A Baggage Smasher,s Fate.
From the Burlington Hawkeye

From the Burlington Hawkeya
An aged Trunk sat back In the dark corner of
the car and refused to bulge when the baggage
gentleman called him out. The baggage man
IN great wrath advanced and seized the VEN
cradle Saratoga by the handle.
Gently, friend. gently" said the Trunk;
THAT thing you have hold of was not made to
lift me by"
But the baggageman gave It yank that
pulied 1t out by the roots, and then. with VIC
holding on.
II have nothing to do with getting out this
baggage" replied the Aged Trunk, 1smy sole
mission and duty In life is to get on the wrong
train Failing In that l am content merely to
go to the wrong hotel. although would prefer
TO lose my check and get lost entirely. You
Will md the remaining handle at the other end "
The baggageman walked around and caught
hold OF the surviving handle BY placing his
feet against the end Of the trunk and holding on
with both hands he was able to pull off this one
In three strong pulls. Then the Aged Trunk
closed It's ey 8, leaned back, and simply said:
And this is where must get of, too"
The baggageman wept He had now to stoop
down. put his arms around that trunk, pick It
up bodily, and carry it to the car door. he did
SO, but the eXertion broke his back in three
places. He determined that he would not die
unavenged, so he hurled the now helpless trunk
upon the iron bound truck that awaited it. Then,
as he heard the awful crash that announced the
ruin he had wrought, he sank to the floor OF the
car, saying:
Il die happy"
But comrade looked In the car and said
sadly:
Missed yer tip, Bill"
Didn't bust the trunk?" he asked family.

she, the richest woman in all England is surely
not far this side of GO.
She Is little meek-faced creature. utterly
without style or distinction in either appearance
or manner-and as to her dress! 1 have been
trying to think Of some one In America whom
she resembles, but can't. At all events she is
small. slight, and very und-shouldered quite
the carriage of an enfeebled old lady Her hair
is of muddy brown and is now parted in the
middle, and either plastered smoothly down
over the temple or on state occasions slightly
inflated on either side, giving her the appear
ance OF being about to lose her binders. She
has small light blue eyes, straight mouth,
with thin lips and a small nOse-not at all an
unpleasant face. and the farthest in the world
from severe one. 1t is easy enough to see how
she would grow to be very dependent on the
person who happened to be much with her If
sympathetic to her.
She wore pale blue silk gown the evening
that saw her, and over 1t was festooned a black
Chantilly lace Overdress or something o: that
sort: at all events it was all awry. and the gath
ers intended for the middle of the back were
around on the side in a bunch, while the fesfoon
arranged for the side was dangling in front
This failure to understand each other so evil
dent between gown and overdress, did not con-
tribute to the dignity and elegance of the dis
tnguished wearer. Neither did her head deco
ration have that effect. In fact, do wish Eng
fish matrOns would either eschew their wretched
little topknots entirely, which you may say that
they are not likely to do for nv asking or
wish they would find some way of fastening
them SO they will stay put. Nothing can be
more absurd than a row of dignIfied old dow
ayers, each with her unsteady headgear nodding
and waving with every slightest motion, and
any one who has ever seen a cage of weary old
cOckatoos will instantly see the resemblance.
