Another wonderful discovery has beenmade in these closing years of the nine-teenth centurg. by one of the best knownladies of Minneapolis. She has discover-ed a railroad that is perfection. But lether tell it in her own words: "I cannotclose this rambling letter without allud-ing to the charming ride we had on theBurlington road from Minneapolis toChicago. If there is any road in theUnited States or elsewhere which hasmore luxurious or more perfectly com-fortable sleepers, more beautiful, well ap-pointed dining cars, satisfying meals orbetter attendance in all its departments,than this road I have never seen it, and Ido not believe it exists. The arrange-ment of the cars were all so perfect,' andeverything was so quiet that I for onewas sorry to leave them. and determinedthen and there to recommend the Bur-lington to any friends who in their jour-neyings might avail themselves of thisroute' For tickets, rates, etc., apply toyour local agent, or write to W.
