ket up over you. It is generally tCO short, and if youcOve your feet up your sauu ders are bare and vicy versy. So you pull down your skirts and put them over your shoulders, or else put | your bag over your feet, or else go without. In the morning your try to dress yourself sitting on the small Of your back and find it n)t convenient Get on to the pantry shelf and try it l yourself, Maria.
 Then all the women hustle to see | which shall have first turn at the toi- let room, and while you comb your hair, with the train going 60 miles an hour and yourself tumbling over, sev- eral other women stand outside and make remarks about your slowuess and want of manners. On, sleeping cars are nice.
 We waited from 7.3O to in Chicago, and left in another sleeping car, at least I did. Guess Seth was some- where, for what do you think, first person I saw in Toronto was Seth. He " eS0 oAOVadS ol O oCoU III UA1O "olOAAS room with his umbrella between his legs and his hands in his pockets, look ing as if he were on the verge of ex- tinction. He did really look so for lorn that did relent, and asked him what was the matter, and he told me that he got off the train to get some breakfast at the lunch:counter and the train went off with his extension case, which he had been careless enough to leave in the car. He didn't care about himself (now I had stayed in Toronto) but he did hate to lose his baggage. We'll, I consoled him and we started out to do the town together. Yes, Maria, knew I couldn't get rid of him, anyway, and so took him along. When l get back to WhiteplainS l shall hope to avoid him as the place is so small.
 We went out to a street car, and I stopped it and asked the motorman how could see Toronto. Told him we were strangers and didn't know how. He said, "Get right in here. We'll give you transfer to belt line all right, and you'll see everything." We did, and the conductor told us where to get out and to stand. First, though, 1 handed him a 1O-cent piece and he handed me back two ives q wouldn't let Seth pay my fare) and I took the two lives (rather .absent-minded, you know, on account of the peculiarity of the situation, me and Seth doing Toronto together) and then he stood in front of me (the conductor) with a thing that looked like teapot, with a handle and slot for spout. I asked him what was that for, and he said to put our fares in and I said "Ohr' and put it in, and then he hung the thing up on nail and helped an old woman in and then took it down and she put her fare in it. Did you ever see the like?
 l We'll, the conductor on the belt line tumbled to the situation, but how ] can't tell, and every block we came to-
 he came in an stood in front and says he: ''That's the park, marm. That's
 the statoo of Robbie Burns. The
 Parliament houses are over there
 Them's doctors offices. A lady lives
 in that house. Her daughter lives
 next to her all in the same yard
 That's Knox university. That's the
 athletic grounds He was just nice
 We did the city and saw where last
 years fire was and then went back tC
 the depot to take the train. I Jeff
 Seth watching some men digging fol
 a sewer outside and I went in and tried
 to get place to lie down, l was SC
 tired. The floorwalker told me there
 was sick-room. 'Twasn't generally
 used for the purpose, but she'd let mt
 have it, but she'd have to lock me in
 I thought could stand that, and sht did, and had nice nap, but by ant
 by l wanted to get out and the woman
 wasn't around, and was just think
 ing how I'd look climbing up the par
 tition and peeking over and asking somebody to let me ont when she came along.
 I've had some supper and now Eve about finished this letter. Ever yours l SeNna.
 FROM THE BURLINGTON MERCURY l WHITEPLAINs ITEMS.
 | Our esteemed townspeople, MT Seth Green and Miss Selina White, have re- turned from the Worlds fair. MI Green says he had the time of his life, and Miss White reports helpful and enjoyable journey with some excep- tions. We understand that MT Green says he saw Japanese rooster with a tail 25 feet long. This seems like a tall story or rather like long tail. We think it might prove to be an adorn- ment having limitations, as in order to house one bird with a tail of that length the owner would need a house at least 9 feet wide and certainly as high. Elsel the; rooster would. have difficulty in turning around without mussing his tail feathers or of perch ing with any comfort on the nocturnal beam. Anyone wishing the bird for the next days dinner, however, would have small difficulty in catching him. as they could easily pull him from the roost by his tail. On the whole we re- fuse to believe in this story unless Miss Selina saw MT Green when he saw the rooster, or saw the rooster herself. In that ease Sha cap vo11oh for tho o o,o,,,o
