than seven hundred times walked up and
wondered that before morning. No solu-
Ion of the question, however, till daylight,
when we began to pass through small
towns, stations, camps, ranches, etc. BY

On the sleeping car we met the usual lot
OF people who inspired the funny man to
perpetrate the antediluvian jokelet There
was the man who SHORES, and the woman
who groans There was the call for medi-

who each and severaliy, with one accord
opened his grip and produced flask, a

supply of whisky, gin, rum, brandy, port

with a few unclassified counties to hear

Next morning we begin to look for the
big snow drifts. We do not get view of
them, however, until we have first tasted
of their flavor. Our train comes to a stand
still, and on inquiry we find that there's an
order for US to wait for the snow plow.
From this time for the next few hours we
hear the following reasons for our delay:
''Snow pillow off the track Landslide"
'sSnnw shed caved i'm ''Ditto on fire.
"Washouts. ''Wires down, waiting for
orders" Then we hear that there is thirty
feet of snow in cut we must pass through,
and the snow plows are all in the wrong
place. We settle down to be
''sNow BoUNDn
and become celebrated as some of oul
friends have, so we can tell our folks about
1t when we get home, but just then oul
train goes forward, and we have no further
trouble, reaching San Francisco with only
a delay of fourteen hours. We learn tha
the real cause of our delay was because
some bright genius ordered the snow pillow
to back down the track, and in doing it wa:
derailed. AS soon as it was on its feet agaiI
1t cleared the few feet of snow away in
hurry.
Arriving at the San Francisco end of the
ferry, fight my way through seventy five

And why did go to the Palace hotel
Because / wanted to see the largest an
