A RIDE ON THE PoNTCHARTRAIN RAIL
wAY.-A short trip on the Pontchartrain
railroad will show that the tide from the
lake or the backwater is slowly receding.
The novel sight of train of cars blowing
their way through the water is enough to
draw more than a passing notice. The
train meets with but trifiing obstruction,
making all its connections on time. The
amphibious people who live in Milneburg
have taken to top boots, and show fair
amount of bare legs. Further than this,
one can not find much to attract attention.
The lake is the color of the Mississippi and
indeed wedding has actually taken place
between its waters and "Big Drink"
