POETS CORNER
AUTUMN DAYS
BY Florence BOrner

Oh, the happy days of Autumn,
When the skies are red and gold,
And the crispness of the frost is in
the air;
When the rustling leaves are turn
ing
Into colors manifold,
And the golden-rod is blooming
everywhere.
Oh, the happy days of Autumn,
When the summers on the wane,
And the farmer swiftly gathers in his
store;
For the wild-goose flying south.
ward,
With the swallow and the crane,
Tells him winter soon will be with
us once more.
Pumpkins of the richest golden,
Grapes in clusters overhead,
And from hill and vale the prairie
chickens call;
Warn US that old Winters coming
And he's coming mighty fast,
And it won't be long till snow be-
gins to fall.
We have stored, the luscious apples,
We have garnered all the shcaves
And have now begun to husk the rip
ened corn;
And the children all are happy,
For the summer no one gricves,
For the nuts will all be ripe to-
morrow morn.
Oh, the happy days Of Autumn,
How we love them none can tell,
For to US they bring sure and GER
tain sign,
That the turkey must roost higher
Than he ever has before,
Or he'll catch it Just about Thanks
giving time.

Tribute Paid
To Mrs. Pye
My Mrs. Mary Mclean

Upon my return from the east
September 3rd, saw by the Bis
marck Tribune that Mrs. William
Pye had passed away at the home of
her son, in Hollywood, Cal. Mr.. and
Mrs. w. M. Pye were among the very
early pioneers Of Bismarck, having
come to the city in the fall of 1873.
Mrs. Pye was one of the most active
ladies in the Presbyterian church
having associated herself in all the
activities of the church and acting
as president Of the ladies' aid So
ciety for Is years. Rev. I. o. Sloan
was the first pastor of the Presby-
terrain church, having come here
about the same time as Mrs. Pye. 1t
was due to his zeal that the Presby-
terrain church was built.
During his pastorate, Mrs. Pye
proved herself wonderful leader
under whose supervision many not
able affairs took place. Chief among
these was the fair held in the church
at which time Jack White, a noted
gambler, bought the entire contents
of table supervised by the writer
of this article, giving SITS for it.
Then he said, to her, "Now 60. and
sell it all over again." 1t was need
less to say the sight of the money
almost took her breath away.
At another time this same Jack
White invited Rev. Sloan into his
gambling house.. He climbed up on
the bar and took down most beauti-
full bible from behind lot of whis-
key bottles saying, "See what a
beautiful bible my mother gave me-
eyes Jack, it is most beautiful
bible, but it's in awful bad COM
pany."
This and many other stories could
be told during the pioneer days
some equally as amusing and others
of very sad nature. I'm sure ]
voice the sentiments of all the
friends of Mrs. Pye when I say that
we are all very much saddened by
hearing Of her death and we all wish
to extend our sympathy to her sons

NORTH DAKOTA Is ALL RIGHT

For the past year and more the
Record has been preaching a doc
trine of faith in North Dakota
Some of us may be discouraged at
times and the future may look
rather black. But we are con-
vinced that in the end North Da-
kota is going to come out all right
and the man who has faith in this
state and backs that faith up with
his money and plenty OF good hard
work is destined to be richly re-
Warded.
There are other men in North
Dakota of the same opinion. One
Of them is the veteran Walt Tay-
Tor. publisher of the LaMoure
Chronicle, who came to North Da-
kota shortly after Columbus dis
covered America and has been
preaching about its greatness ever
since. We invite you to join us
and hear him sing as follows:
Don't tell me that North Da-
kota isn't wonderful state with 4
glorious future just around the
corner! When l look out upon
these countless acres of splendid
corn and alfalfa and sweet clover;
when 1 see millions of cream cans
on their way to market when |
read of a coal strike in the East
and remember that our coal de-
posits in this state number five
hundred billion tons; when think
of these and a lot of other things.
l want to shout for JOY because l
live in North Dakota"
We need a few more Walt Tay-
lors in North Dakota. If we had a
thousand of them here, it wouldn't
be long until North Dakota would
ne considered another California
and folks would be flocking in here
hy the hundreds of thousands. 1t
was the unfailing faith and the
booster spirit Of few Californ-
ians that started the great tide OF
komeseekers to the Pacific Coast

the farm home where he lived since.
Up to the time that he started school

ticular signs of unusual develop
ment. He learned to talk about the
same age as other children and took
about the same interest in books,
pictures and games as other children
do.
''The boy is a normal 8 year old
youth who has studied hard and
trained his mind, and who has been
able to get ahead of the other boys
and girls of his age, in his school
work." declardes J. Wilson Akers,
superintendent of the Bowbells pub
lie schools, who is much interested
in the boys advancement. ellis
mother says that he has received mo
help at home and that his interests
around the place are just the same

with his brother Francis, who is 13
months his junior"
