PLEASING THE PASSENGER.


 The pleasing of the people who dine en route is something that cannot be achieved by following a set of rules. Human nature is DC werful element in the problem. Whats one mans food is another mans poison" was never truer anywhere than it is in the dining car. If the world is full of cranks-and they say it is-the boss of the dining car comes in contact With his share of them.
 In a hotel the manager has every thing moro or less under his thumb. In the dining car service the supcrin- tendent is never lon the spot" strict ly speaking. He has to send out plen- ipotentiaries who can be trusted to satisfy his ~companys patrons. The dining car conductor has absolute gives orders to the cooks and wait CTS, he takes care Of and accounts for all money received, ane makes sure that furniture, linen and silver are kept in good order, and, above all, he seeks to make the passenger com fortable and happy.
 The General Passenger Agent is months ago he caused the discharge of conductor who was inclined to be brusque in his conversation with passengers.
 You've got to look pleasant-the way you look when you have your photograph taken,' he says, through the medium of the Dining Car Super intendent, to the man who seeks a position as conductor. When pas senger enters the car, you must greet him pleasantly, as you would greet a guest in your own home. And after he sits down don't leave him to the waiter alone. Keep a watch to see that his wants are not neglected.''

AND GOOD FOOD IS NOT ALL

The traveller is not concerned with the quality of food alone-he must have service and surroundings that are pleasing. Not long ago. the Lehigh Valley started in to remodel the inter- for of all it's dining cars. It was for merly the practice to have the ina hogany ornamented with scroll work, but modem sanitary science decrees against anything that will catch and hold dust. So the scrollwork must go. Soon all the cars will have absolutely smooth mahgany walls. The men in the shops call the new type "the mi crobeless dining car.''
 The linen for the tables is imported from Germany, where it is made ac- cording to a special pattern of the railroad company. The emblem of the railroad-a wreath, with the letters Il. VI on the inside-is woven into every piece. Around the sides runs a Walls of Troy border. The linen has to be ordered eight or ten months be- fore it can be delivered, because of the special design.
 Europe also supplies the china. Plates, cups and saucers and dishes come from I-in1ages, France, the fam ous china manufacturing center. These are also made by special design; and on the ho++ooo nf every piece is the legend in French "Fabrique pour Lenish Valley Railroad"

rants were once introduced, the com petition between railroads became so keen that it was not sufficient to sup ply merely the least of two evils. Just as the transatlantic traveller today must have a clean, well-ventilated, electric-lighted cabin, so does the pa tron of the dining car. demand that the food and service equal that of a first class city hotel. If his expec- tations are not met-very well, he will travel by some other road.
 It was in 1893. the year of the Worlds Fair at Chicago, that the Le- high Valley inaugurated tits dining service. At that time the headquart- CTS of the department was a single room on Exchange Place, Jersey City, a few steps from the eastern terminal. Now it is a three-story building at Easton, where supplies to the value of fifteen or twenty thousand dollars are kept all the time. Here you can find anything from the hindquarter of beef to an olive, from a table cloth to a toothpick. From here are issued all the food, drink. pots, pans, dishes, silver, glassware and linen that are used in all the dining cars of the company

changed frequently. Sometimes the Superintendent selects for this a dish which wins prompt and lasting pop ularity. And it stays on the list as long as the passengers show they like it. At other times, of course, a Selec- tion proves a failure; when this oc- CUTS the unpopular dish is soon re- moved and another is substituted
 I'm free to confess that it's largely guesswork,'' says the Dining Car Su- perintendent. we don't know why it is that a "boiled New England din- ner" should prove so much more pop ular than the dish just below it on the list. We think maybe it's because 1t has several different ingredients, or perhaps it's because most people have a taste for boiled food. Whatever the reason, 1t has proved a winner. What they want we try to give 'em.'
 Just as the taste of traveller changes, do does his capacity rise and fall. Some months he eats more, some months less. It has been found that the average sum expended for a meal on the train is about 80 cents. The record receipts for one round trip of the Black Diamond Express, New York to Buffalo and back, amounted to s296, paid by 304 persons.

THE AGRICULTURAL DEPART
 MENT.

The agricultural department at Washington calls for reform because it's attitude toward Dr. Wiley and the pure food law is making 1t and the administration ridiculous.
 The Washington correspondent of a reputa b1e Boston paper says: While President Taft was swinging around the circle on a wider tour of travel head of this nation, preaching the doc Urine of peace and enunciating various civic policies, one of his cabinet off, cers has persisted in ignoring orders of his chief relative to department matters. Secretary Wilson has ut teriy failed in carrying out the Taft decision in regard to the pure food controversy, leaving Dr. Wiley help less in the hands of his foes.
 sEither through density of under standing or perversity of will, the anti Wiley cabal in the department of agriculture is still on the job, neu- tralixing the labors of the pure food champion.
 Dr. Rusby, who was in the storm center of the department squabble between his friend and collaborator of Wiley, is being starved out of his post, which the president seemed to endorse On the other hand. Solicitor McCabe is stall in power, checkmating the chemist and pursuing the even tenor of his way, just as if President Taft had done nothing to straighten out the tan gle in favor of Dr. Wiley

THANKSGIVING vENIsoN.

