Oh say: had dream tother night. j
dreamed / was a great railroader on the
G. p. r. r. 1 don't mean dreamed I was
a tramp or one of them fellows that rails
all over the railroad and gets put of at
every depot because they don't wear black
corduroy and hain't got no money or one
thing anuther, but ! thought ] was the
conductor or the engineer or the fireman.
and l was awful glad / want either OF the
first two because if / was them IL would be
awful hard to get of long enough to get
up into Vermont and see my folSes. You
see l thought was away down at some
junction in Maine. Well / thought got
to wanting to see my folkes awfully, es-
pecially some of Them, and / didn't see
how l could get off my Job because they
don't like to let a fellow go hardly ever,
but il a fellow is sick he can get of his
job of course, and If he is onto his job
of course he can be sick, so / thought I'd
put up job on the G. p. X. r. and get of
and go up and see my follIes, especially
some of them, so thought ! went 10 the
doctor and got a kind OF hard cold GER
tificate of disa bility and unfitness to work
for few days, and / thought I'D got l..
r. ID. on the brain and he thought IL ia
go off about a couple hundred and fifty
miles it would be awfully good for my
brain and one thing an nuther. And
thought it would be good for the &. p. n.
r. if / went because ifa railroader is sick
they have to pay for his doctoring, and /
thought would make it easy for them and
just go up and see my folks, especially
some of them, for a few days. Well i
thought when Ilgot up to the last depot
found the snow had been showing awfully,
and the wind had been piling it up in the
roads so that teams couldn't hardly get
through it at all almost. And ! dreamed
started for home afoot, but after wading
the great drifts for a couple OF
miles thought met my brother coming
after me. 1 dreamed got home all right
and was awfully glad to see my folks es-
pecially some of them. The l.. f.. ID. didn't
bother my head after / got home and ]
want sorry had it. 1 dreamed my folks
said they thought / would be able 10 go
back to my job by the Sth / was awfully
tired when / woke up and found ID was
only dream, and that / was at the juno
tion and must go to shoveling coal again.
