The success was immediate and phenomenal, everybody wanted to insure his umbrella; the premium was fifty cents a year; the amount to be paid to persons returning lost um- hrellas was three dollars about the average price of an embrella a man doesn't like to loose, you know; agents turned in policies by the poelxetfuls the first week. hadn't any idea there were as many half-dollars in circulation as received at my office; second week they kept coming and I began to think of plans for great building on Wood ward avenue for the accommodation of the business to be known as the Um- brella Insurance building; third week t was still going; fourth week it rained; fifth week umbrellas began coming in; didn't know there were so many um- brellas In the world; sixth week it was worse and l began to investigate; watched the people who brought them in and got the three dollars; mostly peo- pie above suspicion, to look at; dieov- cred they had been stealing them; al- ways picked one out with our tao on it; didn't know there were so many people who thought it no sin to steal an umbrella; never thought of that when got up the company; wasn't an umbrella in the lot worth three dol- lars; didn't know so many people wore cheap umbrellas: something rotten in Denmark; just come up here from my office; string of people there reaching half way round the block, waiting to get in; there isn't enough money left in the fund to buy ferry ticket with; I've come here to see if you wouldn't lend me that amount; I'm not going back; put q notice in the paper that MraDungbat, the well-known president of the Umbrella Insurance company, having been suddenly called to China, left this morning; do l get tho price of ferry ticket2 Thanls;1 and he went out, leaving the city editor in q condi- tion of partial paralysis IN.

Dangers of Athletes.

"There is very great danger of an athlete dying of lung trouble if he ever ceases his sports,' said Prof. 4. c. Mathews. ''In athletic exercises large lungs are required, and they become inflated beyond their natural size. If the athlete ceases his practice and adopts anything approaching a seden- tary life the lungs, falling largely in- to disuse, easily decay, and the result is quick consumption. It is frequently the case that young men in college who are athletic leaders, after graduation go into stores, offices or counting rooms, and in a few years die of con sumption. Everyone is surprised, and 1t is said such a strong, healthy man when he left college. Who would have thought he would die with consump- ton? Must have been hereditary.' Asa matter of fact, he brought it upon himself by failing to keep up the prac- tices that expanded his lungs. Gin cinnati Enquirer

T have never known case where there were loud cries, wailing, and moaning that did not soon recover completely. One of the first patients I ever had was q young man who had met with an acci- dent. He died within an hour, and the grief of his young widow was most dis dressing to those present. It was with the greatest difficulty that we could restrain her from throwing herself upon his coffin in the grave, but in two months she was married again and seemed to be perfectly happy.

 the War.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 16.-Letters from nearly 200 Southern bankers, seat tered all tue way from Maryland to Texas, in regard to the crop prospects and business conditions in the South, are published in this weeks issue of the Manufacturers Record.

CHEAP ENGRAVINGS.
A Discovery by Winch Every Newspaper Can Illustrate Its Own Columns.
 We Have It.

Irwin H. Mills, of Carlisle. Pa. has discovered process for making newspaper engravings that comes within the neach of, and can be used by publishers of country dailies and Weekiies, and which engravings are equal for all practical purposes to the cuts made by the expensive methods in general use in the large offices.
 By Mr. Mills process anyone can go into any printing office, find there all the paraphernalia for doing the work and can quickly produce a cut four by six inches in size at an out lay of less than cents The process is purely mechanical one, requiring no special skill and but little prac- tice to reproduce any photograph or newspaper engraving.
 The method is simple, rapid and absolutely perfect; its points of ad- vantage being its cheapness, sim plicity, high relief, sharp lines and rapidity. A newspaper using this system can illustrate the news of the week at cost that is scarcely worth figuring.
 The GRAPHIC has obtained the for mula of this process from Miss Mae Walker, one of MT. Mills agents. Mr. Mills. the inventor of the system, is now at Hot Springs.

The steamer Eugene received orders to stop at Island B. and receive the first bale of cotton for Pine Bluff, but the boat reached that point in the night and after blowing several whistles was unable to arouse any one to inform the crew where the bale could be found Capt. Rowland had intended to hoist the bale on the hurricane roof all decorated with blue ribbons, and to announce the arrival of his boat at this city by the firing of cannon. The bale was raised by colored man named A. C. Hough and was consigned to Col. R. NJ. Knox.

 How Jersey Politician Was Finally
 Called.
 A certain very well-known New Jer- sey politician-an old man, whose fame extends far beyond the borders of his own state-is celebrated as a great buffer
 At Trenton they play quite lively game at times, and this old man was formerly one of the most repacious players there. Whenever he got par ticularly large hand he would reach down into his waistcoat, pull outa huge wallet, slam it down on the table, and cry:
 ''I raise that hundredp'
 As rule he scooped the pot.
 Several men who had seen him do this many times noticed that he rarely did 1t except when he was reasonably sure of winning. They began to won der what the big wallet contained, but none of them had nerve enough to call, as they knew the old man was a close player, who never bet unless he had something good.
 One day last winter 8 young legisla- tor from Newark was in the game The old man evidently had good hand, and it was rich jack pot. The young Newarker also had hand-a really good one-a full house, aces high. He sized up the old man and thought that flush or a small full was about his size.
 They raised each other for compara- lively small amounts several times. Then the old mans hand went down into his waistcoat and ont came the big wallet. Down it slammed on the table and the old man shouted:
 I raise you hundred
 z The young man from Newark 'slsun" his cards, looked at the old man a min ute, and then, reaching down, he took off long boot, looked at it carefully, threw it upon the table and said:
 ''I call. l guess there's more leather in my boot than in your wallet
 And so it turned out. The wallet was empty. The old man had succeeded in blufiing the entire crowd for months on an empty wallet. This time the pot went to Newark. Y. Journal.
