presumption for the last week or two,
to keep predicting q big Storm He
said 1t was 'brewing," and he still
keeps It brewing. 1t will make a pow
erful old decoction II he brews it much
longer. This fallacious old weather.
cock goes on to tell how his barometer
has gone down, down, and keeps going
down, until 1t must be away below
zero. far on the bedrock, yet his prog
nostications don't pan out even the
color. He even went so far as to an
nounce In yesterdays paper that his
storm would be along by to-day at the
farthest, sunless all signs fail" Dan Is
no signal corps, but a signal failure as
a weather prophet. he knows no more
about It than a Chinaman's donkey
does about politics. For his private
information we will state that there
will be no storm for q week.
