WE have stood a great deal
lately, but we are determined to
call a halt. This persistent and
merciless persecution by an over
bearing and unfeeling weather
bureau must cease. Our honor
and the laundry bills both de
mand it. We have had more

of the choice variety which APP
peals to good taste. Weather
has been thrust upon us in huge
chunks, in long slabs, and in
sizzling streaks. Il is weather
of the sticky, notified, v~ariegated
stripe, and its quality has been
entirely sacrificed for quantity.

bad temper and rash action. A
man feels widowed one day and
yearns to be embatmed in an ice
berg the next. We are satiated
with weather, overstocked with
it, overwhelmed by it. Give US
a breeze, or give us our money
back.

will not be cursed by any more

come in the way of Salutary 'es-

harm that is to follow will be in
