certain country may be taken serious
ly. He as visitor is an amusing en-
tertainer. Come again Friend Sepp,
in the middle of the week. We get
the comic paper on Sunday.
Congratulations sincere to Mrs. and
Mr.. D'forest Ross. A sweet little
cherubim arrived with the dawn of
Tuesday to bring joy and gladness to
the proud parents.
Herman H. Kuchenbecker, Mr.. and
Mrs, of Columbus, N. D., enjoyed a
brief visit with the folks at Logan
during the week.
Oliver Saugstad has recently COM
pleted several additions to his conven-
lent town residence on Riverside ave-
nue., installing among other improve
ments water system, which is thor
oughly up-to-date.
Reuben StredWick and his good
helpmeet, are to be congratulated not
only by reason of their attaining the
proud distinction of great-grandpa
and ma, but in giving to Logan liv-
ing picture of four generations, of
which she has reason to be proud.
Carl Ross is making haste to get in
shape for merry Xmas. He, as a re-
suit of reading Burlington boosts,
.strayed to that village in search Of
farm land, and was smitten with a
sad sickness. Logan air and cheer
fulness saved him, though.
Mis- Winnie Bean, our popular post
mistress, wearying of the turmoil and
hustle Of her home town, sought dur
ing the week the peace that the noun
famous country Velvaways at
fords. Sheltered in the seclusion of
a deep cou1ee, love in cottage is
there typified. The delicate shades Of
white in all its snowy purity alone
meets the jaded eye; occasionally
lean and hungry coyote sneaks across
the horizon to search again the de-
serted chicken coop, the human voice
echoes strangely in the stiffness, but
the varied sounds to which the town
dwellers' ear is attuned are heard not.
But alas, the thought of an overwork-
ed deputy intruding upon the blissful-
ness Of this simple life, made it imper-
alive that a fond farewell be bid, and
Logan duties again be sorrowfully
sought.
Pete Griendburg has three mechan-
ically propelled vehicles which no
amount Of coaxing will move. A good
neighbor with an idle team hauled a
Ford to Ezra's shop, the two others
are in hospital on N. Prairie. Pete is
now chauffeur to man with good
machine
Mr.. Wigen, cashier of the First
State Bank, courteous and capable, is
capturing much business for Logan.
Mr.. Wigen has, during brief resi-
dence made host of friends, become
convinced of the possibilities of this
point and is fast establishing his in
titution in the confidence of the COM
munity.
Mr.. F. Kearfoot was a visitor on
Tuesday. Work in connection with
the new hall engages his attention.
Miss Mary Hecker, who has charge
OF school Darlington ways, is to be
the guest of Mr.. and Mrs. Will Heck
er during the Xmas festivities.
Charley Brady, the promising un-
derstudy at the Minnekota elevator,
last Sabbath cen meath the pale moon
light, was just as serenely happy as
any young man could hope to be.
It would be interesting to many to
know just exactly who the, subordi-
nate officers of the Logan Grange are.
We understood that the local organic
alton died in infancy, and it is with
surprise we learn the Masters office
still exists.
At this season it is customary to give
utterance to kindly. thoughts, to har-
Dor naught but loving feeling to all 4
mankind, including in our generous
Interpretation Of the Masters COM
mand, even those neighbors who diff
fer religiously, politically or generally
from our conception Of what alone can
be right and proper. Though here
and there we encounter an eccentric,
who has visions Of this happy condi-
ton being emphasized at all seasons,
it is pleasing to recognize that Xmas
brings to each welcome at church
services. The ostracising born Of a
judgement based on hearsay is for the
moment withdrawn and the village
schoolroom shelters the many who can
fervently pray that Peace on Earth,
Good Will to Men, become reality
rather than profession, even in Lo-
gan as in Europe. And if we can but
conceive Charity which admits that
there is good in every nature, that
none should be condemned unheard,
despite the testimony Of one who
processes Truth, yet presents it per-
iodically peculiarly, we may indeed be
q people pleasing in the sight Of God
and our FelloWmen. s
