A METEOROLOGICAL DOG.
The mysterious prescience which some
animals seem to have of changes in weath
er conditions Is sometimes put at the ser
vice of man. Bentley Whitman, a Kansas
farmer, was greatly aided In his profes
sion, says the New Tork Recorder, by a
meteorological dog, a cross of collie and
setter. Benjy that's the dog had only
three legs and was blind of one eye, but
he was dearly loved. For twenty hours
preceding a rainstorm Benjy carried Ms
tall curled between his legs. When the
weather is "set fair," the tall curled over
his back Jauntily, and ,f there was reason
to apprehend high winds or storm, he
used to wag his tall exoltedly and lay
near the door of the cyolone cellar, whin
ing. Some miscreant, having a grade
against Whitman, one night cut oft the
dog's eloquent tall. Benjy was over
whelmed with grief, and after a month of
repining, during which time a number of
disastrous weather changes came unher
alded, finding that he could no longer be
of service, Benjy deliberately committed
iiloide by knocking a bottle of bootleg
whisky off the table and lapping it up
from the floor as it escaped from the
broken bottle.

LEADER
Our new store, at 124-126
Wyoming avenue, formerly
occupied by Gorman's Grand
Depot, and which will be
known as THE LEADER,
will be opened to the public
next Saturday morning, July
13.
We have purchased the en
tire stock of Mr. Gorman, and
while that would be considered
plenty for an ordinary dry
goods store, it was not near
large enough nor varied
enough for THE LEADER.
We went to New York, and
as it was practically the end
of the dry goods season there
all the stores taking stock
and not doing any more busi
ness the jobbers and manu
facturers were glad enough to
sell us an immense stock at a
good deal lower figure than
even the largest of the large
New York stores got their
stock for earlier in the season.
We got these goods so cheap,
in fact, that in almost every
instance we can afford to sell
goods for less money than the
average firm bought theirs for
a couple of months earlier.
We are going to do our best
to give the people of Scranton
and vicinity a really first-class
dry goods, fancy goods and
millinery establishment our
bnsiness experience has all
been with the large New York
houses, and we propose to
transact our business upon
broad-guaged Metropolitan
principles.
Politeness is a great thing
in the dry goods business
in fact the people demand it
and must have it, and will not
patronize a store whose em
ployes are not obliging and
painstaking, Our employes
will be found to be highly effi
cient and polite we. will not
have any who are not. Any
one who visits our store,
whether as customers or mere
ly to look around and see
what kind of a store we have,
will be assured of marked at
tention on the part of every
one of our employes. This
is a point we will insist on.
In short, we are' going to
have a strictly modern dry
goods store, with new goods,
new methods, new ideas and
painstaking with all our cus
tomers. In consequence of the late
ness ot the season our mil
linery stock will not be
complete until fall. What
ever stock of summer mil
linery wc now have on
hand will be sold at 25
cents on the dollar.
Our new store, THE
LEADER, will be opened to
the public on next Saturday
morning, July 13.
' The general public is cor
dially invited to attend and
inspect our mammoth stock.
