You may call railroad all the hards
names you please, but they are the great
clyilizers OF the world. The railroad
companies centering at Louisville ap-
preciate the fact that the people who
! live along the lines of their road will
make better merchants, better farmers,
better mechanics or laborers If their
knowledge of the productions of the
world is increased and in proportion to
the thrift OF the country through which
It passes Is q railroad prosperous, there
fore very cheap rates have been made
and arrangements for numerous excur-
sions to the Southern Exposition. The
great Louisville and Nashville Railroad,
operating several thousand miles of road
in the South, are giving special rates to
excursionigtb. Tho Monon Route IL.

tween here and Chicago each week and
l have gone over the 'Monon Route"
each time; there has not been an acci-
dent or q train late upon which travelled
in all the 5000 miles I passed over
There is an old axiom, ''you should
thank the bridge which carries you safely
over" SO do.
In the Southwest part of the main
building there is great tank containing
six large alligators, one OF which is Is

and put down a good hard wood floor,
where the lovers Of roller skating can
auUse themselves at the same time as
