When w. P. Northrup returned
from the store last Friday evening he
found his home in the possession Of
some twenty or more friends, who had

the evening was gaily passed. the
guests remaining until late hour and
departing at last with many good

homelike and inviting than q big
house out on q bleak prairie by itsell
If you are in doubt about 1t, ask your
wife.
