ALTHOUGH the possibility of war has

(. .hsre have been other things to inter

had no end of trouble in getting away.
me tale runs thusly: Mr.. ana Mrs. -- --,
vbo had planned 10 leave North Phila-
ae,uhia at a certain hour and on a GER
min train for the West. arrived there
/ Asg and baggage, and casually etked the
\ trainman IL by any chance the train was

that train did not stop at North Phila'
| delphia. and my Gears, as you may imag
| ine. pandemonium reigned supreme. the
| motor had not been driven away yet, for
hlnately, so they all piled in, heapin3 the
& hggage in after them, and incidentally
sll over them. and 'they made one wild
dash for Broad Street Station, breaking all
speed laws and limits Porters had been
telephoned to from North Philadelphia
and they came rushing out as the car

through the gate and swung on to the
rear platform just as the train pulled
out But that's not all! Oh. no! Hall
way between here and there meanine
San Francisco where the boat for Homo
lulu steams OUT q snowstorm overlook
our travellers and they were stranded
Without food or heat for two days. Well
you can guess the rest! They missed
he boat and will now probably spend th'
remainder of the winter in southern
California, which is not to be shifted a
after all, is It?
