Yes sir! The most enjoyable trip
ever took to New York was over
the Wabash. Only one change of
cars in st. Louis; the finest passenger
station in the world. Fine restaur-
ant and cafe. Got an elegant supper
for 50 cents.
We arrived in st. Louis at 600 p.
m, and left on the Wabash New York

through sleeper, reaching Detroit at
9:15 the following morning. Niagara

Nearly every man can count four friends
on the tips Of his fingers. Said Charlie to
John:
"What do you think of Bill, Tom, Dick
and Harry?'
John replied: "Four clever fellows, each
in his own way. When Bill does thing,
you know it's effected. When Tom does
it, you know he's affected. When Dick
does 1t, you know he's aspected, and when
Harry does 1t you know it's rejected. -

The Chainless Wheel

In the heat of the chainless wheel
discussion comes the announcement of
New York mans Invention of a NOV
able gear chain protector that the in
ventor claims will do away with all the
Objectionable features of chain attach
ments. The protector is in the form of
"A rubber band so fashioned as to be
attachable To the chain of any machine
and TO completely inclose the chain ex-
cept at those points where contact is
necessary with the sprocket wheels.
The rubber weighs but seven ounces
and can be made up at a cost OF about
81. Its advantage over ordinary gear
cases is that the latter average nearly
five pounds in weight. The inventor
claims that his chain protector will be
found on many of the standard chain
wheels next year as an offset to the
bevel gear devices of rival firms.
