The number of Panama or alleged

this season reminded an old gentle
man from Boston Of story the otnei
day. which he proceeded to tell to an
other man in the Fifth Avenue Hotel,

his hand.

But a generation or two ago he was
a well-known figure in Boston, being
one of the famous Unitarian ministers,
a friend of many of the Transcenden-
tallists. He used always to wear
white Panama hat, which at that time
was much more of a luxury than l
iudge it is to-day. The same hat did
him season after season, yet 1t never
seemed to lose any of Its fresh white
ness.
"One day a minister Of the old per
