| catch up with you again. And then when the
| conductor asks you for your ticket and you re-
late to him the pleasing little allegory about
the stranger and the baggage, he will look in
credulous and smile down upon you from half
closed eyes, and say that it is a beautiful ro-
nance, but he has heard it before And you
will put up your iewelry or disembark at the
next station.
VI. If you are going three hundred miles,
don't try to get off the train every fifteen min
utes under the impression that you are there
If you get there in twelve hours you will be
doing excellently
VII. Call the brakeman conductor; he
has grown proud since he got his new uniform,
and it will fatter him.
VIII. Put your shawl strap, bundle and
two paper parcels in tie hat rack, hang your
bird cage to the corner of it, so that when it
falls off it will drop into the lap of the old gem
tleman sitting behind you, stand your four
house plants on the window SILL set your lunch
basket on the seat beside you, fold your shawls
on the top of it, carry your pocket-book in one
hand and hold your silver mug in the other,
put your two valises under the seat and hold
your bandbox and the rest of your things in
your lap. Then you will have all your baggage
handy, and won't be worried or fiustered about
it when you have only twenty-nine seconds in
which to change cars.
TX. Address the conductor every ten min
utes 1t pleases him to have you notice him.
If you can't. think of any new question to ask
him, ask him the same old one every time.
Always call him "Say' or "Mister."
Y. Pick up all the information you can
while travelling. Open the window and look
forward to see how fast the engine is going.
Then when you get home you can tell the chill
dren about the big cinder you picked up with
your eye, and how nice and warm il was and
what it tasted like.
XI. Don't hang your paraSol on the cord
that passes down the middle of the car. 1t
isn't clothes line 1t looks like one, but it
isn't.
XII. Keep an eye on the passenger who
calls the day after Monday, "Chewsday". He
can't be trusted cars length.
XIII. Do not attempt to change $50 bill
if you have only 1925 with you; it can't be
done.
XIV. If you want nap, always lie with
your head projecting over the end of the seat,
into the aisle. Then everybody who goes up
and down the aisle will mash your hat,
straighten out your frizzes and knock off your
back hair. This will keep you from sleeping
so soundly that you will be carried by your
station-Burdette, in Hawkeye.

very many names of distinction in the
various tongues of the world, and
the first meeting which was held
in 1878 and presided over by Victor Hugo,
was an occasion of great note. The second
annual meeting was held in London last
year, and at it the question of copyright was
agitated, speeches being made by Matthew
Arnold, Blanchard Jerrold, NJ. Taine and
many others. As the result of this a COM
mittee was appointed. The principal sub
ject of discussion at the Lisbon meeting this
year will be upon literary property and

PHILADELPHIA Press: The nomination of
James G. Blaine, or his cordial support by
the Pennsylvania delegation, would atone
for the many mistakes with which this year
has been studded, and it would help make
the people forget acts which the Republican
press, speaking of the party, has been COM
PEELED to disavow and which have thrown
shadow athwart the party's future. 1t
would save the party dozen doubtful legis-
lative districts and make the next senator a
Republican beyond all doubt; it would
strengthen the party in every close county,
and in Philadelphia it would make certain
the election of the city ticket, which may
otherwise suffer from 'scratchers' and Re-
pubicans disguised with the workings OF
the machine.

Rules for Ladies Travelling Alone

I. Be sure you know where you want to
go before you get on the train.
II. When you purchase your ticket you will
have to pay for it; no use to tell the ticket
agent to ''charge it, and send the bill to your
husband" And if he says the price of your
ticket is 1896, don't tell him you can get one
just like it of the conductor or at the other
store for 500 He won't believe you and he
may laugh at you.
III. Never travel without money. 1t re-
quires broad views, liberal education, keen dis
cernment and profound Judgment to travel
without money. No one can do this success
fully but tramps and editors.
". Beware of the commercial traveller.
V. Don't give a stranger your ticket and
ask him to go out and check your trunk. III
will usually be only too glad to do it. And
what is more he will do it, and your trunk will
be so effectually checked that it will never
