MR.. THOMPSON'S RETURN.
His Experiences In Europe-Where the
Sun Shines at Midnight.

Mr.. John W. Thompson, the president Of
the Metropolitan Bank. has returned from
an extended European tour. He was absent
about four months and during his travels
he revisited North cape in Norway,
which is known as the land Of the midnight
sun. Here from June to the latter part Of July
the sun never sets, and the novelty OF
seeing the luminary Of the day shining
at midnight, and during the early
morning hours, attracts q large number
Of tourists each year. Mr.. Thompson says that
this trip is becoming more popular than
journey through Switzerland. The climate il
SO delightful and invigorating and all the sur
roundings are so agreeable that the traveller finds
the trip delightful one. Mr. Thompson spent
some time in Holland and in Switzerland
While travelling through the Fluelen Pass on tho
24th OF August he had q singular experience,
az the ground was covered with snow to the
depth Of several feet The snow was a good
deal OF novelty to the natives
at that time Of the year, and
as they are reported. so Mr.. Thompson says,
to live on tourists in the summer and snow in
the winter their winter supplies were laid in
early in the season. Mr.. Thompson says that
he had very pleasant trip throughout and
that he returns in improved health. He was
in the bank this morning for the first time
since his return and when it became known on
the street that he had returned he held quite q
reception.

it was the duty Of Germany to as

cially the cultivation of the vine. He declared
that be would embark in no adventures, but
would give Germany to his son as he received il
