LOOKS coon TO FATHER


You look awful good to father
sang the long man with the chin
whiskers and the silk hat. He. did
not sing LOUDLY but with much fervor
and he stopped the other fellows in
the aisle while he looked into his
berth and gloated. The fellows be-
hind him had been spending an hour
or two in the library buffet car Of
The Pioneer, Limited, and they were
introducing him to one. of the chief
attractions of the train on the way to
Chicago. l.
"It looks good to me, HE said turn
ing around and inviting the bunch to-
look into the berth. Say, what's the
name of the fellow who wants to
feather the nest of the youngsters who
want to get married ana start house
keeping on four dollars week? Well,
forget him and let us say a good word
for the man who feathered this nest
for father. Amt It the limit?"s
"Well amt it The Limited?e'' butted
in the frivolous one of The bunch.
'It's more of a. hit with me than
anything l have seen since / have had
a home to stay away from, p said the:
long man with the wa1iskers. tIt aH-
peals to me because it shows that the
railroad people have come to proper
appreciation of the rights Of the old
man. Father has been caricatured
and ridiculed, he has been permitted
to be the producer of the family, and
nobody has thought about his comfort.
Even the song writer's, who have dealt
with family matters, have talked and
wept about nnctt,Ahar and the girls and
the only time they have referred to
the old man is to in iicate that he Isl
out getting a jag somewhere and that
it is about time for him to gel back to;
his neglected family. But here is the

could trade those beds for berths that
look like this one I would be in the
market for the trade tomorrow. It's
me for my nightie and repose." z4,.s
The other fellows enjoyed the glee
of the long man SO much that they,
listened to his grunts OF satisfaction
as he stretched hinnselff in the berth
and announced to the porter that it
was the first time he had had room
to stretch himself while he slept since:
the day he had run away from home
and travelled west in an empty freight.
And The Pioneer Limited not only
looks good to father, for It is just as
much a hit with mother and the rest
of the family. The new sleepers on

The train Is ineomp arably finer than
the finest of the trains de luxe used by
the royalties OF Europe, and the speed
and comfort with which the Journey
between ST. Paul and Chicago is now
aaaomp Ished makes the trip some
thing that is more like diversion
than a task. The Pioneer Limited Of
