A Minister, a Calf and Churn.

A Wisconsin minister tells the fol-
lowing on himself to his local paper:
"A calf and churn are in them
selves harmless, but the combination
under circumstances as below related
is something to be avoided.
Saturday our popular minister
drove into the country to make some
pastoral calls upon some of the mem.
bers of the church AS he entered the
yard of one Of his flock, there wander
ed aimlessly about, with mild eyed
curiosity, three calves. One more
curious than the others decided to in
vestigate the churn Inspection re-
vealed goodly supply Of milk, and
down with squeeze went the animal S
head, with no thought Of retreat.
Having finished its meal it endeavored
to withdraw, and finding that impoS-
sible lifted its head, let off series of
alarmed bah's and started on a wild
career of destruction, everything it
crashed into, settling its head more
firmly. Out dashed the farmers wife
just in time to receive furious rush,
the bottom Of the churn, catching her
squarely in the stomach, down she
went like shot, and over the pros
trate woman Hoped the now
thoroughly crazed calf, banged into
the kitchen and before the minister
and the housewife could grasp the
creature it had nearly demolished the
establishment. The air was full of
flying pans, stove pipes and other
utensils. Oar friend grabbed the hind
legs, the lady the churn, and then
commenced a circus not billed, but
nevertheless funny in the extreme.
First the minister got kicked and Of
fered up very mid prayer: but the
woman in front Of the churn got but
ted and shrieked; things got badly
mixed; everybody was down, with the
calf having the best of it. Just how
things would have been settled no one
knows had it continued much longer
but fortunately the farmer himself at
this juhcture put in an appearance,
and with his help the churn was re-
moved. Our friend, the relator, says,
that he will tackle rain storms, snow
blockades, anything in the pursuit of
his calling, but will forever steer clear
of such combinations as the above"

A Colonial Tea.

Mrs. II. Z. Gudehus and Mrs. l.. V.
Mccoy gave a colonial tea to their
lady friends on Saturday afternoon
which proved TO be a very pleasant
affair indeed. Fifty ladies gathered
by invitation at the commodious home
of Mrs. Gudtlus and, from three to
six o'clock, devoted themselves to
having good time and in enjoying
the occasion TO the uttermost.
As the guests arrived they were met
at the door by George Washington in
miniature, in the person OF Gerald
Ray, who conducted himself with a
stateliness and dignity becoming to
the occasion and in manner that
would have done credit TO the great
general himself. On returning from
the dressing room each guest was pre-
sented with a miniature hatchet as a
souvenir of the occasion.
A pleasing feature Of the afternoon
was the many and varied costumes Of
I'VE olden time" worn by the ladies'.
Those worn by Mesdames Hooker,
Shepard, Cole, Lloyd, Carlisle, Mann,
and Reeves were particularly notice
able on account Of their ancient APP
pearance. Mrs. j. Fl. Shepard was
the lady to whom was awarded the
prize for the most ancient gown.
The parlors and hall were tastefully
and appropriately decorated in red,
white, and blue; flags and bunting
predominating. The hours were well
taken up with singing old time songs,
and spelling down" from words taken
from "Weester's blue back" speller.
Mrs. G.. A. Williams and Miss God
dard stood up the longest, both finally
going down on the same word. Mrs.
Williams was awarded the prize, The
luncheon consisted of Boston baked
beans, brown bread, pickles, apple
sauce. pork cake, tea, and cookies of
the hatchet variety with caraway
seeds.

BROKE HIS LEG.
G. w. Austin, President of the Bank
of Bruce, Slipped on the Ice.

Word was received here Tuesday
afternoon by telephone that G. w.
Austin, while hauling lumber from
Oldham to his farm, had met with a
serious accident. He was riding on a
load Of lum Der about four miles from
Oldham when the sled lurched to one
side. Mr.. Austin jumped of and land
ed on a strip of ice, fracturing his
right leg just below tfe n e e
Joint. He was taken to Oldham
where temporary splints were adjust
ed and was brought TO Brookings on
the train the same evening.
Here he was met by members of the
Woodmen lodge and taken to his
home on Tenth street where Drs.
Hyde and Miller reduced the fracture
and made him as comfortable as pos
sible. Mr.. Austin, though suffering
considerable pain, is at present get
ting along nicely and it is hoped will
in due time be as good as new.

Basket Ball.

Last Friday the Ladies' Basket Ball
team Of the S. d. A. G. went to Pipe
stone to play matched game with the
ladies team Of that place.
The game was called at 7:45 p. m. in
the town hall. The BroOkings girls
began to make the game interesting
by making two baskets from field in
the first five minutes. Then the Pipe
stone ladies took brace and made a
basket from field and one free throw.
From then to the end of the first half
each team added score for score al
ways lead by the visiting team until
the score stood TO 9.
In the second half both teams and
the spectators did some swift work,
but PipestOne was given several free
throws on fouls made by one of
the Brookings girls who lost her
temper and forgot to play the game
which resulted in the final score of 8
to II in favor of Pipestone. Other
wise the game was well played on both
sides. The teams were well matched
except perhaps the Pipestone ladies
had the advantage Of being taller
than their visitors.
After removing the evidence of bat
tie and arrayed in dame fashions
prettiest confections the teams and
their friends again met at the town
hall and enjoyed pleasant reception
from the town boys.
Saturday morning the visitors were
taken to all points of interest In the
town and at p. NJ. the Brookings
team with their friends gave the col
lege yell from the rear platform of the
train and waived good bye to the ladies
who had given us such good time
and who had won the first game ever
taken from the Brookings Basket Ball
Team. A SPECTATOR.

The Little Jubilee Singers.

The Little Jubilee Singers, under

will give a concert at the Baptist
church, next Thursday, March 5th.
These children have given concerts in
all the large eastern cities as well as
in many towns in our own state. Fol.
lowing are some pungent extracts
from their press notices:
"The quaint little figures that look
out at you from the types in this col.
umn are prima donnas, if you please.
1t is rare delight to hear them sing
those simple homely jubilee songs of
the South Caroline rice fields. New

the southern melodies in a way that
astonished everybody. The volume
of song that comes from the thFoats
Of these children is something remark
able. ."-Des Moines Register.
"These two negro girlsoutrank, in a
musical sense, any jubilee singers we
have heard in years and their enter
tainment is worth hearing. ."-Canton

A PAYING PROPOSITION.
Chance to Invest in One of the Best
Values Ever Offered.


wish to emphasize the importance
OF the Alaska Mining and Develop.
ment Co.'S future by saying publicly
that feel sure that no proposition of
such proportion or value has ever been
offered the citizens OF Brookings and
vicinity as the Alaska company is now
Offering.
Brookings has but few sources OF in
come. We need TO seek places of in
vestment and consequent income in
good fields for the future welfare OF
the city. If we had stone quarries or
iron mines, or water power, or coal
fields near us to give us growth by
developing the same we would not need
TO go elsewhere for investment. We
have none. Nothing but farming. If
the city grows IL must bring wealth.
My candid opinion is that investment
in the Alaska Mining 81 Development
Co. will be great source Of profit
within very few years and 1t will
grow and insure life income.
With five years in our district-with
the experience Of testing and seeing
tested every one of the six creeks on
which we own large bunches OF claims,
the spendid promises in the future of
every creek any one Of which is
enough to keep large plant running
