Pennsylvania station, each and every

not stop to ask for the station for
which their ticket really calls, no not
they, they want the people of whom
they ask, to think that they are about
as big as the cities of which they ask.
and as a result, many Of those persons
have had to wait many hours for trains

under his seat, and sprang through the

chasing an elusive cotton tail. He was
