De Wolf Hopper's Umbrella.

this thunderstorm one rainy day last
week of a haberdasher In Harlem who
guaranteed 1t to be gentle, good-natured
and entirely tractable.
When he purchased the umbrella. Mr..
Hopper noticed that II was equipped
with all modern improvements, in the
specific form OF n spring supposed to
open Il by the medium of a button in
the handle. This patent is common on
high-priced umbrellas nowadays. but the
comedian was suspicious OF ii as part

II suppose" he said to the gentle
manly young man behind the counter,
that I shant be able to open this after
tomorrow.
''Oh, you're wrong" replied the clerk.

And so events proved.
The very next evening Mr.. Hopper
went out to dine and hung his new UNI
brelia on a peg over the table. II re-
manned there until the cocktails were
served, when, suddenly and without
warning. it opened itself and fell to the
floor. En- route, II caught water de-
canter and one cocktail.
Mr.. Hopper picked up the umbrella
and struggled with 1t for few minutes,
at the end of which time he had not
succeeded In making il remain closed.
Accordingly. he sat on II throughout
the rest of the dinner The spirit of the
thing seemed to be crushed after that.

sure he would have no more trouble

He reckoned without his host. No
sooner had the couple go into n crowd

opened again with n loud report that
startled the conductor into ringing up
two extra fares.

Hopper blushed.
All the way from the car to the thea

a catch-as-catch-ca combat with the
Internal cloth-covered stick Reaching
the stage uoor. he was seized with an
inspiration which resulted In putting 4
cord around its top. The cord is still
there, but Mr.. Hopper does not dare
trust 1t. He has an inward conviction
that II ne ever takes the rain-shield into
the street again he will be compelled to
carry It wide open.
That is why everyone who wants a
nice. new umbrella. serviceable either as

warm friends. The politician and his

Mr.. Bryan was so touched with the

In his service. where he remained until
the outbreak of the Russian war. Then
he disappeared as mysteriously as he
