"A young woman of Minneapolis, it
is said, has taken advantage of leap
year and has proposed to her choice, an
inmate of the county Jail at Minneap-
oils, who is serving five months term
for larceny. The young woman has
taken out license to wed and arranged
all the marriage details.
I'm the Black Hills Journal of Jan.
"a, published at Rapid City, S. Oak,
appears the marriage license of Mr..
Edward Coad and Cora McBain. This
will cause citizens of Mineral Point 20
wonder if this applies to our Eddie
Coad who was recently reported in the
Tribune as taking his departure from
our midst on account of leap year trials
and tribulations

tress, Mr.. Ellengen's famous race

other side out, said lady in dry
goods store one morning as the clerk
was putting up her purchase in print
ed wrapping paper. 81 don't want to

1t is admitted that where the mind
is wholly devoted to one subject with
talent and perseverance, excellence
will be attained. Dr. Brewer has de-
voted many years to the exclusive
treatment of chronic disease. Those
who are afflicted with lingering diseases
should not fail to see DR.. Brewer on
his next visit at the U. s. Hotel in this
city on Thursday Feb. 9th.
An undertaken in the east found a
note stating that certain man intend
ed to commit suicide by throwing him
self from an Atlantic liner into the
sea. The enterprising undertaken sent
a wireless to the ships captain notify
ing him of the mans intentions and
thereby saved the mans life and also
the fee for some undertaken who will
get a job handling the funeral later.
Guess that is boosting ones business.
1t would be interesting to hear just
one sermon from the man who can beat
the preacher preaching. 1t would be
interesting to witness one days teach
ing from the same fellow who can beat
the teacher teaching; to watch the
fellow who can beat the farmer farm
ing. But it would be positively excit-
ing to watch that most common and
delightful kicker" of them all the
fellow who can beat the editor ten to
one in getting out newspaper.
"A lamb with two mouths has been
discovered in a large flock of sheep
being fed near Aurora previous TO
being shipped to Chicago. Since the
freak was discovered letter has been
sent to the owner of the sheep, of
which it is one, asking that the little
woolly creature be allowed to remain
there instead of being shipped TO Chi
cago in a week or two with its compan-
ions. The owner, stockman, resides
in Missouri.
An exchange says that alcohol will
remove the grass stains from summer
clothes. The exchange il right. 1t will
also remove the summer clothes and al
so the spring and winter clothes not on
ly from the man who drinks enough of
it, but also his wife and children. 1t will
remove furniture from the house and
eatables from the pantry; the smiles
from the face of his wife and the happi-
ness from his home. AS a remover Of
things, alcohol has few equals. 1t is
simply great.
