New York Tribune.
CHARLES sprsgue of the Grand Central
Hotel tells good story about one OF his
guests, citizen Of Idaho, who under
took to 20 about town and transact busi-
ness during some of the showery dsys Of
last week. One afternoon, when Ave or
six blocks from the hotel, he was caught
in severe rsinstorm without an UNI
brella, and, noticing a place where suoh
protectors are sold near by, he went in
to buy one, In Idaho, az he afterwnrd
explained, umbrellas are next to I'M
known, as 1t never rained there. There
were but two in his county, he said. One
of these he had tackled up in his place Of
business as q specimen of eastern ciyili-
cation, and the other the judge of the
district kept in his office as curiosity to
show his baokwoods constituents.
| After the gentleman from Idahon hao
selected an umbrella TO suit him, his at
tenkion was attracted to other articles in
the store which he thought he needed,
and when he got through be had bought
two or three neckties. some underoloth-
ing, collars and cuffs, pair of sus-
penders and few other things In the

bundle when the clerk had put them all
together. He paid the bill and, placing
tho bundle under his loft arm, with his
new umbrella in his right hand, he
started for the Grand Central. The rain
was now pouring down in torrents, flood
ing Broadway and flushing the cutters,
to the delight Of the street cleaning de-
partment, but our Idshoan had his mind
fixed on the wearing apparel which he
had bought, and he never thought OF his
umbrella. 1t is true that he used it as
cane az he sped ON ut dog trot through
tine tempest, but 1t did not occur to him
to hoist 1t; neither did he notice the as
tonished looks of the people he passed.
In due time he reached the hotel in o
thoroughly drenched condition.
why didn't you raise your umbrella,
Sam 7" asked Mr.. Sprsgre with droll
look, as his guest stood before him with
the water dripping in puidles on all
sides Of him.

half u hundred storm-stayed people
roared ct the westerner's plight as he
hurried to his room to divest himself OF
his soaked raiment. But he has remained
in town long enough to find his new um-
bfella useful article after all.
