READING CIRCLE BOARD.
A Meeting at the Hotel English to
Select List of Bookshelf
tel Visitors.

Next winter, when the bleak winds of
November beat stormily against the In
eiana farmhouse and the flames from the
huge fireplace leap gleefully as the fresh
log is deposited on the fire, the young
people within-and especially those who at
tend the district school-will have a choice
lot of literature to read With this purpose
in view number of the best known edu-
Gators of the State held a meeting at the
Hotel English yesterday and discussed
what would be best in this line for the
young people to peruse and also for the
teacher. 1t was a meeting of the Teach
ers' and Young Peoples Reading Circle
Board The members of the board are
Mrs Emma Mont McRae of Lafayette; f.
L. Jones, State superintendent of public in
struction; George II. Tapy, OF Columbia
City; w. H. Senour. of Brookville; Howard
Sandison, of Terre Haute; c. NJ. Mcdaniel,
of Madison, and r. J. Alley, of Blooming
ton.
The board selected yesterday what is
called a tentative list for both teach
ers and pupils. The list contains about
sixty books. 1t will finally be reduced
to about twenty. For the pupils the list
contains stories dealing with periods of
the American revolution, the war of 1872,
stories of science, etc. For the teachers
there are history. biography literature and
nature study. The board will hold another
session this morning before final adjourn
ment. This Is the first meeting of the year.
Other meetings will be held, and in De-
cember the list will be finally agreed on.
1t is said that Indiana is at the top of
the list in this reading circle work. The
advantage of the reading circle is that
it gives the pupil and teacher the benefit
of a big reduction in the price of a book.

HAD A HEATED ARGUMENT.
The Authorship of Farce-COmedy
Responsible for 1t.

'I see that WhitcOmb Riley has gone
to writing farce-cOmedies, remarked a
smooth-faced, thick-set young man who
leaned over the desk at the Stubbins Hotel
last night. Three or four men sitting in
front of the CRATE a short distance away
heard the remark and one of them got up
and walked over to the desk. He was a
tall, slim man, who looked as if he would
argue most any kind of a question. 81

know all about Whitcomb Riley; you are
mistaken about his occupation. He's a
poet and he's not writing anything ex-
cept poetry these days. You can put it
down that Riley is not writing any plays"
The thick-Set young man was just as posi-
tive that Mr.. Riley had written a farce
comedy as the tall, slim man was positive
that he had not. II know exactly what L
am talking about" remarked the former.
Il know that Riley has recently completed
a farce called 'Spotless Town And more
than that Gus Hill, the variety theater
manager, is arranging to put it on th'
stage and is advertising it extensively"
The tall, slim man appealed to the clerk
to know if he wasn't right in his con-
tention, but that young man admitted that
he didn't know what Mr. Riley is doing
these days. He did know that Riley wrote
some mighty good stuff and on that prop
osition they all agreed. Finally the thick
set young man and the tall, slim man got
up bet and everybody got interested. The
thick-set young man said he could prove
il by the New York Clipper, and the other
man agreed to that The Clipper was
brought from the newsstand and laid on
the desk. The guests gathered around, and
the thick-set young man turned over the
pages. At length he found the page an

the author of this farce? Now will Won

at the tall, slim man. The latter was very
deliberate in his reply, but finally he spoke

back his pent-up feeling, 'it does say
WhitcOmb Riley, but do you notice, my
friend, that it is spelled W-h-i-t-c-o-m-b-e

Until the government began TO take an

ator agree to a primary plan, to be men
toned further on, by which Mr.. Minturn
will not be justified in the further prosecu-
ton of the said suit. This plan will not
only obviate the present seeming necessity
for further primary after March H.
avoid further trouble and complications to
harmonic various elements and obtain
that which all must wish-a fun and salts
factory expression of the desire of the
voters of the party in the manner most
satisfactory to them and most likely to
contribute to the success of the ticket that
may be nominated.
This suggestion, in brief, is that the
various candidates for joint senator con-
sent TO a petition to the Hon. Charles n.
Elliott and the Republican election COM
missioners asking them to hold the pri-
mary for Joint senator coincidental with
the primary for other Offices on March a.
This can be done with a separate ballot
box, and if necessary a delegate conven-
ton. There must then be separate
ballot to be voted in a separate ballot
box, and there must be an agreement with
the chairman of the Morgan county com
delegates allotted to Marion county. How
ever, they may be voted for en- masse or
by wards.
1T would be necessary to agree upon
these and other details before the execu-
ton of the plan. The legality of the plan
must be admitted. Are you willing to unite
with the other candidates for joint senator

requesting his consideration of this sug-
geStiOn, and cooperate with the other
candidates for joint senator i'm perfecting

ouested"
