of all bis heart and told of Bruns-

oonld nut make a epceoh. “You have
selected me to collect from those who
signed this list and I am going to 00l-
Itet it, t ha’’s all, gentlemen,” This

was harmonious from start to finish
and bids fair to be a blessing for
BruoßWlok.

be good on the Coast Line and oh tbe
Richmond, Fredericksburg and Po
tomac. The same book will be good
from Tampa to Montgomery to Rich
mond or Washington. The agreement
became effective Monday.
Interchangeable mileage has lung
been ardently deelred by those who
travel a great deal, and every stey to
ward it la welcomed by this class.
A of all roads In
the Southeastern section would gladden
the hearts of traveling men, but, as
there seems to be no pro;peet of getting
that, they are joyed to have the . three
lines mentioned agree to accept mile
age books sold by any one of them.
