But God has opened them hovf

For we have no mother now.

For your dear face we see no more
More and more each day we miss yous
Friends all think that wounds are
healed,
But the little know the sorrow
That is in our hearts concealed.
We often sit and think of you,
mother,
When we are all alone;
For memory is the only friend
That grief can call its own.
What is home without a mother---~s
All the things a world may send,
For when lost my dearest mother,
l lost my darling friend.
She wore the crown of patience;
Through the years she struggled ora
And those hands that are at rest for,
ever.
Are the hands that made our home
Soft and bright the stars are shinings
Spreading Ger lonely grave
Where lies the one we loved so dearly,
Whom we tried so hard, but could.
not save.
What is life withoug your mother?
And all the things a world may
send
For when we lost you, darling mother
We lost our best and dearest
friend.
Sadly missed by two daughters, SON
and friends.

Mother, dear mother, the years have

Since I last listened to your lullaby

Since then and unto my soul it shall

ROCK NE TO SLEEP

Backward, turn backward, o Time
in thy flight,
Make me child again just for to-
night!
Mother, come back from the echoless
shore;
Take me again to your heart as of
yore;
Kiss from my forehead the burrows
of care;
Smoothe the few silver threads out
of my hair;
Over my slumbers your loving watch
Rock me to sleep, mother, rock me
Backward, flow backward, o tide of
the years!
l am so weary Of toll and of tears
Toll without Eecompense, tears all in
Take them and give me my childhood
again!
I have grown weary of dust and de-
cay,
Weary Of flinging my soul-wealth
away;
Weary of sowing for others to reap
Rock me to sleep, mother, rock me
to sleep!
Tired of the hollow, the base, the
untrue;
Mother, o mother, my heart calls for
you!

IN MEMORIAM

In loving memory of dear mother
and friend, Mrs. NJ. A. King, died
July 10, 1921.
A precious one from US has gone,
A voice we loved is still;

That never can be filled.

left US,
And your smile we see no more;
Our hearts are filled with sadness,

WEALTHY MEN
GOOD PRISONERS
RICH MANUFACTURERS IN JAIL
FOR VIOLATING SHERMAN
ANTITRUST LAW.

Newark, N. j. Jan. 1S.-Four
wetlthy manufacturers, powers in
tile, crate and mantel industry, the
first men ever to go to Jail for vio-
lating the Sherman anti-trust law.
have been pronounced model prison
ers by Richard McGuinness. warden
of the Newark Street Jail, where
they are spending four months.
The quartet, Frank. H. Hobbe,
Arthur Shilstone, Albert Shaile and
Herman Petri. who recently pleaded
guilty to eliminating competition aft
or their activities had been unearth-
ed by the Lockwood legislative COM
mittee in New York. apparently are
quite content with prison fare. AL
though their funds are sufficient to
supply them daily with an outside
cateress products, they seldom sup
plement the prison menu with any
thing but pie. All have developed a
strong taste for this form of sweet
meat and the pieboy never misses
them on his daily round of the tiers.
Occasionally, said the warden to-
day, we have a particularly fine roast
or fowl down at the staff dinner
room, and we will send some OF the
meat up to them. They could, OF
course, have meals sent in from the
outside, but they seem satisfied with
our regular food. That ] take as
compliment to our kitchen.
The quartet are all house in one
large cell in the hospital wing, be-
cause one of their number is suffer-
ing from an illness which requires
constant medical attention. There
fore. they do not come into daily
contact with the other prisoners,
murderers, burglars, and petty thiev-
es.
When visitors call, however, the
four must follow prison routine and
receive their visitors in the prison
center or general entertainment
room. On such days this center Is
uncomfortably crowded.
The four men of wealth while
away the hours much as they would
do in their clubs. They have Their
pipes their newspapers and their
cards. But instead of looking out on
the avenue through glass crystal
clear they gaze through bars upon
the historic Morris canal, as from a
feudal acstle.

Yankton, jan 1S.-Payment of

they will be audited in cycles of l.
