About Umbrellas.

eff ever there was proof of the saying,
Its an ill wind that blows nobody good

goods man.
standing here at my door, I'm sure |
saw twenty umbrellas wrecked. The wind
came in gusts and caught the umbrella
in front, behind sideways, everyway in
fact, and the result was 1t went inside
out
when an umbrella is blown inside out
there is only one way to get it back In
place again, and that is turn 1t to the
wind. Most people seek shelter and try to
crush it back, but it won't do, and after
several vain attempts to restore the orig
inal shape of the article it is thrown into
the street.
"Of all the useless articles In the world
a broken umbrella is the most so. There
is not enough of anything in it to make
it worth preserving. It's ribs are mere
straws, its cover worthless the handle is
generally imitation and the idea of a man
carrying such thing in his hand in the
rain is too absurd to consider.

StensIand's Sentence.

Unaccompanied by friend or attor-
ney, Paul o. Stensland stood up in
home court to plead guilty and to re.
ceive sentence. By a judge who had
long known him as a citizen and a
business man he was sentenced to
serve ten years in the penitentiary
Silence fell upon the court room. Tears
sprang unbldden to the eyes of the
ex-banker. His daughter chung to him,
going with him to Joliet.
He was sentenced within three hours
after his arrival in Chicago, and in
three hours more he had begun to
serve his term in the penitentiary.
Such speed in a criminal case in this
country became possible only through
the plea of guilty. Contested Ameri-
can criminal cases are proverbially
slow, the appeals that are possible in
them being almost interminable, even
though, as in Patricl's case, conviction
has been secured, and guilt is practi-
cally beyond doubt.
Stenslands plea of guilty is evidence
of his good sense in a trying situation.
His indeterminate sentence may be
served out in six or seven years, and
that is certainly getting off easily
when it is considered how many his
embezzlements had wronged-how
much suffering he had caused.
1t is indeed pity that all criminal
cases in this country can not be speed
lily determined in this country-not as
speedily as Stensland's case was set
tied, but as speedily as one trial can
be had and one verdict secured. The
day is coming when money and influ-
ence will not be effective in postpon-
ing sentence in criminal cases in this
country. AS business is now trans
acted in the courts there is one course
of procedure for the rich and another
and very different one for the poor.

MARK TWAIN AS A BEAR.

From Mark Twalns Autobiography in the
North American Review.
I stripped to the skin and began my
practice. 1 was full of ambition; 1 was
determined to make a hit; I was burn
ing to establish reputation as a bear
and get further engagements; so 1 threw
myself into my work with an abandon
that promised great things. I capered
back and forth from one end of the room
to the other on all fours. Sandy applaud
ing with enthusiasm I walked upright
and growled and snapped and snarled; I
stood on my head, I flung handsprings.
I danced lubberly dance with my paws
bent and my imaginary snout shifting
from side to side; l did everything a
bear could do and many things which
no bear could ever do and no bear with
any dignity would want to do. anyway;
and of course 1 never suspected that I
was making a spectacle of myself to any
one but Sandy. At last, standing on my
head. 1 paused in that attitude to take a
minutes rest. There was a moments
silence then Sandy spoke up with ex-
cited interest and said:
"Marse Sam. has you ever seen q
smoked herring?'
mo. What is that?'
Its fish,"
well, what of it? Anything peculiar
about it?"
Yes. sub. you bet you dey is Dey eats
em CUTS and air.
There was a smothered burst of feml-
nine smokers from behind the screen! All
the strength went out of me and I top
pied forward like an undermined tower
and brought the screen down with my
weight, burying the young ladies under 1t.
In their fright they discharged a couple
of piercing screams-and possibly others.
but I did not wait to count. l snatched
my clothes and fled to the dark hall be-
low, Sandy following. l was dressed in
half minute, and out the back way. I
swore Sandy to eternal silence, then we
went away and hid until the party was
over.
