Winthrop News: One of the poul-
try fanciers returned from a few
days absence last week and he was
delighted to find one-third of a
dozen eggs in his roost. A fortune
was in sight, as the prices of hen
fruit scared in the 30's and in his
eagerness he visited the coop every
fifteen minutes. To his dismay no
more eggs were forthcoming. The
poor fellow who had charge of the
coop come in for his scoring for not
taking proper care of the nugget
producers, and to save his scalp he
confessed that there would have
been more eggs, but his loose change
was all gone and his credit very
poor.
Granite Tribune: Saloon close,
polls open," or in other words as
Fred. Renewentz used to say, "Sa-
loon closed, restaurant open, ;" when
the council used to wait on him in
body demanding that he close his
pig" at eleven, but the fact was he
never closed it. In this connection
we are reminded Of a deal Jim
O'Conner had with the invincible
Fred. once. He loved cells and Jim
knew it. One day Jim got long
eel and knew that Fred. had fine
string of bass so Jim pulled the skin
off the eel and filled it with saw
dust, then went over to trade it to
Fred. for his bass. Thunder and
bitten Fred. was hot.
According to the Messenger, at a
recent meeting of the Morgan vii
lage council Mrs. Laura E. Kempton,
wife Of R. H. Kempton, filed
notice and claim for damages
amounting to $1,000, by reason Of
injuries received on a defective side
walk. The council recognized that
Mrs. Kempton had some claim
against the village by reason of the
accident and appointed two of its,
members to confer with thelhusband
and wife and ascertain just what
Mrs. Kempton would take to release
the city from payment of further
damages. When we in Redwood
Falls consider the many defective
sidewalks we had before the present
extensive cement system was con-
structed, we wonder how we escaped
accidents and damage suits, and are
led to believe Rthat after all the
cement construction was best.
We don't know where Asa Wallace
of the Fairfax Standard found this,
but he tells it as being local in
cident: An old lady recently asked
at one of the local stores to be
shown some silk. A young clerk
4 showed her some, saying: eve can
sell you this at 80 cents a yard.
The old lady asked for something
better. The proprietor then came
forward and said, "You must ex-
cuse my clerk, madam, he is new at
the business. Here is a very SUI
perior article for S1.25 yard. If it
were not for the fact that | bought
it some time ago we should have to
charge you S1.50 a yard for it, as
you are doubtless aware, owing to
the recent epidemic in silk worms
the price of silk has increased enor-
mously of late" The customer took
the silk A few days later she came
in and asked for some tape. The
clerk said glibly: Here is some we
can let you have at cents per yard.
If it wasn't for the fact that we
have had it in stock some time we
should have to charge more for it,
for, as you are doubtless aware,
owing to the recent epidemic among
the tapeworms, the price of tape
has gone up enormously" Then
she hit him with her umbrella.
