The COlOnel's Umbrella.


Jonas Hanway was said to be the
first man who carried an umbrella in the
streets of London. Umbrellas were long
before that carried by women, but they
were considered feminine luxury, and
man would no more be seen with one
than nowadays he would walk the streets
with parasol in summer or carry muff
in winter.
But Jonas Hanway, thinking, like a
sensible man, that all the good things
should not be appropriated by women,
boldly walked the streets one day with
al umbrella probably it belonged to his
wife) over his head. He not only kept
himself dry among his fellow creatures,
but he rendered his name immortal and
left a shining example 10 US who have
not always the courage of our convic-
tions."
But il was long before the whole coun-
try got used TO umbrellas. 1t was told
of one distant corner Of Scotland, that
in this quarter umbrellas were sported
only by the laird and the minister, and
were looked upon by the common class
people as perfect phenomena. To see
the minister or the laird go by with an
umbrella over his head was as good as a
circus to the small boys of the village.
One day Daniel Mcpherson called upon
the laird to pay his rent. As he was
about to leave hard shower came on,
and Daniel, being a well-to-do man and
much respected" the laird politely of
fered him the use of an umbrella.
Daniel proudly accepted the loan and,
much elated, walked off with his head
held several inches higher than usual.
He had not been gone many minutes
however, when to the laird's surprise he
saw Daniel posting back with all possible
haste, the umbrella still held firmly over
his head.
"Hae, hae, Kornel," he called out,
"this'll never do! There's nae q door in
a my house that'll tax it in My vera
barn door Wilma tax it in!"
Poor Daniels head had not yet grasped
the idea that the umbrella must be shut
up before he tried to take it in the door.

THE CARIBOU.
Big Game Found In the Forests OF
newfoundland.

The caribou found In Newfoundland
is variety of reindeer known as wood
land caribou. They grow larger and
part of North America. The natives al
ways call them "deer." The bulls they
term "stags," and the females "hinds''
or docs, while the young are known as
.'fawns." These caribou are certainly
noble game, and look entirely different
from tho awkward creatures represented
in pictures A fullgrown stag, with his
great antlers almost covering his shoul-
ders, walking proudly behind herd of
does us they cross q ridge against the
sky line, is O sight long to be remem-
bered, and well calculated to make the
blood tingle IN the veins of n sportsman.
The males are almost white in October,
while the females are somewhat darker.
In summer they are all dark brown in
color, but like the hares und willow
grouse, turn white in the fall as soon MS
the snow flies.
A full-grown stag will measure feet
in length, and stand about 4 feet inches
at the shoulder, with chest measure of
54 inches. The meat dressed will weigh
about 400 pounds. Both the male and
female caribou carry antlers, and some
times those of the doe are as large as the
horns of small stag. The males lose
their antlers in November, but the fe-
males carry theirs until the following
season-a wise provision of nature to en-
able them to protect their young. The
horns of tho stays are only for ornament
and fighting, and not for the purpose of
scraping away the snow, as some people
imagine. When their favorite moss is
covered too deep with snow, they find
plenty of an inferior quality, black in
color, hanging to the stunted trees, but
they only feed on this when the other is
too difficult to obtain.
From the latter partof September TO
the latter part of October thsstegs ere oh
ways ready for fight, and woe to the
individual they catch on the marsh un-
armed. They will charge him without a
moments hesitation. The settlers fear
them at this season of the year more than
all the bears and wolves put together.
They migrate to the southern end of the
island as soon as the first heavy snow
falls-generally about the 1st of Novem-
ber-where they remain until spring,
when they return, keeping nearer the
coast and in the woods in order to escape
the flies that torment them during the
warm weather. On their fall migration,
when they swim across Red Indian Lake
and similar places well known to the
Micmacs and white settlers, they are
clubbed und speared to death by hun.
dreds. Most of these are wasted. My
guide told me he counted one hundred
and fifteen in one heap two years ago,
and he did not believe over dozen were
ever hauled out and used. One of these
days, when too late, they will regret this
stupid and shameful waste.-l Harper's
Weekly.

his colleagues in their regular practice,
but his heart has been with them all
the time, and when he fully RECEIVERS
his health he will make up for lost time.
Repi esentative Washington from the
outset displayed a marked degree of
pluck and energy in addressing himself
TO the difficulties that always beset be-
ginners on the wheel. With the assidu-
Gus coaching OF his friend Johnson,
however, he has become one of the best
riders in the club. He uses a very light
machine and discards all the unnece sary
appliances.
Ex-Speaker Reed, who has the repu-
tation of riding the biggest upright
wheel In the State of Maine when at
home in Portland, is content here in
Washington with low-seated safety"
1t is related authoritatively that when
he first learned to ride in Maine he
"dished' his wheel twice, and broke the
delicate attachments. He still has an
aversion to riding in the fierce gaze OF
publicity which obtains in Washington,
but he nevertheless consents to a little
run now and then in the less frequented
rendezvous of the club.
Representatives Sperry OF Connecti-
cut and Scott of Illinois can be seen on
now, bowling swiftly over the delightful
streets OF the fashionable northwest.
Mr.. Sperry affects a wheel OF home man
ufacture, while Mr.. Scott is pleased with
an imported one. Several of the very
young" Congressman from Massachu-
setts and elsewhere have an equal liking
for both uprights and -safeties" and are
considered connoisseurs as TO the best
styles and makes.
While the asphalt streets leave moth
Ing to be desired for ease and comfort
in riding, the clubs favorite trysting
place is the magnificent driveway called
the White lot, inclosing fifty acres OF
beautiful level park, between the Execu-
tive mansion and the Washington monu-
ment. Thither the Congressman repair
when the House adjourns at five O'Clock
In the afternoon, and enjoy themselves
immensely, with comparative immunity
from observation and interruption. The
only drawback there is the fact that the

