Men and women who travel night and day want good meals, and the dining car was invented. People who ride a week or more

wanl. rest and comfort, and the stateroom was provided for them. American railroad men are exceedingly watchful, ami are -quick to imitate one another -and go one belter in any plan or device that will increase their passengers' comfort and convenience ami the company's business. If tlrey would contrive a more satisfactory method of ventilating cars, and put larger berths on their sleepers it would -be possible to live on some trains almost as pleasantly as at home.

The saurians were at once handed over to their lawful owner, who tendered the tram conductor his deepest gratitude.
