California.

Every Wednesday and Saturday at p. m. train leaves Chicago over the famous Santa Fe route, which makes the run to Southern California in less than three days. This train is composed of Pullman palace vestibuled sleeping cars, buffet smoker and din- ing car of the most luxurious pattern ever designed
 Another improvement in the Santa Fe service is in the time of the weekly tourist excursions, which now leave Boston every Thursday at 1l:S0 a. m,, and reach California the following Tuesday. The cost of tickets is lower and the time faster via these excur- sions than via any other.
 The Santa F'e route is the only line running entirely over it's own tracks from Chicago to California, and those who intend making a trip west will find it to their advantage to communicate with S. W. Manning, New England Agent of this line, at 332 Washington street, Boston.

For years he had been afflicted with a conplica- tion of diseases, of which rheumatism and heart trouble have been the chief, and which, combined with goitre, ren- dered him perfectly aware that death sentence had been pronounced against him. Though he fully realized that his stay on earth was short, he was ever the genial companion and hearty good fellow, the shadow of death having for him no terror.
