A Chapter on Umbrellas

A CQdpI6J on DT6lldS.
AS the time of the year approach
es when we begin to look up our
umbrellas, few hints in reference
thereto may not be amiss. A per
son with a few years experience
will notice great many pecullari-
ties about umbrellas and the longer
he studies the less he is liable to
know about them. L am that way
about good many things, only ]
scarcely ever admit it, and neither do
other folks. Umbrellas are like
yellow dogs; they belong to who
ever comes first and when not
needed are even more useless. An
umbrella is not ornamental nor pref
| ty. 1t is useful or nothing and the
more expensive it is the more liable
it will be to try to turn itself wrong
side out and expose it's gizzard to an
unfeeling and relentless world.
Among numberless other eccen-
tricities you will find upon close OBJ
servation that umbrellas have the
most delightful habit of being at the
wrong end of the route. If it rains
when you are down town, you may
depend upon your umbrella being
at home, and if it should happen to
be at home when a shower comes
up, you may swear that your UNI
brella is at the office. And unless
you are better than most people you
DO swear. That is, you do when
you are out of hearing of your fam
lily. I have also noticed that it new
yer rains when you carry your
umbrella with you.
The weather man must have a
good deal of fun watching the folks
start out on bright morning when
the sky looks as dry as a sermon on
church creeds, and then when they
are half way at their journeys end
turn on a rip-snorting rain-storm.
The only way TO be safe is to have
two umbrellas, one for each end of
your daily trip and then you will
discover that you have very oppor-
timely left both at one end.
Umbrellas>/are like cats. They
are privileged property, and all col
ors. They make no selection of their
society, but associate with anyone.
An umbrella gets just as much en-
joyment out of cutting up capers
with a decrepit old woman as with
John L. Sullivan and it would just

Milwaukee, Sept. 4-The state Dem
ocratic convention was called to or
der yesterday at noon. After listening
to the address of Temporary Chairman
Joseph e. Davies, of WATERFOWL, the
committees on permanent Organiza-
ton, resolutions and credentials were
announced and an adjournment was
taken until p. NJ. Upon reaSsembling
Thomas /. Kearney, of Racine, was
chosen for permanent chairman and
made an address.
At the conclusion of his speech the
convention was notified that the COM
mittee on resolutions would not be
ready to report until p. ~, whereup-
on a cry went up for former United
States Senator William E. Villas for a
speech.
Villas took the rOstrum and talked
few minutes, thanking the convention
for it's kindly greeting. He spoke Of
Democracy as the party of the people,
and the only party which could right
the many wrongs inflicted upon hui
mainly. He denounced trusts, criti-
cised the national administration and
counseled the Democracy of Wisconsin
to set an example which could be fol-
lowed by the nation at large. The con-
vention then, at $780, took recess I'M
til Z o'clock.
The convention recOnvened at 7:45
p. ~, and Mayor Williams. Of Ash
land, presented the resolutions, which
were adopted. They first deplore the
untimely death of President Mckinley
and express gratitude at the escape OF
President Roosevelt from death in an
accident near LenOx Mass, yester-
day. The platform then denOunces the
Republican party, state and national,
the first part of the document being
devoted to charges against the methods
of the Republicans in state politics:
the Stevens primary election bill is
denounced; double taxation is opposed,
while uniform taxation is approved;
the parochial school is welcomed.
Then national questions are taken up
and the tariff is denounced, as the
originator and supporter of trusts,
which are also denounced, and the
promise made that the Democracy will
prosecute them to the limit of the law.
The platform is almost wholly de-
voted to state matters and there is no
mention of the silver question.
Mayor David S Rose, of Milwaukee,
was then nominated for governor on
the first informal ballot which was
made formal by unanimous vote.
John w. Wattawa Of Kewaunee, was
the unanimous choice for lieutenant
governor This was the last business
done before adjournment last night,
leaving the rest of the ticket to be
named today The result of the in
formal ballot was as follows: Rose,
384; B. w. Jones, 81; Peck, SO; Ander-
son, u; Brown 81; ]. f. Jones, II.

There is an umbrella etiquette, but
it is not always observed. When
your neighbors carry off your UNI

and if he jabs it into your short ribs,
that is q sign that you're good man
and will not swear. If a kind of
person allows the umbrella juice to
run down your back, that is good
sign that he thinks there is more
room for it there than anywhere.

umbrella out of goat skin and it be-

body ever stole it. Nobody could
steal it very well unless Rob. had
himself. His man Friday had no use
for one as his clothes weren't injured
by rains. Charles Lambs umbrella
became famous because of his alb

minded that whenever he came
home at night he would put the UNI
brella to bed while he stood behind
the door to dry.

STATE TICKET COMPLETED
Wisconsin Democrats Smss!, States and

Wisconsin democrats smash SlSCcS anu
Disappoint Fixers.
Milwaukee, Sept. 5.-The Wisconsin
Democratic state convention concluded
it's labors at a late hour yesterday.
Following is the complete list of NOM
nations: Governor, David S. Rose.
Milwaukee; lieutenant governor, John
w. WattaWa, of KeWaukee; secretary
of state, Louie A. E4ange, of Fond du
Lac; state treasurer, Ed T.. Luckow,
of BarabOO; attorney general, Olaf r.
Skaar, of Lacrosse; superintendent Of
public instruction, Karl A. Mathie, of
WauSau; railroad commissioner. Viii
liam A. Redner, of Ashland; insurance
commissioner, William Ferber, of New
London.
The convention sma shed many of
the states which had been prepared
early in the day, and still later in con-
ference during noon hour. One of the
sensations of the day was an attempt
to induce Wattawa to withdraw from
the ticket because of certain rumors
concerning BIN. He refused absolutely
to entertain the proposition, and the
cOnferreeS then set about to fix up a
slate for the balance of the ticket
which to their minds would be a win
ner. In this they were far from being
successful.
Another sensation was the turning
down OF a resolution just before the
convention adjourned indorsing ''the
national plaLlorm" without saying any,
thing as to what national platform.
