While down at the Webster Mill the
other day we conversed with two
farmers who said they were within six
miles of Sisseton. We asked if the

Sisseton and they said no, about the
same, bat that they always brought a
load or two of wheat over in the fall
and purchased their flour, as the Web
ster Mill Company made the best flour

A boy was asked to write an essay on
Masonry and here is his production:
king Solomon was a man who lived
SO many years in the country he was
the whole push. He was a wise guy
and when two women came to him one
day each holding the leg of a baby and
claimed it as her own King solomon,
who wasn't feeling good said, "why
couldn't the brat have been twins and
stopped this bother? And then he
called for his machatte and was going
to Weylerize the poor little innocent
baby and give each woman a piece
when the real mothor of. the baby said
stop Solomon, stay thy hand. Let
the old bag have it. If / can't have
the whole baby / won't have any"
Then solomon told her to 60 home and
take the baby and wash its face for lie
knew it was hers. He told the other
woman to go chase herself. King
Solomon built Solomon's temple and
was father of Masons. He had seven
thousand wives and that's why there
are SO many Masons in the world.
