Three Baggage
Checks
BY Donald Allen
1903, by NJ. NJ. Cunningham

Whatever caused Harry Lee, bache-
lor, club mar and a good deal of a cynic,
to saunter into the Central depot that
afternoon he never has been able to
explain except by laying II to fate. He
wasn't going anywhere, didn't want to
see anybody in particular, and be al
ways kept clear of passenger depots on
account of fearful old women and cry
Ing children. On this occasion he had
scarcely caught sight Of one fearful old
woman when somebody caught sight
Of him.
And wha on earth told you that /
was going TO B~uffalo?" exclaimed a
voice at his elbow as he turned to go
out.
1t was Miss Remington, whom he had
known fairly well for a year past and
who had sometimes struck him as be
Ing rather good looking and Of engag-
Ing II Just now she was look
ing unusually well in her travelling
suit and her eyes shining with excite
nient.

Lee. with ready wit.
How nice of you! My trunk was
sent on half an hour ago ahead Of me
and must be in the baggage room. I

Sir John Macdonald, when premier
Of Canada, one evening was present
ut a public dinner at which he was
expected to deliver q rather impor-
tant speech. In the c~onviviahty Of the
occasion he forgot the more serious
duty Of the evening, and when at .
late hour he rose his speech was by no
means 90 luminous ~ 1t might have
been. The reporter, moving that 1t
would not do to print his notes as they
stood, called on Sir John next day and
todd him that he was not quite sure of
having secured an accurate report.
He was invited to read over his notes.
but he had not got far when Sir John
interrupted him with That u not
what I said" There was . pause. and
SIR John continued, Let me repeat
my rsmarks." He then walked up and
down the room and delivered q most
impressive speech In he hearing Of the
amused reporter, who took down every
word a. II fell from his lips. Having
thanked Sir John for his courtesy, he
was taking his leave when he was re-
called to receive this admonition:
Young man. allow me to give you this
word OF advice-never again attempt
to report Z public speaker when you
are drunk"

A Timely shake.

Some years ago the Duke Of Con-
naught visited japan and was taken
by Sir Edwin Arnold round the bazars
Of Tokyo, where he bought many curl
Gus toys and specimens of japanese
art. In the evening he remarked to
Sir Edwin that he had seen most OF
the sights, but had not experienced
any of the earthquakes which are SO
common In japan.
II suppose you cannot show me
One?- said the duke jestingly.
Immediately the house shook, the
chandelier swayed backward and for.
ward, the china and glass on the table
ratified, and the door burst open.
"why, Sir Edwin. you are a magi-
clan" remarked the duke as the shock,
which had happened at so curious a
moment, subsidized.

II checked for me. Brother Will said
he would surely be here, but something
has happened to detain him."
eft will be something to remember all
my life"
A child of ten, a bachelor of forty
or an old woman Of ninety can check
a trunk when once the feat of getting
II to the depot has been accomplished.
All you have to do Is to point 1t out
with n hand while you show your
ticket with the other and tell the bag
gage master hat he must make no mis-
take and check II for Oshkosh instead
Of Kalamazoo.
Harry Lee had that trunk identified
and checked In seven minutes, and he
was feeling rather proud over the fact
when a plain looking woman of forty
appealed to him. She was looking for
a trunk with a broken handle, but thus
far 1t had eluded her. 1t tried to dodge
Harry Lee, but In vain. He had his
eyes on 1t In no time.
Just at this juncture a girl of eight
cen, dressed In mourning and looking
fearful and anxious, wanted help. Her
trunk was all right as to handles, but
she was afraid 1t bad been checked to
Rochester instead of Syracuse. She
gave the bachelor her check to see
about 1t, and thus II anne about that
he had three checks for three trunks In
his possession. Moreover, he put them
into the same pocket. Moreover, again,
he'd have walked back to Miss Rem
ington with them had not the plain
looking woman and the girl In mourn
ing hesitatingly reminded him OF his
carelessness.
Ten thousand pardons. ladies'" he
apologized in confusion. and with that
he calamity pulled out the three checks
and made a fair divide. There was
just n apiece and nothing left over.
1t was train time now and everybody
In a hurry, and Miss Remlngton's
brother came rushing in, and SO with
II all no n made any discoveries, and
the three women were hurried way
with scores Of other passengers.
For the first time In a year. 30 far as
he could remember, the club bachelor
had made himself useful for a few
minutes, and there was something ike
elation In his eye as he left the depot
to continue his saunter. Twenty-four
hours later he received a call from
young Winchester. who had an open
telegram In his hand and who bluntly
inquired:
~See here, Lee. what have you done

they learn that In height the waves
usually average about thirty feet, but
In rough weather they attain from

they are often from 500 to 600 feet

GL LUCKAUF ".
A GOOD BOAT

Ever since the two German boats, the
Gluckauf w and Wannsee, arrived at
TINS place, great interest has been shown
by everybody, and yesterday the Gluck-
auf Nv made her maiden effort In Ameri-
can waters.
Early yesterday morning the mast OF
the Gluckauf Nv was stepped and the
work OF rigging her had been going on
until about 3 o'clock. when she sailed
over TO the Eastern Yacht club float and
after while started out
The Gluckauf Nv is a flne-looking craft
cept that she has shorter ends. and her
sail plan is narrower and a trihe higher.
On board the Gluckauf Iv were the Wus-
trau brothers and Mr.. Won Schroeder,
agent OF the Hamburg American line.
AS she went out OF the harbor she led
the way. In the feet OF Sender Klasse
boats were the Caramba, sailed by Mr..
Foster: Mr.. Hendrie sailed the Hayseed
III, DR.. Prince the Cod, and Mr.. r. G..
Macomber the Windram Kid. The first
run was TO Archers rock and the Gluck-
auf Nv was first round.
Sheets were hauled fiat and they stood
70 the southward I'm light southerly
breeze for beat to Pig rocks. AS they
stood away for the mark all the boats
were doing well, and from the shore IL
looked as IL the German was betting the
best or IL. From what was seen IL was
plainly evident that the Guckauf "
wants breeze TO do her best, but her
performance yesterday was very clever
and showed that the Americans have not
got a walkover
