Excerpt from One Way Round the World Perhaps there is no more fruitful field for the study of types than the overland train. The young and the old, the intellectual and the ignorant, he who has been rich, or is, or will be, all fraternize surprisingly. A little company of souls whose lives are tangent at one point, who eat, drink, and are merry together and whose paths lie in as many directions as the Wind's. The Pullman palace cars are not all the name sug gests. Perhaps the pioneer, who crossed in 58, when Denver was seven days by stage from Quincy, Illinois, would not be so captious a critic, but the majority of end-of - the-century travelers are apt to agree with the man who said he hated to pay such a high price for insomnia. At night the sleeper accumulates such a load of dust and Cinders that an early morning riser, if a man, is apt to be mistaken for the porter. He, however, has a fair chance of rectifying the mistake, but when the new woman porter arrives, the women passengers may have to resort to badges for distinction.
