THE CHILDREN'S HOLIDAY.

 Ones Great Festival.
 Except at the Chinese New Year which comes in February, it Is yer. hard to catch a glimpse of children lp China. Little beggars will run beside you for miles to earn cash, $ copper coin with a square hole in the middle of 1t. worth the twentieth of 8 cent, but children who have parents 0 care for them seem to be kept in doors all the time or only allowed to play in walled yards and gardens. We ussd to say to each other: "Why, where are tho children7 Haven't they got any| But at Now Years we found out that they had. This is the great holiday of all the year in China, when everybody hangs out flags and colored lanterns and sets oil llrecrackers. eve borrowed our custom of drecrackers fu9 the Fourth of July from China's New Year's0 All the people put on their best clothes and the children the best of all, jackets and trousers of bright blue or green or yellow or pur pls, the boys and the girls 60 much alike that you can only tell them apar4 by their hair. The boys of course is braided in pigtail, and the girls is done up on her head with silver pins ee, if she's a very grand little girl, with gold or jade. Thus decked out, the children go walking with their proud papas and mammas and often 90 to the theater. which is . rare treat fGs them.
 Perhaps Chinese children have romp Ing plays together, but they alwaye look as if they wore boxn grown up.- 0t. Nicholas.

 "John, I'll have to lay you of for the 1rst two weeks of the new year You, Harry. will have to lay off a week."
 The speaker. a lean man, stood in . splendid and spacious beer saloon, g place of polished mahogany, onyx col umns, great mirrors and large paint, lngs of beautiful women. Ropes and wreaths of evergreen twined about the pillars and the electroliers and on the passive bar stood . bowl of free

 "Yes, boys" said the lean ma,
 you'll have to go."
 "What for. bossT' asked tho young 4 of the two bartenders. Mechanic ally with his woolen bar cloth he DC. shed the bar till it shone again, ant anxiously he gazsd in his employers face.
 "why. John. you ought to know what for"
 The saloon keeper spoke impatiently 4 fat man entered from the street, ap preached the bar with reluctant steps then all of a sudden turned hurriedl. and departed.
 "Well, I'll be dansed!" said Barterde, John. That's the fourth fellow has done that this mornin'. What's 1t mean anywayY
 "You ought to know what 1t means John," repeated the saloon keeper Its meaning is the cause of your sus pension"
 "Yes, John," the man resumed; you, suspension is caused by the New Years swear o6 of that fellow and thousands like him. All over the broad land, John. countless numbers of men swear off drinking for . year on New Years day Half of them stick te their swear off for . week, and the other half, with just few exceptions stick to 1t for two weeks Thos. two weeks of January, John are al. ways the two poorest weeks on the publican's calendar. He can't pay ex. psnses; hence he retrenches; hence he lays of prudent, industrious young chaps like you-chaps with ti. ru. by, so that they can stand little idle ness without privation."
 "All right. But" said John sulKily- "but ain't got nothing put by. and think It's a shame that my poor wife and innocent babe have got to suffer It this joyous holiday season through the swear off of a lot of foolis. thoughtless men. It don't seem righ, aor just" Bulletin

Only" next Sunday afternoon will be
Of unusual interest to the men of the

the big services of the camp meeting,

for men to get acquainted with the
personality and ways of this evange-
list who has SO deeply stirred this
whole section Of South Dakota.
Bromley evidently believes that the
gospel is a good thing for men End his
appeals to the manhood Of the lei in
his audiences has met with great res-
ponse, but this special meeting for
men and boys gives him a chance to
say some things and to present some
phases OF the truth in a way that
cannot 50 readily be done In the
ordinary evening service. Men Of all
churches and Of no church, ministers
and laymen, men Of all angles Of
personal inclination toward or from
the ordinary gospel appeal unite in
commanding this lecture. Here are a
couple of letters from a nearby
minister and from q pro minent

Death of Edward Alexander

Edward Alexander, a Lincoln coun-
ty pioneer Of the early 70s, passed
away at the home of his brother, Or
lando, in this city on, Thursday July
IA, after having suffered from partial
paralysis for several years.
He was prominent in early days as
a druggist and conducted a drug store
at old Eden before removing to Hud-
son, where he conducted a drug store
for several years. He was a charter
member of Jeptha lodge l2l, A. f.
and A. M. Of Hudson, and the follow
ing members of the lodge came up to
attend the funeral: w. e. Jones, II.
d. Fitch, R. o. Schaher, Tolof Tork-
elson and G. f. LaBar. Worshipful
Master A. R. Jamison of Silver Star
lodge of this city, had charge of the
funeral arrangements assisted by
about thirty members of the lodge.
The deceased was a genial gentle
man, a consistent mason, kind hearted
and a friend of the needy. After suf-
fering from paralysis he disposed of
his business and came to Canton,
making his home with his brother
and family. During the years of SUI
fering he never complained, and
everything that willing hands and
loving hearts could do was freely
given to aid him in facing his trials.
and this loving work continued until
the Grand Master of the Universe
called him from the labors and sor-
rows of life to that home not made by
hands, where the level of perfect life
awaits those worthy and we'll quail
fed.
The funeral services were conduct
ed at his brothers home last Friday
by Rev. DR.. A. E. Buritf of the Meth
odist church, and a choir sang sweet
ly after which the casket was removed
to the cemetery in charge of the
brethren who concluded the services
emblematically and with evergreens
and a lambskin apron, and thus
another pioneer has gone to his re-
ward.
Edward Alexander was I'll years of
age and was born in New York, COM
ing to Lincoln county in the early los.
The writer has known him since 1875,
and among our early friendships
formed in Lincoln county we num-
bered him as one worthy of esteem
and confidence,

The Big Camp Meeting.

The opening service of the camp
meeting was held Wednesday evening
with a good attendance both of our
local people and out OF town visitors.
The large chorus under the leader
ship Of Prof. Myers will evidently
prove itself a prominent feature of
the meeting. At this opening
service there were about two hundred
In the chorous. including many who
had probably never sung in a chorus
before in their lives, for Prof. Myers
succeeded In getting a considerable
part Of the whole audience to take a
place in the chorus. The address by
Rev. Bromley was an earnest and
manly foreword and a key note OF the
entire meeting. We predict that
Canton will like Bromley. He has
none Of the Objectionable mannerisms
Of many evangelists. And there is
nothing soggy or deadly dull in his
sermon, neither is he afraid to laugh.
His is not the style of preaching that
Joseph Parker used to call gospel
made difficult" but very plain, simple
and human. The people who do not
like Bromley, if there are any such,
are the people who were born with a
crouch and hate the msefves for being
alive.
The attendance opens we'll. fulfill
ing the predictions that there would
be a far larger number here than last
year. Ministers and laymen from all
over the south eastern part of the
state and from neighboring states are
already in evidence and more are
coming on all the trains. The excur
sion Saturday will no doubt bring a
crowd. The Parker contingent will
be accompanied by the Parker orches-
ira. which will assist in the music OF
the Sunday services. Nor is the at
tendance confined to Methodist peo-
Pile. Many other denominations are
represented, illustrating the truth
that this Is an Observation-Disclosures
meeting. The opening prayer at the

preaching will be by visiting clergy,
who will be announced at the even
