FACTS.

Those contemplating trip westward
will certainly do we'll to carefully con.
suit the time tables Of the Baltimore and
Ohio road. Its celebrated fast trains,
its sure connections, and rates always as
low as the lowest, make it beyond all
controversy the best line west. Colo
nists are carried in first class cars on fast
trains, and every possible care is taken
to insure aomfort and convenience.
Trains run through without change Of
cars to Chicago, where direct connection
is made with al leading lines to the
west, northwest and southwest, making
but single change Of cars to Iowa,
Kansss, Nebraska, Texas. Minnesota,
etc. No other line can offer such advan-
tages as the Baltimore aud Ohio.-Ils
costs but very little time and trouble
to learn this, and in the end may lead
to tie saving of much Of both as well as
money. Above all things do not pur.

him up, too. Some horses show their
weakness or tricks that way when they
don't in any other. .
But be as smart as you can, and you'll
get caught sometimes. Even an expert
gets stuck A horse may look eyer SO

Or he may have a weak back. Give
him the whip and off he goes for mile
or two: then, all of sudden, he sits
