ference by the lawyers and represen-s
tatives of the General Paper company.

cular to the trade was put in evidence.
In this circular the General Paper COM
pany announced that after July 5, 1900,
it would handle the entire product Of;

I'm a rickety. jickcty old umbrell,
OF troubles I've seen few
Since Noah used me about the ark
When i was fresh and new.
MY frame is weary, my rios are sore,
My rigging is all askew.
But though my moral tone Is Jared,
This tale that l tell Is true.
I drifted one day to an office room.
From rubbish heap below,
And the man who brought me. left me
to stand
With other umbrellas in a row.
From that time forth l laid around,
The butt of kicks and teerS,
For the rest in the row were shown re-

Until one day gentleman
Unto that office came,
And hung on hook dainty umbreu
or slender, graceful frame.
AS he hung 1t there. l heard him say,
Now stay there on your life.
For there'll be the very deuce to pay,
Fl don't get you back to my wife,
But that elegant gent a forgettery had,
OF a patent, duplex brand,
And when he forth from that Office hied,
There was no umbrell in his hand.
But late that day a robber came
Whose face was fierce and red.
And he swiped the lady's umbrell n
And hung me up instead.

TALE OF THE OLD UMBRELL
Being the Truthful Narrative of Out
cast from All That Is Bright in Life

Alas, next day, the gentleman,
To the Office not came he
But in his place vision appeared,
a blooming buXom she;
With hair of lovely purple tint,
And soulful, grass-green eyes.
And as she reached her hand for me,
She lurched in wild surprise.
And to her face the expression came
OF a man who says, who the -
Has left this wheezy skeleton.
In place Of my new umbrella"
But being a lady. she only sighed,
A painful. pale blue sigh
And bright pink tears Suffused her cheek,
From out her grass green eye.
And she bit her trembling lilac lips,
With her teeth so pearly blue.
And with a wrathful sweep OF her silken
hose.
She vanished from my view:
But my twisted ribs were wrung with
shame,
The sharpest I'd ever known.
And l turned my face to the wall AID
eurdlins, ox-plood sroan.
Alas, my fate! Would I were once
Beneath the daisied sod,
While Ger my final trusting place,
The fiowerets wild might nod.
That far from haunts of soothing man.
In the mud Of Natures breast,
I could stretch my weary ribs at last,
And find eternal rest.
