Elbow Tickets-Railroad Notes

1t was merry company of gentlemen
who accepted the invitation of General
Manager Wadu to take jaunt on the
magnificent Chicago Limited tram tina t
came in over the Santa Fe, beating the
worlds record, the other day, and they
had jolly time OF 1t all the way down
to Orange and back. The train was made
up of a chair-car, a dining-car, the two
sleepers. Brave and Fucino, and the beau
tiful apartm ent car Guiana.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon the train
pulled out of La Grande station. and the
merriment began. No one was allowed
to wear sober face, and, in fact no one
had the inclination to. Mr.. Wade makes
a most jovIal host, and it was not long
before everyone had his perfecto lighted
and was enjoying the beautiful ride down
the road. The recent rains had settled
all the dnst, cleaned the summer sand
from the foliage OF the orchards and made
everything bright and green. The air
was clear and bracing, and the luxur-
iOusly fitted cars sped along past thri--
ing farms and broad acres of land. down
into Orange county, with its beautiful
orchards and vineyards, while the con-
tented party within watched the chang
ing landscape Or exchanged JOKES with
one another in the hdppIest sort OF a
way.
After while lunch was announced.
There was no hesitancy in the response,
and soon the entire party was seated i'll
tho elegant dining-oar. where polite at
PENDANTS served the following menu:
Blue Points.
ConsOmme ROYAL.

1t is needless to say the ABOVE was ac-
companied with a sufficient quantity Of
liquid joy co maintain the equilibrium
established by nature when she made the
earth, with three parts of liquid to every
one of land.
Then thers was speech-making and
toasts all around. Mr.. Wade made a
50 that If any one had kept his physi og-
nomy straight up to that time he must
needs nave laughed from necessity then.
The feast became one of wit and rhetoric
as we'll as edinles. No one was allowed
to escape. All hands, were called upon
and all responded in the happiest posi-
BILE manner. Clouds began IL gather
about the heads of the company, but
thew only threatened to make matters
jollier and more comfortable, SO they
kept on smoking.
All the way home the Gaiety never sub
sided. 1t was one funny story, then an
other, until an observer would have won
dered where all thess soiid business and
professional men stored their fund OF
humor, while doing their everyday
round of work.
1t was in the evening before the ex-
cursion returned, and not one of the COM
pany but would gladly have extended the
time. With many expressions of pleasure
and joy for the happy day spent, the
gentlemen took leave Of their host. Mr..
Wade, and all we're agreed that this had
been one of the most enjoyable jaunts
OF their lives.
