nous disdain upon his classic features,
sends tired and trayelstained arrivals off to
impossible regions in the fifteenth story, or
haughtily refuses them any lodging what
ever.

clerk Is an Invaluable feature of our civili-
zatlon. The time OF the arrivals and de-
partures OF all the trains on all the railroads
