GREELEF'S RIDE WITH HANK
MONK.

BY JOAQUIN MILLER.
The old stage-drivers of the brave old days!
The old stage-drivers with their dash and
trust!
These old stage-drivers they have gone their
ways,
But their deeds live on, though their bones
are dust;
And still many a campfire tale is told
Ofthese daring men In the days Of gold.
OF honest old Monk and his Tally-Ho,
When he took good Horace in his stage to
climb
The high Sierras with the peaks of snow
And cross to Nevada, "and come in on time,"
But the canyons below were so deep-oh! so
deep
And the summit above was SO steep-ohi SO
steep.
The horses were foaming. The summit ahead
Was as steep the stars on Il still, clear
night,
And sleeper and sleeper the narrow route led.
TIL up to the peaks of perpetual white;
But the faithful old Monk with his face to the
snow,
Sat silent and stern on his Tally-Ho
Sat silent and STILL and sat faithful and true
To the great, good man in his charge that
day;
Sat vowing the man and the mail must go
through
On time," though he bursted both trace and
stay;
Sat. silently vowing. in face of the snow;
But the way was so steep, and so slow-oh! so
slow.
The bleak pines were black; the bright silver
peaks
Were silver worlds, singing of heaven and
home;
Great eagles swooped by with bright, shiny
beaks;
The far waters called from their canyons OF
- gam
Then, sudden ert-popping head snowy
white -4-ays,
"Mr. Monk. 1 must lecture in Nevada
nightr'
With just one thought that the mail must go
through
With just one word to tns to.at good man
But weary-so wsary-the stage wheels drew
AS only the weary old stage wheels can
When again shot the head, and it shrieked
outright:
"Mr. Monk, must lecture in Nevada to-
night"
Just then came the summit! And the world
1t was Hank Monks world But he no word
spake.
He pushed back his hat from the high peaks of
snow!
He threw out his foot to the great strong
brake!
He threw out his silk! He threw out his
relns!
And the great wheels reeed as If reeling Off
skens!
The eagles were lost in the crags up above
The horses flew swift as the swift light OF
morn
The mail must go through with It's message Of
love,
The miners were waiting his bright bugle
horn.
The man must go through! And Monk made
VOW
AS he never had failed, why he wouldn't fail
How his stage spun the peaks like far spi-
der's web.
1t was spider and fly In the heavens up there;
And the swift swirling wheels made the blood
flow and ebb,
For twas death in the breadth of a wheel or
hair.
And SO out popped the head, and the piping
voice cried:
''Mr. Monk! Mr.. Monk!" But no Monk re-
piled,
Then the good stage swung. as If swung from
the sky;
Then it dipped like ship in the deep jaws of
death;
Then the good man he gasped as men gasping
for breath,
When they deem It is coming their time to
die
And again came the head, like battering
ram,
And the face 1t was red, and the words they
were hot;
"Mr. Monk Mr.. Monk 1 don't care -
Whether lecture in Nevada or notr,

Sweet Minded Woman.

There is no human method of calculation
whereby we can arrive at any adequate
conception of the influence, both for good
or evil, of women. She can and does make
her power be felt in every realm of earthly
existence, and the beauty and excellence
of this power as displayed in sweet-minded
women, consists in the fact that in so many
cases she wields it unconsciously. She
possesses very charm of infatuating in
fuence, whose charm would vanish did she
but realize it's power. The self-sacrifcing
principle that prompts it is the very essence
of her womanly glory. 1t is to her that
friends come in sickess and sorrow for help
aud comfort. One soothing touch of her
kindly hand works wonders in the feverish
CHILD one word let fall from her lips raises
the load of grief that is crushing SORROW
ing sister and helps her to look up again.
The tired husband worn out with the busi-
ness Of the day returns home feeling cross
with himself and everybody else, but as soon
as he meets his wife's smiling face, he sue
cumbs to her soothing influence, which, as
a balm of Gilead, heals his wounded spir-
its.
In the language of another "We are all
wearied with combating with the realities
of life. The rough schoolboy flies in rage
from the taunts of his companions to find
solace IN the mothers smile the little one,
full of grief with its own large trouble,
finds haven of rest on it's mothers breast
and so one may go on with instances of the
influence sweet-minded woman has in the
social life with which she is Connected
Beauty is an insignificant power when COM
pared with hers. s."-Portsmouth Enterprise.

