and stables are beautiful. There is a
porte cochere on one side of the house,
but what is much more remarkable there
is railroad track back of it. Pullman
can run his private car up to his back
door get in it and go, like the wind,
whittier he listeth. 1t is no more trouble
for him to journey to Frisco than to New
Orleans, nor does it cost him penny TO
go to Augusta, Me, or to Atlanta, Ga.
Like most enormously wealthy men, he
does not have to spend much to enjoy
himself Any railroad would gladly give
him ten engines to pull his private coach
if he wanted them. Why should it not?
1t is probably, like the other roads, run
ming his cars over its rails and paying
him cent mile for the privilege, while
he pockets the extra fare.
Pullman has pocketful of franks. He
sends some business letters through the
mails, but if he wishes to comm unicate
with any one in hurry ne telegraphs.
He never writes to his wife when he's
away from her. He telegraphs to her,
1000 words at time perhaps. The mes
sage is franked over the wires. But
Pullman never gives passes save in. re-
turn for courtesies he has received. In
stead of giving passes, he gives written
orders TO his employees. A man who is
favored with one of these orders has TO
pay his fare, but he fares better than he
pays. The order has the same effect upon
Pullman conductors and porters as has an
edict of the emperor.of China on coolie
tea-picker.
AN OPEN SESAME ORDER.
They kow-tow, bow their forehead in
the dust and obey. One of these orders
will turn an upper berth into a drawing
wand turns a trundle-bed into a coach
and four.
An order Of Pullman's is superior to at
mospheric conditions; one has been known
to reduce the temperature in car twenty
degrees by opening the windows. Pull
man writes these passes in an eX-
tremelv beautiful handwriting; a hand
writing that would insure any clerk a
mighty good salary. If Pullman had
written more he would not write so we'll
He is indeed almost self-educated. But
that IS TO his credit.
Pullman's love for his mother was ten
der; his grief for her death was touching.
He wore mourning for her for more than
year; he mourns for her yet, now that
his visible mourning is put away On the
desk in mis- Office is pictur of his mother
in a modest silver frame. Everywhere
about his house are pictures Of his mother.
So pierce the steel of vanity and self-as-
serJion and you touch softer metal in Pull
man. He married a Miss Sanger. She
is a house-wifely person, devoted to her
husband. For his sake she enUertains,
but she does not care a rap for society.
She puts on fewer airs than the wife of
any vice president or secretary of any p.
D. Q. railway ten miles long who owns
but one palace.
They have fonr children, two girls and
two boys. One daughter, Harriott, is
married to Frank Carolin Of California /;
the other is yet single. The boys, Sanger
Pullman and George M. Pullman. are
twins. Their father, mother and sisters
can distinguish between them, but a
stranger cannot tell one from t'other
They look exactly alike, their voices
sound as much alike as two strokes of the
same bell. They used 10 ride a bicycle
built for two, and they drove the same
tandem. They are passionately fond Of
horses When they we're younger the splen-
did lawn in front Of their fathers house
was constantly cut up by horses hoofs.
The young Pullmans took their fences on
the lawn. All their horses had long
tails, for Pullman will not have horses
tail docked. They had a splendid time
a constant vacation.
MS BOYS HAVE TO WORK, TOO.
Now their vacation comes once year,
