Elmer E. Vance, author and manager
OF the Limited Mail, which is due at thf
Grand next week, has made good use ol
his years of experience as railload
telegraph operator, and his connection
with the railroad men has enabled him
to introduce a number of characters
aptly drawn from life-the gallant and
handsome conductor, the pretty tele-
graph operator, the station agent who
lives in the depot with a termagant
wife. the smart small boy, the dissipated
employee who has become tramp, the
miss who hirts and asks questions and
the section hand are such people as Mr..
Vance saw in his years of vigils at the
union depot in Columbus, Ohio. The
Limited Mail has more thrilling effects
than railroad folder has landscape
praise, and it is the shortest and quick
est route to an evenings pleasure.
