the erection OF an imposing edific,
the property of Mr.. Tunheim, was
sold some time ago to Ed. Olson

NEWFOLDEN and NEW SOLUM.

The meeting of the Anti Tobacco
and Anti-Intoxicant Literary and
Amusement Society last Thursday,
at Mr.. Paul Olson's, New Solum,
was another SUCCESS. The subject Of
the Cat and the Dog, two Of our
familiar and intimate domestic ami
mails, received much elucidation from
essays and recitations, and were hon
ored in a couple Of special songs, a
round :'Hey Dey Diddle,"' by thirteen
boys and girls, and solo by Annie
Nelson, especially appropriate. Es-
sayists were Nellie and Emma Ha-
gen, Alice Ronneberg, Racine Olson
and Dora Olson. A short recitation
was given by Mrs. Paul Olson; also
one by Mr.. Tonnes Nelson, both a
propos. Celia Olson, too, little bit
of girl, pronounced some lines with
those little lips that have scarcely yet
become accustomed to the formation
of articulate sounds. Mr.. Paul Olson
read, in difficult dialect of Norway,
an amusing story explaining how the
feeling of unfriendliness arose be-
tween the cat and the dog. In one
essay, some interesting epitaphs from
tombstones in cat cemetery in or
near London were given in another
a number Of superstitious beliefs held
in the past or by people less enlight-
ened. Besides the songs already
mentioned, grand chorus of ten
voices (Teller johnson, John and
Toilet Nelson, and Eddie Ronneberg,
tenors; Annie johnson, Alice Rome
berg and Nellie Hagen, sopranos !;
Emma Hagen and Ida johnson, al
tos; and the writer, bass) sang song
in celebration of all animate nature,
and drawing therefrom a lesson of
obedience; a duet with chorus (Annie
Johnson, soprano; Minnie Rome
berg, alto; Ida johnson and Alice
Ronneberg, tenors; the writer, bass)
sang in praise of mothers heart a
trio, by some of the singers named
above, sang an apostrophe to the
wave; and Annie and Ida johnson
sang softly and tenderly ''Sleep in
Peace .
At the previous meeting it had
been decided to introduce the news
paper as a feature of the society.
''Fram' was the name given to it by
the overwhelming majority of the
vote, and Minnie Ronneberg was
elected it's first editor, to serve las de-
cided at last meeting) for five weeks.
Her paper surprised all by the excel
lence of its language, the brilliancy
Of it's wit, and the elevated tone of
it's sentiment. It produced frequent
outbursts Of laughter.

his tail between the open valves of an
oyster. which at once closed upon it like
a wise. Then the intruder lost all self
command and bolted. He made straight
for his hole. only to find that, although
he could enter it, the oyster was too big
to be pulled after him, and there he had
to stay, head downward, Juggling frantic

on arriving next day, pulled the rat out
of the hole. though not without a severe

showed fight, but after brief struggle
all was over. The oyster held on all the
time and when seen a couple of hours lat
