Show I EATING IN A CAR. There's something fascinating in eating in a car. This fact is easily apparent when a person sits down in a luxurious Pullman, and, picking daintily at the delicacies set forth in tempting array, watches the scenery gliding past, the motion of the masticatory implements keeping time to the rhythym of the pounding wheels. But such luxury soon becomes a matter of fact to the seasoned traveler, and the variety wears off and it resolves itself purely into a question of "grub," the best and the quickest served. Logan possescs one little place that is both interesting and agreeable. agree-able. In this, reference is made to the "Car Cafe" located on First North street just east of Main street. Here you find a little cafe fitted up as a car, with all the latest luxuries and delicacies in the eating line arrayed temptingly before you. It is a small place, a very small place, but you find you have plenty of room on each side to swing your arms while cutting a delicious steak, and plenty of room in front for the expansion of those regions which arc beginning to fill out with the good food you arc eating. "Grub" typifies it as well as anything else, in speaking of what you get to eat. But it is good "grub," the kind of grub that makes you want to visit Logan every meal time ; the kind that leaves refreshing memories. While this little place serves all sorts of good things to eat, its steaks arc especially to be spoken of with veneration and respect. re-spect. Those steaks just melt in your mouth. You make a pretense of cutting them with your knife, but they arc so tender that the knife is hardly needed. And when a portion of the steak reaches your mouth and you taste its flavor and it's mighty well cooked too you roll your eyes heavenward and you dream of browsing steers in Paradise, and wish that the man who cooked that steak had a place reserved right next to you in the kingdom that cooks as a rule never reach. It's the place to go to get a good meal when you reach Logan; a place that you will remember and talk of as every one has who has ever eaten there. |
