WHEN UMBRELLAS WE'RE NEW.
Joe" Chamberlain Tells Good Story
on Green Farmer.

Joseph Chamberlain, in one OF his
recent tariff reform speeches, told a
new umbrella story. Mr.. Chamberlain
wished to point out that ignorance
was to blame for much of the censure
that had been attached to his tariff
reform scheme. He said:
Why, my friends, many OF my op.
ponents are as ignorant Of my proposh
tion as was a certain farmer, many
years ago, OF the umbrella.
This farmer had made a journey OF
some twenty miles on foot to small
town. AS he was about to set of for
home again a hard rain came up, and
his host loaned him an umbrella
a novelty at the time-opening it him
self so as to save his friend all possible
trouble.
"A week later the farmer took the
umbrella back. The weather was
bright and fine, but he held the instru'
ment open over his head.
This contrivance,' he grumbled, is
more trouble than it's worth. There
wasn't a doorway in the village |

tether it all the week in a field

ton 10 quite an extent, cndeavoring to
find out the possible effect upon the
whip business. Some thought few
years ago that the bicycle was respon-
Sible in a measure for the dull times in
the whip business, and It may have
had some effect.
At that time there was less demand
for livery teams than previously. and
there was consequently little use for
whips The bicycle is not 50 much in
demand as in former years but the au.
tomobile and electric ears are taking
its place. one would suppose the rapid
construction of electric roads all over
the country would tend TO injure the
whip trade. but in spite of automobiles
and electric cars, the output of whips
continues year after year. one of the
local whip men said recently that he
had no fear of bicycles, automobiles or
electric cars running the whip business
