Hurrah for Mckinley !

become deserted owing to the
death blow which it received
from the closing down of the

We look for all purely silver
mines to close down. Is this the

THE KLONDYKE.

The shades OF night we're falling fast,
AS through a northwest village passed
A man whose heart throbbed fast and strong
While on he strobe, nor tarried long,
To Klondyke
His brow was glad; his eye beneath
Flashed like falchion from its sheath.
md like golden clarion rung
That merry warb1e from his tongue,
The Klondyke ~
OF happy homes beset with gems,
OF glorious crowns and diadems
He dreamed while passing others by.
That looked and, passing, heaved a sigh,
For Klondyke
The winter cold ~ an old man said:
Dark lowers the snow clouds overhead.
The ocean tween Is deep and wide;'
But loud that frenzied man replied
'T1s Klondyke J"
20 stay" a maiden said, II pray.
'Tis such long and weary way"
But avrice cleaned bright in his eye,
And still he answered: ''If die
:. 'Tis Klondyke ~
Beware the scuryy's awful drain,
Beware the nights aud days OF pain"
This was the last bit OF advice.
The traveller answered In a trice,
'Tis Klondyke 80
A year rolled by and still he worked.
And not trial of hardships shirked;
No word OF failure home he sent,
But faithfully his efforts spent.
In Klondyke
His eyes grew dim, he suffered, too,
Hunger came and cold winds blew;
While not place to ease the pain,
He knew in all that wide domain.
Twas Klondyke
He thought of home and babes and wife
And wondered IL again in life
He'd see them-as the fever's pace
Seemed burning through his pallid face
In Klondyke
A few weeks more, a nameless grave
Repaid the efforts. sad and brave.
He'd made for fortune-fickle dame
Since first he'd left his home and came
To Klondyke
