A UNIQUE HANDLE.
Why the Owner Is Proud Of the
Crook.

Why the Owner Is Proud Of the
Crook
\ guest At one OF the principal
hotels yesterday exhibited curious
and beautiful umbrella handle to a
party of admring friends. Ii was a
crook Of silver maple wood hearing
the natural bank, and its ornament
consisted OF three heavy gold lands
or rings, encrcllnS the shaft at equal
distances. What made IL remarEal lie
was the self-eeldent fact that the
bands had been put on when the
branch from which the handle was
made was part of a living tree and
much smaller I'm diameter The wool
had grown through and around the
combining metal, and buleed ont nj
either side, producing an odd and
striking effect.
"It took me four years 10 get the
material ready for this unmbella
handle" said the proud owner. Il
live in the suburbs of St Louis, and
have several fine maple trees ON the
premises. In 1893 the idea occurred
TO me, and had Il jeweler make HE
these three rings, which | slipped over
n small branch and tied mt the proper
distance with cords. l had to select
n very dminutive branch, because
otherwise the twigs would have pre-
vented the rings from going on, and |
picked out one pretty high up SO it
would be out of the way of pilferers.
Then | waited patiently for nature 10
clinch the bands by process of growth.
| said nothing about the experiment.
and the family wondered why in the
world l climbed that tree SO often. /
am travelling man, and whenever |
returned from the road l would lose
no time in taking a look at my pros
pective umbrella handle. 1t was slow
work, however, ana the fall of 1897
had rolled around before | finally cut
the branch. Then l turned 1t over to
an expert, who kept 1t ten months
longer, seasoning and polishing it md
bending the upper end of the crook.
which was done by process OF
steaming. The result is what you see
! am convinced 1t is the only thing Of
Its kind in the world, and take good
care to keep it away from umbrella
