Surprised Mr.. and Mrs. Trout.

Saturday evening while pursuing
their evening tasks, Mr.. and Mrs.
Chas. Trout heard knock and On go
ing to the door were greeted with the
shout, Surprise" The North Willis
Farmers Club and a few friends had
gathered to bid farewell to two Of
their most active members before they
left for their old home in Illinois.
The evening was pleasantly spent in
playing games, after which a most en-
joyable luncheon was served. Mr.. and
Mrs. Trout were then presented with
a handsomely engraved silver bread
tray as a slight token of the esteem
in which they are held by their neigh
bors and friends. All regret to see
them leave North Dakota and some
predict an early return, but, neverthe-
less, wish them the greatest success in
whatever they undertake.

money in that vicinity.
They tell how they were relieved of
their earnings. One of them wanted
to buy bottle of whiskey and ne
gro was pointed out as the man who
sold the goods. He had two bottles
Of perfectly good Minnesota Club
whiskey in his pockets and third
bottle bearing the same brand, but
much darker in color, evidently doped
with nicotine or opium. The negro

gave the men drink from the doped
bottle to relieve their thirst while he
went for it. When he returned from
his walk around the block, the dope
had gotten in it's work.

Minstrel Show Pleased

The Busby's Worlds Greatest
Minstrel Show Wednesday evening
has shown the distinction of being
the only one to exhibit here for some
time without lot of faultfinding
critics picking its attractions to
pieces afterward
A negro minstrel show is in a class
by itself; and a good one never fails
to please an audience where laughter
and amusement are sought.
The negro has an ear for music; it
is natural with him; and he has his
way of rendering it. 1t is not classic
al, but it is better-more pleasing.
The Ministries gave a good enter
tainment-one well worth the price,
and the audience got its satisfaction
of negro melody and laughter
