At a recent meeting the matter of a site for the proposed new library building was discussed, lhe‘ ‘majority favoring the site mow occu- pied by the Dwight Clark house on Main street, owned by J. Edward Stan- ley, and adjoining -the present library building. The other location discussed is that of the vacant lot owned by E. A. Tracy between the Congregational church and the residence of Henry Washburn. The latter site would re- quire considerable expenditure for grading, being several feet below the The Clark site, which it is understood was favored by Mr. Dim- ock, seems desirable in every way. but would necessitate the removal or eras- ure of the stately old colonial housa which is one of the handsomest places in the village.

The New York, New Haven & Hart- ford rairoad company’s haggagemen are stus ng the printed announce- ments of changes in baggage rules and rates, familiarizing themselves with the new rules and rates. The new schedule will go into effect on New Haven system on Jume 5,and the new rules are practically uniform with those t0 be adopted all through the United States and Canada: will go inte effect on the N&w York, New Haven & Hartford railread June 5, superseding those which took effect last fall. A wide diversity of custom and practice has prevaileq between eastern and western roads and the new rules are destined to sgradually minmize these differences. One of the points of diversity has been the checking of bodies, necessi- tating the reticketing or rechecking at gateway points between the east TUnder the new rules a body is to be checked through to any point iin this country or Canada, the ticket for it being indorsed with the check number of the ticket of the attendant. For above 550 pounds of weight ot cofin and contents excess baggage rates will be charg=d. Salesmen’s Cases. Many puzzling questions have arisen over carryving commercial travelers sample cases. The new rules separate baggage into “personal” and “sample”. Personal baggege includes wearing a; parel and effects in use and appropri- ate for the use of the passenger for the purpose of the journey and not in- tended for any other person or for sale. Money, Jjewelry, negotiable pa- per, liquids, perishable articles, etc., are exclud-:, and the railreads are not liable for their damage. _Sampie bag- gage includes samples carried by com- mercial travelers to be shown for the purpose of making sales, but not for sale or free distribution. Money, jew- elry, negotiable papers. etc., are ex- cluded from sample baggage. May Limit Size. The uniferm rules contemplate a lim- itation on the size of a piece of bag- gage after January 1 next. Forty cubic feet and 250 pounds weight will then be the limit for one piece to be chacked. The liability of the roads ordinarily is limited to $100 on an adult’'s and $50 on a child’s baggage. If the :pas- senger declares a gerater value, ex- cess rates will be cellected. No piece of bazgage which is declared to ex- ceed $5,000 in value will be transport- ed as baggage. Western roads have ecarried dogs free of charge, but the baggagemasters on trains have been allowed. to charge 25 cents a division for looking after the animals. Hereafter, if not ex ceeding $25 in vailue or not for exh bition, if muzzled or in crates. dogs are to be taken at excess baggage rates at the gross weight, the mini- mum charge being cents, No provisions are made for carry- ing eats, and it is up to the ingenuity of the traveler (0 get the pets car- ried along.

The Store That Satisfies. —————————— THE LITTLE DEARS } > \ (Written Specially for The Bulletin.)) The usual rush for the train, the us-| ual crush of people eager to secure places for themselves threw Gertrude Lenox forcibly against her nearest neighbor, 2 man of fine personal ap- pearance and evidently carefully dressed, his luggage indicating that he was intent on a week-end visit. Gertrude, with a word of apology, gathered herself up, and by the aid of her new-found friend, was soon estab- | lished comfortably in the car. Halt- ing a moment at her side, her attend- ant noticed for the first time that she carried with much apparent solici- tude a small grip, one side of which was a panel of wire netting at which appeared two little wrinkled noses, the owners of which were evidently too bewildered to make themselves heard. The girl expressed her thanks flor the assistance received: “I'm sure, I thank you greatly, for I never could have caught the train had it not been for your help. They told me at home not to wait for this train, but I could not get an earlier one. They will ex- pect me earlier in the day, but they will forgive me when they see what fine company I am bringing them.” A flash of fun in the eyes of her com- panion led her to realize what she had said. “Oh, 1 meant the puppies, vou know,” and then a most becom- ing blush sped over her face, as she thought that her explanation had not bettered matters after all “With a farewell bow and lift of the hat, Mauri Ortmann left the young lady and ted himself not far away, drawing ‘out the