New Moon Wishes.

S~o,slender in the West.
/ looked across my shoulder
And a wild wish stirred my breast.
Over my white right shoulder
Blookeda at the silver horn;
And wished a wish at even,
Telc come to pass at morn,
Whenever the new moon glittered
So slender and so fine.
Hooked across my shoulder
And wished that wish Of mine!
Now, whenthe West is rosy.
And the snow-wreatbs blush below.
And see the light white crescent
Sink downward soft and slow,
Tnever look over my shoulder,
AS l used to look before;
For my heart is older and colder,
Andnow | wish no moret

IT'S a mystery no mortal cen solve.
The cradle and the grave IRE one,
Linked by an intervening chain Of years
Wherein the infants lslgh is mingled with the gasp

Unmindful Of his destiny;
And some seek anne, and on their brows,
Perchance, thelaurel wreath is placed.

have right to vote in the house of rep

to do IN connection with this action
would be to exempt the territories from

changed the plan by which the United
States held control Of the territories.
Mr.. McGinnis strongly advocated the

account Of the leslousy OF old states and
this measure was only intended to miti.
gate one ofthe evils Of the most infamous
system of colonial government the world

objection that the bill would limit the

Judge Palmer opens his work in Sioux

the proprietors of gambling houses and
their game dealers. In announcing this
action the Press says:
In timing those arraigned before him
on charges of gambling, Judge Palmer
notified the defendants that this punish.
ment must not be accepted by them as
any criterion by which to measure the
penalty which will be inflicted should
they ever again be brought into his
court upon similar charge. He said lie
construed the findings of the grand Jury,
comprising some OF the best men of the
county. as an expression Of the sentiment
OF this people regarding this class OF
offences, and was Satisfied that the time
is passing when open gambling
will be quietly tolerated iu Sioux
Falls. The fact that this
city is becoming an educational
center, the judge argued, specially forces
upon the people the duty of seeing to it
that gambling, if it must exist at ali, shall
be confined within more restricted limits
than has heretofore been the case. If it
be permitted to proceed as openly as has
been the case in the earlier days Of the
city, parents will hesitate about entrust-
ing their sons alone in q community in
which such temptations are spread be.
fore them. 1t is evidently bis intention
to use the full power of the law to abridge
the practices which have given Sioux
Falls q worse reputation than even the
facts have warranted.
In days gene by gambling was one OF
Sioux Falls most important industries,
but during it's later career it has been
making vigorous efforts to overcome the
evil. Judge Palmer will render them all
the assistance in his power.