The open season for shooting deer in Massachusetts comes right in time for distribution of yenison for Thanks giving It is probable that more than 1,5o0 deer were shot, and from 10 to 15 tons of venison is in private hands as the result.
 It is reported that on the first day over 300 were killed in the state, an increase of 30 over the first day of the previous year. A man from Spring field brought down 250-pound buck at a Wilbraham mountain spring where it had gone to drink. At Granville a party of three shot two deer, one a buck of PIP pounds and the other a buck were killed, one weighing 250 pounds and the other 175. Similar re- ports are coming in from many towns.
 At Greenfield a man shot a heifer for a deer, and in some instances boys and men have been mistaken for the innocent animals.
 From the town of Warren comes the report that a wounded buck found in the highway was c1ubbed to death with a stick of cordwood in the hands of a teamster.
 Considering the tameness of the deer and the fierceness of the hunters, there is great deal of cruelty being shown up, which takes the luster from this so-called sport.
 If mere humanity is not shown, the Worcester Gazette says the state may abolish the present method of reduc- ing the deer in numbers, which is nothing short of brutal assassination, and substitute for 1t the trapping of deer by state authorities.

THE RED CROSS SEALS.

The Red Cross seals. the profit on which is applied in the battle against the white plague, are to be sold in every postoff1ce in the United States; and it Is hoped that one hundred mill lion of the stamps will be sold before New Years. For this work it is an nounced that an army of 50,000 paid and volunteer workers will cover the entire country.
 Since the Americans by actual count. number 93.927. .000 souls, 1t will not bs an extravagant feat to sell less than seven million more stamps than there are people. The purchase of one Red Cross seal apiece will almost achieve it; and if those who can afford to do so use them pretty constantly upon their December letters the stunt ought readily to be accomplished.

Boston, Nov. 2S.-A street car conduc- tor may eject a passenger who has paid his fare if the passenger refuses to go inside the car or get off when the conductor requests that the vesti- bule be cleared, according to a decis- ion rendered today by the full bench in the Massa ehusetts supreme court. The court held that while custom may exist which permits passengers to ride in the rear VeStibule of a. car, yet when conduc- 1r notifies a pas senger to go inside the car or get off that custom ceases to be of conse- quence. The decision was given in a case against the Berkshire Street Rail way company.

THE BULLETINS DAILY STORY
HE WAS STUNG

sI1et me sell you suit of clothes this morning." said the merchant prince standing in the doorway of his trade palace
 who had been looking in at the show window. I've had such fierce luck with clothes I've bought of you that I'm going to buy my rags somewhere else after this. See these trousers l have. oni When I bought them here six weeks ago they were three inches too long, and now they are too short to be good knickerbockers. They shrunk a foot and half in the legs, without reason or excuse. But I wouldn't mind a little thing like that, if that was all"
 You're joking, Balderdish. There is no better clothing in the world than 1 sell. Every garment has an ironciad guaranty. If it doesn't suit you can bring it back and get another one
 If it doesn't suit I don't want am other one like it. That's the way with your blamed old guarantees. A man wears a coat that makes him the laughing stock of the village, and the man who sold it to him thinks he evens everything up by giving him an other coast that is worse than the first
 There's something funny about the clothing I have bought of you- It seems to be made on the time lock principle. It always waits until it can cover a man with embarrassment be- fore doing anything freakish- l sup pose I could buy a suit of clothes here and wear it on an uninhabited island where nobody could see me. and get good service out of it; but just as sure as I appear in public in a. suit of your clothes the most humiliating things begin to happen.

 T started to tell a pathetic little story about a boy who laughed when his grandmother fell downstairs, and who was struck by lightning as a pun ishment for his crime. The children were so interested you could have heard a pin drop. Then all of a sud- den a button flew off my vest and hit the teacher in the eye, and then an- other flew off. and presently the but tons were flying in every direction un, til I sounded like popping corn, and the children just rolled around on the floor in childish merrfment- Now. why did those blamed buttons wait until such a time as that?
 Its that way every time. Things have come to such pass that I'm afraid to bow to a lady lest my clothes explode, and I have quit going to church because accidents happen every time I walk up the aisle.
