Here Is Good News If It Only Turns Out True.

Northern Indians, schooled in woodcraft, through the signs streams and forest, see a' kindly, softened winter and their labors thus lessened. They will not go to any great shakes to have their squaws build warm wigwams, they say. The Indians base their belief on the light corn crop and the scarcity and laziness of the squirrels at this time, when they should be filling their tree caches. In addition, the muskrats are dilatory in building their habitations, the fur bearing animals have thin coats now, when they should be fitting out ’n their thickest overcoats, and bark on trees is loose.
