the crowd-in fact it seemed to us
there were quite as many Smith

RAILROADING IN
 THE PHILIPPINES

From the Army and Navy Life.
 By consulting the 'itinirario, or time table of the Manila and Dagupan rail- load, one sees that the "Dagupan limit ed'' leaves Manila at F noon and Deo volente) reaches Dagupan, 120 miles dis tant, at p. m. The route is through the great valley of the Pampanga, country as flat as Indiana. The roadbed of the railroad is in good condition, so one marvels why the express train makes less than 20 miles an hour There are sev- eral explanations advanced. One is that the Filipinos do not feel that they have had their moneys worth unless they can spend half day on the train going an hours journey.
 When we went up to Dagupan last April the madame and 1 drove up to the Manila station. We had to breathe through our mouths until we could pass through the "sala de espera" or station room and get on the outside of the dried fish smell that hung like a mist over the crowd of Filipinos within. I bought the tickets and asked for a time table The agent shuffled around awhile and then explained that they didn't keep such things as time tables-I might get one, he said at the general offices upstairs, but he wasn't sure Then l went to check the trunks, but found that they don t check them on this railroad: they are weighed aud billed with ceremony and if you watch carefully and force the is- sue, deposited on the baggage car.
 The railroad Is narrow gauge, the rolling stock somewhat antiquated, some what modern and wholly curious. Some of the cars are like the little chopped off European coaches and other modelled like American cars with apologies to the memory of MT. Pullman. The train was made up of both kinds and an occasional freight car thrown in for variety, drawn by a wheezy little locomotive. with a tremendous smokestack We climbed in where 1t said "first-class" and found ourselves in long car divided in the center by partition, the other side of which was for second-cIass passengers. the only appreciabe difference between the two ends being in the social status of the passengers All the other cars in the train were third-class, without seats except a shelf knee high running around the walls of the car and two benches in the center. These cars were filled with Chinamen, Filipinos, poultry, bananas. bundles, pots of rice and dried fish.
 When the noon hour approached one could feel there was something in the air, and sure enough at 12 o'clock a rail- way official. with the dress and man ners of a high ranking Spanish naval of ficer, came out with big brass dinner bell, which he rang vigorously once or twice; the conductor blew a shril blast on his whistle, the engineer footed som Der response, and our train moved ma iestcally out of the station to the delight of the "pickaninnies and the solid sat sfaction of the grown Fllipinos.
