Detroit hotel, Fasasi f,is umbrella from the stand,
whereupon be srcd h;tasslt TO e nimilar one and
went on a raik ap M down the s;rects. After mo-
ticing that the 'natives' seemed quite pleased at
both his white aud umbrella as they ought
to go together he took look himself at the outside
of his "borromed' umbrella, and there he found
painted in large white letters:

Our critical liend took a look At the clouds with
a look m0re IL. sorrow ,hHn in anger,' and con-
claded that there wasn't rain enough to make it
worth while to spread an umbrella, not skGt one

Visions, which were supplied by the in.
habitants.
