He took the paper and 1 watched,
And saw him peep within:
At the first line he read, his face
Was all upon the grin.
he read the next the grin grew broad.
And shot from ear to ear:
He read the third; a chuckling noise
now began to hear.
The fourth he broke into a roar,
The fifth; his wafstbaLd split

FIRST RIDE ON THE ELEVATED.
It Impresses Strangers Now aS it Did
New Workers Twenty Years
, Ago.

@WSW S&>%@@ WWS@
+ Ago.
Every day there are among the pas
sengers on the elevated roads consider
able numbers of persons who are rid
ing there for the first time-visitors
from out of town. To the stranger I'm
accustomed to such structures, says
the New York Herald, the elevated
road must be one of the sights and
sensations of the metropolis. Here on
the platform of an elevated station,
waiting for a train. stood a little party
of people from out of town, whose bags
and traps indicated that they had
come from a distance. A train ap-
preached rapidly. -
Now" said a lady in the party to
the boy whom she held by the hand,
'you are going to ride on the elevated
railroad"
At the same time it was clear that
the lady was herself much interested,
as indeed she might well be, for it is
certainly a striking experience, the
first ride through the varying scenes
OF a great city upon an elevated track,
with the endless traffic of the streets
weaving in and out below, looking
down upon the heads of the throngs
upon the sidewalks and In upon the
varied occupations or upon the home
life Of workers and dwellers on floors
above the level of the streets. It may
be remembered that ell these things
seemed very interesting to the people
in the city when the roads were
opened.
