STORY

Joseph Chamberlain. in one of his recent
tariff reform speeches, told n new umbrel-
la 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 oppo-
nents are as ignorant of my proposition as
was a certain farmer, many years ago. of
the umbrella.
This farmer had made a journey of some
twenty miles on foot to a small town. As
he was about TO set off for home again a
hard rain came up. and his host loaned
him an umbrella-a novelty at the time
opening 1t himself 50 as to save his friend
all possible trouble.
"A week later the farmer took the UNI
brella back. The weather was bright and
fine. but he held the instrument open. over
his head.
This contrivance.' he grumbled. is
more trouble than it's worth. There
wasn't a door in the village l could get 1t
through. and l had to tether it all the
week in a field"
