Vic DnmseI In The Trunk.

y great many people have for various
reasons gone through the eXtraOrdina-
ry experience of travelling as luggage
instead OF as passengers. One of these
is a certain Mexican maid who for a
short time back was dying TO be with
her lover over the border in Texas But
she was too closely watched 10y her
stern parents TO be able to escape from
her home, and in this difficulty an old
servant considerably came to her aid.
She procured a large trunk. in which
breathing holes were bored, and the in
terror was padded with some soft mate
rial.
With the damsel inside, the trunk
was then dispatched to its intended
destination which it unfortunately
never reached, for the girl suddenly
found herself pitched into a luggage
van on her head and other packages
were piled around her In such way
as TO prevent access of light and air.
Even with these essentials the position
would have been quite untenable, but
the imminent danger of suffocation
prompted her to at once scream Justify
for help.
AS quickly as their establishment
would permit, the railway officials
opened the trunk and brought out the
suffering eloper. She was forthwith
restored TO her home, and thus enCcd
