GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN tells how he
commenced building hotel at Omaha.
While a large number of gentlemen were
dining at the Herndon, the gale blew out
pane of glass. The gush of air was fearful
to those afraid of the draft. What was to
be done? No hat was big enough-no
time to put in a pane of glass-no pillow
at hand the gale too fierce to tack up the
curtain and all the while the guests taking
cold Train was equal to it; he gave one
''of Thai. Stevens new citizens ten cents a
minute to stand with his back to the breeze.
The effect was electric, the wind was
stopped, the guests were happy, the negro
delighted. But the success was not appre-
ciated by the steward; he objected, said
the waiter was wanted; cursed him. And
Train observing that his genus was not
appreciated got mad, said he would build
q new hotel in sixty days bought the land
that night dug the cellar next morning,
land fifty carpenters were at work the day
following This is the history of the
Grand Hotel of the Pacific, and illustrates
theproverb that it is an ill wind that blows
nobody any good.
