A Drive From Brooklyn to Galveston,

EXPERIENCE OF GEORGE T. BELL
Amusing and Thrilling Incidents of
the Trip.
WILL CROSS THE CONTINENT

Since the days of modern railroads not
many people are willing to travel by any
otEer method. but thu experience of Gcorgc
I. Bell and wifs shows that interesting
experiences are more apt to b. met by
those who avoid the iron rails in their
journeys.
Mr.. Bell is of Brooklyn. n V. but he
is well known in this city, where he was
cret service Of the Treasury Department.
Several years ago Mr. Bell had the unique
e>pt rience of travelling from Brooklyn. y.
y, to Galveston. Tex. in dayton drawn
by a single horse. He was accompanied
by his wife and was 102 days on the trip
They avoided railroads, lodged at farm
houses or in the tent they carried with
them, and. although their experiences were
rough and hazardous at times, they enjoy
ed ther outing immensely
Mr. Bell is now contemplating another
trlp. on which he expects to profit by the
experiences of his first journey II, eX-
pects to make Il trip across the country
practically from ocean to ocean, in Iarg..
wagon drawn by a span of horses and To
De accompanied by a photographer who

Ihese pictures he expects to utilize in con
nCction with stories descriptive of tho life
OF the people who constitute the great body
OF the population of the country and VIII,
;lre not seen by the ordinary traveller who
follows the lines of the railways Ii is
probable that Mrs Bell will again accom-
phny her husband on this trip.
Mr- Ben vas seer by Star reporter To-
