UMBRELLA REMARKS.

There Is one umbrella In a certain
mans collection-a kind of an um-
brelln which is all right except In
rain. 1t makes fairly good walking
stick to frighfen on the rain. but when
II is put up to protect you from the
drops from the clouds it absorbs
rather than sheds. 1t enjoys holding
water and increasing Its weight. Some
one skillful in clothmaking may be
able 10 explain this peculiarity. 1t In
a better umbrella than the kind which
let's the water through. 1t may have
been made for those who walk next
to the person who is carrying 1t as II
docs rot drip at the edges. Those
wbo look for good Qualities find them
where others see nothing encourag-
ing. Some people could not be blue
over anything-but stop-if that is
true then some people cannot be
bright over any thing, and | do not
want 10 believe that. That umbrella
has to remain as it is, but you or
can change every hour. as we are the
switchmen OF our own qualities and
dispositions. When we live like
tree we remain as we were started
and happen to grow. or II we exist
like an umbrella we exist as we are
or happen to wear out or get lost. but
we do not have to live like tree or
exist like an umbrella, We can grow
into better mental condition every day
as long as we live and we can influ-
ence our environments to mutual bone-
fit. There IL always Just above every
one the Eternal Parental Power ever
ready to lift up all who look up and
reach up.

age, a popular miner, near Carrville,' in
Trinity County, Saturday afternoon in
a quarrel over a trade. A few minutes
before he had threatened TO shoot Jim
Wright, a miner, because Wright at
first declined a proffered drink.
To escape certain lynching Lyle, who
has always been unpopular, was rushed
by officers 10 the Trinity County Jail
at WeaVerVille, where he is now either
insane or acting the part of a maniac.
Savage, the man killed, and James
Ursher were travelling in a buggy be-
hind two horses over the road from
Trinity Center to Carrville when they
met Lyle on foot. This was a short
distance from where Lyle had threat
ened to shoot Wright for declining. the
drink of whisky offered from Lyles

Lyle carried roll of blankets on his
back and a shotgun on his shoulder
A trade was struck in which Savage
was to give a watch and a small sum

borrow the money for Savage. When
Ursher returned Lyle was in the act
of raising his shotgun to his shoulder,
He fired, sending charge of large
shot through Savage's body and caus-

passed on. He was captured two hours
