THE SOLDIER or A DAY.

The tin soldier has lost his head,
In q battle on the parlor floor:
"A ball is lost under a trundle-bed,
And the toy watch it'll go no more.
Miss Dolly's hair is almost gone
And one OF her eyes won'tshut;
Jack-in-the-box, he's gone wrong,
And broken is the china cup.
The tin automibile, it won't run,
And the music box, 1t fails to play;
Both heads are out Of the drum,
And the snares are torn away.
The toy engine has lost its stack
The numbers to the safe is gone;
The cars, they jump the track;
And the top, it won't sing no song
The new, red sled has lost a shoe.
The cart has q tongue OF string;
For together they ran through
A fence, that did Mt do a thing.
Lay away, the brave and the gay,
With the drum that no longer rolls;
Nov put them all tenderly away,
With the flag, shot full of holes.

Rapid City and it's splendid
future that he has been I'M
able to shed. He has felt
that the UNION AND WEST
NRN STocKMAN had upon
itself a sort Of a mission or
commissioner dofor Rapid
City and it's business inter
ests, and that fit was made
to say the right thing at t
right time, that the bust
ness interests aforesaid
would toke notice, and see
that a live newspapers in
terests were "theirn" also.
And they are noticing, for
the advertising patronage
has more than doubled
against untold handicaps
and divers, devious and
sundry odds, and the sub
scriptlon has also, grown,
some. The ultimatum of
the old subscribers, how
ever, now sadly needs re-
filing with a paid up slip,
but the paper, withal, has
been appreciated under the
new management by at
least three or four promin-
ent citizens, who are kind
enough to remark that the
UNION is a NEWSPAPER, and
they have become since our
most valued subscribers.
Two or three also have call
ed or written to stop the
the paper, without refer
ence it is assumed to it's
continuous future publica-
ton. Neither have they
referred to the subscription
bill as it fell due. But with
al, the UNION enters the
new year with high hopes
that it will do we'll, and it
extends it's friends and like
wise all others its compli-
ments for a glad New Year.
Watch Rapid City Grow!
