"Well.,1 don't mind telling you. It's atl on account or uniDreiias." v "Can't see the connection," rejoined the friend to whom he was talking. "Didn't suppose you could. But you will "when' I have explained. You lose an umbrella every on re in awhile, don't you? Put It down somewhere and walk off and leave it?" "Yes; V have had that happen to me frequently." "Well, 1 used to, but not since I took to carrying a cane. An acquaintance In Chicago put me on to the scheme. 'Get a eane of some kind.' he said to me one day, 'and carry It every day and every night that it doesn't rain. By that means you become bo accus tomed to having something In your hand you are lost without it. Then when a rainy day or eveninar comes and you are coniDelled to carry an um brella about with you the benefit comes In. Say you have gone into a restau rant and when you coine out the rain has stooped. You walk out int6 the street without your umbrella. Presto! After you have taken perhaps a dozen steps you miss something. Your cane carrying hand Is minus the burden It usually bears. Back go your thoughts to your umbrella and back go your steps to get It.
