Nels Petersen gave birthday par
ty to a few of his young mon friends,
in the cement factory last week. 1t
was Nels's twenty-fourth birthday
but he gave the boys just as good a
time as though he were twice that
old.
We understand a little party was
given in one of the Kimballton bust
ness establishments last Sunday after
noon. They had jolly good time
too but if you want to know any
thing more about it we'll have to
disappoint you. We have told you
all we found out.
A business transaction occurred last
Monday which brought about the
exchange i'll ownership of a consider
able amount of Kimballton property.
For some time past George Faa-
borg has contemplated leaving Kim
ballton while Joe Jensen of Rorbeck
had expected to succeed him in bust
ness here. Monday however the en-
tire condition of things were chang
ed. Mr.. Jensen aud Mr.. Faaborg
went down to Brayton and while
they were there Mr.. Jensen purchas-
ed the Bendixen stock of goods To-
Gated there. He Immediately made
deal with George Faaborg whereby
Mr.. Faaborg purchased the house,
barn and store building in which he
was located in Kimballton but which
was owned by the former, for con-
sideration of $1,000. Mr.. F4aborg
will therefore remain in Kimballton
and will hereafter conduct his build
ing in store of his own.

says as far as he's concerned he is we'll

The Outdoor Gymnasium,

The nucleus of the out door gym.
rasium is the swimming pool. Swim.
ming was meant to be not merely an
occasional and precarious pleasure
but an inseparable accompaniment of
bathing, cleanliness being achieved
incidentally. A swimming pool, there.
fore, is a fundamental need for those
who have not access to a convenient
stream or body of water suitable for
this purpose. Those accustomed to
the delightfully."- invigorating effects of
the morning swim consider it as much
of a necessity as their breakfast, or
even more
Most artificial swimming pools are
unfortunately built indoors. An in
door pool not only lacks the fascinat-
ion of the outdoor adaptation of 'the
old sWimin' hole" but it also robs one
of the natural Accomplishments of out
door bathing-fresh air and sunshine.
Bathers often spend considerable
time lying about on the banks of the
stream or on the sandy beach, alter
nately basking in the rays of the sun
and dipping beneath the cooling
waves. Powerful impressions are
made upon the body by the contact of
the skin with the cool outdoor air
and sunshine.
The outdoor gymnasium provides
combination of the healing agencies
of nature,-abundance of pure air for
breathing, facilities for exercise, sun
baths, air bath, earth baths. and water
baths. Here one can enjoy all the
pleasure and obtain all the benefits,
and at the same time escape the pub
llclty Of sea or river bathing.
Public outdoor gymnasiums are pro.
yided in some Of the large cities, and
are built by sanitariums, hotels, fac
tories, etc. They should be intro
duced into all hospitals and children's
homes, and no public institution
should be considered complete with.
out one. In the heart of our large
cities, conducted in connection with
the parks. they would be a powerful
means OF antagonising the deteriorat.
Ing influences of city life.

Out Of Door Nurseries,

One of New York's most famous
specialists for children has lately
made plea for roof Fairgrounds.
On one of the roof Fairgrounds estab-
lished for the use of the children Of
the poor the average attendance is
1000 per night. Three or four teach
ers maintain order, and there are
bands for music and dancing.
In the city the roof can be utilized
for an outdoor nursery, which will
greatly promote the health and hap
piness of the children. The roof
should be tioored over for a certain
space, and partitions built to protect
the children from the wind, and rail-
ings or fences put up to keep them
from falling off. Awnings are neces.
sary to protect them from too much
sun and from rain.
Here the children can play nearly
every day, winter or summer. In
these private outdoor nurseries the
mother can keep an eye on the child
rem who are removed from the unde-
sirable conditions and contacts of the
city streets and parks.

TRAGEDY in CITY Street.

On one of the late gray afternoons
there was an almost unnoticed trag-
edy in the financial district. The pig
cons were circling in and out Of the
tall buildings. High above them a
dark spot was swooping in long, easy
curves. Suddenly it shot downward
upon flock of the pigeons like bolt
from bow, and as it rapidly stopped
toward earth it was seen to be a hen
barrier. In its flight it swept under a
pigeon, cutting it out from the flock
and driving it upward. The pigeon
struggled to reach a refuge among
the urns that pinnacle the lofty rear
ward extension Of 50 Wall street. The
hawk proved too strong in flight, soar
ed once more above its victim, stoop-
ed again and sailed away with the
pigeon, leaving no sign of the murder
except a few floating feathers and a
drop of red that spattered on the shirt
waist of stenographer passing along
the street far below. A common
enough tragedy of the air in the coun.
try, but not often seen over city roofs
