UMBRELLA IN YOUR POCKET
Twenty-six Inch Screen Invented by
Minneapolis Man Easily Folded
s.- Up and Carried.

A 26 inch umbrel la that will fold up
and go in an inside pocket without
crowding has been invented and con-
structed by a Minneapolis man. This
seems almost inciedible. The ham
die and all the ribs consist of fine steel
tubes, IN sections, which telescope one
inside the other. The covering is of
silk, which takes up but little room.
The wooden handle of the umbrella is
hollow and receives all the rest of the
.telescoping umbrella rod when shut
up. A small lightEcase is provided to
contain the whole, which, as stated.
goes easily into the pocket. If such
a device can be made and sold for
reasonable price there is little doubt
that the inventor will make a fortune.

with the top of the can. The cutter is
then regulated on the toothed bar so
that it will cut either the top of the
can or the side. With a firm pull on
the handle the tin can be easily sew
cred. It will be noticed that there are
practically two cutters, one for cutting
the top of the can and another for
cutting the side of the can. This will
be found convenient when it is de-
sired to remove the contents without
disarranging them.

The foregoing is from the Chicago

the sentiment of Mrs. Young. But
THE APPEAL is not so sure that
Mrs. Young has said the sensible

The Appeal., 1910-10-01

Democratic journalists are exulting
over the Maine election as a tidal
wave betokening a restoration of their
party to complete control of the ma
ton, but the facts do not, by far,
warrant any such conclusion. The
election turned almost entirely upon
local issues, prohibition and the gov
ernor's power to send officers into
any part of the state to enforce the
law. The election does not prove
that Maine is "hell bent for Demo-
cratic misrule.
The Appeal., 1910-10-01

The nomination of Caleb Powers to
Congress from a Kentucky district is
a striking example of the whirligig
of time bringing it's revenges, for the
nomination is equivalent to an elec-
tion in district having a Republican
majority of $4,000. Few persons ever
believed that Powers had anything
to do with the murder of Goebel, as
is proved by the nomination. He is
a good lawyer and a fine speaker and
will make valuable member of the
House.

WHY HE HURRIED AWAY

A quiet, bashful sort of a young
fellow was making call on Capitol
Hill girl one evening not so very long
ago, when her father came into the
parlor with his watch in his hand. 1t
was about $50 o'clock At the mo-
ment the young man was standing on
a chair, Strengthening a ~icture over
the piano. The girl had asked him to
fix it, As he turned, the old gentle
man, a gruff, stout fellow, said:
Young man, do you know what time
it is?"
The bashful youth got off the chair
nervously. Yes, sir" he replied. Il
was just going"
He went into the hall without any
delay and took his hat and coat. The
girls father followed him. AS the caller
reached for the doorknob the old
gentleman again asked him If he knew
what time it was.
Yes. sir" was the youths reply.
Good might" And he left without
waiting to put on his coat.
After the door had closed the old
gentleman turned to the girl
"What's the matter with that fel-
low?" he asked. my watch ran down
this afternoon, and 1 wanted him to
tell me the time so that l could set
it."-Denver Post.

TREAT FOR WOMEN
The Beautiful Fashion Pictures Shown in
This issue of The Herald Magazine Are
the First Instalment of This Ex-
ceilent Feature

