Missing Pleasures of Life.

In order that they might have some ohoioe, the management of the institution was requested to send • several ohildren and they would be given an outing and be well taken oare of. Twenty-one were aent and the Shandrows decided to keep them all. This Bimply goes to prove that homee in which there are no babies are are missing a good deal of the real pleasures of life.
