Do you know Kirk? Kirk, William F.,
whose Norsk dialect poems have been ap-
pearing in the Milwaukee Sentinel Of late,
from which setting they have been Joy
fully copied by this paper, is a native OF
Minnesota. Mr.. Kirk was born at Man.
kato In 1877. He was brought UP where
he heard the Norwegian dialect every day
of mis- life. While his work as a para
grapher is excellent, it is the dialect
verse, written within the last year or
two that has given him national repu-
tation. MIR. Kirk is now helping the Mil
Waukee boys root for the press humorist'
convention in 1906 He writes:

On the Pike;
With much pleasure will greet you
''Meet you-greet YOU; there's rhyme
Old enough to be sublime
Never mind; We'll have time
On the Pike.

On the Pike,
That Milwaukee wants you chaps
One year hence. We've set our caps,
ana well frame it up, perhaps,
On the Pike.
Well, we guess Kirk can have about
anything he wants if he will write few

Many Of the Indians have already taken
claims on the Rosebud reservation; and

partial to running streams, for they do
not like to dig wells or go to the trouble
Of drawing water. Accordingly their
farms lie almost altogether along the