IN HE readers of The Herald Sunday
magazine have in store for them
- each week a. series of a ticles on
fashions fads and fancies, ac, ompanied
by the most artistically posed Ihoto
graphs that have ever been used to IL
lustrate the creations of the master
minds who cater to the demands of
fastidious femininity.
The magazine of next week will show
some of the smart walking gowns OF
true Partisan distinction that have
been fashioned from the simple fabrics
of linen, gingham or batiste.
A creation from one of the great
houses on the Rue de la Paix will show
the beautiful lines of the long Crusader
tunic developed in a simple gingham
of soft dove gray, dash of black and
touches of snow white, giving an air
Enthusiastically French in effect.
A photograph of a smart walking
dress in black and white gingham
shows the possibilities of the Russian
blouse when designed by an artist, and
the hat that shows two pink roses amid
its cream and black is as chic as is the
gown.
A linen costume of the golden brown
shade made famous by Rostands fam
Gus play, "The Chanticleer" is repro
duced in another photograph, showing
skirt, tunic and upper bodice of mod
ish cut.
A rose pink linen of a jaunty, youth
full cut is designed for afternoon wear,
and is as delightful in its graceful lines
as in it's beautiful combination of ma
terials, introducing softest batiste and
smart strappings of black linen, and
hat of the same soft rose pink COM
pletes the picture.
One of the most graceful of the gowns
shown is the bordered linen in triple
skirt effect, so charming for a slender
figure. The linen of natural ton color
is most effective with its embroidery
of white, and here again is a combina-
tion of softest lawn and ecru net with
the severity of linen giving an effect
that is decidedly smart.
Another street gown shows the belted
bodice and tunic ouerskirt so popular
in Paris. Here we find combination
of stone blue silk with cotton poplin,
and soutache embroidery of the same
shade giving it's distinctive touch, and
softest white batiste again adding to
its feminine daintiness.
In all these gowns is to be found
combination of color and material that
are unusual as they are beautiful, and
the lines of the costumes. so we'll
shown in the Illustrations, prove them
to be works of art.

The annual Kolb and Dill season In
Los Angeles begins at the Majestic the
ater this evening. when "The Rich Mr..
Hoggenheimer" will be seen for the
first time in Los Angeles. This year
the noted Teutonic comedians are de-
parting from the round of burlesque
which has made them favorites, and,
for the sake of variety, are developing
new and original lines of comedy. The
piece in which they open their engage
ment has never been produced outside
of New York and San Francisco, and
has had big runs in both cities. The
prima donna this season is Miss Lillian
Berri, an actress of striking presence,
and possessing a splendid voice. Dainty
Olga Stech is the soubrette. Behind
these principals there is the usual ar
ray of comedians, singers and bigger
chorus than Kolb and Dill ever have
brought south with them before.

edly out of the window. She had one
hand in her muff. The young man was
practical, and, seeing an opening, entered
it; that is, he put his hand in at the other
end of the muff.
After while the young woman awoke
to the situation, and turning her head she
remarked: al might scream. might

What Came of q Nickname.

IncongruouS nicknameS may lead those
who bear them into strange mishaps. In
Family Names and Their Story" the
Rev. S. Barring Gould tells what befell a
girl whose intimate friends and family
called her "Jack Spratt." One winter,
when living in German town with her
father, Colonel Smith, the man she was
engaged to sent her letter which he
thoughtlessly addressed to "Miss Jack
Spratt." Two days later messenger
arrived at Colonel Smiths door with
summons to attend at the poSt-office the
next morning between eight O'Clock and
noon.
He obeyed, and found that the summons
concerned the letter.
Who was Jack Spratt? How long had
he been an inmate of the colonel'S house?
No intimation OF such a person had been
sent to the police, and according to law,
no stranger could reside for over three
days in the town without legitimation by
the police.
The colonel, in broken German, ex-
planned that his daughter was Familiarity
known as Jack Spratt.
He was requested to take seat while
the police were communicated with. Hall
an hour later the head of the police arriv-
ed, and the matter, was discussed between
him and the postmaster.
The chief of police then, turning to the
colonel, stated that he had the paper Of
legitimation of Miss Isabel Smith, but not
OF Jack Spratt.
In vain did Colonel Smith reiterate his
statement that this was joke. German
officials do not comprehend jokes, and it
was finally concluded the letter must be
opened to ascertain to whom it actually
was addressed.
The letter was opened. 1t began {:
"My dear Jack. You are regular rip

When this was read the face OF the Oh
erpolizei became grave.

claimed. eve have at last obtained a
clue to the discovery OF the criminal who
a few years ago committed such atroclous
acts in London, and who has been the
author of similar cases recently in Berlin"
The colonel explained that Grippe"
was term of admiration and endearmen1
much affected by lovers and young ladies'.
Doubtless no one had ever dreamed
that little girl who was nicknamed Jack
Spratt because she could eat no fat would
ever, on account OF the nickname, be the
cause of so grave disturbance in Ger
man officialdom.
