Copyright, 1895, by Mrs. E. b. Mawer
"Open the windows and doors which

veritable opening of the year"
So spoke an old retired officer of the
empire on Easter Sunday. in the year
1850, in his villa at LouVeciennes, where
he had reunited, according to custom, an
exclusively family party around his lunch
con table. consisting of his children and
his numerous grandchildren.

battles, father" said one of his sons.

The looks Of all present were turned
to the vacant place at the table. and to
the unoccupied chair which a pious Gus

mother; then all eyes passed on to the
little tri-coloured barrel, which was care

A Summer Outing.

Where to go for summer outing
Of any extent is no longer (lf 1t ever

road companies offer excursion rates

Colorado mountain resorts, Yellow
stone Park, and far-cH Alaska, are
all to chose froEl, time and money

mands of business and tive size Of
the pocket book, however, make il
impossible for thousands to 90 more
