Capitolo 26

The train we thought to travel from
[Footnote Dagger:  Only raced on division of Northwest.]

Again, intrepid, we look to
  The hieroglyphs, and as a rule a
The small double dagger shows us that
[The footnote SmallDoubleDagger:  Train doesn't stop to Ashtabula.]

And when we take a certain line
  On Tues., Wednes., Thursday., Fri., Saturday., or
    Monday,
We am sure to discover the signal:
