About Your Baggage.

A prominent railroad official has issued the following instructions to his patrons regarding World’s Fair baggage. Everybody should read and remember them: Don’t take any. Use satchels and carry them. If yon must take baggage plainly mark with yonr name and some address in fall. Check it yourself. Don’t allow anyone else to do it. See for yourself that the number on the duplicate given yon is the same as that on the one strapped to yonr trunk. Check it to Chicago. Don’t check it to exposition grounds or suburban stations. Keep memorandum of check numbers and initials with date and points at which they were obtained. Take the expressman’s badge number. Don’t give yonr checks to the transfer agent on train going into Chicago unles he gives yon a claim check in exchange. Coming back, don’t give yonr baggage to expressman' unless he gives claim check in exchange. If yon should get a depot claim check, be sore to get it exchanged at the depot for yonr railroad check before yon leave Chicago. Call on C. B.
