CENTURY CLUB RE-
CEIVES FRIENDS AT CLUB
PARLORS

II well begun is half DONE" then
is the Twentieth Century club work
well on its way, for 1t would be diff
ficult to imagine a more delightful
beginning than that Of Tuesday after
noon, when the ladies welcomed a
large number OF their friends at the
Commercial club parlors and set forth
the advantages Of club work in an at
tractiye manner.
The well appointed parlors seem
ed especially inviting to the guests,
who were cordially received by the
president, Mrs. G. D. Akin and her
assistants.
At the opening of well-chosen
program, Mrs. Akin in an address
full Of good cheer and hope, spoke
of the possibilities for the years
work and the aim of the club, ex-
pressing the desire to see all ladies
Of the city cooperate. In closing her
address she presented the club with
gavel made of wood from Mt. YER
non, which was greatly appreciated.
Mrs Akin then called upon the first
president of Syringa club, Mrs. Au-
gusta Packard, who, after referring
to the two lovers of good reading,
who formed the nucleus OF Syringa
club, spoke in most understanding
and entertaining manner Of club
work in general, displaying thor
ough knowledge of her subject.
She was followed by Mrs. Alice
| Sweeley, head of the art department
who, however, did not confine herself
4 to art in particular, but in happy
manner urged unity of purpose
which protends success; each link
must be strong to assure a strong
chain.
| The retiring president, Mrs. Emma
i Cloushek, referred to the splendid op
portunities for club work Twin Falls
offers, speaking in particular OF thu
advantages in having such pleasan
temporary quarters, with the prospec
of permanent home in the new
court house.

The introduction of the industrial
arts into our schools is objected to on
the ground that it will increase our
taxes, The persons who object on
this ground are doubtless among
those who object to the whole school
system for the same reasons. The
question should be, is it a good thing
and is it more important, and Is III
more practical than some of the 9th

this is fact. as | believe, then, II

the less useful things. But | do not

not add materially to the expense OF
the school, aside from the slight ex-
pense of equipment. Teachers can be,
procured who are well fitted to teach
these arts along with other school
work. 1t need not necessarily re-
quire the employment Of any more
teachers.

Why She Was Discharged.

Yes, we got rid of our 'housework'

was a case of the last straw with her.
The woman made a mistake when she
took up service as a professions; she
should have become female sea

"On the third day after we had
engaged her Mrs. called her to the
drawing room, where the dust had
accumulated like gray carpet on the
baby grand. Look, Matilda she
said, 1 can write my name in the
dust on the piano. What does that
show?' The maid contemplated the
hieroglyphics for a moment in very
apparent admiration, then burst out
with, Sure, mum, that shows tn
value of an iddication.'
This was almost forgivable, but
when the next morning the missus
showed her some once beautiful white
porcelain dishes dark with dirt and
grease. and asked her what should be
done when dishes got as dirty as that,
and the maid replied that II she were
the missus she would get colored
dishes cause they didn't show the
dirt 80 quickly it was almost too
much.
THE climax, however, arrived
about two weeks later, when my wife
took her treasure aside, and said to
her gently but firmly: Matilda. you
must arrange to have less company.

get their mail unless they went for 1t

Tom started early, and the day was
long to Jennie; but she was content

gan to feel nervous and lonely.
The thought of the dear ones at
home, the pretty cozy rooms with the
cheerful CRATE fire and the happy,
loving faces, with the brightness of it
all, made her heart-sick and she cried
as only homesick girl can cry. But
soon she heard Toms whistle. and
In her gladness her tears were for

Here Is surprise for you, dear,

said, as he carried a big box into the
house.
"Oh. It is from father, Tom" and
Jennie touched 1t tenderly, as though
1t was real friend from afar.
They had their simple supper, and
then opened the box. 1t was a sur
prise, surely, and very timely one,
for Tom had found it difficult to get
anything suitable for Thanksgiving
dinner.

YOUR LOVING FATHER"
Thanksgiving morning was cloudy,
and the weather predictions indicated
storm; but the minister and his
wife were up early. and with cheerful
hearts they commenced the day.
There were many little duties to
be done. and the turkey was to pre-
pare for roasting: and then they
must both be ready to give an hour
to the morning service.

your sermon; shall expect a special

At half-past ten Jennie went to the
little study, and she saw at a glance
that the quiet of the last hour had
left its influence In Toms face, and
she said. earnestly: 81 feel like sing
ing. There is sunshine in my soul to-
day. and they commenced the service
with that hymn.
Tom had decided that they could
not do better than to read the sermon
the Bishop preached at his ordination.
and "Be ye faithful" left again mes
sage in their hearts /, and when the
hour had passed they felt that they
had been close to the Master. and the
dark clouds of the morning had part

they sang a song OF praise and

places, and Tom asked laughingly IL
she expected company.
Il feel as though some one might
drop In; and how pleased they would
| be to find a welcome waiting for
them!"
A heavy storm had come, and the
wind blew and whistled about the
little parsonage, and the right seemed
wild and lonely enough; but the pies
were as tempting as could be, and the
turkey was done to a turn.

window-a habit she had-thinlsing

dreadful storm" Tom said, as they
sat down to dinner.
He had commenced carving the tur-
key, when they heard voices, and soon
a loud knocking at the door.
Tom opened 1t quickly and asked
the strangers to come In.
"You are very welcome, gentle
men, and Just in time for dinner"
They soon had their coats off and
were warming themselves by the fire,
while Jennie filled the cups with
steaming coffee.
Mr.. Nelson, a prospector for a
large mining company, and a young
man with him, were the unexpected
guests.
They could hardly realize their as
tonishing good fortune. "We were
about discouraged, when we saw your
little light shine out in the darkness,
and knew haven was at hand. We
have certainly lost our wPy, for we
were looking for a settlement called
