Great Men Traveling

Rosco Conkling generally gets one geat in a drawing-room and he gets all the newspapers he can buy, reads thein and throws them all over the drawingroom in a mass, besides he always has a portmanteau full of law papers, which he strews all over every seat in the drawing-room. Conkling is a very vain traveler and wants everybody in the car to look at him. Now, there's Blaine, he's just the opposite. He ahvays buys the whole drawing-room and shuts himself up, and is a very modest, retiring traveler. But Grant is a queer old feflow. When he was President of the United States, he nearly always traveled in a special car, but now, since he has become a private citizen, he travels just about the same as ordinary folks. Yon can always find Grant in the rear end of the car in the smoking apartment with a cigar in his mouth, and there he site with a hand on either arm of his chair, and smokes and smokes, thoroughly oblivious of everybody in the car. He never looks at anyone; sometimes he will look out of the window for hours. But Oscar Wilde took the cake. Oscar Wilde was more bother than all the women who ever rode on a railroad car. He had an idea that he was the greatest man that America had ever seen. and he put on more airs than if he had been the Czar of Russia, the Prince of Spain and the Emperor of Germany all in one. Would you believe it, he paid the portcr of the sleeping car to teil people at the stations along the line nfliiitAitAH l.,t ftt in i-i ít'kíf t nií I liQr Wilde was in the car. He was the vainest, most coaceited mulé I ever saw. He wouldn't drink water out of the glass at the cooler, but sipped it out of a silver and gold mug he carried with him, and he'd sit with the tips of his fingers pressed together and look up at the roof of the car as if he was about to offer up a prayer. Herbert Spencer was the most restless traveler I ever saw, and Bob Ingersoll is the best. When Ingersoll enters a car to go on a journey, the first thing he does is to hang up his big slouch hat, then he commences to rnake himself comfortable, and by the time the train starts he just acts as if he were at home in his study.
