'ihe Chautauqua

The Pierian Circle met in the
chapel Sunday, 1890 p. N. All
members were in attendance to
enjoy the excellent programs, and
the expressions Of pleasure derived
from thei program rendered were
unanimous.
Mr.. F. G. read paper entitled
Wealth. "The man who rids him.
self of all mean, small, narrow
thoughts, rids himself of much
poverty of mind; and he whose
thoughts are full of love and toler-
ance toward all the world is adding
to his wealth every day" Lofty
and ideal thoughts we're expressed
by. Mr.. G.
Mr.. r. j. entertained the Circle
with cornet solo, The applause
indicated that his musical treat
was, fully appreciated. Repeti-
tons are in order, Mr.. j.
: Mr.. G. G. r. addressed the Circle
upon the subject, Tie Art of Ora
tory. The subject was discussed
by Mr.. R. in a manner at once con-
vincing, interesting and entertain
ing. His delivery was excellent
and the President complimented
Mr.. r. upon the clear, distinct ex-
preston of subject matter.
Mr.. T. j. w. was the next men,
Der on the program. His paper,
Christmas in b g Department
Store, proved to be sidelights cast
upon the employees of department
stores during the holiday season.
Having had such experience and
opportunities to observe. Mr.. WIS.
paper was of exceptional merits
and interesting to his auditors.
Mr.. Webb was among the breth-
ern and concluded the program
with a couple of his inimitable
melodies. His rendition of A
Filipino Dance was followed, up
on encore, by MySugar Plum. He
seemed to intimate that the Circle
was welcome to the Dance, but
that he intended to appropriate
the Plum.
Mr.. f. E. III. acted as critic and
his criticism of the contributions
was unexpectedly amusing as well
as terse, able and fair. Having
three minutes of allotted time left.
the President generously gave the
Assistant Deputy Warden tn e
benefit by adjourning the meeting.

Dear Mr. Editor:

What's that? You don't believe
it? Well, just to prove it, l am
enclosing herewith few extracts
from this letter that may be of in
terest to Mirror readers.

Nov. 80, 1910.
Dear Boobies:
| am sending you twenty-five
cents toward the "pie and candy
fundy." I am sure I will enjoy
my own Christmas betterif l know
all you boys are having goodies.
am wondering if Jon are hav-
ing any cold weather. Last night
it was down to BID degrees here.
The sun lie always SO bright that
the days are very pleasant even if
the nights are cold.

always keep it. I'll tell you my
heart is with you boys very often
and wish / could do something to
cheer you.
With many good wishes,
Mrs G. Herrick.
Now, Mr.. Editor, as the pie and

So you may draw on mo for that
amount.

Thinks on Things
By J oasssg Steady.

Since the universal acceptance.
by the business world, of the truth
that it pays to advertise, many odd
methods have been adopted in an
effort to solicit trade in all branches
of business. Gilbert Hubbard, pub
Usher of Tie Fra, has hit upon a
most original plan Of securing
subscribers to his excellent pnbli-
cation. This consists in sending
to the prospective subscriber a
most attractive phamplet in the
form OF a certificate, notifying the
recipient that he has qualified for
membership in the Roycroft Frat
ernity, Of which Ebert is High
Priest. The chief condition by
which this exalted position may
be retained consists in yearly
subscription to The Fra. No one
receiving such certificate, provide.
he is familiar with the many ex-
cellent points which go to make
The Fra one Of the most interest
my OF publications. can deny HIM
self the indulgence of such lux
ury, especially when it carries with
it the honors of membership to this
select literary society. During the
past few weeks The Mirror has
been reaching out for subscribers
with gratifying results. During
the same time many methods have
been advocated by which the re-
luctant, but appreciative reader,
might be induced to "come across"
True. good work always advertises
itself, still, In this case there SEEM
ed to be something more needed to
bring about the desired results.
Schemes and devices, many of them
worthy of master Of finance,
were formulated aud advanced, by
which the natives might be separ-
ated from their surplus wealth to
the tune of a years subscription
price. 1t was even suggested that
a plan similar to that of The Fra
be put into action. Surely we can
boast Of as select a society as can
be found anywhere. The whole
thing looked not only practical,
but In every way a winner. An
attractive phamplet, Offering the
dear reader membership in our
intimate society, and presto they
would "come across"-and lynch
us, someone said. No, after all, the
plan, though commendable, is not
adapted TO every occasion. How
ever satisfactorily it may work for
The Fra, The Mirror must be con-
tent to pursue less progressive
policies.

MORE DOPE ABOUT
DIRECT PRIMARY LAW
Copies Of the Law will Soon be Ready for Dis
tribution in the County, Voters Must Reg
ister or They Can't Vote at Primary.

ldaho's new primary law, which
was recently ordered printed in
pamphlet form by the county com
missioners, will be ready for free
distribution IN few days. Copies
can be had by calling at the Exam
liner Office or on Auditor Holmes
at Paris. Some arrangement will
be made by the Auditor for the gen.
eral distribution of these pamphlets
over the county.
As there are many things for vot-
ers 10 learn about this law, it be-
hooves every one to secure copy
and study it's provisions, III order
that they may vote intelligently al
the primary. II is especially
essential that all prospective cand

themselves with the law, SO they
will know just how TO proceed
in order to get their names on the
primary election ballot. For in

must, within FIVE days after the
nomination paper has been filed with
the auditor, file All acceptance Of
SAID nomination, signed by the
candidate. That ia, the candidate
must declare that he will accept the
nomination for the office in ques-
ton, if he secures the majority vote
Of his party at the primary election.
One thing is dead certain, there
is going to be q mighty light vote
cast at The primary election this
year, unless the voters get busy and
register earlier than they have in
past years. Section II of the Pri.
mary law provides that "no person
shall be qualified to vote at any pri-
mary unless he be duly registered
in the precinct wherein he offers TO
vote" Now registration books do
not open until the first day Of Aug

registration shall be permitted be
tween tho close of Saturday pre-
eeding the primary election and the
day following such election. !"
Accordingly every elector who
may wish to have voice IN the
selection Of candidates for his par

appointed registrar Of his precinct

qualified elector, who had not regis

to do if he wishes to have choice
