Look for the Umbrellas.

- Going up the steps of an “L” station an elderly gentleman jerked an umbrella from under the arm of a man who preceded him. “Look here, young man,” said the angry gentleman, “do yon know that you render yoursllf liable to a suit for damages by carrying your umbrella in that way? You endanger the eyes of every person who follows you, and you thus lay yourself open to a charge of carelessness, and should you injure any one, you could be mulcted in a round sum. Better be a dude and suck the head of your cane or umbrella than threaten people in this criminal way.” It was a homely lecture, but pertinent, and for the benefit of all such careless people I give it space. —The Epoch.
