Dollar for a Dear Heart.

She was ready for seepas she lay on my arm
In her little frllled cap so fine.
With her golden hair falling out at the edge.
Like circle OF noon sunshine;
And hummed the old tune Of "Banbury Cross
And Three Men Who Put Out TO Sea-
When she .leepily said. us she closed her blu
eyes:
Papa, what would you take for m7?"
And answered, "a dollar. dear little heart"
And She slept. baby, weary with play,
But held her warm In my love strong arms,
And rocked her, and rocked away.
Oh. the dollar meant all the world to mo.
The land. the sea and the shy.
The lowest depth of the lowest place.
The highest of all that's high
All the cities with streets and palaces,
With their people and stores of art.
would not take for ore low soft throb
OF my little ones loving heart;
Nor all the gold that was ever found
In the busy weAlth-iiuding past
Would take for one smile of my darling's face
Did know it must be the last
SO rocked my baby, and rocked away,
And felt such a sweet content,
For the words of the song expressed more to mt
Than they ever before had meant,
And the night crept on, and slept and dreamed
OF things far too gladstone to be,
And walked with lips saying close to my ear,
"Ihpa. what would you take for me:'

He also referred to finding a pic

In consequence of Herbert Glad

death sentence of murderer Rayner,
concerning whose sanity doubts ex-
sist, be commuted to Imprisonment

the barbarity of British criminal
laws has been undertaken in Lon

as Representing highly influential
classes in British society demand
that the capital penalty be abolished
A yielding to tendencies that are
felt in greater or less degree all ovel

plain fact that to put to death does
not exercise deterrent effect OF

G. A. r Encampment at Wilmot

Wilmot has been in gala
attire Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday of this week, the occasion
being the division encampment
of G. A. R. and to say that the
old town outdid itself in the
matter of hospitality and
decoration would be drawing it
mild. The town was brilliant
with bunting and flags; the
Browns Valley band discoursed
sweet music, while the visitors
were entertained with games,
races, base ball and other sports.
The visitors were made to feel
that they had been given the
freedom of the city and that the
keys had been thrown down in
to the sewer. Large crowds
were present every day. The
orator of the day. Wednesday
was Frank McNulty, of Sisseton
and Thursday Philo Hall was to
have been present to deliver an
address but failed to appear and
his place was filled by Major
Clay Carpenter, who won honors
and applause Today Hon. j A.
Pickler was to have spoken,
What's the matter with Wilmot?

All Saints School.

Miss Mary B. Peabody of all
Saints School Sioux Falls, on
Monday at the Guild Hall, gave
a brief talk concerning the
school. This school offers a
high grade course at moderate
cost. The curriculum includes:
Art, ssmusic vocal and instrument
tai and the regular primary,
intermediate and academic
courses. The school which was
modestly begun in 1885 has
gained each year a firmer hold
upon the confidence of parents
and guardians and upon the love
of its students. They have been
its most influential advocates.
The spontaneous words of
commentator, often dropped in
passing remark, have proved it's
best advertisement. Patronage
has consequently increased.
The main building has been
twice e llarged, and there have
been added. besides, a gymnas-
ium and an infrmary, b. tn of
them attractive and we'll planned
buildings.
The institution is conducted
under the belief that the Epis'
copal church carries with it a
characteristic method of genera
as well as Of religious education
and also a tone which are mos
valuable. At the same time {
spirit of generous sympathy
with all Christian bodies is cult
waited in the school and nothing
is permitted in the chape
services and instructions which
would seem to reflect upof
them.
Graduates from the colleg,
preparatory course are admitted
without examination to some o.
the foremost colleges and uni
versities.
Pa ants casting about for
suitable school for their girls Cal
find nothing better than AL

are always welcome.
