Probably pads of papor aD(j pencils are the most appreciated pW ihlngs on the wbolo trip. Qiv eac child who Is old enough a pad ami pencil of his or her own, and theaj furnish unlimited poasibilttie-s. Sometimes at the mot.nor's sugg tlon. houses aro drawn, a plan and elevation of the interior being given and the rooms furnished according to the individual taste of the architect, and nfter the house was completed the residents were installed, from ths father of the family down to the cat and dog. A favorite game with pads and pen-cils pen-cils is counting stations. Each child watched and noted down the stations that he or sbc passed, and often a keen contest would take place for the greatest number of names. It was quite a feat sometimes to catch sight of the name of some little town as the train rushed by and the possessor of the greatest number of names at the end of the Journey wai the winner of the game. Sometimes a contest would take place to count the greatest number of cattle or horses passed, sometimes it was bodies of water, lakes, rivers, etc., but whatever the object, the gamo was one of absorbing interest. In fact, there always seemed to be something to keep the children happy and interested. Every city or river of note that was passed was talked about and discussed so that even before be-fore they were old enough to study the children had a pretty definite Idea of the geography of the country through which they were passing. Thus when passing through the Ohio valley, shortly after a flood, attention was called to the places where houses and fences had been wrecked or completely com-pletely washed away, and the mother would explain the nature and the cause of these floods in a way that would make them remember them forever for-ever In passing through the coal and oil districts of West irginia and Pennsylvania, Penn-sylvania, some explanation of the coal mining and oil wells would be given. Sometimes the place passed through was of historic interest or would be connected with some well known story or legend. The porter and conductor, with whom the children were always on the friendliest of terms, were always able to supply some information of local interest, so that the whole passing panorama was like one great absorbing absorb-ing story book, When no facts could be connected wiin places, t n e cnntiren wouia mauo up stories of their own about thorn, and imagine all sorts of wonderful and delightful things. Children are usually hunxrv i though the trains were always equipped with splendid dining cars, a huge lunch basket, filled to the top with sandwiches crackers, fruit, etc.. was always a part of the necessary luggasr Occasionally connections were missed and the dining car was delayed r for several hours, and then the linch basket came lu very handy Thermos bottles were not as jiopular as now, but it was almost alwas possible to obtain a glass of milk from the porter. The children were seldom cross or restless, because they were too busy lo get tired, and so at the end of the journey the little procession would de- scend from ihe train fresh and clean, in the clothes that had been reserved for the occasion. |
