Look Out For Baggage il a WO.

L know a woman who travels
around the country with a trunk
as big as a house. Protests of
husband and friends are OF no
avail, and it seems to me the case
is a perfectly proper one for the
Anticruelty society. When |
mentioned this to the lady with
the trunk, she said, "But they are
only to look after children and
animals"
"Perhaps they can twist their
constitution to get the baggage
man under the head of animals
and prosecute you"
She did not appear at all dis.
composed. The last time she
went away | groaned for the ex
pressman. The house was in an
awful turmoil, and the trunk was
on the third floor.
Its not very heavy" | heard
her say. At the remark the ex
pressman Immediately called his
helper from the wagon. 81 al
