Only an Incident.

Railroad travel has it's pathetic no less
than its humorous aspects. In a slow
train the other day sat worn looking,
shabbily dressed man with an infant in
his arms. The little one was wrapped in
an old lace shawl, and the ribbon about
its waist and in its cap had evidently been
placed there by unskilled hands. 1t seemed
contented as it fed from it's bottle, and
from time to time the man pressed it close
to him and looked in it's face with
dimmed, tender eyes. A woman with a
kind face, who sat near, made remark
about the beauty Of the child, and the IA
Their looked up with a pathetic SMILE
Yes, ma'am, she is pretty. She's like
her mother. That makes it harder to part
from her. Since her mother was taken
I've tried to raise her myself. But had

I'm taking her to my sister, but I don't

BAGGAGE SMASHING.


When Trunks Are Damaged, Railways Are
Ready to Pay the Bill.
1t is not generally known that the trans
fer companies in New York, Chicago and
other cities expect to pay for the baggage
they smash and it seems about time to
bring that fact to the attention Of the pub
lie. Every railway baggage master is re-
quired to give the transfer companies re-
ceipt for all the baggage he receives and
will not accept package unless it is
in good order The same rule is applied
when the transfer company receives bag
gage from the railroads, SO that if trunk
is delivered at it's destination in damaged
condition the blame can be traced and laid
where it belongs.
Mr.. 5. W. f. Draper, general manager
of the New York Transfer company, tells
me that they have to pay several thousand
dollars every year for damaged baggage
and often are required to give indemnity
even for the loss of strap. In order to
secure themselves they carry an accident
Insurance policy of $4,000, and this not
only covers damages to baggage, but ac-
eidents to their wagons or drivers or
horses If one of their wagons happens to
run over a child or take the wheel off a
buggy, the accident insurance company
pays the bill.-New York Letter in Chica-

Bowdoins Il. Exeter Academy 10.
Special to the Press.1

Brunswick, October 6.-This afternoon
Bowdoin opened the foot ball season by an
exciting game with the team from Phillips
Exeter. The fine weather, together with
the fact that it was Bowdoins first contest
of the year with team from another insti-
tuition, drew out a large attendance of
spectators eager both to see how the home
eleven would appear, and to judge what
sortgof team Bowdoin had to support the
glorious reputation of her past foot bal
elevens. 1t is safe to say that the expecta-
tions of the spectators, and especially Of
Il ose. of them who were competent to judge
OF foot ball matters, were fully realized,
and the general opinion is that Bowdoin
has an exceptionally strong team to put in
to the field this autumn. When the two
teams came running into the field, amid
cheers from the grand stand, where many
of. the fair sex were assembled, as we'll as
from the crowd outside of the ropes, their
weight.seemed to be about equal, although
the Exeter men seemed TO have slight ad-
vantage in this respect.
Soon, when the arrangements were COM
pleted, and 1t was decided to play twenty
minute halves, the game commend ed Bow
doin started off gloriously with kick off.
and made good gain, but lost the ball by
tumble. Exeter then tried to force her way
ahead but she likewise fumbled and lost the
ball. Here upon Stubs made fine run, and
Mitchell scored a touchdown on the next
rush. Quimby kicked the goal Score, 60
in Bowdoin's favor.
The ball was now kicked off by the Exeter
team, and in a few minutes she got posses
sion of it again and by the brilliant runs of
Simonds for ten yards and Jack for thirty
i've yards the ball was carried over the line
scoring four points for Exeter, but the goal
was not kicked as the ball was accidentally
put into play.
Bowdoin now started the ball and made
steady gains through the centre, here the
fine tacklings of Stack appeared Time
was called for the fist half, neither side
scoring again. Score, Bowdoin g. Exeter 4.
In the second half Gibbon took S1monds
place at half back and Cobarn, Richards
place at quarter on the Exeter team.
Exeter opened the second half by quickly
scoring touchdown and kicking the goal
by Gibbons.

The ancient English custom of giving
love tokens on the goth of August died out
many years ago. The custom was for
'enamoured maydes and gentlewomen''
to give to their fayorite SWANS as tokens
OF love little handkerohiefs three or four
inches square, with a button or tassel at
each corner and small one in the center
The finest of these favors was edged with
narrow gold lace or twist, and then being
folded up in four crossfolds so that the
middle might be seen. They were worn by
the fortunate SWANS In their hats or on
the breast. The favors were generally the
