Our one thought now is to serve
you in the best possible way in
your Christmas shopping. Every
department of the store has an as
sortment of gifts of satisfactory
quality-gifts that the recipient
will appreciate, particularly when
it is known that the present was
bought at Monson's. Between
the hours of $50 a. m. and 1900
o clock noon is the most conveu-
lent time to shop. There are few
er shoppers and we can give you
better attention.

that:
Judge Kidder of st. Paul, will leave
by the St. Louis boat Monday, for
Yankton, Dakota Territory, where he
will assume the duties of his official
position. He leaves his family here
Forty years ago on the 13 day Of May
1865. Jefferson P. Kidder left st. Paul
by steamer, going south to st. Louis
and up the Missouri river to Yankton.
There were no railroads across Iowa or
Minnesota, and the river route was the
only one the Judge could take without
crossing the country and risking his
life among savages. He was an able
lawyer and an honorable gentleman.
His eldest son was killed and scalped
and horribly mutilsted by Indians, and
his youngest son, Silas. recently died
in California, and the Kidder family of
forty years ago are all dead.

mission Hill Sabbath Bells
BY HON. A. L. VAN OsDEL.

Whittier are the people walking?
Coming from East and vale below;
Some are with each other talking,
Some alone, and in silence go:
Across the bridge and up the hill
Many more are coming still.
Harkl my dear. the bells are ringing.
1t is to church the people turn;
Soon sweet psalms they will be singing,
And then, Of Jesus love they'll learn
Through dear old father Nichols hand.
Who comes to preach at Gods command
Hear the sweet sound, gently falling.
Waited upon the evening air;
It's the Sabbath bells calling,
Men to the sacred house of prayer.
See our dear aged pastor greet,
Souls, come to worship at his feet.
Haste on, the day will soon be gone.
Dark shadows show US its decline;
Like mortal dreams they re feeting on,
Swiftly down through the aisles of time.
Tracing on natures pure design.
A signature of power Divine.
Farewell, sabbaths of early years.
You came apace, but soon did fly;
In memory my faint spirit cheers,
With thoughts of thee, and mother nigh
sabbaths Of peace! happy your flight.
When cheered by faith. with future bright.
