The Western papers speak of a man
taking his private car and skipping for
a journey of two or three hundred
miles, as though it were matter of
every day occurrence. Such, indeed,
is the fact. Private cars in Chicago
are almostas common as yachts in New
York. Every man, from the attorney
Of a railroad down through the bound
less ramifications of its management
until the clerks are reached, controls
the movements of private car to a
greater or less degree. A Chicago
railroad attorney will step into his own
car and take a run down to Milwaukee
in the most matter-of-fact manner in
the world. It never occurs to him that
he is doing an unusual thing, and yet
I to a New Yorker the performance seems
based upon wealth in unrivalled mag
nitude.

mittently from 3to z? myself am do
ing the god-of-day business in the mat
j ter of getting up, and I'm not dividing
honors. If you want a NEUROLOGICAL
prenomen for that destroyer of rest, I
have it, What is it?,' asked Mrs.
