Bear Ridge Stays Met

Last week a reverberating call
issued from one OF the highest
points on Big Bear ridge. 1t is a
sound that is seldom heard except
wnen stag has teen temporarily
deserted by his mate. In this par
tlcular instance the call came from
Art Rognstad and those who were
versed in the language, knew that
there was to be a rendezvous of all
the stays from the highest cliffs to
the lowest wales of Bear ridge.
A band of thirty-four answered
the summons and on the evening of
January 10, began gathering at
the Rognstad stamping grounds. At
the entrance cunningly concealed
wires formed pitfalls that caused
the downfall of many a young stag
whose head was too high in the air.
There was second surprise, how
ever, that was of still more startI-
ing nature.
1t was generally understood that
this particular party was to be for
stays only. 1t was also definitely
known that the wife of the lost was
not supposed to be there. Judge
then the surprise of those who
tlmidly knocked at the door when
they were met by handsome young
lady. and strange one at that.
This was indeed a shock to the
friends of Mr.. Rognstad as he was
supposed to have nothing but gentle
men friends in the house. However
the shock was no greater than the
: disappointment when it was learned
D., that the handsome female was none
other than Ingvald Aas, dressed IN
. the latest Partisan costume import
ed tor the occasion from some young
lady's wardrobe.
The festivities began with a most
interesting program, presided over
=, by N. E. Ware, who was appointed
for the evening to be the man with
the Big Stick. The first number
was a selection by the Bear Ridge
Orchestra, which was repeatedly
encored. This was followed by a
reading by Mr.. Ware, entitled "A
e Dream. The next number was a
J. very pathetic account of "a Sick
2, Jew" given by Milo Sind. D.
y, Galloway then gave reading "A
m Border on His Way, and Percy
N Ware brought tears of anguish to
1t the eyes of the crowd by his account
J. OF Mutt Gong to the Country"
"Mlss" Ingvald Aas told about
y "The Shipwrecked Swede', and q
~ double quartet sang "The Gangs
m All Here.
&c One of the athletic features of the
evening was the pie eating contes
{. between Stag Beings and Stag Hecht
81 The hands of the two contestants
IL were tied behind them and the pie
III placed on the table. The former
won the contest and demonstrated
in most satisfactory manner hi
superior gastronomic ability. 1t il
said that the pies were of the choco
n. late variety, which made it still
er more interesting.
n Cards and other games served t.
;er pass away the evening all too soon
SITS The finale was most pleasing sur
at prise. The host was relagated to tn
ly discard and was replaced by tn
hostess, Mrs. Rognstad, who wa
,h- assisted by Miss Supplger and Mis-
Ice Aas IN serving delightful supper
oa 1t was truly most satisfyln
lst feed" that delighted every ma'
ne cuIlne heart and the unanimou
ck vote of thanks to the three ladie
te, was but a feeble attempt on tn
,d- part of the guests, to express thei
on, appreciation.

eg- evening was productive of the form
