On Wednesday evening of last week
merry company gathered at y the
pleasant home of Mr.. and Mrs. E. A.
Harthouse, and enjoyed a splendid and
spirited session of Norwegian whist.
In the midst Of their games the guests
were invited to partake of one of those
delicious suppers such as only those
who have broken bread at the Hart
house home can realize and enjoy.
Martin jacobson seemed to be the only
one who did not cheerfully embrace
every opportunity to accumulate a
sufficiency of most delicious refresh
ments and Martins only excuse was
that except when facing the east he
had no appetite, which was plainly iu
keeping with other remarks he let fall.
However it's a safe bet that Martin
hasn't been hungry since. The guests
present were Messrs. and Mesdames
J. M. Reiner, Geo. Miller and Mildred,
. J. R. Falconer, Mrs. J. M. April and
Mrs. John Halvorson and son Edward,
the Misses Anna and Lena Groshans,
Messrs. Smelver, Maupin, Grossarth,
Granley, Miller and Martin Jacobson.
Several local regulations as expert
whist players were shattered and
there are those who are mean enough
to say that they supposed Martin ia
cobson knew how to play whist All
were loath to leave as they were hav-
ing such an excellent time. The hos
pitality of Mr.. and Mrs. Harthouse
once enjoyed, the pleasure ever re-
mains pleasant memory.
The great sovereign state Of North
Dakota maintains, at considerable ex-

during the twenty-five years of state
hood the learned M. DIS who consti-
tute that board have evolved at least
four bulletins having to do with the
conservation of health. Why these
particular diseases were treated to
the exclusion of others we are unable
to say:
