Auto Train With Pullman Comforts.

A telephone company now extending
its line in Texas and adjoining states
transports its construction and repair
gang upon a specially devised motor
train of unique design. The train in
cludes a tractor and five cars. The cars
include two for sleeping, a dining car.
a kitchen and a baggage car. in which
work supplies of all kinds are carried.
The kitchen contains a range. sink
and shelves for dishes and a refrigera-
tor The dining car has one long table
and opens into a buffers pantry. Each
sleeping car accommodates twelve men.
All openings are screened and pro-
vided with coverings to keep out the
rain. Small stoves are also provided
in case the cars are too chilly for COM
fort. The ease with which this train
carries the workmen to the place they
are needed and the time saved over
other methods of transportation render
il a profitable investment in the opin
ion of the company utilizing it.

Kansas City.

Now that Kansas City has new
union station. is is safe to talk about
the Old one. Kansas City was never
proud of the old station, as the visitor
found out when he tried to talk about
il. There is no doubt that il lacked
somewhat in beauty and convenience,
and that the hundreds of thousands of
people who never saw more of the city
as they paused long enough to change
trains on their way across the con-
tinent may have carried away mis-
taken impression. But there was some-
thing impressive about the old station
for all that. so that a few who knew
it we'll will remember il kindly

glimpse into the might of those mon

Mr. Rudyard Kipling remarked that
east is east and west is west. anu also
hazarded the statement that the two
will never meet. 1t is generally sup
posed that he was thinking of Asia
he might well have been thinking Of
Buffalo, n. Y. Buffalo has an east and
a west, and Europe will meet Asia be-
fore East Buffalo meets West Buffalo.
The very trolley cars used to stop
when they reached the dividing line
of Main street. and the passengers
walked across to take up their journey
in a new car on the other side.
Main street is more than mere d.
vision-it is a long and important high
way. by following which you can get
comprehensive impression of Buffalo In
is something of an expedition. for the
thoroughfare rambles on and on:
through wholesale blocks and retail
blocks in a wide. stately progress until
it ends in somewhat less impressive
district near the river. And as YOU
walk along the personality of Buffalo
begins to take shape.
If Pittsburgh is a steel millionaire
and New York a combination of Wall
street magnate and theatrical producer,
none of these things. Buffalo is a
business man of the solid and conserv~
ative order who has made a bigger
fortune than you would suspect by
looking at him in some emnently staid
and methodical line of business, who
lives comfortably on his income while
he looks leisurely about for something
to take up next. You see this charac-
ter peeping forth most clearly out in
the residential districts, where the old
houses stand in aristocratic aloofness.

If you are fortunate enough to pos
sess a friend with an automobile an
even better way to get acquainted with
the personality of Buffalo than by
walking up Main street is to circum-
navigate it. There is a great belt of
public parks encircling the city. where
you may run across anything from an
art museum to the statue of an Indian
chief. You meet an occasional native
of Buffalo pacing the walks with an
air of pleased proprietorship. The peo-
pie are not given to advertising their
civic pride, bul il is there none the less

allowed to sell fish or crabs within
five blocks of the market. A body of
regulations has grown up around the
system that makes an imposing mass

Threatening and falling weather
caused severe disappointment to hun
dreds of anglers who had made extern

Decoration day. Many of them braved
the weather conditions. however, and
tried their luck at different places be-

one of the anglers. for the few bass

furnish a great amount of sport"
A report that muddy water was com

Monday night in time TO give bass
fishermen an opportunity to change
their plans, although there were some
who did not learn of the report and
who procured supplies of madtoms and
pa rticipated in efforts to land a few
gamesters.
Not many encouraging reports were
made by those who fished for bass. but
the saltwater sportsmen returned with
long strings of fish. Chesapeake

many anglers.
Fishing spots in the vicinity of Nor

who participated in the sport felt that
they were well paid for their efforts;

them to the historic town in his new

On the seven-mile stretch between
Hughesville and Benedict there was the

but it seemed more compact than usual
and the running was better. He learned
that state appropriation for the i'm

will become available and that the
work will be done this year
