cling to the graden wall
Outside, where the grasses grow;
Where the tall weeds Haunt in the sun,
And the yellow mulleins blow.
The dock and the thistle crowd
Close TO my shrinking feet,
And the gypsy yarrow shares
My cup and the food l eat.
The rude winds toss my hair,
The wild rains beat me down,
The way-side dust lies white
And thick on my leafy crown.
l can not keep my robes .....
From wanton fingers FREQ,
And the veriest beggar dares
To stop and gaze at me.
Sometimes climb and CLIMB
To the top Of the garden wall,
And l sec where she stands,
Stately and fair and tall
My sister, the red, red Rose,
My sister. the royal one,
The fairest flower that blows
Under the summer sun
What wonder that she is fair?
What wonder that she is sweet2
The treasures of earth and air
Lie at her dainty feet
The choicest fare is hers,
Her cup Is briinmed with wine;
Rich are her emerald robes,
And her bed is soft and fine.
She not lift her head
Even to sip the dew;
No rude touch makes her shrink
The whole long summer through.
Her servants do her will;
They come at her beck and call.

On Attending Church.

Mr.. EDITOR.
Permit me through your columns tt
address myself to those who have not
recently made it q point to attend the
public services of the sanctuary
| fear that there are many who i'll the
west forget the good old ways. L,
such would make kindly appeal
and ask them whether it would not be
advisable at the beginning of the
year,-a season of fresh resolves-tC
determine upon something better in
the future.
am satisfied that the absence of
many from public worshipis not due t.
hostility to religion. Indifference rath.
er skepticism is the bane OF today. We
are all sensible of the Importance OF
those questions connected with the
souls welfare. And how much more
capable we are, as q rule, to fight the
battles of life when the light of the
sanctuary is brought to bear upon
many of our trials. So David OF old
found and so the men and women OF
to-day may know.
How much depends upon habit!
We build our characters in a great
measure 10y our habits. Business men
have founded their success to a con-
siderable extent by their business
customs and men and women should
endeavor to accuston themselves to
attendance at public workshop. 1t is
easy for parents and guardians to
absent themselves from the house OF
prayer and the younger branches OF
the home to initiate them.
fall these who have been accus-
timed in their earlier days to attend
services: if all the children We're
trained to look npon going to church
as privilege not easily to be relin-
uuished all the churches in the town
w ,uld be filled and say thoughtfully
they ought to be.
Its just possible that there may
be young men who may assume that
the cultured and thoughtful do not
generally attend services and have
given up religion. This is a great
mistake. Take the religions element
out of our vast literature from Shakes
phere to George Eliot and what have
you left? Take the religious element
out of art and what pictures would be
worth preservation Remove the
christian element from our civilization
and what would the residue be :?
1t is no use having schools and
churches in our midst, as communities
if our children are not sent to the
former and we do not attend ourselves
and take them with us to the latter.
Let us have these and let us use them
Let us become living stones in the
great spiritual temple. Let us seek
to growwiser, nobler, truer men and
women and with the intention let
those who have hitherto neglected
the means of grace seek to improve
upon the past and thus wise from the
dead past to greater things.
Wishing you and your readers a
happy New Year. / remain Mr.. Editor
Yours,

Was Johnson Murdered.

Herman Herald: The mystery sur
rounding the disappearance OF Ole
Johnson, or Ole Halvor, two years
ago is becoming deeper than ever.
Two weeks ago we published an ac-
count ofhow letter was alledged to
have been received from him at Win
ssepeg inquring after his claim, etc.
It BOW tranSpires that the person who
stated that he received the letter, was
Arne Bergerson, a brother of Hans
Bergerson, who was last seen with
Ole johnson in Herman and who was
strongly suspected of numbering the
snissing man at that time. Ole Johu-
sons brother lately went to Arne
Bergersen and requested him to pro-
duce the letter. He refused to show
it and has since avoided the friends of
the missing man. 1t is now known
that Hans Bergerson has skipped out
which leads Johnson's friends to sus-
pect that the letter business was a
trick of the Bergersons and that Hans
Bergerson is really Ole Johnson's
murderer. The Iatter's relatives and
friends are much excited over the
matter and last Saturday night they
came to Herman to procure warrant
for Bergerson's arrest. AS the PARTIES
are residents of Stevens county our
officials refused to do anything.
Johnson's friends will not let the
matter drop however. Sensational
developments may be looked for in
the case as Arne Bergeraon's myster-
ious actions are pretty strong evil
Hence of his possessing some know
ledge of Johnson's probable murder
and Hans Bergerson's sudden disap-
pearance, coupled with this, would
seem to fasten guilt conclusively up
on the latter.
