Washington a Drawing Card.

The City OF Washington, not only as
the seat of National Government,
but also as the premier shrine of
American patriotism, has vacation
time appeal for the people of which
the railroads are learning to take ad'
vantage through advertising the pecul'
lar charms of the National Capital.
This was emphasized at the ninth
annual convention of the American
Association of Railroad Ticket Agents.
by the assistant to the president of the
Pullman Co. and other speakers, who
counseled the ticket agents that their
advice to millions of travellers should
place Washington at the head Of the
list, not only for cut-rate excursions,
but as a staple attraction that grows
stronger in its pulling power every
year.
1t is a city to which every family
looks forward for one of those family
outings of recreation and education
that are Enthusiastically American.
Here the whole family literally drinks
in with the eyes and brain inspiring
lessons of patriotism and culture not
possible elsewhere. Here all the peo-
pie of this land are brought into a
direct and personal touch with and
knowledge OF their Government, and
here the nationals of other countries
from all over the world come to
better understanding of and respect
for the worlds first and greatest re.
public.
The tugs Of Washington at each
American heartstring are too numer.
Gus to list here, and the railroad ad-
vertising agents see their best oppor-
tunity in catering to this heart inter-

An offensive manner has also been
developed by the beggar. In Wash

where this conversation took place a
street car was stopped to take on pas
sengers. The motorist firmly pulled
the door shut and called the attention
of the two beggars to the fact that
street cars seemed to be running with
their accustomed regularity.
The safest method for the motorist
in city driving or in touring is to keep
to himself and his own party. Even
II he is lucky enough to pick up the
harmless kind OF beggar, he will in all
receive no thanks. There
