Look Oat For CiaKanse If m Woman Telia Voa It lat Heavy. I know a wouiuu who travels around the country with a trunk as big as a bouse. Protests of husbnud and friends are of no nvnli, ami It wueuis to me the casu is a perfceiiy proper one for th Antici'uelty nutlet y. When I mention ed this to tho liitly with tho trunk, she said, "But they me only to look after children auu animals." 'Tcrhnps they can twist their con stitution to get the baggageman under the bead . of animals and prosecute you." , She did not appear at all d 1 scorn posed. The last time she went away I groaned for the expressman. The house was In an awful turmoil, and the trunk was on the third floor. "It's not very heavy," I beard her say. At the remark the expressman immediately .called his helper from the wagon.'I always know what that means," he said, with a. knowing nod to the maid. When he got up stairs, he could hardly lift one end. "Never failed," he said. "When they say if light, if s dead sure to he heavy. They don't mean it, but they can't tell the truth about a trunk. 1 don't know whether they think we don't know about weight, or we'll charge them less if they say ifs light, or what, but we always look out for the trunk tbafs called light" Then he and his helper tugged and pulled and jammed boles In the wall as they went down stairs.
