WHAT THEY COST.

While few personally conducted exeur-
sions have been started from Texas, such
excursions are very popular from the
large centers OF the East The charge
for passage on such excursions is usually
from $50 to s75 more than the cost for the
trip otherwise. the extra charge being for
the advantages offered for sightseeing
and for attention and comfort obtained IN
no other manner. The Post proposes TO
run Just such an excursion to the City
OF Mexico for the benefit OF It's patrons
without any profit whatever. All that is
asked Is that accommodations be reserved
at once in order TO facilitate the arrange
nents. Call at the Office Of The Post and
reserve your place in the party. No moro
enjoyable trip could possibly be offered.
