UMBRELLA GRAFT
WORKED NICELY
OWNER OF THE LOST PARASOL
RECOVERED A DOZEN.
All His Acquaintance, Securing a
Shade at Nearly Every Place Where
the Occupant Had Conscience.
Baltimore Herald.

When Jones left his home in Ar
lington, Saturday morning, to come
down town it was raining, and because
he had lost his own umbrella the
week before, he was compelled to
borrow from his youngsters a cheap
affair which they used for school pur-
poses.
Don't you lose that, now" they
clamored after him reprOachfully,
whereat Jones smiled grinly and rash
ly declared that if he did he would
recompense them with a new unbrel-
la all around.
It was still raining when Jones
stepped out for lunch that afternoon,
but after an hour spent in chatting
with friends in number Of resorts
the sky had cleared and not until he
returned to his desk did he notice
that he had left his umbrella behind
somewhere. On such & threatening
night and in such public places as he
had been it seemed hopeless to make
inquiry for a staple in such general
demand, but spurred on by mental
picture Of his coming discontinue in
the presence of his youngsters, he des-
perately called up a place where he
had been slipping a glass of wine with
a friend.
This is Mr.. jones'" said he. Il
left an umbrella in your place about
an hourago-a cheap affair with a

lat later Yo Sa left eh IT sts eptH
in a corner of the room where you had
been sitting. Had a straight handle,
didn't it?''
Now, Jones knew that he hadn't
been sitting in the place but had drunk
his wine standing at the bar. More
over his umbrella had a curved
handle. But more rain was due, and
he didn't want to get caught in the
wet, and If necessary he could ex-
plain matters and make restitution
later. So he told the man at the other
brella to his office by a messenger.
Having done this, it occurred to
Jones that he might as well make
further search for his own parachute,
SO he called up the restaurant where
he had eaten.
yes, we have an umbrella answer

Spouse, "and We'll send it right up
In the elation over his success
brilliant idea hit Jones and he grew
waggish. On such a night wasn't 1T
probable that umbrellas had been left
by their owners in nearly all OF the
down town restaurants And Wouldn't
almost any of them fit the description
Of Jones' wooden-handled affair? The
game was worth trying anyhow.
SO he called up a score Of eating
houses where he was known as pat
ron. The net result Of his inquiry was
nine more umbrellas in all shades of
color and previous condition Of serv1-
tude, but every one Of them better
than his own. :.
tive evened UP the score Of years, =
was his grim remark to his better half
as he deposited the umbrellas in the
hallrack.

HOW NERVE ENERGY is WASTED.
AIndicnI Tall,

So many people needlessly and recklessy waste
their nerve energy. They drum the chair or the
desk with their fingers or tap the floor with their
toes. They hold their hands. They sit in
rockingchar and rock for very dear life. II
they go upstairs, they make the whole body do
the work that was intended only for the legs.
If they write or sew, they get down to 1t with
a vengeance and contract their brows and wrinkle
their foreheads and grind their teeth.
If they have an unusual task to do, they screw
and contract and comfort every muscle of the
body, making themselves tense and rigid all
over, when the work, perhaps, required but one
set of muscles or perhaps the mind only, as the
case may be.
Wasting nerve energy. Frittering 1t away.
Little things, to be sure. But little things
have a way of adding themselves up into big
things.
