GOOD CHANCE FOR INVENTORS.
Fortune Waiting for Man Who Can
Perfect the Umbrella.

"How rich I'd be-" said one UNI
brella salesman to another, IF / had
patented the umbrella" You might
as well talk of a patent on cooking"
said his friend. Umbrellas appear
to have existed always. Indeed, wher-
ever excavations have been made-at
Babylon, Nineveh, Nippur-traces of
the umbrella have been found. The
article is coeval with mankind. The
English didn't begin to use it until
100. Shakespeare with all his genius
had no umbrella to protect him from
the rain. What you might do would
be to patent some new sort of UNI
brella-some rain shield built on bet
ter lines. We have proof that the
umbrella has existed for 10000 years
and yet in all that time 1t has not
one been improved. To-day, as 1t
did two or three hundred years ago,
it turns inside out with a strong gust
of wind and 1t only protects the head
and shoulders from the rain. Change
all that. l want an umbrella that is
a complete rain shield. Then you will
be q millionaire in six months"

SOUGHT AID FROM THE GODS.
Japanese Villagers United In cursing
Robber to Death.

This bit of local color is from the
Japan Times: "At Shinokubo, a small
village in Soshu, consisting Of only
70 houses, several cases of robbery
have lately occurred to the great
alarm of the villagers. A diligent
search instituted by them for the Of
fender proved al utter failure. The
community consequently held a mass
meeting and unanimously agreed upon
cursing the robber to death. A vir-
tuous priest of the locality was &C
cordingly applied to for the purpose.
He, however, declined to curse the
robber to death, an act too cruel for
a holy man like him to resort to, but
promised that he would paralyze the
robber by his powerful prayers, so as
to disable him and lead him to repent
ance. Thus the priest commenced his
incantations. But, behold, the robber
continued his subtle operations to the
Indignation Of the entire community.
The priest has been condemned as a
worthless fellow, and the villagers
have taken upon themselves the task
of repairing every day to the village
temple by twos and threes to offer
horrible prayers by which the robber
is doomed to an early and fearful
DEATH"

Kenneth is five years old and at

the following story will prove. He
went with his auntie to be fitted to
a new pair of shoes. 1t was late in
the afternoon, and as they waited for
the salesman Kenneth noticed that
the street lamps were being lighted
outside. why, Aunt Emily" he ex-
claimed, sis 1t dark?" ooh, not very"
she replied. "Oh, I see," said Ken
meth, with a comprehensive nod.
Luke" What did you say?" asked
Aunt Emily. why Luke repeated
Kenneth, surprised that she had not
understood. What do you mean by
that?" inquired his aunt, still mysti-
fled. "Why, you know what Luke
means. It's a middling, lukewarm,

MAN THAT WOMEN LIKE BEST.
Writer Asserts That There Can Be No
Special Brand.

In the Imagination of every woman
q creature exists whom she fancies
would be unto her a god If she met
him; in the imagination Of every
man there is a woman like nobody
on earth, in heaven above, or in the
waters under the earth. But no
woman ever shows favor to any par
ticular type of man If woman really
liked this or that specimen Of mascu-
line humanity above all others, should
we eve see the strangely assorted
marriages that we do? Individually
all women have their ideals, but speak
ing generally, there is no special
brand of man that can be said to ap-
peal to woman. 1t is sheer nonsense
to say definitely that athletes, or
courtiers, or tame cats, or dreamers
are respectively most pleasing to
women. But even If it could be said
with authority this or that kind Of
man is what every woman likes, is 1t
to be supposed for a moment that
every male creature would proceed to
model himself on the approved pat
tern? 1t would be a great pity if such
a state of things could be brought
about. Women do not want a stereo-
typed mold for each of the sexes, and
women would lose grand opportunities
for laughter If all men were gal
liant, well-mannered, strong and mas
terful, or were amiable domestic pets.
To be able to poke fun at this or that
type is part of the joke of life-to a
woman.-Chicago American.

Where Is the Lake Of Constance

The Lake Of Constance, or Boden
See, over which Count Zeppelin has
been maneuyering In his airship,
might have to become a forbidden
region for airships If the proposal to
prohibit them from flying over foreign
territory yer internationally accept
ed. For the lake is bordered by Swift
zerland, Austria and three German
States-Bavaria, Wurtemberg and
Baden, and has itself been neutralized.
1t is n of the greatest surprises
in political geography that awaits the
tourist to discover that Constance, al
though on the southern side of the
water, is not in Switzerland, but in
Baden, although. after the repeated
shifts into Germany from Switzerland
and into Switzerland from Germany
on the train journey from Bale, he is
prepared for anything. - London

While walking near a pond in the
woods, Bullie Ham, who can tell the
presence of an alligator by the smell
OF the c%ritter, pulled off his coat and
took a header under the water. While
at the bottom of the pond Bullie's leg
arose to the surface and waved to the
men near the shore. The warning was
needed by the men catching Bullie's

Bullie to the surface, and with Bullie
came an alligator that measured some
four feet in neutrality-suspicious.

WASHINGTON LETTER
MATTERS OF GENERAL INTER-
RsT FROM TIE CAPITAL

The long expected announce
mont of Governor Hughes has
been made and 10 was the wonder
OF the hour-and little longer.
OF course the fact that the Gov
ernor signifies a Willingness to
enter the Presidential ace affords
encouragement to those Republic
can politicians who are opposed
to President Roosevelt and his
policies but the Governor has
postponed his announcement 40
long, and the Taft movement has
become so widespread that not
q single Senator and hardly a
Representative could be found,
who was willing to be quoted as in
favor Of Hughes for President.
There was criticism of the manage
ment of the Taft boom, for a time
bat it was nothing to the errors OF
the Hughes managers. For in
stance, it is regarded here as the
height of folly to have permitted
Ex-Governor, Frank Black to
come out for Hughes simultane-
ou,ly with the Governors own
announcement. Ex-Gov. Black
has attacked Theodore Roosevelt
in Vitriolic terms, first because he
stood for labor and an employers
liability law and second because
he had disrupted business by his
violent attacks on the trusts
Mr.. Blacks announcement is re-
garded as putting the stamp OF
auti-Rooscveltism indelibly on
the Hughes boom. Then, too, 1t
is most unfortunate for the Gov
that Ex-Governor Odell
should have come out for him
Ever since K. H. Hartman testi-
fed in court that "Ben" Odell was
s:his man., Mr.. Odell has been a
thoroughly d~iscredited politician
in his own state and his support
would be almost enough to ruin
any, even a healthy boom. 1t il
probable that it was the support
Of Black and Odell more than any
other one thing which made the
New York members of Congress
afraid to cast in their lot with
Hughes, and that was misfor'
tune which Mr.. Hughes and his
friends should have forseen anc
prevented by prevailing upor
Black and Odell. TO remain silent,
Even the Governors letter is re.
garded as showing by it's innuen'
do, his opposition to the President
