breI1a in his hand, sat side by side. After
a few minutes one of them said:

umbrella you are carrying"
81 was thinking the same about yours"
was the reply.
IF my memory serves me right, left
that umbrella in an Office Griswold
street. about year ago."
Don't doubt it in the least. Just about
a year ago I was in an office on Griswold
street and 1t began to rain. This umbrella
stood there in corner, and after a little
maneuvering I managed to steal it. A
week previous to that 1 was making some
purchases in a store on Woodward avenue.
When I started to go out found that some
one had stolen my umbrella. think you
are the man..
81 know l am" replied the other yes,
I was in a store on Woodward avenue
about a year ago. 1t was raining, and l
had no umbrella. I saw you stand yours
up against the counter and walk away and
I gobbled it. Shall we exchange or let
things go as they are?'
I'm satisfied"
"Som l."
'Then we viii continue to believe that
honesty is the best policy. 1 get out here

was warmly advocated by Comrade Thomp-
son in brief but effective speech. In
eloquent and burning words he adverted
to the fact that we were now a united and
happy people ard that everywhere all
over the Union, both north and south, had
been erected memorial tablets to mark
the resting places of the blue and the
gray who had died in the mighty struggle
for what each considered right, and that
1t was but just and proper that the resting
place of the unknown confederates who
had yielded up their lives in the southern
cause almost under the shadow of the Cap
itol, where now floats the emblem of a
reunited country. should be graced by a
monument that would tell their deeds of
Valor 10 generations yet unborn The words
