Glories of a Dakota Winter. From out of the hay mow echoes the homely cackle of busy “biddies” lining their nests with two cent eggs. The wheel tires creak a shrill melody on the frosty track, while the roadside wires, linking the farmstead to the throbbing heart of the great, busy world, keyed to aeollan pitch, fill the air with rhythm. The bouquet of rich, old wine ts in the air. It races through the veins, mounts to the brain, sparkles In the eye and bursts from the lips In laughter and shouting. Sing if you please the beauties of the tropics, of teeming, swarming life, of perennial foliage, Sowers and fruit; extenuate the “lukewarmness” of more temperate climes and endure the penetrating chill of lower altitudes—ls you know no better—but give me the cheery, rejuvenating, glorious Dakota winter.—Howard (S. D.) Spirit A Rick Genealogy. A few months ago in looking up his genealogy a Londoner discovered that a woman whom he did not know was using a crest he had regarded as his own. He found she was a cousin. They became friends, and when she died recently she bequeathed her estate, more than $500,000, to him. That was certainly rich fruit to find on the branches of the family tree. An armload of old papers for a nickel at The Democrat office. Read The Democrat for news.
