As they mentioned Detroit and the fact that they we going to stop here, a citizen who had a seat ahead turned around and said he would be glad to give them any information he possessed. “Look-a-here,” said the woman in answer, “I want a fair understanding with you at the outset Who do you suppose this young man is?” “Your—your grandson, perhaps.” ~“Nb, ill 1 .” “Your nephew, then.” “No, sir." “Your own son.” ••No, sir.” ••Perhaps he is an acquaintance.” “He is my husband, sir—married yesterday—and I don’t want any mistakes made. A dozen different people have taken him for my grandson or nephew, and I’m getting tired of it He’s my husband, sir—h-u-s-b-a-n-d, and now go ahead and tell us where we can find a hotel with family oomforts for about $1 a day.”—Detroit Fk-ee
