SAl00n License.

Our valued cotemporary,t the Bijou
Hills Times, is disposed to eriticise
the commissioners Of this county for
reducing the licensessfor the sale of
intoxicating drinks from $5O0eto $500.
1t believes that the tIisease should be
raised rather than lowered. The
Times does Northumberland. During
the last session of the territorial leg
islature, while our esteemed cotem-
porary, the Register, was vigorously
fighting special legislation (meaning
more particularly any county seat act
for Brule county, emissaries from
Chamberlain worked a scheme In the
Legislature which resulted in a spec
ial law being enacted which gives to
Chamberlain tro-thig0s Of all the
county license money paid by the
saloons of that town. Realizing the
rank injustice of this act-not only to
Kimball but to the tax payers of the
county as well-the commissioners,
or a majority Of them, voted to
reduce the county license 5000 III or
der to enable Kimball to add that
amount to her city license, and thus
obtain two-ffths OF the license money
while Chamberlain was gobbling up
her two-thilds. This was an act of
simple justice to Kimball. No tax
payer in the county will deny it.
While but ene-third $3.50 of the
county license paid by the two sa-
looms of Chamberlain has been going
into the county fund, kimball, with
her four saloons, has been paying into
the county the full amount of the sa-
loon license, amounting to $4,000 per
year. Under the present regime each
saloon in Kimball pays sso5 license,
of which $500 goes TO the county,
$3.50 to Kimball and S25 to Uncle
Sam, This ought to be a high
enough license to suit the Times. If
it has any objections to the division
OF the money, we would suggest that
it turns its guns upon the little ham
let on the 'Blg Muddy whose sa
looms pay but 500 per year into the
county fund.

Some one has figured out that life
is like harness because it contains
"traces" of care, s%'lines' of trouble,
''bits' of good fortune, ~"breeches" of
good manners and 'sbridled" tongues,
and every one has a "tug" to Pull
through a severe cold unless they
take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

The city council have decided to
have the artesian well sunk some
deeper in hopes of obtaining a still
greater pressure. Accordingly work
was resumed Monday. If no greater
pressure is obtained within fifty feet
it is probable that the well will be
accepted as it is. Late estimates
place the flow at $4,000 barrels per
day. The well is now down 1880
feet.

The Philadelphia Call says a miss
is better than a mile because you
can't kiss a mile. Bronson, of Cham
berlain, wont agree in this, for he
knows when he was buggy riding up
to kimball one night last summer he
kissed for over a mile and a half.

school mistress, living neal Britt, Ia,
froze to death while walking to her

people frozen to death in Iowa and
Nebraska during the past month than
there has been in Dakota in the last
ten years, a fact which the Iowa ed

ponder upon.

From the Boston Record


A Frenchman who had been assigned
TO q very comfortable room, was
about to disrobe when there came knock
at the door. Upon opening 1t the an
nouucement was made that owing 10 an
unusual arrival OF guests. etc., the pro-
Drietor would be obliged to put another
gentlemen into the room, and cockney
Englishman appeared. The Frenchman
was disguised, OF course, and at once set
his wits to work to devise means 10 GUST
the intruder upon his comfort. Pretty
soon the Englishman touched the call
button, and when the summons was
answered, said:
"Portah, bring me pair Of large, clean
towels"
The door was hardly closed when the
Frenchmau touched the button, and, upon
the boys appearance, said:
"Garcon, bring me two pair large clean
towel"
The other frowned, performed his ablu-
lions, followed by the Frenchman, when
he a. ain touched the button.
"Portah, send me up bottle OF Bass
aleu-
Freuchman followed suit at once, de-
handing 1.-TWO bottle Bass ale." The
Envlishman was now annoyed, but he
held his peace, and q little later made an
other call upon the porter which was i'm
mediately double duplicated by the
Frepchman. Then be began TO lose his
temper, and after fourth demand and
another-to him--insult from the French
man he struck the button so violently
that the porter appeared again in hot
haste.
"Boy," he said angrily, Ego to the pro-
prietor at once and tell him | must have
a bed in room by myself where l can
rest in peace"
The boy had hardly reached the stairs
when the Frenchman called him back,
aud gestlcul ating wildly made known
his wants as follows:
'sGarcon, garcon, vii you tell ze pro-
prietaire to come her yer quickf BY gar,
| moost hav two bed in two room yer l
can rest mysef In two pisces"
That settled the Engllshman, and his
tormentor had the room 70 himself without
further trouble.

Good Story of a Parrot.
Fron1 the Boston Record.


Sir William Temple tells this about q
Brazilian parrot which Prince Maurice
met in his travels. 81 mad mind" said
Sir William, "to know from Prince
Maurice's own mouth the account of a
common and much-credited story of an
old parrot he had seen in Brazil. during
his government there, that spoke, and
asked and answered common questions
like a reasonable creature. Prince
Maurice said that there was something
true, but great deal false, of what had
been reported. He had heard of such a
parrot when he went to Brazil, and though
he believed nothing OF it, aud it was a
good way off, he had the curiosity to send
for 1t; that it was very great and very
old one, and when it came into the room
where the prince was with good
many Dutchmen about him, it said pre-
sently:
"'What company of white men are
herep
"'They asked 1t what it thought that
man was, pointing to the prince. 1t an

"'The Parrot-l look after the chick

"'You look after the chickens?

well'
"'And then he smade the chuck, chuck

asked him in what language the parrot
conversed. And he said in Brazilian.
asked him whether he understood Bra
lillian. He said no; but he had taken
care to have two interpreters with him,
one Dutchman, who spoKe Brazilian,
and the other Brazilian who spoke
Dutch; that he asked them separately
and privately, and both OF them agreed
In telling him just the same thing that
the parrot said.'"
