things pleased me very much. 1 loved
the sea, and was never happy away
from it, 1 used to sit where 1 could
gaze at it all day, and would be put to
sleep listening to the sound of the
waves on the beach. In time of storm
I would walk the sands, praying for
my husbands safety, tossed about by
those great breakers.
"And one day." continued my friend,
sadly, news came of shipwreck and
he returned no more. After that
could no longer bear to live near the
sea. 1t was too terrible. And so I
packed my treasures and moved away.
But l still love to think of 1t, and
treasure all the things he brought to
me- And because you, my dear, have
been interested in an old woman's
story, want to give you something

When I was a little girl, o, quite a
good deal younger than you little folks,
/ lived so far away from the seashore
that / never had a chance to gee the
sea. I did not even know what 1t
looked like, for my mother used to take
me to a little country village to spend
the warm summer. 1t was a nice
place, and 1 enjoyed playing in the
garden, wading the brook and making
mud pies, and so really did not know
what l missed in not going to the
shore. But it happened that 1 learned
something about the wonderful water
before I ever saw it.
Ny mother used to visit in this viii
lage, and sometimes she would take
me with her. / was always very glad
to. go, for the old homes were very
things, and I delighted to wander
around and explore while the ladies
were talking. One place I especially
loved. Tt stood way back from the
road, and the pine trees in fror were
So dense that not much of the house
could be seen. But when we were once
inside, o, what splendid things were
therei Everything seemed t. have
come from a great distance. There
were silken curtains, china vases,
chests richly carved and brass orna-
ments everywhere.
One day the lady of the house, see
ing my delight and interest in all her
beautiful things, asked my mother to
let me stay to tea. Mother smilingly
consented, and drove away, making
me promise to come home before dark.
For SONS time my kind hostess took
me about the rooms, showing me all
her treasures. The thing that 1 loved
best of all was a little gilded cabinet
which contained lovely coral pins and
bracelets, a piece of the coral just as
it is found in the ocean, and many,
many beautiful shells.
'I will tell you how l came to have
so many of these wonders from over
the sea-" said my friend, as she poured
pale tea into dainty blue cups. Help
yourself to cake and JAM my dear,
and listen, If you care to know. Long
ago, when 1 was young, I lived In a
fishing village on the coast OF Maine.
NV husband was a sea captain, and
used to cross the great ocean many
times year. Sometimes he was
away for months at time, and l was
very lonely, but when he came back
he would always bring me treasures
from over the sea. Rare silks and

safely home"
Jack looked anxiously at the green
waves, but ne had faith in fairies now,
and he did as he was told, and the
waves rocked and arose and carried
him ashore.
A happy little boy climbed in the
window and went to bed that night
after that, but in vain.

nardino.
Jackie dressed quickiey and stepped
right out of the window into the lit
tie boat. They padded on for little
while, when suddenly the boat rose
from the water and they were float
ing in the air.
= ''What a funny boat this ISL. ex-
claimed Jackie.
"Where are we going. now," asked he
a little timidly as the air was becoming
damp and heavy.
"Dodn't you know that fairyland was
in the clouds?" questioned the elf.
Jackie strained his ears, for he was
sure he had heard music in the dis
tance.
"Do you hear something?" he asked
the elf.
'eWhy, yes, hear music. We are
nearing fairyland."
The words were not more than out of
his mouth when the air became clear,
and instead of the fog the sun shown

out of the window and stepped into
the boat, careful, however, not to step
on the fairy.
To his relief he did not sink the
pretty boat. Whether he began to
grow smaller or the boat larger he did
not know, or did he care, for he was
interested in other things.
The greenish-blue waves tapped up
the sides of the boat as if they were
having a good time together.
The fairy steered his little boat
along the path of light the moon made.
'Oh, what is that on the rock in the
sea2" asked Jack of the fairy.
The fairy only waved his hand and
a mysterious gleam came into his eyes.
When they came to the rock Jack
could only clasp his hands and gaze
with face full of awe.
On the rock sat beautiful mer-
maid, combing her silky green hair
She smiled-they passed on.
Suddenly the waters opened-not
right where the boat was-and some
thing f1oated out that Jack could not
take his eyes off. It was mermaids
with shining hair floating in the air.
Suddenly they burst into soft dreamy
like singing, sounding like crystal
fountains. There arose from the water
castle like bubbles, only differently
shaped,
That was the most happy night for
Jack. The music lasted for a long
time and disappeared as suddenly as it
appeared, and the little fairy said in
a soft voice: "Iie down on the ocean

