Checked Too Much.

At Macon I became acquainted with
a commercial tourist. He toured for q
Philadelphia harness house. and he had
two trunks. As soon as | found that
he had two trunks / discovered why he
came up to me in the reading room of
the hotel, reached out the friendly hand,
aud said that he had carried my photo
graph next to his heart for the last
seven years. He wanted me to check
one of the trunks on my ticket as we
went up to Atlanta, and thus save him
expense on extra baggage. -
Well, l agreed. 1t is seldom that
try to beat a railroad, but one must do
something for his fe.low-man now and
then in this uphill road through life.
1t so happened that had a pass around
to Montgomery Wis Atlanta, and i
handed it to the baggage checker with
out a thought of what might follow.
As consequence, while the harness
house tourist dropped off at Atlanta
with tears in his eyes for my disinter-
estedness, only one of his trunks
dropped of with him. The other con-
tinued the ride with me for one hun
dred and fifty miles, and after con-
siderable telegraphing it went back to
Atlanta BY express. just how much 1t
cost Aim 10 fall in love with me / don't
know, but assure him on my honor
that whenever can 60 out of my way
again to oblige him shall cheerfully
do so.-Detr0it Free Press.

The Fashion Of Short Hair.

The fashion of cropping the hair is
fast gaining favor, both in Europe and
America, and it is quite wonderful TO
discover how many ladies are willing to
sacrifice the wealth of shining tresses
to a pass ng fancy. 1t is all very well
while the fashion lasts for the girls with
pretty faces to transform themselves
into bewi.ching little cuoids. out alasi
when short locks are pronounced old
style, what then? A smart ha r dresser
can cut OFF the finest. longest head of
hair in about five minutes, but the ultra
fash enable victim who is thus shorn
must remember that it will take i've
years to get those shining waves back
again. The hair lyin in loose, fluffy
rings all ov' the head is pretty sight,
but when one has become tired OF it
and dec des to let the ir grow long
again. the transition state is anything
hut agreeable, when the locks grow to
about the length of eight inches. and
hang straight and stubborn behind the
ears too short to braid or put up in any
manner. and too long to arrange in
montagues" or fluffy halo about the
face. Ladies who cling to their luxu-
RANT tresses, while looking, perhaps, q
little out of style, will soon discover
that they have made a ha!r-breadth es-
cape from much annoyance and. per-
haps. from the loss of c ms deraola
temper.-M y. Erening Post.

A Sly Patriot.

Mr.. Buckley. who would like to be
an Alderman but who believes that the
office should seek the man, goes to q
friend and says:
Wonder who'll be Alderman from
our ward?"
The friend doesn't know, of course,
and the aspirant continues:
ave have had poor men in the
Council long enough, and l think that
it is time for some prominent citizen to
step forward"
'Why don't you run?"
II hadn't thought OF it, still if had
q call | wouldn't care"
The friend goes around and gets the
signatures of number of citizens. The
aspirant takes it to the morning newspa
per office, gives it to the city editor and
says: r'
Here's something you may put in
the paper"
The next morning he reads the call
with great interest and writes the fol-
lowing reply:
ITO Colonel Higbath, Captain Sal
gore and others. Twas much surprised
upon taking up this morning s paper
to find that you had solicited me to rep
resent my ward in the City Council
l have never sought an Office, and were
it not for the weil-known eminence and
responsibility of the honorable gentle
men whose names accompany the call
/ should pay no attention to it. &C
cept, gentlemen, and assure you that /
shall endeavor to discharge my duty"
He is beaten by ten majority. and
declares that he is glad of it, but the
man who carried the call around. for
Endorsement and the city editor know
that he is liar.-ArkdnSaW ITdceiLer.

Women Travelling Alone.

Il Is . very happy thought That We
women can travel alone from one end
Of our broad land to the other; we may
6uA it mere pleasant to'have company.
but when compelled to 60 without any
enc we find it can be done with perfect
safety. II il well to familiarize ones
self to short trips from home, and thus
become more self-reliant and fearless
when the time comes to STAT out on .
more heightened journey. To feel per-
fectly at home when surrounded by
strangers ON . crowded steamboat or
railway train, we must have had some
experience of the same kind. You will
usually meet with pleasant officials.
who will render you any service that
you need; or if you find them gruff and
surly, do not let it disturb you in the
least. 1t is always much more agree
able, and puts one more completely at
ease, to be treated with civility; but
when you reflect upon the mum er of
questions these persons have offered to
them, can you wonder at little i'm
patience?
Be sure to be in time to meet the
conveyance by which you are to travel.
and to see that your tickets are correct
and your baggage che ked. and your
checks secured in safe place. Have
with you moro money than you will
need, but have the greater part of it
in some secure place. Dress rs
plainly as possible, in quiet colors, with
little jewelry or ornaments of any kind.
Ii you are going on q long journey. see
that all your needs, as far as possible, are
provided for before hand, SO that you
may not be obliged to ask strangers to
help you; and when obliged to change
cars, go with the crowd and do not lag
behind. And do not allow any one to
look after your luggage but yourself.
Go in IN omnibus where there are
others. but never in . hack alone.
Should there be any doubt as to the
cars you are to take, or the way you
are to go, ask an official or o laborer
who is likely to know. Do not get con-
fused or lose your presence Of mind.
no matter what emergency you may
find yourself placed in, aud you will be
sure to come out all right. It is best
to maintain q reticent manner when
alone; when asked question,
answer eivilly but briefly. In this way
you will End that you can go abroad as
safely as you can about your own town,
and take q great deal of en- oyment that
otherwise you would be deprived Of
