practica tple compass. You will be all
the NOR comfortable for it yourself
There is no need of shrinking yourself
into a she III to do this. Proper self as
sertion is always found side by side
with Torrect idea of the rights of
others.
Persona matters as a rule are excess
baggage, not to be carried out of the
family. The man or woman who does
not regar Va this rule, but spreads the
handbag IS and packages and parcels
of his ow {h personal and family affairs
and feeliny " all around him as he goes
out into I. be world only makes himself
a nuisance to others and in time comes
to be avoio& led. Your fellow traveller on
the rail no Is no right to open your trav-
cling case and examine its contents.
For you voluntarily to open it and
show them to him shows that you are
a greenhorxn of the first water. You
resent his attempt to open your bag.
You shoulcy resent his attempt to open
the packae8e of your family affairs
The excess baggage of his personal in
quisitiveness you must not let him
put in your seat.
An over q oncern for the good Of 9TH
ers, an over weening interest in their
Wetare, bis also is excess baggage
that is mi, shty inconvenient to carry.
You pay heavy toll for it on the road
II you tai Re it along. 1t Is all very
well, more Ythan well, right and proper
10 De pong courteous, accommodate
ing, ready Ito help others on the road,
but there Is limit to this and there
the effort s fhould end. The we'll mean
lngness thi tt imposes its attentions on
others, OFT len unwelcomely, is excess
baggage IN at weights yourself and en-
cumbers he seat of your neighbor.
The persort to whom you would do a
service ma not desire it at your hands
and your ee forts become an unwelcome
annoyance,
There is no greater nuisance on earth
than the n nan on the cars who leaves
MS grip OPP en and half his wearing APP
parel exposed to view. The same is
true OF IN man or woman who leaves
MS inner yself open for others to see
inside at will. You have no right to
weight nlother with what you should
care for yourself. If you asked a
stranger to carry your satchel he
would consider your request an imper-
unence md diregard you and it. He
would tell you to travel with no more
baggage Than you could carry your
seft. exceptions there are in the case
OF the OH the decrepid, the woman
with pabeF, but these do not void the
rule foY have no right to ask an
other to Harry your troubles, your Sc
crets, your unpleasantnesses, any more
than TO Curry your excess luggage.
These asdmonitions of necessity ap-
ply only Ito the casual acquaintance |
of life, to the ordinary friends, to those |
upon whem no obligation is laid to |
carry for us any of our material or i'm |
material baggage. Our closer set, our |
real friends, our other selves, with |
them it v different, but even here there |
is limit 1t is not well to tire even
our VeryRS est friends and truest by |
handing lem our heavy satchels as a |
steady hg. The tendency of human |
nature to tire of bearing the burd- |
ems OF (ther, and 1t is wiser to pack |
our belq bings in as small compass
as poss and carry them ourselves |
as ru without making packhorses |
of our nds.
But most important fact of all, |
the one t needing notice, is that we |
all car immense amount of un- |
necessd aggage; that We only add |
to the bf travel, burden ourselves |
and OF unnecessarily and detract |
from 6iafort and pleasure of the |
jOurn1 BY this excess; Life is SO
much more a simple thing than most |
Of us regard it, we have not come to |
understand how little baggage Is really |
necessary in making the journey. We |
cannot see how a woman will make |
the tour Of Europe and be presentible |
with all Of her baggage confined to a |
small steamer trunk and hand satchel. |
Many have done it. Those who have, |
have the most delightful recollections
of the trip. Their time was occupied |
in pleasure and not in looking after |
baggage. |
The moral is obvious. Trim down |
your notions Of life to suit its real |
needs. Pack the luggage that you are |
to carry into the smallest possible |
compass, and carry that in your hand. |
Reduce baggage. This is the golden |
rule of travel 1t is the golden rule of |
all living as well. Most of US are only |
baggagemen, looking after lot of use
less luggage when he should be enjoy
ing life, taking in the sights and |
sounds that create pleasure, increase |
knowledge and multiply our delight in |
being and living. No one ever yet saw |
one Of the immortal painters or poets
who pictured the angels of their i'm |
maginations with a saratoga trunk |
and dozen band boxes and bundles |
of all sorts and sizes. Reduce baggage |
and increase comfort is the only rule |
that works out your salvation.
Hon. C. B. Bush, president of the |

fiux in his family, during the past |
summer, which he cured in less than
