Umbrella Thief.

In the far west where human
habitations are widely scattered
and herds of horses, flocks of
sheep and punches of cattle Craze
on unfenced< public lands and
where the temptation to steal is
great, the penalty for theft of a
COW is extreme, for the reason
that ordinary punishment would
make the cattle business extra
hazardous. The cattle thief is
usually strung up and shot.
We have always believed that
the um bre1la thief was in class
to himself. He's worse than the
bicycle thief. Any sort of a
scamp can pickup your umbrella
and get away with it, and people
who will not steal anything else
in the world will steal UNI brellas.
They'll take it and walk off with
it and never think to return it, un-
til UNI brellas have got to be a
species Of com mon property.
A law requiring the deposit of
umb elias found with some Civ
en- party at some certain place,
and fixing penalty for any per-
son found in possession of an UNI
brella that he could mt prove the
ownership of, from whom
bought, and the price paid, and
providing for monthly auction
sales of ali unclaimed umbrellas
and parasols would not be a bad
law.
At least something ought to
be done to discourage the UNI
brella thieves, they are entirely
too numerous.
