for the state election board, some per-

always got off at the station which
they bad just passed. and as he was
not In the seat the conclusion was in
evitable that he had jumped off the
train and forgotten it.
The man called the conductor and
explained the case to him. After some
discussion and a mild protest on the
part of the conductor that 1t wasn't a
part of his duty, the suit case was put
off at the next station, with instruc-
lions to send it back on the first train

The man. feeling that he had done
an able and friendly act. settled down
