Brooksten Checker Phayets B.mptuous Too.

Another noisy lot of checker playing talk is coming out of Bro* kston, and the editor of the Reporter there thinks there are several of the Brookston bunch that can “learn” Mr. McFariand the“gaiser The~ paper says tli ti Brookston can boa*t of six players that can really play the game. Presumably Ed M. Ferguson is one of these, ae he ended up very well in the recent Brookston-Chalmers uiatch, but when Mr. Fergu-on visited Reus selaer last summer he failed to get a. game from eiiher Mei* ar land. Th,omas or Stevens. If these players think they are equal to the task, the invitation is open to meet them in a team match, from sto 8 men on each side, to be played .in Reus selaer, Brookston or Reynolds. Now let these noisy White-county suitors have their checker Cnam pions toe the mark.

Deaths from drowning are daily reported in the newspapers, and chja ebould eerve as a warning to parents to restrain their boys from taking any risks. Th? nW river channel is very deep and will require much freezing before it is sat? for skating. Several boys have been ducked there this year and parents should forbid going Qn tfie channel until a thoro test of its safety has been made. We are told that several boys have crossed over the channel in a spirit of bravado, and that their escape was a matter of good fortune. Keep the boys off the river, don’t run any risk with them. Earl Sayler, of Elbow Lake, Minn., in sending 93 for two years subscription, writes very entertainingly of bis home there. He says they have also had a very fine winter with very little snow. He thinks the money stringency was not so much noticed there as in the east, altbo it effected the price of grain. He could have sold his wheat at one time for $1.03 a bushel but finally sold it at 92 to 96 cents. In commenting on the big load of corn D. A. Tanner hauled last fall, he said he believes he holds the record therefor a bumper load of oats, having hauled 156 bushels on one wagon, a distance of four miles and received 42 cents a bushel for it. His family were all well, but the grip was sweeping the country. In closing he says: “I wish I could hand around soine of the fine fish we have here. We had six nice pickerel this week.”
