RULES TO BE OBSERVED 8V TRAVELERS
OO/IVO OVER THE R. I. ROUTE.

RAINS on this Road always start on time. It is quite
necessary to have your baggage checked to insure its de-
livery at your destination. Sonic Roads check Stoves, Lumber
\Vagons. (551:. as personal baggage—we don't. Ifyou have any
dogs that you want to take along with you, tie them to the rear
end of the train, give the biakeman a dollar, and you will have
no more trouble With them

If you have any heavy hand baggage or valises, place them
securely in the racks. A young gentleman once neglected to
do this and it fell and broke the neck of his mother-in-law.

Always wait until the train gets under motion before you at-
tempt to get on Some young men do it, it is supposed, to show
their pluck, but most cautious people think they show some-
thing else. A young married man tried it on some time ago.
He is not at present troubled with cold feet, having had an ele-
gant pair of basswoods presented him by the Company. His
wife is new chief engineer ofa Singer.

The rules of the Company prohibit passengers from jumping
of? trains when running at 80 miles an hour. A man tried it
last fall to save his" Greeley," and the Company had to buy
four new telegraph poles and ten rods of fence. The man was
found in an adjoining township negotiating with a tooth car—
penter for a new set of masticators.

Passengers are requested to stand on the platforms as much
as possible, in case of accident, and the cars telescoping the
act as a cushion, and save much destruction of Company s
property, Never use profane language in the ladies’ car—go
out on the platform and let sliver at the hrakeman. \Vell di-
rected oaths are never thrown away upon him.

When leaving a car, carry out your bird cages, baskets, um-
brellas, and any other plunder you may have, in such a way
that it will punch the heads of all the passengers sitting near
the alley.

You must always provide yourself with a Ticket, Money or
a Pass (most people prefer the latter) to insure a safe trip over
this Road. That man that tried to get over this Rt ad present-
ing his face for his ticket, got his ticket punched by the Con—-
ductor. The Conductors on this Road use the old-fashioned
punch.

To enjoy all the comforts of modern railway travel, secure
one of the center sections in the magnificent Palace Cars of
this Company. No other palace cars in the world are arranged
so convenient as these. The Superintendent of the Sleeping
Car Line, after experimenting 48 years, has succeeded in plac-
ing a line of cars upon this Road in which all can be accom—
modated with center sections. It is a “ big thing,” and highly
appreciated by the patrons of the line. (Patent applied for.)
No other Road uses them.

Never start .on a journey w'thout providing yourself With
plenty ofsleepiiig berths. Those corked up in hat bottles me
considered by practical travelers the satest and most convenient.

 

 

 

 

(3 Hi CA do?

A (II'I‘V NO'l' RECOGNIZED BY SAINT PETER.
D RE AM
BY A ST. LOUIS cuss.

It is generally believed by the average Chicagoan, that when
mortals have had the good fortune to draw their last breath
within the limits of their municipality, they carry preferred
claims direct to the gates of heaven.

The following rather remarkable dream, as related by anem-
inently reliable St. Louis gentleman, would seem to indicate
that such is not the case, and that the geographical location of
Chicago is not clearly defined on the heavenly map of this
planet. . .

The gentleman above mentioned, while stopping at one of
the elegant hotels recently opened in that city, was taken sud—
deiily ill, and during his illness became delirious and had this
singular dream. _

He says, I dreamed I died and passed into ethereal space,
and was enabled to look back upon my kind, sorrowmg Chi-
cago friends (my friends alluded to were mostly so:called real
estate men. I had looked at several corner lots antl intended to
invest in the city.) gathered around all that was left for them to
mourn over. I heard them consoling themselves with the
knowledge that their friend had died in Chicago, and. conse-
quently would not be subjected to the delay in entering the
Celestial Gate that might have occurred had he started from his
own city. .

After becoming somewhat accustomed to the change ofthings
and sui~roundiiigs,I left the odorous locality. It occurred to me
frequently during my journey from Chicago to the Celestial
Gate, that the road did not seem much traveledwbut then I
recollected that Chicago was always claimed to be the healthiest
city in the world, and it was seldom that anyone died there
from natural causes, and such little irregularities as murders
and suicides could not occur there under their vigilant police
system—hence the seemingly unused line of communication.

In due course of time I arrived at the Gate of Heaven, and
announced my arrival and desire to enter by a vigorous pull at
the hell; Saint Peter made his appearance and requested me
to step into the great recording office, he leadingtli- way. In
the sanct’uni was a. ponderous book, behind which stood the
Recording Angel. St. Peter asks, Where on. earth did you
die? you seem to have come alone. I immediately, With full
confidence of being ushered in and placed amongst the chosen.
replied, that I had come direct from Chicago. An awkward
silence ensued while the Recorder rapidly turned over the leaves
of the great book and occasionally exchanged a Wink With
Peter; thinking that possibly they had misunderstood me, I
ventured to remark again that I came from .Chicago, 111., the
city of more magnificent churches and—Saint Peter here in—

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

terrupted me by remarking that the name was unknown to him
or the Recorder, no arrivals ever having occurred from Chicago,
and he was confident from his somewhat lengthy experience in
his department that no such place existed on earth, and mildly
suggested that I belonged to a Certain class that could not enter
there.

I remarked to Peter that possibly I was a little off the line of
regular through travel from Chicago, but was positive I could
convince him to a certainty that there was such a place on
earth if he would detail one of his reliable angels t1 accompany
me over to the other place. The proposition seemed to strike
Peter as entirely reasonable, and that, under the circumstances,
I should wish to convince them that I had no intention of de—
frauding the doorkeeper by using a fictitious name.

\Ve started for the other place and arrived duly at his Satanic
Majesty's gate. Our knock was answered by the old chap
in person, who asked us from whence we came. Peter’s re-
presentative remarked that we had come to interview him, and
asked Satanic if he had ever heard of such a place on earth as
Chicago? Satanic, for the moment, seemed shocked at the
ignorance of Peter's representative in mundane geography,
but finally exclaimed, Chicago! Chicago! ever heard of Chi-
cago? Well yes. that name is rather familiar at these head-
quarters: we have a special correspondent there, editorially
connected with one of the papers, who, when I am not there
myself, keeps me well posted. I havejust returned from Chi-
cago, after bursting a corner they were getting up on brim—
stone. Chicago is the only city on earth that makes any
attempt to rival this locality, and for the last few years I must
say they have given me a good deal oftrouble; they approached
a little too near my realms some time since and the atmosphere
became too warm for them, although they Iaid'it to Mrs.
O‘Leary's cow. “We never allow Chicago people to be troubled
with cold feet after they make our acquaintance. Satanic
became so much absorbed in the conversation that he uninten-
tionally let the ponderous gate swing wide open, and we ob-
served illustrated upon the wall of the great recording room
a map of Chicago showing the bumt district. My attendant
expressed an opinion that from the evidence obtained here he
would have no trouble in convincing Peter that I was not a
fraud; and tendering our thanks to Satanic for his kindly ex—
pressed regards for his Chicago friends, we took our departure.

After my attendant had informed Peter of the result of his
Satanic interview, he immediately sent for a photographer and
had a full size picture ofme taken, at the same time remarking
to the Recording Angel, that no entry need be made of my
arrival from Chicago, as the event never would be forgotten in
heaven and probably nothing of the kind would happen again.

\Vhile congratulating myself upon my very narrow escape
from the apparent common destiny of the citizens of Chicago,
I awoke and found myself still on earth.

I at once gave my doctors 21 furlough and left the city, fully
impressed with the idea that Chicago was too well known in
Tophet to be a very desirable place to die in.
