BERLIN.

BERLIN.
Among those who are sick these days
is Mrs. A. kroha, but We all hope to
see her around again in day or two.
The little one that was born at the
home of l. j. Wallis has died and much
sympathy is felt for the parents in their
lonely home.
Rabbit shooting along the hay roads
is still pretty good. John Dcrkson
hardly makes single trip these days
without bagging one or two.
More music for the people of Berlin.
Will Krahn has disposed of his old
violin and purchased new one which
is pronounced to be cracker jack.
1t won't do to josh G. j. Wall too
much about how that new tangled
safety razor of his works. 1t might do
however to ask him to show it to you
though.
Miss Katy Harder, who has until
lately been working for the family of j.
Spenst leaves there to fill similar
position with the family of G. Krahn
for the coming summer months.
i John Penner is still telling the neigh
bors about how different things are out
here as compared with the way they
are done in the old country. Which we
all know is at least fifty years behind
the times.
The old bachelor has come back from
Klein where he has been visiting lands.
He is now talking of going to the
Canadian Northwest in the spring and
it may at least be said that he will be
greatly missed.
c. Toews has returned from Canada
and brings word that their mother is
getting better and expects TO return
here in short time which will be good
news to the family's many friends in
this settlement.
Boys why not quit smoking when you
want to so bad. 1t is only will power
that is needed. When you make New
Years resolution keep it and be done
with the habit. 1t is only thos" who
want to that need to smoke
Jake Derkson is not likely to be
bothered any more in helping that old
horse of his along the road when it falls
down. Somebody killed it for him with
a % calibre rifle. Wonder how many
shots it took to do the job?
Peter Penner has just returned from
visit to people in the Klein settlement
and says that the fine houses; and barns
out through there are something great
and should make some OF the old timers
: around here brush up some and make
improvements.
Out around here the women folks are
beginning to do little in the way of
talking politics and from what has so
far reached the ear of your correspon-
dent they are up to the present time
away ahead of :heir better halves in
campaign maCLerS.
N. Penner had his brothers John.
Peter and Abram over at his place visit
ing the other day on the occasion of the
birthday of his wife and it is safe togucss
that the four brothers had big talk
about their proposed removal the com
ing summer to the Northwest Terri
tory.
John Krahn is another one of those in
this settlement who is ailing consider
ably. The local doctor was called in to
see what relief he could give the patient.
but he didn't seem to have any pills
which happened to be of benefit in his
case. John is now wondering what he
will have to do about it.
A sad accident happened one day dur
ing the past week at the home of c.
Krahn when their little daughter fell
into a pot of hot water while the family
were not watching her. The child,
whose name is Mary was quite badly
scalded, but although the injuries are
exceedingly severe hopes are SO far
entertained that the child's life may be
saved.
