Decoration Day Exercise

Tuesday, May Both is decorat-
ion Day at the new cemetery,
and also the day for the election
of new officers. The Marion GEM
etery Association is very anxious
to have every lot owner at the
Cemetery on that mo rning, at 9
O'Clock. We want you to see the
the work we have been doing
and what remains yet to be done
to make the place look as it should.
We have bought more land
during the past year, and this
has brought our fund very low,
and kept us from doing work on
the walks and drives that needs.
to be done. We have done the
best we could with what funds
we had. We must have your
help this year. We want every
one to come prepared to pay in
their assessment for care of lots.
at this meeting. By doing this
it means much time saving to the
officers of the association. These
officers are all business people,
and have but little time TO devote
to this work other than taking
time from their business. Show
your appreciation of them and
their efforts, by paying on this
day. They do not receive one
penny for their work or time.
The prices for care of lots will
remain the same, as our expen-
SEES will be heavy this coming
year. 1t is $500 per year for
single occupied lot; 81. so for un-
occupied lot: $500 for two lots
adjoining, both occupied. This
is a very little, when you think
of what it means. This helps to
care for the drives, walks, ETC.,
as well as your own lot. To
beautify the place as it should be
it must be uniformly kept.
Some lot owners have never
contributed to this wsrk, many
others have already responded
literally and regularly, and the
Association wishes to express
their appreciation of this. Many
of these live in the county and
other towns, yet when reminded
Of the work for the coming year,
they are always ready with their
part.
On next decoration day, we
ask that all the Sunday Schools
take part in the exercises, and
that all meet at the court house
yard, and go in a body. Our
ministers will be the speakers on
this Occasion, and Mr.. J. w.
Blue will represent the associa-
ton.

Mine is" Daylight paused and
wrote. Il see that thousand and raise

The Virgin, standing behind him,
then did what mans best friend was
not privileged to do Reaching over
Daylight's shoulder, she picked up his
hand and read it, at the same time
shielding the faces of the cards close
to his chest. What she saw were
three queens and a pair of Fights, but
nobody guessed what she saw.
Every players eyes were on her face
as she scanned the cards, but no sign
did she give. She laid the hand face
down again on the table and slowly
the lingering eyes withdrew from her,
having learned nothing
Macdonald smiled beneTolently. II

Campbell had thrown up his hand

and he plays accordin'. see that

draw"
In a dead silence, save for the low
voices of the three players, the draw
was made Thirty-four thousand dol
lars were already in the pot, and the
play possibly not half over. To the
Virgins amazement, Daylight held up
his three queens, discarding his Fights
and calling for two cards. And this
time not even she dared look at what
he had drawn. She knew her limit
of control. Nor did he look The two
new cards lay face down on the table
where they had been dealt to him.
Got enough was the reply.
"You can draw if you want to, you
know" Kearns warned him.
Nope; this'1 do me-
Kearns himself drew two cards, but
did not look at them. Still Harnish let
his cards lie.
''I never bet in the teeth Of a pat
hand" he said slowly, looking at the
saloon keeper. "You-all start her roll

Macdonald counted his cards care
fully, to make doubIy sure it was not
a foul hand, wrote a sum on a paper

And howl he did, like lone gray
timber wolf, till the Virgin thrust her
pretty fingers in her ears and shiv-
cred. A minute later she was whlrled
away in his arms to the dancing floor,
where, along with three other women
and their partners, rollicking Vir-
ginia reel was soon in progress.
Few men knew ELAN Harnish by any
other name than Burning Daylight, the
name which had been given him in the
early days in the land because of his
habit of routing his comrades out of
their blankets with the complaint that
daylight was burning. Of the pioneers
in that far Arctic wilderness, where
all men we're pioneers, he was reck-
oned among the oldest. Men like AL
Mayo and Jack McQuestion antedated
him; but they had entered the land by
crossing the Rockies from the Hudson
Bay country to the east. He, however,
had been the pioneer over the Chilcoot
and Chilcat passes. In the spring of
1883, twelve years before, a STRIPPING
of eighteen, he had crossed over the
Chilcoot' with five comrades In the
fall he had crossed back with one.
Four had persisted by mischance in the
bleak, uncharted vastness. And for
twelve years Elan Harnish had con-
tinued to grope for gold among the
shadows of the Circle. Heroes are
seldom given to hero-worship, but
among those of that land, young as he
was, he was accounted an elder hero.
In point Of time he was before them.
In point of deed he was beyond them.
He was a striking figure of man,
of all the men in the Tivoli Soft
tanned moccasins of moose-hide, bead
ed in Indian designs, covered his feet.
His trousers were ordinary overalls,
his coat was made from a blanket
ong-gauntletted leather mittens, lined
with wool, hung by his side. They
were connected, in the Yukon fashion
by a leather thong passed around the
