LINCOLN AND PULLMAN.
How the Rail-Splittor Got the Better OF the

How tho Rail-Splittor Got the Better OF the
r p. S. G. Man.
Once upon time, away back in the
sos, there was only one Pullman cur.
That was known as car A. 1t cost four
thousand dollars some Of them cost
forty thousand dollars now. Car 4
ran out of Chicago on the Alton road.
George NJ. Pullman had evolved il.
When his idea had been put into wood
he mounted it on sixteen wheels and
attached it to train. Then he, per-
sonally, sold the right to sleep in it for
fifty cents chance-or fifty cents
risk, If you prefer It, for it was about
one man out of five who could sleep in
car A OF the COS.
Fifty cents was the price and two in
a berth was the rule, as unswervnble as
the laws of the Modes and persians. II
some sybarite wished to sleep by him
self and was extravagnnt enough to
pay for the luxury, lie paid one dollar.
Then he temporarily owned the berth.
One night going out of Chicago,
long, lean ugly man. with u wart on
his cheek. came into the depot. Ito
paid George NJ. Pullman fifty cents and
half berth was assigned him. Then
he took OFF his coat and vest and hung
them up, and they fitted the peg about
as we'll as they fitted him. Then he
kicked of his boots, which were of sur
prising length, turned into the berth,
and, having an easy conscience was
sleeping like healthy baby before the
oar left the depot.
Along came another passenger and
paid his ffry cents In two minutes he
was hack at George Pullman.
s'rhere's a man in that berth of mine.-
said he, holly, 'and he's about ten feet
high. How am going to sleep there.
I'd like to know? Go and look at him
In went Pullman-mad too. The
tall, lanh mans knees were under his
chin, his arms were stretched across
the bed, AMI his feet were stored COM
fortably-ior him. Pullman shook him
until he awol1e and then told him if he
wanted the whole berth he would have
to pay one dollar.
'My dear sir" said the tall man, "a
contract is a contract. have paid you
fifty cents for hBlf this berth, and, as
you see, I'm occupying it. There's the
other half pointing to strip about
six inches wide, Sell that aud don't
disturb ME again" And, so saying. the
man with wart on his face went to
sleep again. lie was Abraham Lincoln.
