April Fool Franks

The custom Of playing April Fool jokes is an
old one. The Romans are said to have had a semi
holiday Saturnaa when humorous tricks were
the fashion, but it's date was not April l. In
Hindoostan there is day dedicated to the fun
makers and it is on the evening of March 81,
when even the white-robed Brahmans quit
searching into the mysteries and play pranks
on each other.
William S. Walt in his "Curiosites of Public
Customs" gives the French credit for the day.
He says it started with the changing of the cal
endar setting New Years day back from March
25 to January 1. Before the change was made,
the fun making eliminated on the eve of April
/, when holiday gifts were given. After the
change in time, only mock gifts were made on
April l with the view to fool those who had for
gotten the change in date. After this custom
was started it was kept up even if the people for
got the origin of it. -...r.-s.
A number of references to April FOOLS Day
are found in English literature. Oliver Gold
smith played an April Fools joke that has be-
come a classic. Addison refers to it. 1t was
known to the Puritans in our own country who
disapproved its levity.

BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES.

loaf of bread, a pound OF wieners, a
cash register and a box of paper nap

The public has learned how to make
this sort of business profitable. You
can retail egg sandwiches at 30 cents
each, giving you a profit of $50 per
cent. By using razor you can cut
the pumpkin pie into twelve pieces
and can retail the pieces at 20 cents;
thus each pie will bring you $40, rep
resenting a profit of ! 900 per cent, as
the original pie cost you IL cents
You can get 81 out of every loaf Of

concerned the public simply eats it up

Often at inspection it is customary
for officers to pass by the sergeants,
merely giving their equipment a cas-
ual glance, assuming, no dOught, that
as they are more experienced soldiers
than the privates, their equipment is
in proper condition. AS result of
this it sometimes happens that the
sergeants allow their rifles to get in
rather poor shape. That some officers
are alive to this is shown by young
second lieutenant, who, after eXamin-
ing particularly dirty rifle, handed it
back to the luckless private, remark
ing disgustedly, Your rifle is dirty
enough to be sergeants."
A miner lodging at certain house

door remarked:

W. II. Conklin, who has been held

to kill his wife, Mrs. Anna Conklin,
appeared before Judge Skinner at the
county court house Tuesday morning,

fenced to serve two years and six
months in the state prison at Sioux
Falls.
Mr.. Conklin has been an outstanding
figure in the business and political life
of Brookings for many years, and be-
cause of this the courtroom was well
filled with men and women who took
both a friendly and curious interest in
the possible outcome of the trial. Be
reft of practically all of his old-time
vigor and plain spoken manner, Mr..
Conklin, when he appeared before the
judge to plead guilty, said: Il plead
guilty as charged and | throw myself
upon the mercy of the court with APP
ologies for my contempt to the court"
To. a representative of the Register
Mr.. Conklin had nothing to say con
corning the disposal of his hotel or

NEW CITY

At a meeting of the city council on
Monday night an engineer was en-
gagged to take charge of the work of
making the plans and specifications
for paving and storm sewers Peti-
lions for paving Main street, Third
and Eighth have already been filed so
that we may say that the work has
actually begun toward the making of
a bigger and better B~rookings.
The council has also passed an or
chance whereby the property owners
will be allowed to make payments On
the work in installments SC as to en-
tail as little of a hardship upon any
one as possible, as the expense to own
ers of corner lots and large frontage
will be considerable if the work is
done we'll.
On Sixth street, owing to the drain
age and lay of the street, a heavy ex-
pense will be created in building a
storm sewer and bonds for this pur-
pose will have to be voted on before
the work can proceed.
Property owner or other streets
are busy circulating petitions for paw
ing and the n for Medary venue
is in the hands Of Frank h. Johnson.
The one for Williams street is in the
hands of c. w. Smith, Mayor Leighty
makes the statement that the city
council will have nothing whatever to
do with these petitions until they are
filed and it is up to the property own
ers desiring paving, to do their own
work along this line, and get their petit
tons filed as soon as possible.
l.. p. Wolff of st. Paul, a man of
large experience in street paving and
construction work has been engaged
by the city as the engineer in charge
and will have the plans and specifca-
tons ready as oon as is compatible
with the amount of work to be done.
