Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Skiddoo
Say! I'll be one of a party of six to go before Congress and tell all I know about an upper berth.
And I'd like to tell it right now while I'm good and hot around the collar.
The upper berth in a sleeping car is the same relation to com fort that a carpet tack is to a bare foot.
As a place to tie up a small bundle of sleep a boiler factory has it beat to a whimper.
Strong men weep every time the ticket agent says, Nothing left but an upper, and lovely women have hysterics and begin to make faces at the general pub lic when the colored porter points up in the air and says, Madam, your eagle's nest is ready far up the mountain side.
