Bostonian Finds
Chicago Chivalry

When the epic of Chicago is finally
written let not the historian overlook
the chivalry of her men, an instance of
which is reported by Boston man
lately returned from Europe.
II met the Chicago Don Quixote, -
said the Bostonian, ''at a little French
hotel whose proprietor had seized as
her only available luggage a pet dog
belonging TO an English woman who
had refused to pay about half of her
exorbitant hotel bill. Through the open
door the angry host and the still angrier
guest battled for the dog. When the
contest ragged fiercest the Chicago man
intervened.
Just you stay out here with the
rest of your baggage" he said land
will soon get the dog for you.'
He stepped inside and shut the door.
In less than three minutes he reap
peared with the dog tucked under one
arm.
How on caro- did you accomplish
it?' asked the woman and her SYM
pathlzers.
oh. that's all right he said. IT'S
easy enough to manage fellows OF his
stripe If YOU only know how

Her Handbag Drew
Attention of Police

Until you get mixed up in a suffra-
gette demonstration you never can
realize how baleful an aspect an inno-
cent little handbag can assume" said
the woman traveller. About o'clock
on the evening of the suffragette's lat
est demonstration in Parliament square
in London I sauntered out with my in
evitable black bag, and pretty soon |
got into the thick of the fray. At every
suspicion, and only that / remained un-
assertive and uncomplainingly moved
on when requested l should have been
| marched off to Jail. Presently l said
to a policeman:
"'Why do you watch me so closely?
] am not suffragette. / am simply a
disinterested spectator
Then you should have left that
handbag at home he said. It's that
that's queering you. So long as you
carry that, it will be difficult for you
TO escape arrest.
He suggested that | check II some
where. but facilities for checking un-
desired luggage were meager in that
locality at that time of night. Finally
the cashier of a restaurant consented
In putting il away he disclosed rows of
other handbags hanging, in the safe.
These all belong to women in the
crowd who have found that for tonight
handbags endanger their liberty he
said.
Relieved of that emblem of sedition

mob was displaced I went anywhere
within the lines unmolested."
