The Pullman car to be used on yell
lowstone National Park trip June 90 is
not unlike other cars of its kind. 1t is
composed of lower and apper berths

chased his ticket he is entitled to choice

The places that project out into tn.

them and they are rallied about so thai
there is absolute safety. There are in

exaggeration to state that, so far a
least, no place of equal size has beer
discovered in the world that commando
such wealth and fulness of grandeur al
this. But, as Miss Brooks says, if you
