One of the best friends the North
western has, living in the southwest
part of the county, was in to see us
last Saturday and took exceptions to
item published a fortnight since, in
which we mentioned another time
tried and true reader of the North
western as being the oldest sub
scriber to this paper. The gentleman,
who objects to us making a personal
item of his call, as he was not look
ing for publicity, says he also has
been a reader of the Northwestern
from its initial number down to the
present, which according to the
volume and number given, is 24 years
and over, and while he is willing to
divide honors insists he is just as old
a reader as any, and as he laid down
one of Uncle Sam's cartwheels, added,
! “And here’s for another year in ad
vance. and expect to take the paper
as long as it is published, and you
remain good.” Meeting such sub
stantial friends of the paper does an
editor a world of good, and we trust
the gentleman will live to celebrate
the century mark on life’s troubled
seas and not have to weather a storm
of any consequence. And by the way.
we would like to have the name and
address of every reader of the North
western who have been readers of the
paper from its first number down to
the present. Will each one send us ,
In his or her name and address?
A Happy Reunion.
December 25th was observed in a
double sense at the home of Mrs.
Abbie Gilbert. Besides the usual
Christmas cheer it was the occasion
of a jubilee over her restoration of
sight and her return home after an
absence of over live months. Both
the weather and the occasion were
conducive to the pleasure of the
twenty-three guests present. It
would be a task indeed to try to men
tion the good things with which the
table was bountifully spread. A
most prominent feature of the gather
ing was the meeting of three sisters
and their brother, who had not all
been together in nearly forty years.
They are. Mr. Walter Moon. Loup
City: Mrs. Pheobe Mclntire, La Porte.
Iowa:*Mrs. Abbie Gilbert. Loup City,
and Mrs. Lucy M. Hartman of St.

Mrs. G. P. Callaham and Walter and
Mildred Callaham, Mr. and Mrs. Ed.

Entre Nous Entertain.
The Entre Nous club gave a fine
6 o’clock dinner, musicaleand general
evening's enjoyment Wednesday even
ing to themselves and their husbands
at the comfortable home of Mr. and
Mrs. Carsten Truelsen. It was by
far the most enjoyable evening of
feast, fun, wit, mirth, music, with
toasts and papers by the members
and short speeches by the invited
guests, that it has been our good
fortune to attend since good fortune
brought us to Loup City. A six
course dinner was followed by all the
above, with Mrs. Mathew as toast
mistress, and she presided as to the
uiauur uoru anu receiveu main nearly
and well-earned encomiums over the
grace and wit with which she in
troduced those who were on the pro
gramme and the apt remarks at the
close of the same. Each number
given was received witli the utmost
pleasure, and when the hour of mid
night had arrived all departed for
their homes, feeling nothing could
have been added to make the enjoy
ment more complete, unless, indeed
it were regrets for the unavoidable
absence of two or three of the mem
bers and their husbands on account
of sickness and sorrow in their house
holds. We trust these enjoyable re
unions may occur many times during
the year 1908.

Leporsy Not so Bad.
“If it were given to me to choose
between being compelled to live in
Molokai for the rest of my life, or in
the East End of London, the East
Side of New York, or the Stock
Yards of Chicago, I would select
Molokai without debate.”
Thus writes Jack London in the
Woman’s Home Companion of his
visit to the Hawaiian leper colony of
Molokai.
“In Molokai the people are happy.
I shall never forget the celebration
of the Fourth of July I witnessed
there. At six o’clock in the morning
the ‘horribles’ were out, dressed fan
tastically, astride horses, mules and
donkeys (their own property), and
cutting capers all over the settlement
Two brass bands were out as well.
Then there were the pa-u riders, thir
ty or forty of them, Hawaiian women
all superb horsewomen, dressed gor
geously in the old, native riding cos
tume, and dashing about in twos and
threes and groups. In the afternoon
Mrs. London and I stood in the
judges’ stand and awarded the prizes
for horsemanship and costume to the
pa-u riders. All about were the hun
dreds of lepers, with wreaths of
flowers on heads and necks and shoul
ders, looking on and making merry.
And always, over the brows of hills
and across the grassy level stretches,
appearing and disappearing, were the
groups of men and women, gaily
dressed, on galloping horses, horses
and riders flower bedecked and flower
garlanded, singing and laughing and
riding like the wind. And as I stood
in the judges’ stand and looked at all
this, there came to my recollection
the lazar house of Havana, where I
once beheld some two hundred lepers,
prisoners inside four restricted walls
until they died. No, there are a few
thousand places I wot of in this
world over which 1 would select
Molokai as a place of permanent
residence.”