Keep sweet your breath-if maid or wife,

1t seems strange, and your true-blue
Republican would deny the charge, yet it
is the truth all the same, that the Repub-
licans are now the political Bourbons-
reactionary party-while the Democrats
are recognised as the party of progress.
The Republicans are foundering in the
bitches dug during the war, in the grooves
in which the machine so successfully glided
during the era Of reconstruction, while the
Democrats have gotten out of all the old
ruts and placed themselves in accord with
the new political generation. Richmond

WE believe that great majority of Re-
publicans are now glad that Mr.. Cleveland
was elected. 1t is evident that the affairs
of Government are more economically ad-
minstered than formerly. The army and
navy are being regulated. Land grabbers
are forced to give up the lands of which they
had taken forcible possession. The Govern
ment does not seem to be so much per-
sonal thing as it did when in the hands of
Republicans. Heretofore the success of the
party seemed to be the first thing looked
at. Now the common good of the whole
country seems to be kept in view. Hence,
there is much less bitterness and strife
than formerly. All is peace and quiet

Christly Work.

Two years ago Miss Strachn hired a
house on Twenty-seventh ST., just west
Of Sixth avenue. Twenty-seventh st.
was then one Of the worst IN the whole
district. Every house was in bad odor
with the police. No. 1O3 had a balcony,
and Miss Strachn and her helpers sat
on it in the summer evenings and sang
gospel hymns. She fitted the parlors
up as a sort Of chapel and held services
Of song and prayer there. Wanderers
were all welcome. Even drunken men
were cared for.
After a while the women OF
the neighborhood began to
comeln QUITO curiosity. Some Of them
came again and. became interested.
They grew afraid and ashamed of their
old lives, and Miss Strachp helped them
to a new life; lis men and women have
been helped in this way in two years,
and 61O Of them are at work in
honest callings. The one housebecame
too smallfor the growing work, and
loasTas dedicated to the same use,
This meagre outline of the labor OF
many days and nights shows what one
practical woman, thoroughly in earn
est and gifted with some tact, can do
in this city for the reformation of some
OF It's worst elements. 1t is by such
men and women as Jerry McAuley and
Miss Strachn that neighborhoods like
this in the Twenty-ninth precinct can
be cleansed and purified. The police
can scatter evil-doers; these people
turn evil-doers into well-deers.-New

Animal Meeting of the Central Dakota

CLARK, d. r., June II. 1Ss

Tie annual meeting Of the Central
Dakota Press association will convene
at Watertown, on Monday, July 2Oth at
q o'clock p. NJ. All actual editors and
their wives will be guests of the city
of Watertown during the session, free
of charge for hotel accommodations,
and the citizens will give a,grand ban
quet to their guests on Tuesday even
ing. ii: =.
From Watertown the editorial party
will make an excursion, trip, probably
to st. Paul and Minneapolis, although
TINS last is not yet fully decided. The
undersigned is in correspondence with
the Boards of Trade of those cities, and
will visit them early next week, and
the place Of excursion will be deter.
mined and announced in a few days.
That the association will make an ex
oursiol trip to ONE point is definitely
settled, and railroad transportation tc
actual editors and their wives to and
from the meeting at Watertown, and
to andfrom the point of excursion will
be free, and hotel expenses during the
excursion will probably be arranged at
one-half usual rates.
The invitation is hereby extended,
and the sane inducements offered to
all editors residing in south Dakota.
and should they attend, the proposition
will be submitted and probably be
adopted to %reorganize the association
so as to include all of, the territory
south of the 46th parallel under the
name of South Dakota Press Associa-

All editors who desire to attend the
association, should without delay, for
ward their names and the names of
their paper to Frank A. Luse, Secreta-
~, Ordway, Dakota, in order that he
may'nake the certificate which is re-
quired of him by the railroad compa-
MES before they will issue the passes
for distribution. Each editor will also
be particular to inform Secretary Luse
what routes it will be necessary for
him to travel over to reach Watertown,
and whether his wife will accompany
him.
Such a remarkable opportunity fol
