There is one person in Luverne
who believes that the local telephone
system is second to none in
promptness anywhere, and that per-
son is VIM. Putnam, jeweler at the
Phoenix drug store: "A telephone
has just been added. to the store, and
Willie was having some fun with the
other operators. Willie was strictly
Temperance, and the boys knew it.
To get even With him on some of his
fun, one of the operators called to the
phone and asked him to call up the
brick saloon and see how it works, as
new phone had been placed in
there. Willie doubted the truthful
ness of the phone at the saloon, but
concluded he would try it. He did
try, and imagine his surprise a few
minutes later when the city delivery
halted iu front of the store with two
beers. Willie says he is going to lay
awake nights!until he gets even with
the Observation-Disclosures News.
Thirteen young ladies from Sibley
chartered a hay rack and three white
mules last Thursday and started for
Klondyke or some other place where
they could have good time. They
reached Worthington and concluded
that this was the place, SO they put
UP their three white mules and their
hay rack and proceeded to the lake
park where they spent the day in pic
mic fashion. About ID young men of
this place, not to be out-done by their
female visitors from Iowa, chartered
band wagon, team, of horses and
a brass band, and procession was
formed at the wheelmen's club house.
After parading the streets for some
time the boys escorted the hay rack,
the three white mules and the 13
young ladies couple of miles on
their homeward journey. OF course
the young ladies had a yell. It went
something like this: ave are, we
are, we are we; we are, we are, we are
the, people, bound for Alaska
from Siblee." The young ladies en-
joyed this visit very much, and have
promised to come again and bring
their three white mules and theil
hay rack. " 4. s. ~
