One morning recently Mrs. Cherries Pen.
nypacker completed her arrapgementa for
a trip to visit her son in Chicago. and went
10 Fhlladelphia to secure her place an tba
tram, station Agent McMicbael. Of West
Chester, had ut her request telegraphed to
fhllauelphia the previous evening before Il
O'Clock to have reserved for her n berth In
the middle section on the New York and
chicago limited express, so Mrs. PENNY
packer, on reaching the Broad Street sta
ton, went to the ticket agent and asked
Tor her ticket to Chicago on the limited
She was greatly surprised when the ticket
agent said; Il can't sell you a ticket for
that tram. Every place is taken, and You'll
nave to wait until tomorrow" In vain
she told him she had telegraphed the pre
Vious evening and secured her berth; the
agent had received no such message. the
record was not on his books, and no section
had been saved. Mrs. Pennypacker had no
ldea or giving up yet, so she went to the
Pullman Office, stated her case, and found
that there, too, no message had been re-
ceived from West Chester, and there
seemed to be no way by which she could
secure her rights and go her way that day.
But this plucky West Chester lady was
not yet discouraged, and determined to sift
the matter to its source that the blame
might rest on the proper shoulders. So re-
turning to the ticket Office she inquired for
the telegraphoffice, and being directed to
the third floor she assembled to IL. nc
companied by the friend with whom she

again If Mr.. McMichaels message of the
previous evening had been received and
again she was given a negative reply by
the young man after he had examined his
books.
Let me see your book, please" said
Mrs. Pennypacker. A woman can always
do things better than a man. The OPERA
tor politely handed her the book, and the
lady was not slow in finding the following
record; Save lower berth, middle section,
ON New York and Chicago limited to-mor-
row for Mrs. Charles II. Pennypacker.

ing shown the discovery TO the operator,
she requested him TO give her a copy of the
same. The young man did so, and thus
for the first time the message from West
Chester left the room in which it had been
received.
Mrs. Pennypacker carried it down to the
ticket agent and again demanded her berth.
Further parley and refusal of a berth in
an end section resulted in telegram being
sent to New York, by which an upper
berth in the middle section was secured.
and aftC the lady had secured her ticket

When one sees daily, as one does, the
criminal carelessness and ignorance with
which the babies Of the world are treated
by their mothers, one wonders that the
race has ever managed to live through its
teething period. One awful hot day
woman got into a crowded elevated car
with small baby in her arms. OF course
somebody gave her a seat, and she took il,
holding the baby down across her knees. In
spite Of the day the little thing had veil
over its face-though just why there
should always be a fixed and eternal re-
lationship between wells and babies is one
Of the marvels of creation. And it had on
not only veil, but a heavy wadded coat as
well, and there it lay in all these wrappings
on its mothers lap, with perspiring mass
Of humanity close around it, too low for a
breath Of fresh air, and it gasped and
painted while that mother sat up and
thought herself kindly disposed and
Christian woman, no doubt. What the
baby should have done to have done itself
credit was to have died right then and
there. A proper spirited baby would
