The happiest man in the world is II. G.
Wagner, travelling passenger agent OF the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul R'y. He
called on US Saturday, and gave us quite
matters. He says that while the pro-
gress of the American people is some
thing wonderful, it is not more so than
that of the great Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul Ry. Since they have put into
service their fast express trains, with
their elegantly appointed dining cars,
comfortable reclining chair cars, and
sumptuously appointed sleeping cars,
this progress can more readily be seen.
The dining and sleeping cars are owned
and operated by the company. The Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Ry. uses a
block system which avoids all danger OF
accidents. All the crossings are protec-
ted by gates and tower houses. They
have the finest roadbed, the heaviest
steel rails, and all the culverts are ar
ranged SO that it is impossible to have
washout on the line. The system in
cludes 6l54 miles of thoroughly equipped
railroad.
The sleeping cars are larger and more
commodious than those on any other
railroad in the United States. The berths
are inches longer and 3 inches wider
than those on any other cars, and a per-
son can sit up in his berth without hit
ting his head on the upper. Both the
upper and lower berths have electric
lights, and electric service in every car
enables the passenger to touch a button
and secure anything that could be OBJ
tanned in any of the first class hotels of
the country. Employees are not allowed
to sleep in the cars. When the cars get
to the end of the run they are thor
oughly cleaned and aired.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
Ry. makes connection at Omaha and
Kansas City with all lines from the west
and at Chicago in the Union Station for
all points east thereby avoiding all
transfer across the city Of Chicago. Par
ties desiring absolute comfort in making
a trip east should ask their ticket agent
for a ticket reading over the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul Ry. from the Mis-
souri, river.

A word Of the January programme
of this odd, progressive, economical
store:
If we let the store slumber in jan
uary, we should need to charge higher
prices for goods during the time of
year that people naturally came to
buy. So, to offset the tendency to
mid-winter dullness, to make Wana-
makers an economical store in fact,
we inaugurated, first, sales of muslin
underwear; later, sales of many kinds
OF white goods-until now January
has come to be
WHITE MONTH AT WANAMAKER'S
regardless of the presence or absence
of snow.
Almost as soon as last January's
sales were over we started planning
for this 1000 Sale-for it is only by
forehanded planning and buying that
we can effect the large savings that
