PLIGHT OF TWO SOCIETY MEN.
Dress in a baggage Car nut Are on Time
at "A Dnncp

TWO Young society men who left town
on an afternoon express train to attend
Il dance at LcnoX bad most amusing
experience not long ago, says the New
York Mail and Express. The train lost
considerable time and careful estimate
made Of TIE time required to dress and
reach tho dance on their arrival showed
these young men that they would be
very late indeed.
A way out Of the difficulty was found
by one of the young men,, who made the
suggestion that they dress in the bag
gage car and then they cqgr,aa proceed
to the dance Immediately uron the ar
rival Of the train. They went to the car.
found their uress-suit cases and pro-
ceedcd to change their attire. Clothes
of all kinds were scattered about the
car, when the door opened suddenly and
the conductor came in. lie took in. the
situation'at n glance and laughed at the
plight of the young men. r
Although one of them landed at the
station with dress clothes, no tie and
yellow shoes, he quickly rrmedied these
defects and drove at once to the house
where the entertainment was being
given.
These two young men had their dance
and were not very late, owing to their
acrobatic performances Of dressing in
a baggage car on n train going over a
very rough road at 40 miles an hour and
so minutes late at that. -

that at the battle of Plevna Gen.
skobeloff's life was saved by young
Pole. The Russian commander. rec.
ompcnsc, offered the man his choice
between 100 rubles and the Cross of
st. George. oThe Pole delibcrated
awhile and then asked what the deco
ration was worth. When informed
that its intrinsic value was about five
rubIes, he said: "I'll take the cross and
