He Would Not Let Go Of His Umbrsll.-
| An Oil story-Ths Lonn Of n Pair of
Patent Leather shoes-A Mistake.
| TT is curious how attached man becomes Co
an old umbrella sometimes. A sort of bond
| springs up between them. But never saw a
man stick to his umbrella with such fidelity
and against such odds as happened the other
day.
The well had come In the day before. and
though it was Sunday. or perhaps because it
was holiday, crowds came from all sides to
| get look at the gusher. Among those who
| approached the derrick was an elderly deacon.
| He owned some small interest in the WELL and
in spite of his scruples, he had come down on
the Sabbath to ''get smell Of the grease" as
| he put it There was nothing noticeable in his
attire, except It's staidness, perhaps, but he
! carried a very large umbrella with big hooked
| handle.
He went up close to the derrick, and some
thing took place that am not enough Of an oil
expert to explain. Anyhow q stream Of De-
troleum shot out over the derrick and sideways
with sufficient force to strike the elderly party
with the big umbrella, and roll him over and
over, drenching him with oil Of course. As he
got up-umbrella still in hand-another spurt
Of oil took him in the back and keeled him over
again. But he kept hold Of the umbrella and
waved it over his head as he exclaimed: That's
oil, sure enough"

Areporter for one Of the Pittsburg dailies
was assigned not long ago to cover q banquet.
It was an affair of some style, and the newspa-
per Adonis decided that he would lend q little
brilliancy to the affair. 30 he went to q brother
reporter on another paper and borrowed from
him pair Of patent leather shoes. The shoes
were needed to put finishing touch upon .

The reporter who SO kindly allowed another
usurphis patent feathers went down to the office
In the evening with pair Of very muddy,
broken shoes-they had not recovered from
trip to the oil country. The city editor ad-
dressed him cheerily as he entered the room
with: Here's q snap for you-go down and
take In the - banquet It's an awfully tony
affair, and you've got time to dress II you
want to-"
So that reporter with meekness retraced his
steps and donned his clawhammer and other
regalia. But he had to hide his feet under the
table with awful carefulness. And the other
fellow-the Adonis who borrowed the patent
leathers-was there ever such base ingratitudef
said after the banquet was over that he'd never

The horse-racing season has hardly
opened before we hear of PAGER who, in q
private trial, went a quarter Of mile in %
seconds. This is held to be promise of record
smashing; but it will not do to be too san
guine from this one straw. In view Of previous
experience it is safe to say that private per-
formances of a quarter of mile below 30
seconds or at less than the two minute rate
for the full mile, are very different from lower
ing the record of 2:lO on q public track with
half dozen other horses crowding the flyer.

A PITTsBURe philanthropist, says the De-

CHIEF JUSTICE FULLER is q very unassum-

TIE commander of the revenue

The commander of the revenue cutter
Rush which cruises in BehrIng Sea during the
sealing season, is reported to say that he ex-
poets to make very few seizures of Canadian
sealing vessels this year. As the reports from
Victoria are to the effect that the Canadians
are going out after the seals just the same, this
expectation indicates q conviction on the part
of the captain that while he was able to seize
the schooners and let them 60 again last year,
he might have to call in outside aid to help him
let 90 of them this season.

SERGEANT DUNN's theory of the caus

SERGEANT DUNN's theory of the cause
Of our mild winters is to the effect that If the
winter storms come as far south as New YORK
City, the weather will be cold; If they stay in
the North, the more southern latitudes have
mild weather. As the storms did not come
down TO New York this winter, we had mild
weather. This theory will answer splendidly If
some inQuisitive person does not insist upon an
explanation which explains why the winter
storms stay up in the North.

Families in HeIigOland.

The women of Heligoland are. gener-
ally speaking, small and gracefully
formed and present remarkable con-
trast to their tall and strapping mates.
The female lovelness is unfortunately
somewhat transient, no doubt owing in
large measure to the inferior fare and
rough work with the nets. No idea of
female suffrage is ever likely to enter Il
Heligolander's head. His idea of the
relation of the sexes is the old one that
the man is the head of the wife and
that women. take them as YOU like. are
an inferior order; they are kind and
courteous to their women in all re-
spects, but there is no doubt who is
lord and bread-winner. The patri-
archal system has scarcely died out.
Each lustv, broad shouldered son,
though he may have passed his twenty
first birthday. is required to give all or
nearly all his earnings to his father so
long as he lives in his fathers house.
When he marries and takes up house
for himself then only does The patria
protestaS come to an end. Heigo-
landers as n rule marry young; there
are more women than men, and it is
not difficult TO find mate. House
keeping is not an expensive job, and
there is plenty of money to he earned
if Il man is Intelligent and Industrious.
1t may be some time before the young
husband has boat of his own. for a
boat costs f25 (they are ali built in
the island). but he eau always hire
one, paying for its hire about So per
cent of the payment he himself charges.
