"I 'am notlso sure. I would care to

It is well knolin that the Chicago

grades that could, be found between'
Chicago and the, - Missouri Riter,
.with, but, few curves; its track 'is
r.mostly of heavy steel rail, gravel bal

permanence and solidity-it is as
smooth as a floor ; all its cars - strong ;
with plenty
,of wheels ' under them,
and with springs so adjusted that the
usual "betinc,ing" And
,oscillation is
reauce,d to Ole minimum. We obsev

that a person will- sit' in these hotel
