Our duskv brothers not nfrequently fill me with a

The first occurred several years ago, when the steel

Those whose memories bark back that far will remem-
Der that the Pullman Company money at that time was
largely expended on lavish crnamentaton of peculiarly
assertve STYLE consisting for the part OF an
eruption of gewgaws which riot over the exposed
surfaces of the car like a rash the back of baby.
The external slant of the upper berth in these was

One who makes only occasional

practically lived on the rail for two
or three months running, not only
the man at the throttle, but the
man at the switch, the flagman,
the fireman, the conductor, and
the Pullman porter as well, come
to be in a very real sense men,