ington, paved with the finest asphalt and
the smoothest Of concrete blocks, afford
ideal facilities for bicycling, and the
club avails OF these superior conditions
to the fullest extent.
More than an ordinary amount of
nerve and courage is required of Con-
gressmen from certain parts of the
country In contemplating for themselves
such frivolous diversion as bicycling
in this capital city of the nation, where
the eyes OF the entire public, so to speak,
are constantly centered upon them. In
deed, such adeep-seated prejudice exists
IN many communities against bicycling,
tennis playing and kindred mild forms
OF ornamental athletics that the
riding Congressman from those sec
tions deserve to be congratulated
on the grit they have displayed
In joining the club. The members,
while not seeking to conceal their con-
Dection with it, have not courted pub
licity on the subject or sought TO be
interviewed as to their accomplishments
on the wheel. Down in Kentucky few
years ago a certain capitalist from the
East, filled with enterprising ideas of
progress and invention, undertook to
make the race for Congress In one OF
blue grass districts, using bicycle OF
primitive pattern on his stumping tours
from place To place. He announced to
his prospective constituents that he be-
heyed In all sorts of innovations and
improvements, and cited bicycles as an
illpstratlon, ,lprophesying that they would
in q short time largely supersede the
use OF horses and mules as a mode OF
locOmOtiOn- The voters thereupon, as
might be expected, grew frightened at
the prospect OF losing their livelihood in
raising horses and mules and at the |
polls unanimously showed him out of |
sight under an avalanche of adverse |
votes. Times have changed somewhat |
since then, but in these unsettled days |
Tor statesmen the dear people still Insist |
on knowing both the personal and pub |
lie careers, and even the sports, of their |
representatives in Congress-.
Congressman johnson Is the most ver- |
eatile rider In the club, despite the fact |
that be Is handicapped with fully SOC |
pounds OF flesh. He is one Of the most |
lovial men In the present House, with
ruddy, smooth-shaven face, curly black /
hair and rotund figure. Unlike Henry

When Men Wore Mufs.

The most remarkable circumstance in
the history of the muff is its adoption
and general use by men, and especially
by army officers. There were reasons
for this, however, which should not be
lost sight of. A nun now thrusts his
hands into tho capucious pockets of his
overcoat. The pocket was at this period
in primitive state of development, ow-
ing to the fashion of male apparel in
vogue, and somc appliance essential to
comfort was necessary TO the sterner sex
in winter, especially in the country.
Officers muffs, when not of otter or tiger
skin, were of plush, and worn on t.le arm
when not needed TO cover the hand.
When the sword was drawn they were
attached by cord or scarf. like a car
bine. As to ornaments, those of gal
lan;s followed the feminine caprices of
the time, being literally ornamented with
gold cord, embroidery, passe-
menterie, fringe, etc.-San Francisco
Chronicle.

pedal mount, andiin addition rs able TO
execute TO perfection some OF the most
intricate figures In fancy riding. So en-
thusiastic a friend Of bicycling Is he
that he has taught not only his wife but
his three little children to ride, and FREE
quently takes his whole family out for
an airing ION the road"
Congressman Jerry Simpson, on the
other hand. cares nothing for speed or
fancy figures, but finds an infinite
amount of delight in cantering straight
ahead at q moderate gait. He rides at
any hour OF the morning. afternoon, or
evening, sometimes with his friend Hull
OF Iowa or johnson OF Ohio, but often
est alone, Tin solitary meditation fancy
free" He turns the street corners
warlly, In the most leisurely manner
possible, and In general conducts himself
literally like a philosopher on wheels.
He lives on "The Hill, near the Capitol,
and when the debates In the House hap
pen 20 grow unbearably dull, as they
frequently do. he slips over home, gets
out his Scycle, and takes a quiet little
spin by way of mental and physical rc-
freshment.
Occasionally he meets other members
OF the club by Encouragement on the
open plaza at the east front of the cap
itol, when they all have a hapyy-go-
lucky race over the smooth asphalt.
Thon, after they have sufficiently en-
joyed the keen air whistling about their
ears, they return to the House in time
to vote, depositing their wheels in con-
venient hooks and crypts on the base
ment floor.
Chairman Springer, OF Ways and
Means, is an old hand at the wheel and
is one of the pioneers among Congress-
men in the use of the rapid vehicle. He
early initiated his youngest son In the
mysteries Of riding. Unluckily his late
illness hns nreYanfad him from inininn

The Des Moines River Breaks the Levecs

Alexandria, Mo-, is under water.
The levees which protected the town

Moines River succumbed on Thursday
night, and as a result the town is a lake,
dotted here and there by houses in
which the water is standing from two to
six feet deep. The disaster was antici-
pated. All the prior day the Des Moines
was booming, the result of heavy rains
along its course through Iowa. The
advices from above showed that it would
reach high-water mark. Those residents
who had upper stories TO their buildings
moved their household goods there, and
extended the courtesies of storage to
those not similarly favored. When the
water broke it found tenantless floors
over which to splash.
The town was Venice. All commu.
nication was by boat. The waters OF
the Des Moines leave that river above
town, and, flowing through Alexandria,
join the Mississippi below. It will be
