme- diate and the distant future. These old fellows are especially fond of telling you that it is going to be a cruel, hard Win- ter. The early descent of the sap in sumacs, the activity of nut-storing squirrels, the fiight of the geese, are supposed to foretell hard Winters. For some reason I have never heard any of them predict an easy Winter. All weather forecasts by venerable rus- tic weather predicters are gloomy. ‘Another strange thing is that 1 never hear any of these weather prophets, either amateur or professional guessers, venture to state that it will be an early Spring, unless it is, as everybody can see for himself. an early Spring already.
