VESTIBULE TRAINS TO CHICA-
GO.

The Vestibu.e train is new factor
in western railroad transportation. 1t
is claimed for these trains that on &C
count of there being connected by steel
hoods all danger of telescoping in case
of accident is removed, the train being
practically one long car. 1t is Ger
tain that the oscillation of the cars Is
greatly reduced, and it is also certain
that the vestibule trains afford the
greatest comfort yet known to travellers.
The adoption of this style of train by
the Chicago, Santa Fe & California rail-
way between Kansas City and Chicago
is strong bid for the passenger traf-
fc between the West and Chicago.
This new road is in many particulars
ahead of its older competitors, and will
undoubtedly be the popular road to
Chicago. tt

other players.

this on pair of jacks and discard one OF
them to fill q flush ?" After moments
Thought the others said he could if be show

other when his hand was called. ACCORD.
ingly he laid jack face up on the table ano
drew one card He filled his flush, got the

nassed a great number OF times, gradually
grew 10 such d mepsious inst they actually

The next man but enc set ail this time

turned his gaze with soulful eyes. He also
took one card and discovered Oh turning it

grim humor fitted over his face as be men

Inland Printer
The souvenir dancing orders of the
Albany Printing Pressmen's Union
contain the following contribution from
"a printers devil,' which is too funny
for publication in so-called comic pa
pers: at least, they seldom have such
genuine hulnor. 1t is entitled "a Prize
Essay Oh Newspapess":
Newspapers is called vehicles of in
formation.
Reporters is what is called 'the
statf7'-so many ofthen being "sticks."
They work hard-at refreshment bars.
Proofreaders is men what spoils the
punctuation of compositors. They spell
a word one way to-day and another
way tomorrow. They think they be
intelligent persons; compositors! think
different.
Compositors is men as sets up the
type-and sometimes the drinks, Com
positors is very steady men when they
is sober-which they seldom is when
they can help it.
Editors is men what knows every
thing in the heavens above and the
earth beneath. They is writers who
doesn't write anything whatsoever.
They is the biggest men you ever see.
Managers is men as taken in the
''tin" and gives patent-medicine ads
tops of columns next to reading matter
thirty-seven columns out of thirty-two.
Proprietors ant anybody. They amt
ever seen.
Printers devils is the most important
persons in a printin' office. They does
the hardest work and gets the least pay.
Pressmen is-well, there wouldn't be
no newspapers, no circus bills, without
pressmen to PRINT 'em.
Feeders is men what feeds on the fat
of the land. If I ever start paper Of
my own I'll call it the Umbrella.
Everybody will take it.
I heard the foreman tell this funny
story to one of the 'staff7' the other day.
It must have been funny, cause they
both laughed. This is the story. "a
gentleman was promenading the street
with little boy at his side, when the
little fellow cried out: oh, pa, there
goes an editorn Hush, hush. said the
father, don't make sport of the poor
man, God only knows what you may

tent with their new home but are de-
lighted, and every man who comes and
locates invites back and brings some
of his more timid nabors. Here is a
thriving population Of 5000 people liv-

\ down east Connecticut yankee came
out the last of February and bought
fifteen acres of the poorest, whitest,
gravliest land I ever saw, and after
taking up two hundred and seventy
four stumps, has made it rich, and now
sells every day as fine potatoes and
onions and other vegetables as ever
grew. He wears bell crowned fur hat
and is the very personiticatiCn OF old
Brother Jonathan as we see him in the
pictures. He is as lively and as happy
as a jaybird. Three yankee girls are
here teaching school, and I'll bet that
some of our widowers will marry them
before the year closes. Away back be-
fore the war, when yankee girls used to
come South and teach school, our Wild
overs married them as fast as they
came. They were smart, selt-rellant
and economical, and that is the kind OF a
wife Il widower wants.
