Mrs. H. II. kuchenbecker and
daughter, Evelyn, were the guests Of
Mrs. II. G.. kuchenbecker on Sunday
last.
Bert Beebe, Mrs. Beebe and all the
little Beebes, climbed in behind the
now famous giraffe, and enroute to
the Heavenly Sphere, enjoyed the ex-
hilirating experience of clipping mile
around two minutes net. The evening
was devoted to entertainment and the
coming generation of Beebes will long
remember happy and exciting even
ing with the pater and mater in Minot.

Of one of the finest black colts raised
in Ward county. Even twinges of
rheumatic pains are forgotten when
viewing this equine wonder.
We are glad to learn that Mr.. j. j..
Brand, who has been suffering sadly,
is now convalescent, and making pro-
gress toward complete recovery. A
host of friends wish him speedy res
toration to the full enjoyment of the
good things of life. Burlington's ex-
travagant claim to the title of Cab
bage King reused the old lion from his
Lair, and the title acquired by preem-
inence during many seasons is not to
be wrested from Brand of Logan, by
even the wierd imaginative flight of
our genial Burlington confrere. The
quality of cabbage and other garden
truck there raised is made evident by
the lamentations of our esteemed
scribe, when chronicling that from de-
cayed vegetable matter, a stencil per-

last. Curt has many head of cattle, a
fine ranch and an optimism which
helps. But-he would rather remain
a resident of Logan.
Mrs. F. J. Wellman and son Sandy
spent the week end the guest of Mrs.
H. C. Kuchenbecker.
Last Sabbath, just as the sun was
sinking slowly in the west, a merry
party of young folks journeyed from
the home of the Shorthorn specialist
en- route to Logan High School. Two
buggy loads of effervescing youth,
vieing one with another, who first
could reach the joys of Logan, when
alas and alack, as they rounded the
bend nigh unto the section house, the
vehicle navigated by Allan Stredwick
dumped it's precious occupants rudely
to Mother Earth. Miss Mabel Hender-
son was badly shaken and somewhat
bruised and Allan had the misfortune
to transform his complexion with a
rapidity which society beauty might
envy. Fortunately no boner were brok-
en- but the buggy now rivals the Eng
lishman in it's need of repair. The party
attended the Christian Endeavor
meeting little worse for the mishap.
Pete, of school ma am fame, asks in
future to be let down lightly. 1t shall
be even as he saith, so we chronicle
merely the fact that his quadruped
would grow less weary if unhitched
and tied to the back Of the buggy
during P.'s perigrinations on the Sab
bath day. That hitching post pro-
vides but little nourishment.

A slight error crept into our story
Of the Christian, the plow lay and the
Sabbath which we readily rectify. The
smithy shop had to be opened despite
the 4th commandment, to obtain a
pillow lay which had been left earlier
in the week for attention. To the good
gentlemen who took to heart our re-
buke we would commend for perusal
verse 8, chapter 7, Ecclesiastes.
Mrs. Shaw enjoyed the hospitality
of Mrs Marie Saugstad from daylight
till dark last Saturday.
