Pembina must be resting this week. l
havn't heard Of any social gatherings.
Did you ever notice how the man that
can't be driven does love to be wheedled
into doing any old thing?

Mr.. Hancock has moved in.o the pro-
perty recently vacated by c. E.,Jackson.
We welcome the additions made to our
town the last week and hope their stay
with US will prove both pleasant and
profitable.
No wonder Pembina is such lively
place. There's one street in town, where,
in the space of a trihe over two blocks
there are an even, half hundred children
Guess that's where the song "The babies
on our block" must have originated.

The city marshal reports taxes paid or
So dogs in the city and two or three more
yet to collect. And yet there's people
who thought we had thousand by the
barking that sometimes disturbs the
+. moonlight nights. It's the populist frog
: story over again.
Who was it said "'Tis love that make!
the world go rounde' That fellow wa
i, all right anyhow and right here ou
I little world has been whirling 81
, rapidly as to endanger the equi.
!, librium of some of our damsels o
mature years. Cupid has been gettin.
ready grist that will fatten the pocket
books OF the ministers wives before long
that is if the minister gives his wedding
fees to his wife, and he ought to.

e Pembina people as Miss AnnieMcKenzie
= is in Manila and enjoying excellen

missary department in that city. They
had intended visiting Pembina this fall

). I've been thinking that any stranger
! reading these items this last two weeks
!; might be led to believe that Pembina was
sort of summer resort and people
ewere just winding up their vacations. Of
conrse number have recently left us,
some temporarily some permanently,
but there's lot of ''the salt of the earth''
LETT to keep the social wheel turning,
which reminds me of the way this old
i world of ours moves. It's stage, as
I Willie Shakespeare says, and when we
as actors are gone somebody else will
stepnp and take our places, some high
tragedians, some comedians, few
williams" l fear, and lot of "supers''
who take whatever part they can to
J keep the drama moving. It's all right
10 play leading parts, but did you ever
stop to think how important good
super" is? He's the one that fills up
whatever part falls to him. We can't
all be leaders, there would be no honor
then, but any of us could make good
super five only would. Good supers
keep the whole thing balanced and in
smooth working order.
