What are you going away in such a
hurry for? Ifycu'll stop just a few
minutes longer I'll pop"
But George was thrashing around
the storm house, and jabbing the door
all over TO find the latch. He finally
burst a hinge off and was kiting
down the path like a frightened deer,
when his girl stuck her head out
into the frosty air, and bawled SO
that che could be heard nearly a
block away
"Say, george! If you'll come
back, I'll pep some corn!!"
George came back.-Rurlington

The dispatches this week indicate
IL of the heaviest storms and worst
bllzzards of the season in Dakota and
Minnesota. At Jamestown where
most of the people from this vicinity
re located the wind blew with such
fol re as to demolish buildings and
render it impossible for people to
leave ,.heir houses.
Perhals the Kimball GRAPHIC will
now inform. us concerning the pres
ent condition Of the flowers which are
ir @lloom all the year roundr'-
Sparta (Mich.) Sentinel.
The Sentinel is probably as igno-
rant of tin. geography of Dakota as
it Is of the climate of tie southern
part of this Territory. The blizzard
referred to most likely started 400
miles north of here, as it originated
beyond jamestown which is 22o ml'es
north of Kimball. The storm weLt
in a s%outh-easterly direction and
swept v Minnesota, but did not
strike this portion Of Dakota. There
is no country where there is as much
difference IN climate in the
same distance as in Dakota.
South Dakota Is to North Dakota
about the same as Tennessee is to
Michigan. While hat storm was
raging in North Dakota, we were en-
joying balmy days. There, was,
however, a cool wave that reached MS
and lowered the temperature so it
froze a little in the night. To-day as
we write all the store doors in town
are thrown wide open, and many men
may be seen on the streets in their
shirt sleeves.
