events can be tested. Each one playing
the game has a slip of paper bearing the
name Of some we'll known man or woman
pinned squarely in the middle of his

The Finest Train in the World.


The finest train IN the world is the
"New North Western Limited which
leaves Minneapolis and st. Paul every
night for Chicago, via the Northwestern
line. This magnificent train, from the
mammoth engine, patterned after the ia
nous $685." to the last car in the train,
is brand new, and represents the latest
and best ideas for absolute comfort and
luxury while travelling.
Besides the splendid buffet library car
really a clubroom on wheels, there is a
magnificent private compartment sleep
ing car, just the thing for ladies, famil-
les or those desiring privacy, luxuriously
appointed standard sleeping cars and the
most comfortable and well-equipped day
coaches ever offered the travelling public.
This "New Limited" train is admitted
by the press as well as by thousands of
people of Minnesota and states west who
have inspected it, and also by many
others of this western country who have
recently rode on it, as being without any
question the finest tram in the world,
and no extra charge is made for any class
of passengers for its superior accommo-
dations.
Tickets via this popular line may be
secured from agents of the Northern Pa
cific railway, who will also make sleep
ing car reservations; or, apply to Capt
