and quietly sat down for her foot to be
examined and have its usual bandaging.
She was watched to see what she would do

Ladies travelling through Canada by rail

happened that a Yankee school teacher, on
her way from Kansas to Vermont, passed
through the dominion, with a trunk to
bursting with nothing contraband. When
the officer demanded her key she begged
him not to open it, assuring him it had
come through from Kansas, containing
simply clothing and books, and so full it
would be troublesome to repack it. But
he sternly demanded the key, and mali
ciously pulled everything out to the bot
tom then-fnding her assertions were
true-he returned her key and advised her
to ''hurry up and get the traps back" )" as
the train would soon move. "What is that
to me p said the quick-witted woman Il

Grand Trunk Railway responsible for its
safe delivery. | will not take the key, and
you may do what you please with the trunk. "
Report says that officer was weary and red
in the face and rather profane before he
got that trunk packed.

those who are instrumental in its cir

contained within its pages. This be-

if the Radical party in this State ex-
