he begins to take stock in the kitchen.
The conductor told me that the chances
for stealing on dining car were about
as good as they are for robbing slot
machine. There used to be a chance to
make the price of two drinks out of a
bottle of whisky, but keen young
Jay Gould of a special agent discovered
that there were twelve drinks to the bot
tie instead Of ten. He was promoted and
the last perquisite, even to the empty
bottle, was taken away from the CON
ductor.
Toward the end of the trip, while the
porter is brushing the dust earnestly off
the back of one passenger and depositing
it on the other; while the prettier ladies
are waiting anxiously to primp while
the uglier ones are monopolizing the
primping facilities and replacing their
travelling teeth with those they wear in
town, the perspiring conductor of the
dining car begins to check off, with the
aid of the cook, the entire list of sup
plies, embracing over 1000 articles, to
see what viii have to be bought, so that
the requisition may go in at once.
No one thinks while calmly eating in a
sweet smelling diner, and looking out
over the velvety meads where the tom
tit greets the jocund morn, that 200
articles are in stock, packed under the
floor beneath his feet or concealed about
the car, and that all these must be kept
in stock and in good shape all the time,
subject to the order of guests.

it took all of her time, 50 she had to

The man Wore nice long salmon col
ored whiskers and a celluloid collar. He
wiped off the top of the table with an
an-purpose dust cloth, and put tall
goblet Of rain water near me. Then he
went away, possibly to neighbor's
and returned with an iron spoon with
silver freckles on it. Afterward he
brought in a cake basket containing

Then came a porous towel, or napkin.
and a thick saucer Of granuIated ice
cream. In driving nails with the saucer
some one had Clipped out mouthful of
the rich china, and now the half melted
mayonuaise ice cream was running ont of
that notch. There were little Jumps of
butter in this ice cream. silver gloss

dence that the proprietor cleaned the
lamps every morning before he made the
ice cream for the day.

manned watching the little child in the
store to see that its nose did not run
away with it while the proprietor went
out to the fair grounds to get change for

cream since that.
But to return to the dining car. As |
said, not only the stock but the en- regle
business has to be looked after. 1t would
not do to run dining car the way some
hotels are run. 1t would not only drive
people to drink, but it would drive them
over another railroad. The commercial
man is a throbbing advertisement for
good or i'll. He will damn a hotel or
dining car in ten days so that, unless the
proprietor has -narried well, he will be
canvassing for a snide family medical
work inside of a month. When | began
to travel went to such hotels as my
able New York manager sent me to.
Sometimes he sent me to a hotel that
had been burned two months. Some
times he sent me to hotel that had be-
come morally a little rancid under a
new proprietor. Once he sent me to an
inn which had its name in the hotel
directory, and when got there found
that it was a saloon with an annex
consisting of room in which the bar
tender filed away such customers as
could not be shipped home.
Now, however, l simply get my eye on
good looking sample case and follow it
from the depot. | find that l do not
make any mistakes. A travelling man
generally is a good conversational, and
if you listen to him you will notice that
when not doing up a hotel he is doing up
a railroad or "a dining car, and he is gen
orally on the right side Of the question
too. | believe that the press and the
commercial men together can do and
have done a good deal toward elevating
the standard of American hotel cooking.
And yet there is good deal Of room for
improvement.
After every days run, or at the end of
the trip, the dining car conductor counts
up his cash, looks over his checks, bal
ances cash, looks over his stock of
liquors and checks up on that. and then

, east while ago with letter of credit
from the Kansas City Safe Deposit and
Savings bank for 300. He went into
Drexel, Morgan &c Co.'S and presented
it, asking for 800 on account. A clerk
took down sort OF time table and looked
over it, then he asked the young man to
be seated moment He did so. There
was more consulting of the directory.
Later on wide blue policeman came in
and asked the young man TO join him in
a little saunter. The Texan was to be
married that evening to beautiful
young lady Of New York, and so YOU can
see how little interest he felt in trysting
with fat policeman who shaved him
self
The young man was shut up in the
cold, matted atmosphere Of the gaol in
less than half an hour, the accusers mere
ly telling him that there was no such
bank as he claimed to have a letter from.
We will now suppose that a week has
passed by. All is bright and clipper in
the gay, glad sunshine, but pain alone is
the portion Of the felon. The young
man from Texas had not changed his
collar for 1858 hours. His trunk had not
been sent up TO him, and he had been
nightyless, if you viii allow me to coin
term.
AT that moment the doors opened and
freedom entered. "YOu are released"
said a kind old man. THE Messrs.
Drexel, Morgan & Co. present their com
pliments and regrets. They thought that
Kansas City was in Kansas"
Possibly the joke is on DrexeI, Morgan
& Co., but if it is not on tine young man
from Texas think it is on Kansas Cgtv

cream sign in the window as 1 journeyed
through Texas town, and recalling the
cool yet innocuous beverage that / ate at
the above New York boarding place,
went in. 1t was, in front, bakery, and
the rather sickening odor of a last year s
candy pull seemed to still cling to the
costly hangings. Also a large pepper
mint candy cane hung in the window.
The mesory of hot candy seemed to
be in possession of the store. There was
no one else there-only this sweet mem
DRY. So passed on through an arch
way hung with costly purple canton
flannel curtains, and under coal oil
chandelier draped with scalloped tissue
paper on which the fly of the period was
holding a mass meeting. The ice cream
saloon was furnished with rectangular
table covered with real oil cloth made
to look like marble. Why anybody
should ever try to initiate marble, when
real marble is so cold and CHASTITY, do
not know.
No one was in the ice cream parlor ex-
cept hairless dog that was suffering
from fatty degeneration. There was
also sun bonnet on the ice cream table.
pressed in through the kitchen, where a
nice tin basin of dried prunes was or
were stewing. On the hearth stood a
plate with some Saratoga potatoes or
autumn leaves in it. Out in the back
yard a man was wiping the nose of a
little child. 1t seemed almost wrong to
take him away from his job, but l asked
him how he was fixed for ice cream. He
said he could get me some.
