The Only Man Who was Ever Satisfied
With the Weather.

We never knew more thau one man VIII
was perfectly satisfied with the weather at all
times and under all circumstances. 1t was
Chubb. In summer, when the thermometer
bolted up among the nineties, Chubb would
come to the front door with beads of perspi-
ration standing out all over his red face, until
his head would look like a rasp
berry, and would look at the sky and say,
'Splendid-perfectly splendid! Noble wea-
ther for the poor ard for the ice companies
and tor the washer-women! They don't
shake up any such climate as this in Italy.
Gimme my umbrella, Harriet, while l sit out
here on the steps and enjoy It." In winter,
when the mercury would creep down fifteen
degrees below zero, and the cold was severe
enough to freeze thelnside of Vssuvius solid 10
the centre of the globe, Chubb would sit on q
fence and exclaim, ''By Jngoi did you ever
see such we ather as this? 1 like an atmos-
phere that freezes up your very marrow. 1t
helps the coal trade and keeps the snakes
quiet. Don't talk of summer time to me.
Gimme cold and give it to me stifr''
When there was drought, Chuob used to
meet us on the street and remark, mo rain
yet, l see! Magnificent, isn't 1t? 1 want
my weather dry; l want it with dampness
left out. Moisture breeds fever and ague,
aud vets your clothes If there's anything
for me, if you please" When it rained for
week, and swamped the country, Chubb
often dropped in to see US and to
observe, IT dunno how you feel about
this yer rain, but it allus seems to me that
the heavens never drops no blessings but
when we have long wet spell. 1t makes
the corn jump and cleans the sewers. I
wouldn't give cent to live in climate
where there was no rain. Put me on the
Nile, and r d die in week. Soak me through
and throught to the inside of my undershirt,
and / feel as if life was bright and beautiful,
