"A Day With Our President.

III Blackfoot, inviting the latter to sper
~ Educational Day with the former W;
followed Immediately by a persons
letter from Mrs. Reesor, our distri
IL president, asking the writer to b,
come a guest at her home for tn
9 day. 1t is needless to say how niue
: pleasure it was to respond to sue
thoughtfulness, on her part bot
from social point of view, and tn
: opportunity to talk over much of i'm
portance in connection with the dis
trict work this year.
On leaving Blackfoot, our numbe
was somewhat lessened, and feeling
dampened by drizzling rain, which
by-the-way was the first of the sea
son, and December 7th. When We
cached the Falls, however, and fou16
the bright, CHEEKY faces of Mesdames
Wright and Edmunds, to greet us
and bid us welcome, and genial Mr.
Wright to say he was glad to see us
and Immediately tuck all in a COM
odious auto, whizzing us to our re-
spective homes for the day, we were
glad we were there and immediately
forgot our number and FEELINGS had
ever suffered from too much mois-
ture.
Mrs. Reesor had been away for a
| week, caring for sick relatives; had
been nursing both night and day, but
| was as sweet tempered and aimable
as though everything had been going
on as usual Now we like our pre-
sident and her liege-lord, DR.. J. H.
Reesor, who is at once a dentist of
repute, and producer of dry farm
products as we'll, all of which added
to the influence of the good-wife
seems to have resulted in producing
genial, whole-hearted man of the
house. Yes, DR.. and Mrs. Reesor are
both to our liking, but do you know,
there are four growing daughters in |
the house that are not to be over
looked when one goes around dis
tributing likes and dislikes; not that
there ever would be any dislikes a.
mong them though. They are all
attractive girls, each in turn
possessing sweet graces that belong
to her respective age alone.
The entire morning was spent with
MRS. Reesor at her desk arranging
work for the district that had gotten
behind owing to her enforced alb
'ence the week previous. The COM
nittee work, one of the most import
