SEEDS FRESH UTAH LAND PLASTER UMBRELLA, TWICE LOST, RECOVERED J. E. HEDGES REGRETS NOT HAV ING OPPORTUNITY TO AD VERTISE IN PAPER STORY WITH MORAL TOLD BY HIM Big Bundle of "Ralnticki" Almost Get Jersey Commuter In Trouble Circumstantial Evidence Given Blow "Just think of it," .aid J. E. Hedge., school director, water commissioner, former state senator and prominent lawyer, "I lost my umbrella twice last week and recovered It both times. It is amazing. An umbrella lost us ually l a. lost as a soul gone beyond Purgatory. But not ao In these cases. Tbe shower .tick waa left In both in stances at the office of the Morning Enterprise. My only regret now is that the umbrella waa returned In both Instance, almost immediately, for I would bave been pleased to pa tronize the 'Lost and Found Column' of a paper that proved lta ineffable honesty." Mr. Hedge, then told another story about an umbrella, which be said waa not exactly apropos, but Is a good story anyway. As Kipling would say, "It's another story" but it 1. clever. "When I was a young man attend ing Yale College", aald Mr. Hedges, "one of our professors told us a story tending to prove that circumstantial evidence was not always infallible. He Mid that once upon a time there was a man living in the quiet town of Elizabeth, N. J.. whose business waa In New York and who went to the metropolis daily to attend to his business. He, therefore, was a com muter. In the course of several years be accumulated a great many decrep id, umbrellas, most of which could be repaired at small cost. Finally his good wife urged him to take the um brellas to the city with him and bave them repaired. She urged that If they were repaired they would last for years. But he was In a hurry every morning to get to the station in time for the train and for mere tban a month forgot to take the um brellas with him. And his good wife each evening upon his return would remind him of his dereliction. Final ly the word 'umbrella' obsessed him, and about that time he bundled up at least 20 shower sticks, and, throw ing them across his shoulder, started for New York. He left them at a repair shop on West Street and went to the big office building where he had offices. At noon he went out (or luncheon and stopped at a cafe to eet an aoDetizer. After pouring the cocktail down his throat he started out, and with him an umbrella be longing to another man also started out. "'Hey!', yelled the owner of the stick. 'You have my umbrella.' "'So I have,' replied the commut er confusedly. 'You see I have so many umbrellas excuse me.' "That afternoon about 6 o'clock he went to tbe repair shop and got all his parasols which bad been repair ed. He put tnem unaer nis arm uu boarded a ferryboat for Jersey City. Half way across North River some one poked him in the aide. He recog nized In tbe man tne teiiow wuum umbrella he had taken at the cafe. The fellow smiled. Then he said: "'Had a pretty good day after all. haven't you. Old Fellow?' "It seem, to me that . a pretty good argument against circumstan tial evidence", said Mr. Hedge, as he left the Morning Enterprise man to attend meeting of the Oregon City Water Board. FRANK PROFFIT OF PN The funeral of Frank Profflt, who died at hia home on Molalla Avenue Sunday morning, waa held Monday morning at 10:30 o'clock at the Elv vllle Congregational Church, Rev. W. T.
