the parlor. She was a Kimball young
lady of the period, around whose face
there clustered a bang like a stone wall
around a flower garden. He was her
best fellow, an economical young man
in short, a plain, every day sort of a
chap. He dared to venture the re-
mark that he "believed in leaving
everything precisely the same as the
divine hand of Providence had moul-
ded it" ado you realIy-?(we
wont give his name) she asked
"Yes' he continued; remember, my
dear, Eve never wore bangs" "No,
my love, that's SO" she answered, "Eve
never wore much of anything to
speak Of"
We would suggest to the Getty
fathers" of Klmball that they buy for
the town a portable Babcock fire
extinguisher. One of them in the
hands of u nightwatch would do
more service IN putting our a fire
than the best fire steamer could do
after the fire had made good Roadway.
The first five minutes of fire is when
it tells n way or the other. These
extinguishers are always ready for
instant use, are easily kept in order,
cost but little and are wonderfully eff
fective. They can be re-charged in
two minutes and will put out the
worst fire that can start if taken in
time. We have seen them work num-
berless times and know whereof we
write.
Chas, N. Walker who has so long
been identified with the Chamberlain
Register has formed a law partner
ship with G. c. Akin of this place.
MI. Walker hardly needs an intro
duction by US to either the citizens of
Klmball or the residents of Brule
county, having an extensive acquaint-
ance and hosts of friends among both.
His business qualifications are of the
best and he will be a valuable addi-
ton to our long list of live business
men. Mr.. Walker will commence at
once the erection of his house, hav-
ing bought a lot for that purpose.
Akin & Walker will make a strong
team and it will have to be a very
cold day when they don't make Da-
kota dirt fly.
Tommy Lane is a conductor on the
c. M. & St P. r. r. and owns a nice
farm in Buffalo county. On Friday
evening the 30th ult. he arrived in
Kimball and with a friend drove up
to his farm. 1t was arranged by
the two that on the following morn
ing they would drive to Fort Thomp-
son and meet the Milwaukee with the
Mitchell band Excursionists on board
and return on the boat to Chamber
lam. On the trip over to Fort Thomp-
son Tommy jumped out of the buggy
just 67s times by actual count to pick
wild flowers to add to a boquet which
by the time the Fort was reached had
attained a mammoth size. It was in
tended for a certain young lady on
board the boat whose name we have
sworn not to give. The pair reached
Fort Thompson in proper season and
for ten long hours sat in the burning
sun and evening dew waiting the ar
rival of the boat that never came.
When it became evident that their
trip had been in VAN, Tommy threw
hislovely boquet into the muddy wat
ers of the Missouri and
RAISED a sigh SO piteous and profound
As II did seem to sl,atter all his bulk,
And end his being
Then kneeling down and raising
his hand and looking upwards toward
the star light that shone out from the
great hereafter sworc a mighty oath
that never! neyer!! neycr!!! would he
put faith in a Missouri river steam
boat again, and the two misguided
young men with saddend visages star
ted for Chamberlain arriving there as
the first rays of light came floating in
on the wings of the morning.
