A Surprise Fer the Weather Prophet
A century and half ago people used
to depend upon the weather prognosti.
cations in Partridge's Almanac. One
day Partridge himself put up at q
country inn for dinner The hostlel
advised him to stay the night, as II
would certainly rain. Nonsense"
said Partridge, and proceeded on biz
way. Soon a heavy shower fell, which
so impressed the traveller that he Id
stantly rode back to the inn and offer
ed the hostler half a crown If he would
tell him how he knew the rain was i'm
imminent.
WELL" replied the man. with a grin
pocketing the coin. 1.-The truth is We
have Partridge's Almanac here. and
he's such a liar that whenever he
promises a fine day we know it will be
foul. Today 10 set down as fine.'