newspaper he had bought to read during the journey, but his eves roved from the paper to the owner of the puppies, and found something there more interesting than the latest news from Wall street. Now that he had time to notice her looks and appearance, he saw that she was attractive in looks as well as in voice. He had noticed her tones indicated good-breeding #nd now he observed her dress, was everything to be de- sired, quiet, unassuming,. in perfect taste, he decided. Maurice Ortmann was an unmarried man, no longer oung, and somewhat critical in his opinions of others and given ta form- ing opinions very quickly at times. He tance was the favored daughter luded that his recently made ac-| 5 that there was no carriagé there for Miss Lenox, whom he seefhed to know. “They came to the othér train for you, and didn’t calculate you'd come tonight, but I'm going to hitch up in a minute to carry this party to the Lawrences and I can take you'along at the same time.” Gertrude protested she c;ou;g walk, but Mr. Ortmann urged her acce'ptance of the depot master’s offer. “Youw'd better ride,” said that official; “it's quite a walk, and it's getting duskish now. My land! What you got in that bag? Puppies, as I'm alive! Won't those boys b= tickled with them? Though they’ve got dogs enough now.” “Yes, Mr. Saunders,” rveplied Ger- trude, “aren’t they little dears? I call them Tom and Jerry. The dear boys; I want to please them for they have been so good.” “Do you mean the puppies?”’ inter- polated Mr. Ortmann at her side, for by this time they were seated in the conveyance pop\l!flr known as Saund ders’ wagon. “No, responded Ger- trude, haughtily. ~I meant my neph- "heir names are Kenneth ana Lawrence, Lawrence is named for Mr. Lawrence, whom 'we have haa for a neighbor for many years, and as #ie boys are often over there, very v see them before you I'm sure you will 3 agree with me -that they are perfect little dears.” “There they are now,” said the driver. “I reckoned you wouldn't get home without seeing them on the way,” and he reined up alongside the field from which two flying figures were coming at full speed to meet their Aunt Gertrude. “What did you bring us, Aunt Ger- trude?” they cried in concert, “and is that man coming, toe? He lo if he would be fine compan climbed into the vehicle without further invitation, nearly overturning the puppies, who velped out their displeasure at being disturbed. “Gent- ly, gently, you will hurt the littie dears,” as with ,screams of delight the children took possession of the pup»[ pies. “Aren’t they lovely exclaimed Gertrude as she turned a glowing face to her fellow traveler. ‘Do vou wonder | that T calleq them little dears?”; “Which is it this time? I admit I am a little confused between boys andl of some prosperous household, and that it was not at all probable he should ever meet her again, but some- how he fancied she would prove even more attractive on further acquaint- ance. Just then a ray of western sunshine rested on Gertrude’s head. Her care- fully arranged hair lighted up in the sunshine’s glow and furnished a brill- iant display. Her fashionable friends prufessed great admiration for her wealth of golden auburn locks, those artistically inclined talked of- Titian Zzold, but had she been in a different sphere in life I fear she would have been stvled, “That red-headed Jenk- ins girl.” Maurice Ortmann did not admire red hair. He had always felt it a great misfortune to anyone to be crowned with such locks as hers, and a feeling of pity for her swept over him, as if he had discovered a flaw m what before had been a thing Beauty. But the haiting of the train remind- ed him that he had reached his desti- nation, and to his surprise Gertrude was also leaving the car at the same time, engrossed as before in caring for the welfare of her pets, who began to display symptoms of uneasiness at their close quarters, and their yelps and squeals attracted more attention than was exactly relished By their mis- tress. At this little station they were the s=ole passengers to leave the car, and as they stepped upon the platform the depot. muur cn.me up to inferm them o1 puppies. But here we are at my stop- ping place,” as Mr. Saunders with a loud “Whoa,” anmeunced their arrival, and Mr. Lewrence camse to the en- trance to grest them. “Good nights” were exchanged, and the Lenox fam- drove on. the boys caMing out: “We'll bring -the puppies over for yeu to see in a day or.two. They are per- fect little dears.” “Whom did vou Jeave at the Law- ence’s?’ questioned Gertrude’s broth- er a little later in the evening. “A friend of his for a short visit” was her reply. ‘“We shall not meet him, I presume. For my part, I hope I shall not see him again. 1 den’t know when anyone has made me feel so stupid, and I made-all manner of awk- ward blunders in speech,” and she re- peated some of the conversation. “Well,” laughed her brother,” he'll know the difference between bove and puppies if he remains long in this neighborheod, or I'll lose my guess.” This prediction . proved true.
