Yes, sir, we're sailors children;
We live there by the sea,
And father went OF with the feet

And mother feels so badly
To have him gone away,
If 'twasn't for us children here
think she'd cry all day.
You see there's me and Bobby,
And then here's little Jim,
He always hangs back cause he's 'fraid
That folks viii speak to him.
He never knew his mether,
She died so long ago,
And then his father, too was lost
In last years awful blow.
And father said as long as
He'd sailors heart in him,
There'd always surely be place
To shelter little jim.
He thinks he's ours for truly,
And laughs and acts so glad
When father comes, you ought to see
Him hug and call him Dad"
But often in the summer
We children like to go
To where the little church-yard lies,
Ihe sailors cnurch, you KNOW.
His mothers there, so always
We put some flowers from Jim,
We want him to remember her,
Cause she remembers him.
When father sailed he told US
To watch for the new moon,
For when it hung there in the west
The feet would be back soon.
Last night we saw it shining
AS bright as bright could be,
And mother says the Lively Jane"
Win soon get in from sea-
You see it's named for mother,
And father says he'd think
A boat that had name like that
Would never want TO sink"
We've come back here to get some flowers,
He loves the violets so,
TIE pOsies amt Of much account
Down by the sea, you know.
So If you'll come and see us
The place amt hard to find,
That little brown house by the rocks,
The cliff is just behind
And if the Lively Jane" is in
With father-you'll see him;
But, anyway, you always can
Find me, and Bob and Jim.

No Cause for Impatience.

Some of our good friends who arc
doing so noble work in the temper
ance cause are inclined to be impatient
when they ought to be thankful and
full of encouragement. 1t is not I'M
common to hear them say: ''The drink
curse is growing worse and worse;'
"All our efforts in the past have been
unsuccessful" 1--WE have tried, this
and that method and failed, and now
we must try another. ~ These, and
similar expressions, often appear in
print, and are sometimes heard on the
Temperance platforms, while in prl-
Yate conversation, among a certain
class of people, they form the staple
of their utterances. But the truth is
that hardly any cause has made SO
rapid progress, of late years, as that
of Temperance. The private drinking
habits of good society have been, to a
large extent, reformed, and public
drinking was never so unpopular as it
is to-day. The ban that has been put
upon the liquor traffic, together with
the war made upon IL by men ana
women, exhibit it as a business that
must within short time, be reduced
to helplessness, if not entirely extermi-
mated. - United Presbyterian.
THE National Temperance AdCocGte
says: at is authoritatiyely stated by
those best informed that the Liquor
Dealers Association of this country
has expended within the past year
more than 5000. 900 to defeat constitu-
tional prohibition in Michigan, Texas,
Tennessee and Oregon, and in fight
ing Temperance legislation in the
various State, and especially in re-
versing the verdict of Atlanta"

Don Dickinson Quite Sick.

WASHINGTON, Oct. is. Postmaster
General Don Dickinson is the latest ad-
dition to the sick list. He is down with
a heavy cold on his lungs, and the attend
ing doctor fears that pneumonia may set
in. Mr.. Dickinson has never been in ro-
bust health since he came to Washing
ton. He has had two or three attacks,
but has always recovered from them in
time to set al rest the fears of serious
consequences. He is a nervous man and
his interest in the political campaign
does not help him any. The aim of the
doctor is to prevent the appearance of
symptoms of pneumonia. 1t will be two
or three days before any definite state
ment can be made,

The Electric Light Company's Artesian well.
The above cut was engraved from a photograph taken a few
hours after the well was completed. 1t conveys a good idea of the
original, and also of the other great well which supplies Yankton
with an abundance of the best water for all purposes.
1t S believed that in these wells, which can be easily secured at
comparatively light cost, Yankton has a resource that will build up
here a great Manufacturing centre. Already are there Indications of
growth in her Manufacturing interests, and the signs are propitious
for the future.
1t is further believed that the location of Yankton in the midst
of the most fertile and most healthful section of the great Northwest,
must build up here some of the leading Educational Institutions of
the country. Already a grand start has been made in this direction
and Yankton College is rapidly going to the front. Our public schools
are among the very best and are attracting wide spread interest. In
the growth of Manufacturing and increase of educational institutions,
Yankton is bound to make a prosperous aud healthful growth.
