the Pullman as doubling your business ca
yacity. You can save day by travelling
all night. You cannot so travel often in
an ordinary car without exhaustion and
risk to your health. doubt whether any
man is every inch himself after one single
night amid the alternating frigid and tor
rid atmosphere, the crowded, or at least
cramping seats, the slamming doors, and
the ever changing company in an accom-
mediation or way car.
On the other hand, 10 Pullman you
are entitled to twice the elbow-room to
which YOU are liable to be restricted else
where. You fasten your curtains, clap
your ticket in its clasp, undress exactly
as if at home, hang your garments on
hooks,-and in just such light and
Fahrenheit as you would wish, You lie
down on better bed than most of those
you will journey past. If your train
starts late in the evening you will be
asleep hours before the passengers by the
other cars or your train can get access to
their seats. Custom has made the rock
ing of my birth and the subdued noises
of our progress as soothing to me az my
mothers cradle and lullaby. You may
not be so fortunate. Second childhood
cannot always hope for mothers lap to
lay its head on. But your chances for re-
freshing rest are better than in the aver.
age of hotels.
II you are an early riser, or very late
one-you will have opportunity to make
your additions and toilette alone. At all
events you step out of your Pullman, pre-
sentable, and needing no apologies. while
your friend in the next car ahead would
be mistaken by an Oriental for a sinner
doing penance by sitting up all night in
sack-cloth and ashes.
When great scholar who looked de.
crepid and superannuated, was asked his
age, he answered, "Forty," and when one
expressed surprise that he appeared sc
much older than he was, added: 81 ought
to have said that was eighty years old
for my nights have been dedicated to lu
cubrations, and so the tale of my years
should be reckoned twice over" You car
pass half your nights in Pullman-bu
in no ordinary car-if you would escape
the scholars premature old age. God has
made the day for man to go forth to hi
work and his labor until the evening, ant
the night for his taking of his rest il
sleep. No man can long transgress thi
law and not smart for it. A candle light
ed at both ends cannot burn long.

I call by the name of eating the waysid
snatching and boiling where we have al
resembled serpents who swallow thei
food without chewing, or dogs who catel
hurried drafts from the Nile in deadl,

Pullmsn's dining car adds the crown
ing keystone to his arch of wayfarint
comfort. 1t is an old reproach on rail
roads that the "close connections" of which
they boast, turn out to be with their pc
hotels rather than with other lines which
their passengers wish to take. Pullman
has made those railroad connections will
hotels for which every hungry pilgrim
will bless him.
