Keep Your Hands On Your Umbrella

Dr. Chas. H. Vick reports that his umbrella was taken from the postoffice while he stopped only momentarily to read a letter. He had leaned it up in a corner and was astonished a moment later to find it not there. The public con science does not seem to be very high in the matter of umbrellas and some people seem to regard the stealing of one as lightly as others do the defrauding of a railroad company out of its pay for a ride. Both are, however, distinctly dis - honest, and the Dr. is righteously indignant because his Was stolen, virtually from right under his nose.
