Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 36, Number 64, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 April 1904 — HIS WIFE PACKED THE TRUNK. [ARTICLE]

HIS WIFE PACKED THE TRUNK.

Therefore the Man Hesitated Before Taking Anything Out. A man on a business trip arrived in town and went to ir hotel. Shortly after a friend called and was shown up to his room. He found the traveler sitting in a chair, surveying with a gloomy countenance a trunk which stood against the wall. “What’s the matter?” asked the caller. “I wanted to get a suit of clothes out of that trunk,” was the answer. “Well, what's the difficulty—lost the key ?” “No, I have the key all right,” said the other, heaving a sigh. “I’ll tell you how it Is. My wife packed that trunk. She expected to come with me, but was prevented at the last moment To my certain knowledge she put In enough to fill three trunks the way a man would pack them. If I open It the things will boll up all over the room and I would never get half of them back. Now, what I’m wondering about Is whether it would be 1 cheaper to go out and buy a new suit of clothes of two additional trunks.” — Tit Bits. ,
