For the Free Reading Room.

The entertainment given Monday
evening at the opera house by the
Entire Nous Magazine Club, for the
benefit Of the Mountain Home Free
Reading Room, was a pleasing and
successful affair, and the ladies who
under adverse circumstances have
taken such deep interest in main
tanning public reading room de-
serve unbounded praise from all
broad-minded people.
The program consisted of a "book
representation" contest, vocal and
instrumental music, pantomimes,
charades, tableaux, burlesque art
gallery, gypsy fortune teller, grab
bags, ETC., and was amusing and en-
tertaining throughout, rendering
great satisfaction to the audience,
which shoold have been larger,
considering the laudable purpose for
which the entertainment was given.
Mrs. Barstow, Mrs. Struck
and L. L. Spring were selected a
committee to award the prize-a
handsome pocket-book-to the best
sustained character in the book rep
resentation Mrs. Perky, who rep
resented The Gypsy's Prophecy"
was the fortunate winner.
The gross receipts amounted to
about $4,000, which, after deduct
ing expenses, will leave a moderate
sum to be applied to the wants of
the reading room.
The ladies wish to thank all in
attendance for their patronage.

One Ticket Named.

Tuesday evening a meeting was
held at the opera house for the pur-
pose OF naming five village trustees
to be voted for at the election to be
held on Tuesday April /. 1t was a
very quiet, one-sided affair. Our
business men took but little inter
est in The matter, and only one
store closed its doors earlier than
usual in order for the occupants to
attend. At first it was difficult to
get man TO serve as chairman Of
the meeting. but after refusal by
four or five parties, Mr.. Howie's
name was mentioned. AS Mr..
HOWE was never known to refuse
anything, he accepted and assembled
the non-partisan throne. Dan Nc
Laughlin was proposed for secre-
tary and he didn't refuse to act.
The following names were then read
from the slate:
VIM. HI. holland,
J. W. Ball,
George Mahoney,
August Kunnecke,
AL. Loveridge.
There being no other candidates
named the above men were declared
the choice of those present for viii
lage trustees.
Bob Easley, Dan Mclaughlin
and l.. L. Spring were then chosen
for an executive committee to ham
die the campaign Doodle and to fill
all vacancies should any of them
die before election.
AS the business men and heavy
taxpayers generally decline to give
their time to serving as village trus-
tees it is possible that another ticket
will not be placed in the field. But
all Democrats, male and female,
should promptly register.

birds EGGS Superstitions.

The old wfiuklcd, dusky aunties Of
the south tell children: do not eat the
blucbirds eggs. They make you love
to wander" They believe that the pale
blue eggs of that beautiful creature,
that violet of the air. that bird with
"sky tingc on his back. earth tinge on
his breast" will make the greedy nest
robber restless as long as he lives. No
place, however enticing, can hold the
being who has once tasted a bluebird s
egg.
He who eats a hooking birds egg
will be compelled to tell all he knows. ;"
The one who robs a killdee's nest and
eats its eggs will surely break an arm.
He who eats a doves egg will be fol-
owed by bad luck, while the egg Of any
bird Of yellow plumage will be sure TO
cause fever, and he who eats an OWLS
egg will be always shrieking. The eat
er Of a crows egg will always, as old
aunties say, be gwine on foolish like Il
crow does go on, 'Ha, ha, ha" But Il
partridge's egg" they declare "du des
make you thrive an grow fas'. Dey

kin eat wdout tindin' 'em danger

A study of medieval rural life is apt
to give the impression that the princi-
pal part of the life of the people was
spent in quarrelng or in the commits
sion or prosecution of offenses. Our
ancestors certainly were a very liti-
gious and a very disorderly people.
The records TEEN with instances of men
and women drawing knives against one
another, of breaking into houses. Of
prosecuting one another for SANDER.
Then we have such entries as these:
1T is ordained by common consent
that all the women of the village must
refrain their tongues from all SANDER
ing" Thomas, son of Robert Smith,
is fined II pence because his wife Ag-
mes beat Emma. the wife of Robert,
the tailor, and Robert, the ,ailor, six
pence because his wife Emma swore at
Agnes, the wife OF Thomas" 1T is en-
Joined upon all the tenants of the vii
lage that none of them attack any 9TH
ers in word or deed. with clubs or ar
rows or knives under penalty of paying
40 shillings."
Such entries, frequently occurring, in
addition to the innumerable instances
of individual attack, SANDER, petty
theft and other immortality seem to
show community of far from perfect
virtue.-Lippincott's.
