ANOTHER EXCURSION TO WASHINGTON
VIA B. & O.-The B. & o. R. r. Co will
run another excursion to Washington on
February 18th similar to that of January
22Gd, when hundreds of persons all along
the route took advantage of the reduced
rates to visit the National Capital. They
returned with glowing accounts of the
trip-the many mid winter attractions at
Washington and the excellence of the
B. and o. train service. More opportu-
mites are afforded in Washington at this
season than at any other for amusement,
enjoyment, instruction and sightseeing.
At the theatres are the best attractions,
while public and private receptions are
the rule of the hour. Congress is in
session daily with its galleries open to
visitors, as are also the public libraries,
the museums and the art galleries. Be-
sides these places of perennial interest,
there are the imposing public buildings,
the countless handsome private resi-
dences, the White House. the broad
boulevards and pretty parl s. Altogether
Washington presents its brightest side
at this season, and the patriotic Ameri-
can returns to his home, after a visit,
proud of his National Capital and en-
thusiastic in his praise of its grandeur
and its material elegance.
The tickets will be good ten days,
allowing ample time for visiting Alex
andria, Mt. Vernon, Richmond. Old
Point Comfort and points of interest
within easy reach of Washington. We

LAND.
I've reached the land of corn and
wheat.
or pumpkin pies and taters sweet,
I got my land from Uncle Sam,
And am happy as clam.
Chorus.-O Kansas land, sweet Kansas
land,
AS on my dug-ou roof / stand,
/ look away across the plains and
wonder if it never rains;
But as l turn and view my corn,
/ think I'll never sell my farm.
When first / came to get my start,
My neighbors they mere miles apart !;
But now there's one on every claim,
And sometimes three all want the
same.
My horses. Clydesdale. Norman
stock,
My chickens are all Plymouth Rock,
My cattle, Jerseys-very fine
And Poland China are my swine.
Grasshoppers come and eat our wheat,
Our cabbage and our early beets,
And if you scare them off your place,
They'll try to spit right in your face.
