Judging from the exchanges the
farmers are dancing the long winter
nights away quite merrily. Mo one
enjoys life more than the North Da-
kota farmer in. the winter time. IN
the working season he hustles for all
he is worth, but when the easy days
come he is either enjoying life in

with his neighbors in making things
pleasant at home. #Fg a.
Monday night of last week the fam
lily of David Brost, of Kuhn, came
| pretty nearly being asphy xiated by
gas escaping from a Ignite coal stove.
| The stove was in Mr.. and Mrs. Brost's
room. Emanuel Ahorn sleeps in an
adjoining room and the door between
the two rooms was entirely closed
| the only manner in which the gas
could enter his room being through
the key hole. When he arose Tues
day morning he realized that for some
unknown. reason he was almost I'M
able to stand on his feet. An inves-

cause was from gas escaping from
the stove-it being SO strong as to

i passed a couple of miles, the sight Of
the old lady as he was collecting fares
reminded the man in uniform that he
had carried her past her destination,
and would in all probability have to
give q severe accounting for his for

1 But a glance convinced him she was
asleep and he caught the bell cord
with a sigh of relief as he Thought Of
how he could back his train to the
