The Popular Personally Conducted Excursions to
California ii Oregon.
THE ORDINARY OR TOURIST CARS
Are identical with the Palace Oars , with the exception that the furnishings are not on BO grand
a scale , but the accommodations are equally as good as the Palace Sleepers , and are sold at half
the price.
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE
Between the first and second class passage in railroad sleeping car fares of nearly $17.00 per
passenger to the Pacific Coast. This sum can be saved by patronizing the Union Pacific Per
sonally Conducted Excursions.
LESS TIME IS CONSUMED
On the Union Pacific in making the trip to the Pacific Coast , hence fewer incidental expenses
en route. Leave Chicago every Tuesday and Thursday at 11:80 : p. m.
LEAVE OMAHA
Every Wednesday and Friday at 4:25 : p. m. , con join excursion at any point en route.

A RIDDLE.
A noun there is of plural number ,
A foe to peace and tranquil slumber.
Now , any other noun you take ,
By adding "s" you plural make ;
But if you add an "s" to this ,
Strange is the metamorphosis
Plural is plural now no more
And sweet what bitter was before !
ANSWER.
"Cares" are the foes of peace and sleep ;
"Cares" line the brow with furrows
deep ;
Yet to that noun but add an "s"
And lo 1 It blooms into "caress. "
As countless cares produce affright ,
So one caress will bring delight.
"From "cares , " ' -caress" extracts the
sting ,
And bitterness has taken wing.
E. F. WARREN.
Nebraska City , Neb. , Deo. 31 , 1901.
ANOTHER ANSWER.
If to the bitter and plural of "cares"
add "s "
we an ,
We have that sweetest and singular
word , "caress" ;
This may not be the word
To which Canning referred ,
But I think my presumption is fair
Beyond any question of doubt ,
That with the "ss" left out
We have nothing left but our "care. "

A GRATIFYING ACCEPTANCE.
Former President Grover Cleveland
has accepted his appointment as a mem
ber of the Industrial Federation , and
the Eagle published his letter to Oscar
S. Straus to that effect on Thursday.
Those who superficially estimated Mr.
Cleveland's character were persuaded
that he would not find his acceptance of
this trust practicable. Those who knew
him better were convinced that the call
would appeal to that sense of duty
which has always been controlling with
him. They were right. It was of im
portance that his services be secured , if
they could at all be had. He has sacri
ficed ease and comfort , and has put his
desire and preference for retirement
aside , to place himself in line with the
other strong characters assigned with
him to the noble function of maintain
ing industrial peace and of promoting
honor , equity and friendship between
employers and employed. The act is
just like Mr. Cleveland. And what is
just like him supplies about the best
standard of public conduct in the Union
at this time. Brooklyn Eagle.
