HE WAS CLAD OF ANY SORT I
White Mountain Philosopher Who
Was Not Particular as
to Weather.
My sumrner vacation was plan
ned to take in the ascent of a high
peak in the White mountains with
a city friend, a gentleman who had
not had the advantage of moun
tain climbing, writes “The Saun
terer." in the Boston Budget. We
planned to make part of the ascent
the day before, resting at an old
farmhouse part way up the moun
tain, relieving us of two or three
miles of climbing the following
day. The furniture of the farm
house was primitive, the fare some
what simple, consisting of ham
and eggs and a cup of ehiekory,
with some eream-of-tartar biscuit.
As we retired for the night we
hoped for a pleasant day in the
morning, as our view depended
upon the absence of clouds.
Our host was a philosopher, of
unshaven face and quaint appear
ance, and spent much of his time
on the door stoop, which copsisted
of an immense Hat stone, upon
which he rested his feet while lie
smoked t lie pipe of peace.
< >11 r slumbers ended early in the
morning, and after dressing we
immediately attempted to predict
the weather. Chafing at the prev
alence of heavy fog and clouds run
ning so low as to prevent any view
should we climb the mountain, we
impatiently found fault with the
weather, and gave vent to some
unkind remarks about the pervad
ing dampness and fog.
Thereupon the old philosopher
approached me, and laying his
mammoth hand upon my shoulder,
remarked, ‘‘Young man. it is fool
ish for you to find fault with the
weather. You ought to be more
grateful for the blessings you
have. As for myself, when I wake
in the morning I thank God that
there is any weather at all.”

We cannot enumerate the new styles we show. In short, when new styles come forth they *
it are at Whiting's. Our prices on Millinery are cut to the last notch. Cost is not considered. We 'b
$ have a beautiful lot of Ladies' and /Hisses' Parasols, and are selling the 75c ones at 50c, or the $1.25 !}i
»{' ones for 75c. Incomparable are the values we offer in this line, but they must go. Clothing prices
it have received the same price-reducing stroke, and in many cases 40 per cent has been sliced off W
i*- the former prices. We want your trade, and we have the inducements, so hurry along. §
