near at hand, adjustcth his traveling cap, and proccedctli
to pass a day of unalloyed pleasure and contentment.

' points, Burgundy, frogs' legs, canvas backs, Mums' ex
tra dry, English plum pudding, fruits, nuts, ices, French
coffee verily the wise man waxcth fat, and while he
lighteth a cigar he takcth time to declare that the meal
was "out of sight."
IT exurreth to the wise man that the country throng which
he journeyed was one of wondrous beauty, insomuch
that it was with deep regret he noted the nightly shad

the brilliantly lighted car, and the merry company it
contained Verily, it afforded a view of Elysium.
