A TRAVELLERS SMART Trick -
Among the persons who purchased
tickets at tho Union ticket Office ycstcr-
day was All elderly iuiy whose dcstina-
ton was St. Paul, M;nn. Save the
presence Of a small dog, which she de-
c!arch she was going to take with her,
the lady was alone. After securing a
check for her baggage the lady and hcr
dog entered the ladies' coach, where
the former took u scat while the latter
crouchcd down at her feet. Soon after
she assumed 4 peaceful attitude the
train hand entered the coach. and
noticing TIC tug, started 10 drive ii
out. I'hc old lady objected, bnt the
train hand would not yield, although
he saw the dogs mistress in tears.
Fortunately, a commercial tourist,
who had been silent witness TO the
entire conversation, stepped up and
asked the train hand to let the dog re-
main until he would return. The
train hand complied, and the tourist
left the coach in a hurry. In about
fifteen minutes he returned bearing a
cheap vaiisc in his hand, which hv
opened. After cutting Il large hole in
tho side he placed the dog in the valise,
and pulling his head through the hole,
closed the valise. With smile he de-
posted the valisc on the scat by the
old lady and quietly laughed when the
train hand cGne back to kick the dog
out.-1tl0Nt0 Constitutions.