REV. MAGIN HAS De.
CIDED TO Leave CITY
RECEIVED CALL TO A LARGER
CHURCH IN STATE OF WIS.,
CONSlN.
Dr.. A. Lincoln Shute Will BE the
New Pastor at the Mccabe Church
Change June IS.

Yesterday the transfer was affected
whereby Rev. Louis Magin of the
McCabe Methodist Episcopal church
of this city. becomes pastor of the
First Methodist Episcopal church of
Lacrosse, Wis.
This is the largest church in the
Western Wisconsin conference. They
have a handsome stone edifice and an
elegantly furnished parsonage.
DR.. A. Lincoln Shute, the newly ap-
pointed pastor of the McCabe church
of this city, is a graduate Of Cornell
college and Drew Theological semin-
airy. He is a ripe scholar of high in
tellectual attainments, being author
of several we'll known books. He is
a brilliant platform speaker and a
strong preacher. He was formerly
pastor of two of the prominent
churches in Chicago.
Bismarck can consider itself fortu-
nate in getting man of such ability.
One of the chief reasons why DR..
Shute consented to the transfer. was
because of the assured rapid growth
of the city. The pastOrate of the Rev.
Louis Magin has been eminently sue
cessful, and he is held in such high
esteem by his own congregation and
the general public, that his departure
will be universally regretted.
The beautiful church is lasting
monument to his faith and untiring
efforts. The change in the passionate
will take effect about the middle OF
June. DR.. Shute will have the resi-
.dence now occupied by the Rev. Louis
Magin.

IN MEMORIAM.

Mrs. Annie Duffy, nee Cordela
Ann Porter, departed this life on
Dec. 30, 1909, at her home in this
city, after lingering illness of
cancer.
Mrs. Duffy was born Dec. 19,
1859, being so years and 10 days
old at the time of her death.
She was married to L. A. Duffy
Sept. 20, 1880, and to this union
six children were born: Howard
D., Alfred NJ, Elwood P, Bertha F =,
James F. and Lizzie c. BERTHE died
at the age of II months and Jas.
died Dec. II, 1905.
Mrs. Duffy gave her heart to the
Savior while young in life, uniting
with the Baptist church, and was
a consistent member of the Bap-
tist church of this city at the
time of her death.
She had many admirable 1nali-
ties, and her faith in God as her
Creator and Preserver, and in
Christ who gave His life for her,
never wavered.. Through, all her
sickness she was bright and cheer
full, never murmuring or complain
ing. She seemed to realize the end
of life was near, yet never spoke
of death with any fears. az
She will be missed from the
community; she will be missed
from her church; she will be sore
ly missed from her home. The
wife and mother is gone, husband
and children are grief stricken,
and other relatives and friends
mourn her departure. But, sad ones
all, let your comfort and solace
come with the thought that her
sufferings are over, and that she
is now in the blissful Beyond,
basking in the sunshine of eter-
nal glory, in the immediate pres
ence of the tender, loving Savior
whom she loved and trusted here.
She seemed to realize the beauties
and joys of Heaven, and one of
her favorite hymns was "We'll
Never Say Goodbye in Heaven"
Sorrowing ones, look to God for
help and strength in this trying
hour. Put your trust in Him, so
that, when called from this world
of sin and death, you can be unit.
ed with your loved one in that
home above where God reigneth

mo parting word shall there be
spoken in that bright land of
flowers, but songs of Joy and
peace and gladness shall evermore
be ours. Well never say goodbye
in Heaven, We'll never say good
bye; for in that land of Joy and
song, we'll never say goodbye"
