What Story It Conveyed to New York
HatmaK rmmtlicr.
There are trunk and trunks. There
are trunks which the law require Iu
the spectacular drama for the march
Iuk woiiian, and there la the trunk the
elephant brake on the road, and the
commercial traveler's trunk that al
ways blocks up the passageways of the
country hotel, and the steamer trunk
constructed with tie view to certain
spaces under the berths, and the hump
backed Saratoga that is as big as a
chicken house and as light as a grip,
and the sole leather uusmashable affair
that has been around the world. Hut
the trunk that was bustled Into the
Marlborough Wednesday morning be
fore breakfast was none of these. It
was In construction an ordinary, smart,
new, medium Hissed trunk. Yet people
lingered on the walks anil gazed at it
and smiled and looked pleased at each
other as the grinning baggageman took
It down from the heup. They stopped
across the way ou Thirty-sixth Htreet
and watched him. Even as far as
Broadway the infection spread and the
public generally approved of this trunk.
For it had dainty white satin ribbon
tied In big bows on the handles. There
were other still daintier bows of the
same Innocent material attached to the
locks and hugging the slats and kissing
the cold iron plates and caressing the
(solid comers. And how tenderly the
baggage man and the hotel porters han
dled that trunk! If It had been made
of spun glass or stuck together with
candy It would have come off safely
without a scratch or crack. Other
trunks were dimmed on the stones and
and bruised and shaken up in
the usual method. This trunk floated
through space us If it were a pitcher
of cream, and lis precious contents
might slop over. I don't say that the
rough baggageman actually kissed It,
but lie really looked as If ho wanted to
kiss It- while the porter gently s'mootli
ed out the pretty bows ui."l the fring
ed ends seemed to live been newly done
up. And the pleased public looking on
distinctly approved of the trunk and
the white ribbon and the baggageman
and porters and everything and every
body concerned. New York Herald.

An Accommodating Man.
A genial Philadelphia!!, who for ob
vious reasons, does not care to have his
nnme printed on this occasion, secured
a parlor car seat on an express train
for Heading a few days ago, and as he
was about to pass through the gates
was surprised to hear hlmseif accost
ed in feminine tones with ihe somewhat
startling question: "l'lease, mister,
could I borrow you for a while?" Lools-
in' around he found two buxom wom
en who hastily and hesitatingly ex
plained that they were riding on a pass
made out in the name of a gentleman
mid his wife, and the gentleman wa
not present, they wanted the geulal
looklug citizen to place his bought
ticket at the disposnl of one lady and
take the other one under his wing,
while he personated the absent owner
of the pass. "Which Is my wife?" he
Inquired with an Inward qualm lest
his own absent better half should ever
hear the sfory. "You can take your
choice, sir," said the lady In search of
au escort, and he promptly did so by
tucking the arm of the younger fall
one under his own and lending her Into
the car. The couple proved to be right
Jolly traveling companions, and the
citizen's only regret In the transaction
was due to a fear that the story might
lpnk out and get home ahead of him.

Lowell's Advice to Young Men.
lie had enjoyed heartily bis own fre
quent reading of the works of the great
authors he wrote about, and he was
able to convey soino of this enjoyment
to bis own readers, and to explain to
them the reasons for his liking. Ills
favorite of all was the mighty Floren
tine poet, Daute, whom Lowell steadily
tudled from early life. Indeed, the
advice he gave to young men seeking
culture was to find the great writer
whom they most appreciated, and to
give themselves to the constant peru
aal of this great writer, growing np to
him slowly, and discovering gradually
that to tinderstand him adequately
would force them sooner or later to
learn many of the things beat worth
learning. St. Nicholas.
