TRIP WEST.

EDITOR VIRGINIA CITIZEN:
Thinking probably some of my
friends would like to hear from me,
| send few lines to your paper.
My daughter and myself left Balti-
more on the 10th of December, at
7:30 p. m, via the B. & o. railroad,
and travelled all night through the
states of Maryland and Pennsylvania.
We passed through Pittsburg and
several other cities, none of which
we saw. Next morning we were in
Ohio and must say it is beautiful
country-nice. neat, modern houses,
level, rich land, lots of cattle, horses
aud sheep grazing along the rail-
road. Most~o the corn crop was
harvested, the stalks having been
cut down and stacked up. Saw
them pumping oil and drilling wells
for other pumps. We also passed
through the state of Indiana.
When about 80 miles from Chicago
we came to vast plain of sand hills
with few scrub oaks. These sand
hills reach for 80 miles. The city
of Chicago is built on a marsh and
this sand is hauled by car loads
into the city to fill in the streets. We
reached Chicago on the second day
out at 5 p. m, and left on the $3.50
train over the Burlington ROAD for
Denver, Col.
We passed through the states of
Illinois aud Iowa that night, aud the
next morning the plains of Nebraska
met our view. As far as the eye could
reach In every direction was nothing
but a vast level plain, not a tree,
except along some bitches few
bushes about the size of your arm,
which looked like willows, and very
few of them. These bushes, or trees
| was told, were cotton wood. These
| plains are covered with weedy look.
ing grass about three inches high
and of yellowish color. Hundreds
and hundreds of cattle and horses
We're grazing on this grass, done
see how they live, but a cowboy
told me as it only rained in the fall
and spring this grass made good
grazing. We also saw numbers Of
prairie dogs sitting on their mounds
These little animals, which burrow il
the ground, are about four times a.
large as a rat and very much lik,
one, has a tail about three inches
long and are of cream color. The
houses along the railroad for hun
dreds of miles are about the size of q
good big hen-house, and about foul
or five miles apart.
We reached Denver at 7:30 tha
night, being out from Baltimore tw,
night and two days. Denver is
beautiful city, situated at the foo
of the Rocky Mountains, is 46 year,
old and has a population of two hun
dred thousand; the streets are per
fectly level, paved with asphalt, clear
and wide. In the business part O.
the town. the houses are built il
compact blocks, with tall and beauti
full stone, granite and brick build
ings. In the resident part of tn
town the houses are separated will

see a woman scowllng over her flower bedz Did you ever see q morbid flower-garden2 One who has a nice looking yard, with plenty of shrubbery and bloom ing plants dotting the green sward, is rarely gloomy person. and never a pessimist. It is sel- dom the owner of really cosy corner" who wants to leave home, and now-a-days, if the boys and girls can be proud of their homes, they find them infinitely more attractive than the life in the dirty town. It IS seldom the wo- mans fault that the yards are full of litter or over grown with
 bushes, briars, burdock, cockle- burs, jinson weed, nightshades, etc. but she gets discouraged when, year after year, her plant
 beds and shrub borders are used for browsing place for the stock, and a dumping place for worn out and broken down vehicles, and small wonder if she gets cross and nagging, slip-shod and run down at the heels" Why should she look any better than her surrouHdings2 She loses all heart. Begin now, today. this week, and clean up and beautify the yards. Commoner.
