LIFE PENNSYLVANIA! RAILROAD About the Favorite Train. Ocean crossers have favor- ite ships. They are selected for speed, comfort, and pre- vious association. Land trav- elers have favorite trains chosen out of many for like reasons. The Pennsylvania Special is the choice of the specialist —the specialist in business, commerce, professional _ life and likewise in trains. It specializes his convenience, fills his special needs and fits his tastes. The day’s work is done by four o'clock. A trip west on the Special offers an after- noon and evening “‘off."" He may loaf and ‘invite his soul’’ or work or read or chat with acquaintances. There is op- portunity for any of these time-passers in the club car, observation and library, or in his own statero der the exhilaration of steady going. Dinner comes on apace and he may take his time for it. Then the smoke room and the solace of the weed. Good beds in a steel-clad bed- room, gliding over steel rails yield refreshing sleep. Morning brings the bath and breakfast and the journcey’s end in fine fettle for the work of another day. The fabled carpet of Bagdad has little on this kind of travel, when you are going to a given point. Some busy men make this trip two or three times a week. The fit- ness of the Special is a boon to them. The Pennsylvania Special leaves Pennsylvania Station (one block from Broadway) at 4 0’clock, Hud- son Terminal (five minutes from Wall Street) 3.55 P. M. every day and arrives in Chicago 8.55 next morning. Eastward it leaves Union Station, Chicago, 2.45 P. M. and arrives New York 9.40 the follow- ing morning. he acquired so many honorary degrees that he had them filed in a card-index. “am to address the graduating class of Kelly College to-morrow,” he said to me. “ Will you please write my speech for me?" “It’s completed already,” I replied, “and the windows of the hall are glued down, Just as you rise to speak a gang of men in the uniform of brakemen will enter, each with a Kelly's Kar Kom- panion, and raise the windows with the greatest case. Be sure to wait for the boys to cheer you before you begin to speak.” he reporters?” “Their checks have been forwarded.” “ Any—er—personal touch?” I smiled broadly. “The Eagle Restaurant has doubled its seating capacity since you dined there. Your waiter has described his sensations in Nobody's Magazine, and free copies will be distributed at the door.” “Excellent! But, Mr. Wiseman, I understand that the Street Railway Com- pany refuses to allow us to paint our ad- vertisements on the outside of the cars.” “We bought the company yesterday, I returned. “In a week every car in New York will have our copy running the full length of the broad space just under the windows.” “But the open cars are on now—this is the middle of summer!” “What if it is? We put the closed cars on to-morrow.” Good! Then we're all right.” I thought so, too. It came about that where Kelly went was fashionable and where he did not ge was taboo. He coined millions for the manufacturers of the things he used and wore, and an expert second-story man received a fortune for breaking into his house and discovering that he seeretly favored Airtight Garters. The world of publicity w: Kelly was the Advertising King. his hotel offers me $50,000 to stay there for two days,” he once stated. “Shall I accept?" 0,” said I. “Send your wife—and from this time never be seen together. Keep your paths separate, and-double the reading-notices. It was done, It meant a million a year to Kelly. So many inducements were made to him that he was constantly changing his style of collars, shoes, and motors. He never used the same fountain pen twice, and there was a royalty on every news- paper he bought. I had him dabble in the market, and after a few days if he went into a bank to have a nickel changed into pennies, copper stocks jumped ten points, In the tonneau of his car a phonograph was constantly play- ing the same record—it was a song, the purport of which was to inquire if any- body had seen him. It was the materialization of the spirit of advertising—it was divine—it was Kelly, and he was drunk with the joy of it. And then the climax!
