what Of . magician preselAed them
with tall bottle Of transparent liquid,
instructing them to place It upon their
mantel and explaining that u eithsr Of
them ever dared to nirt the contents
Of the bottle would assume q murky
color.
After they had been married . year
the wife went to the seashore for
vacation. In her absence her husband
frequently entertained group Of
bachelor friends with amusements
thoroughly bachelor-like. but innocent
enough. The guests inquired % to the
signihcance Of the tall bottle on tho
mantel, but the host persistently 70
fused to divulge the secret. Finally
on the night before the day ct for
his wife's return he explained tho
meaning Of the mysterious bottls.
One Of the guests. who was much
given to practical Joking, surrepduous-
" removed the cork Of the bottle. into
which he emptded the contents Of his
fountain pen. When the bottle had
been thoroughly shaken It was re-
placed upon the mantel and carefully
concealed behind large photograph.
The next day after the wife had 70
turned in busting the mantel she re-
moved the photograph, thus revealing
the tall bottle with its sable contents.
She very promptly took the bottle to
the sink. emptied It, rinsed it out thor
oughly, nlled it with clear water and
replaced It on the mantel.-Judge.

Deputy Treasurer Norman Husband
was absent until Thursday from his
place in the court house having been
called to Grand Forks to attend the
wedding of his brother Gordon Husband
of Hensel to Miss Melvina Robinson of
Grand Forks. The groom has farm in
the Canadian northwest on which the
couple will reside.
The annual Firemen's ball which was
held last Friday evening was a great
success. The attendance was large
something over a hundred tickets hav-
ing been sold and the floor was crowded
when the dancers were all busy. The
music from Grand Forks was all that
could be desired and everybody seemed
to be having the best time possible. AS
witness to the latter statement the
most of the crowd remained until the
last dance at three in the morning. The
hall was prettily decorated and supper
was of the best. The fremen are ahead
a nice little sum and have the congratu.
lations of their many guests.
The regular term of court was held
on Tuesday and Wednesday of this
week. As no jury had been called there
was but littls business and that of a
routine nature. The matter of hearing
OF the suit instituted in the county seat
case vas considered as to time of hear
ing but which was left indefinite. Judge
Kneeshaw has to leave for two weeks
term of court at Langdon beginning on
Monday. There is also a difficulty in
getting another judge to hear the case.
as all of them are busy at this time of
year. 1t may be however that the case
can be called about the 22nd of this
month.
During the high wind on Tuesday
night large section, about 81 81 #.
OF the partially completed roofing of the
new rink was blown off and landed
mostly in one piece on the street. The
roof had been left unfinished owing to
the extreme cold and thus left fair
mark for the terrific wind. The damage
however will be mos tly confined to in
creased labor as the material is not very
badly injured. Mr.. Myrick is certainly
having troubles of his own in trying to
provide a fine rink for Pcmbina and we
hope that our citizens will give him the
patronage that such efforts and troubles
entItle him to.
Winter arrived all right with the
closing day of the year as the following

9TH, 20. Tuesday evening was quite
pleasant after a strong, cold south wind
blowing all day and continuing until
about IL o'clock, when there was a
sudden whirl of the wind to the north
and for several hours there was regu-
lar and very severe blizzard. The few
people who were out at that time
describe 1t as one of the worst for many
years. Fortunately it did not continue
very long and towards morning it let up
considerably but it was decidedly
olizzardy all day on the open prairie.
Thursday was quite pleasant again.
