UNCLE SIS UMBRELLA.
BY JOHN RIM.

tTallSin' about parachutes," said OLE
Ben Marston, reminds me of curious
Thing at happened up on the mount
ing yender, bout so years ago" Ben
tipped back his chair, put his feet high
er on the stove, and clasped his hands
comfortably over the region of his
stomach.
1t was in the village store at Cardiff,
in New Hampshire, the night after the
county fair at Perryville, ten miles
away, where there had been q balloon
ascension. A woman had leaped from
the balloon with parachute, and had
reached the ground safely. This had
furnished subject of conversation to
the usual group of loafers in the store.
After Ben has assumed his favorite
attitude for storytelling he thought 1t
necessary to asseverate that the forth
coming tale was an 'actooal fact"
AN if we don't believe it," said he,
bringing his feet down with thump,
Eye can jest come up the mounting with
me in the mornin', an I'll show W the
very spot where it happened"
Then he went on with the narrative.
] shall not attempt to report his talk,
which might become wearisome, but
will tell the story in my own words.
Silas Hopkins, who was SO much
loved that he was familiarity called
Uncle Silas, was so years ago famous
lay preacher in the White mountain
region. He made frequent missionary
journeys, holding services here and
there, comforting the sick, and doing
great good. He suffered much hard
ship in travelling on foot through the
half-settled, rugged regions about the
Franconia range; but he bore it with
admirable patience, keeping his simple,
sunny nature unchanged to the end.
Whenever he appeared in a village
dozen doors offered him hospitable vel
come; and in the evening he would al
ways find the Westinghouse or the
schoolhouse well filed to hear him
preach.
Almost as well known as Uncle Silas
was the green umbrella he always car
ried. 1t was large and strongly made,
with a stout hickory handle, hand
wrought ribs, and an iron point to
make it serviceable in mountain-climb-
ing. This, with his Bible, and small
bundle that he carried easily over his
constituted his worldly prop
erty. He seldom had any money at all;
and if he possessed any it was freely |
shared with the needy,
Uncle Silas priced his green umbrella |
highly. 1t was like the Scriptural
promise, "a covert from the tempest"
4 shelter from sun and rain. He had /
slept many night on the mountains
With no other shelter, and never felt
Iuite without 'habitation to dwell
N" so long as he could prop it against
great rock and sleep under its protec-
Jon.
Many a treacherous cur had he
-outed by a sound whack of the umbrel-
ais hickory handle Once, in lonely
lace, he had come unexpectedly upon
bear and two cubs. The dam, savage
or her young, growled frightfully and
,sshed upon him. But vigorous -four
sh of the green umbrella, which for
unately few open in the most alarm
ng way, took all the courage out of her,
nd sent her whimpering away with
he cubs.
One winter, 'jest 50 year ago. ac-
ording to Ben Marston, there was a
anfher scare in Cardiff, real SCARE

Three deer jumped on the railway
track few hundred yards or so ahead
of a locomotive near Trout Lake, Mich,
few days ago, and remained staring in
surprise at the headlight until they
were struck by the pilot and tossed
from the track. Instances of single
deer being thus attracted by locomo-
tive headlight and falling victim to
its curiosity are not uncommon in
Michigan, Maine, and other regions
where deer abound; but for a trio of ths
animals TO be hypnofizsd in this way al
one time is a n.relty.
