Wedding Trip in a Trunk
—o An instance of a man taking his wedding trip in a trunk was revealed near Omaha, U.S.A., recently. Lacking the money for his railway fare, and wishing to take his bride to see his father in Chicago, George Frances travelled inside his wife’s big dressing case. Mrs Frances, apparently better endowed with wealth, travelled in a comfortable sleeper, and kept tho key of her trunk in her pocket book. Near Omaha, the porter checking the trunks in bis care heard a noise within the dressing case, and, suspecting the explanation, called out, “Do you want a drink?” More noises came from the case, which was finally unstrapped. Frances was so stiff that he could hardly walk. He expressed gratitude to the porter, and said he was sure it would have been physically impossible for him to have reached his journey’s end.
