The Brookings ball team played here
with our boys Wednesday. The locals
made five scores in the first inning
which took the life out of the game, as

was close, though not overly fast. The
final score was 6 to 2. For an all
home team the Brookings boys play
a nice game.-De Smet News.

he was asking after her cold, answer
ed that although she usually had one
every winter, this was the worst one
she ever had; it kept her awake at
night a good deal and at first confined
her to bed. Then noticing that the
newspaper man was getting nervous
she said she could tell by his looks
that he was going to have one just
like hers and asked him to go in and
sit down.
