we boarded the stage coach at til, plac6
eurOuU Tor the Northwestern Editorial
Association, to be Leld at Concordia

the hospitality of Mr.. George Bell,
who, by the way, is prepared to fur
nish az much solid comfort to the
/ weary traveller as can be found in the
west. Being reused from 81 sound
nap, we took the morning train which
/ leaves before daybreak and was soon
steaming eastward. At Cedarville we
stepped into the mail car to have a lit
tie chat with our OLD friend, John Lind
/ sey, who was manipulating that part OF
! Uncle Sans civil service. You who
/ snOoZe on your dOwny pillows until the

| iudOlence, you have but little idea of
vigorous lamp light labor that is neces-
sary 70 be done in order that you may
get a glimpse Of the outside world
through your morning paper. Truly
the mail service system is phenomenal g.
