A Grand Trip.

To you who have been "cooped up"
during the fall, winter, and spring
months, and have had scarce a peep
at the woods, the wild flowers and the
birds free as air-to you who, accom-
panied by your jolliest friends, would
enjoy brief respite from care and
responsibility in r9stful ride in one
of Pullmau's choicest palace coaches,
northward and westward over the
beautiful prairies Of northern Indiana
and Illinois, across the grand old
i'sFather of Waters" and the bound
less prairies on its western slopes, on
and on over the great western plains,
where once roamed at will the now
historic buffalo, right up to the foot
of that majestic sentinel of the Rock
les, Pixies Peak, who rears his proud
head nearly $4,000 feet into the clouds
to you the following thoughts are
addressed:

proaches it is quite natural that they
who have been closely confined with

should yearn for the freedom Of the
open air atsome quiet country retreat,
at the seaside, OF among the noun
tains.

casual observers, innate lovers of ma
ture, and weary hand and brain wor-
kers, are preparing to take advantage.

quota.
