The Route.
First. then, as to your route. You can
not possibly do better than to take the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul road to
Chicago, and the Grand Trunk from
there on The service on these roads Is
not exceiled in the whole world, nor are
there any better equipments. or smooth
er roadbeds. If you have never realized
what a good roadbed means to the
traveller. outside of safety to life, just
notice as you ride over the Milwaukee
and Grand Trunk. that after you reach
Buffalo, you are as fresh as when you
left home: Or. If you started tired. you
will reach there rested and refreshed,
ready for tramping and sightseeing. You

watch the landscape with comfort, and
sleep as peacefully as in your own bed
at home.
The Milwaukee runs five solid passenger
trains daily each way between st: raw
and Chicago. 1t gives you daylight

Mississippi river passing Hastings, Red
Wing. Winona and La Crosse, a route
that for scenic beauty is unexcelled. Its
great Pioneer Limited leaves St. Paul at
$40 p. m. and arrives in Chicago at $3.50
the following morning. 1t is the pride OF
the road and the admiration of all rail-
road men. But just to show what 1t can
do when put to the test. our special was
whirled from st. Paul to Chicago In just
twelve hours after run that was as easy

The Grand Trunk.
What the Milwaukee is northwest of
Chicago. that the Grand Trunk railway
system is to the northern east. Its
splendid roadbed insures your ease and
safety. 1t is officered and managed al
most wholly by young men. and they
have amazed the railroad world by maxi
ing It the most popular road east of
Chicago, and they have done this in just
the few last years. They have done 1t
by providing everything the travelling
public could reasonably or even unrea-
sonably ask for. Keen and alert they
have looked to see where others have
