An Object Lesson.

The American citizen in Boise has been feeling
mighty small during the disgracefu1 week that ends
with today His home environment has been in
vaded by alien host, alien though it came wearing
the livery of the republican party a party distin-
guished for past patriotism and life giving heroism
that its country might live.
Ecclesiastcism placed its hands upon the state as
it had before and American manhood shrrnl
and shrveled and cringed under the dctation of an
nsolent priesthood
Delegates who came to Boise from Gentle homes
all the state confessed the shame that fell upon
them when they found that the master hand of the
hierarchal machine had destroyed their power to act
as the representatives of a self governing people
They made to realize their own nsignihcance
when they found that the bishops and the elders of
the Mormon church consulted only among themselves
when differences of Importance arose in relation to
the course of the republican state convention
They ignored their Gentle allies, deciding mat
tiers of moment in secret conc1aves that assembled
here and there behind closed doors and gave no
thought to the rejected Americans who were cooling
their heels in the outer 1obbies of the SANITY host
For the first time in the history of the state the
oath bound emissaries of the Salt Lake theocracy
found themselves in full control in a gathering of
the party they have espoused and in their deirious
folly they exposed the mailed hand where the ex-
per1ence of seasoned conspirators would have sup-
geSted self restraint and hypocrtcal pandering
Their work was exceedingly raw, proving the
unw1sdom OF the hierarchy in turning loose its hordes
apart from the cautious leadership of the trained
men of the inner circle
1t may prove to be valuable lesson to Idaho this
prematurey arrogant assumption of power, for many
of the delegates to the convention learned in ? few
days that which would not have assai1ed their con-
victon after years of argument
Gentle delegates to the convention held in Boise
have gone home sober, whereas they were drunk on
prejudice and partisan pride and had been for a
longer period than is morally hea1thful Great good
10 Idaho may come out of the ido1atrous gathering in
Boise that has just closed its un-American carnival

Hattiesburg is a thriving city Of ap-
proximately $4,000 population. Its
growth is one Of the marvels Of the
fast expanding South, due to natural
resources such as are possessed by NO
other town or city in Mississippi.
Hattiesburg is the center Of the vel
low pine belt of South Mississippi, the
greatest timber belt in the world.
Four great systems of railroad radiat-
ing in seven directions. with numerous
baranch Lines, make Hattiesburg the
Wholesale and retail distributing point
of all this vast country for distance
of more than fifty miles in all direc-
tons.
Hattiesburg has numerous manufact
uring plants and wholesale and job
bing houses representing practically
all lines, and the merchants of the
smaller towns within radius of fifty
miles can buy cheaper in Hattiesburg
than in the larger cities, deducting the
difference in freight rates.
The retail trade Of Hattiesburg Is
second to that of no city in the State.
Stores are large and stocks are COM
plete. Prices are always reasonable.

LEGEND OF SANTA CLAUS.
Stockings Hung on Door OF. Mother
Ahbess In French Converts.

There grew up custom in Christian
countries Of giving presents In secret
on the Vigil OF st. Nicholas.
In Italy 1t was called the Zopasta,
which means in Spanish shoe, be-
cause the gifts were put into shoes to
surprise people when they should put
them on in the morning.
In many French converts the board
ers used to place each her silk stock
ing at the door of the room Of the
Mother Abbess, recommending them
selves at the same time to ST. Nicholas.
And in Germany q boy dressed as q
bishop would so round in vestments

came to be kent here with much care

and ceremony on the feast of ST.
Nicholas to commemorate his youth
and his patronage of children. In
Salisbury cathedral there Is, or was,
a monument to one Of these boy
bishops who died during his term Of
Office. The same custom was observed
in Spain, and in Switzerland until the
end of the eighteenth century. At one
place in England, the convent OF God
stowe, in Oxfordshire, public prayers
were said by little girl dressed as an
abbess.
The custom, stopped here first by
Henry VIII and afterward by Queen
Elizabeth, was in a different form
carried on by the Dutch in America
and became In the end the secularized

"Who provides the meals here at
great trouble and expense?"
"You do, my dear Mrs. Skinem."
"Who sees that the people of this

to eat?"
