The most SIMPLE, ECONOMICAL and EFFECTIVE device of its kind in use.
It cannot be detached from the box; is not liable to be broken by the
rough usage box lids are subjected to; will close from the jar of the
train if left open; is all made of cast iron, and requires no fitting
after it leaves the foundry.

The best endorsement of "The Hewitt Box Lid" is the large number of
them now in use, and we especially refer to those Railroad Companies
who have had it =longest in use=, as to its merits.

It warms the floor of the car, and the feet of each passenger.
It permits thorough ventilation. The temperature can be easily

uses less fuel than any other heater. It is in use in hundreds of

PATIENCE
When possible, is, undoubtedly, a gem equal in value, in some
respects, to the "pearl of great price." It helped Job through some
rough experiences. But it will be scarcely available to most of the
good people of this country when they come to know of the Royal Arch
grandeurs awaiting their enjoyment at the charming Summer Resorts in
Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa, where they are as thick as diamonds in
Golconda all along the lines of that _Great Bonanza Railway_, whose
other name is
CHICAGO, MILWAUKEE & ST. PAUL,
unless they can get at them "right away quick." _Then_ they cannot
control their
IMPATIENCE
to at once view those delightful spots,--
"Where breezes baffle heat;
Where shaded dells and mossy coverts be;
Where giant trees to heaven raise their heads;
Where earth is free, and nature unconfined
Fills the soul with reverence."
* * * * *
_Then_
Conceive me if you can
In a fairy summer land,
Where weary bones find rest
In loose and careless dress,
A jolly, contented old man.
In plain prose: Those who wish to be enlightened as to matters so
imminently concerning their welfare, can be so far gratified, by
applying (before the edition is exhausted) to A. V. H. Carpenter,
General Passenger Agent, Milwaukee, Wis., for a copy of the beautifully
illustrated book entitled "A Reconnaissance of the Golden Northwest,"
and for a copy of "The Tourist's Guide".

TOOTLE'S OPERA HOUSE, ST. JOSEPH, MO.
The reputation this theater has made for itself, and the fact that it
is known as the pioneer Opera House in the West, render it unnecessary
to offer any extended description. While theaters have been erected,
calculated to surpass in beauty and costliness Tootle's Opera
House, few, to-day, can legitimately claim equality, and none can
surpass it in all that pertains to the arrangement of a first-class
place of amusement. The stage is 40 × 67, with an opening 34 × 35,
and is furnished with a full complement of scenery. Recently the
house has been thoroughly renovated, repainted inside and outside,
and re-carpeted; a new drop curtain hung, and the apparatus for
lighting the gas by electricity placed in the building; a new steam
heating apparatus and the water works connection are also among the
improvements; capacity 1,500. Tootle's Opera House is located in the
very center of a city of 45,000 inhabitants.
GRAND OPERA HOUSE, TOPEKA, KAS.
Formerly known as _The Topeka Opera House_, but, to avoid a conflict of
titles, name changed to that of GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
The house was built by a stock company; 300 residents financially
interested; cost $60,000; capacity 1,500; stage is 60 × 67 feet; the
proscenium opening is 35 × 38 feet; eight large dressing rooms; full
complement of scenery; only ground floor Opera House in the city; can
be emptied in _one minute and a half_; absolute safety guaranteed to
the patrons of the Grand; Topeka is the capital of the State, and the
principal city, commercially and politically; constantly thronged with
strangers; resident population about 27,000. Messrs. Wood & Updegraff
are the local managers, but all communications should be addressed to
Mr. Craig, at St. Joseph, Mo.
THE GILLIS OPERA HOUSE, KANSAS CITY, MO.
This elegant theater, rapidly approaching completion, is being erected
under the provisions of a will which requires _that the net earnings
of the house shall be applied to the maintenance of a permanent home
for destitute children_, and will be opened early in September, 1883.
When completed, the Gillis Opera House will have cost $100,000. It is
centrally located, being within four blocks of twelve hotels. Nearly
every street-car line in the city passes its doors, either on Fifth
or Walnut streets. It is therefore evident that the Gillis has a
decided advantage of location for the resident as well as the transient
population. All appointments of auditorium first-class; means of exit
ample--three entrances on ground floor, and two spacious staircases,
each 20 ft. wide. The stage of the Gillis is one of the largest in the
country, 42 × 124 ft.; height of scenery 28 ft.; height above scenery
32 ft.; proscenium opening 37 × 46 ft.; seventeen dressing rooms, green
room, reception room and music room. _First-class_ attractions can
safely book a week at the Gillis, and none other need apply; 109 nights
already booked. Population upwards of 100,000.
SPECIAL NOTICE.
SPIES & SMART, 12 Union Square, N.Y., are my accredited agents, and at
all times the open time at the Gillis, Tootle's, and the Grand can be
found on file at their office. I shall be there until June 20.

BIDDEFORD, MAINE, February 3, 1883.
ROCKFORD WATCH CO., Rockford, Ill.
GENTS: We have a little story to tell in regard to the running of one
of your adjusted movements on the Boston and Maine R.R. We sold it and
regulated it a short time before the engineer put it in his pocket, the
9th of last April, and ran it upon Cambridge time for ten months, and
the total variation was only 24 seconds, and then he neglected to wind
it up. Variation was less than 3 seconds when it ran down. He ran from
Dover to Portland, 105 miles a day.
Yours truly,
TWAMBLEY & CLEAVES.
The movement referred to in this letter is still carried daily by its
owner, Geo. W. Smith, on the engine Dover.
