FIRESIDE MEETING.

w. H. Wones, commonly called
Daddy" state secretary of boys
work addressed a good-sized audience
at the Y Sunday afternoon. His
subject was "a Good Fight" In
opening the speaker illustrated his
topic. One day as he was going down
the street, Mr.. Wones said that he
saw several boys, who, glancing across
the street, began saying. "a fight, 3
fight Daddy said he looked across
but could see nothing of fight un-
til he caught sight of a post-adver-
tisement of moving picture. The
picture was ti.at of an army of white
men fighting indians. The fighting
spirit is in us all and it is perfectly
natural. The speaker showed how
the fight should be directed towards
those rein otations which beset US
from time to tine.
Mr.. Wonez spcxe a5ont smoking
and as illustrations of what Dromi-
nent men think of cigarettes he read
printed letters from Zen johnson,
president Of the American league,
Connie Mack, manager of the famous
PHILADELPHIA team, in which both of
these men said that in order TO be a
good baseball player, one must abstain
from smoking cigarettes, using
LIQUOR, etc.
There was some fine singing AT the
meeting. This is one OF the features

HELEN KELLER.

Miss Helen Kellar will give a lee
ture on next Monday evening, Feb.
1st, at the Opera house, under the
auspices of the Ladies Literary club.
The subject of her lecture is 'Happi-
ness" The members Of the club
have labored for sometime to secure
a date from Miss Kellar and are I'M
der large expense in getting her
here. But the sale of tickets has been
good and as Miss Keller is wonder
full woman in so many ways, a full
house is assured. Her lecture is pro-
nounced most helpful and delivered
most clearly. She is highly educated
and uses the best of language with
pleasing effect. Considering the fact
that Miss Keller can neither see OF
hear, what she has accomplished in
her life seems most marvellous.

COASTlNG.

This is the time Of the year when
coasting is a great sport for Wausau
young folks. 1t is unlike ice-skating
as snow comes "a ! spoils all just
about as soon as the ice is in good
condition. On the other hand, snow
helps coasting. 1t is very danger
Gus sport when our streets are used
upon which to coast. For instance
East hill is a popular coasting place
and for many years, Franklin street
has been used by the boys. During
the past week, owing to the icy con-
ditions prevailing, boys have been
able to start from the top of East
hill, or nearly SO, and run clear to
Fifth street. Perhaps the best record
ever made was to run to Third street,
but this was when the whole street
was but sheet of ice.
One can see that with the many
automobiles on our streets, run
ming az from twelve to twenty miles
an hour, there is an element of dan
ger which did not exist in the days of
horse teams. There is street used
which runs through the the G. M. &
st. z. park, but this runs across the
Milwaukee road track ard is there
fore dangerous. There have been
several accidents this year from coast
ing on streets. What should be done
is for some of our pen who love out
side sports to map out a course away
from our travelled streets, where coast
ing can be pursued by the lovers of
the sport, without the danger of be-
ing run into by automobiles or pass
ing trains.

DIR. CRAFTS LECTURE.

The noted reformer and speaker,
DIR. w. f. Crafts of Washington d..
c., lectured before small audience
at the Presbyterian church last Fri
day evening. The speaker started on
tour several weeks ago and has been
spending his time since he left the
east in speaking in Illinois and Wis
consin towns. From here he went to
Minneapolis, soon to return to Wash
ington.
His address was on 'That Boy and
Girl of Yours" He began by tracing
the life of a youth, showing that as
an individual one wishes to develop
his own life. He said that self-love
in a young man or woman was abso-
lutely necessary but selfshness was
not. He said that such things as
tobacco and liquor should be Stunned
by young men. From this unit of
self-loue, one passes to the family
circle, consisting of the father, mother

oneself, to do well by the family and
to do good for the community. FL

work of your city, broader than that
of your neighborhood, then still
broadening, you become enthusiastic
in the welfare of your community,

and then the world at large, the last

DIR. Crafts spoke also regarding our
branches of education and of religious
education. He brought out the fact
that Wisconsin is one of the few
states which still bar the bible from
use in the public schools.

HIS EAR CUT OFF

A peculiar accident is reported from
Abbotsford. Fred Wedeking, young
man of that place, slipped and fell on
a bowling alley striking the side of
his. head against the corner Of an
electric piano. No one saw the acct
dent, but few seconds later some
one noticed that one of his ears was
gone: it was the first he had heard
aboutit, but sure enough on making
an investigation found he was minus
an ear. The lost member was found

A LETTER FROM MR.. STEPHENS.

Nampa, Idaho, June 20.'
The recent work of DIR. Newell
Dwight Hills in Chautauquas in Ida
no reminds us of his earlier work as
a young man in NebEaska nurins
the early years Of Nebraska. A. q.
Feuseiain was land commissioner of
the Burlington railroad company .en-
gagged in sale of their land grant.
For one year during that period Mr..
Hills was engaged in Sunday school
work in Nebraska Mr.. .Touzelain gave
Mr.. Hills railway transportation and
also told him where townsites would
be located and urged him to get q
Sunday school started at each pro-
posed towpsita before the saloon
could get in.
The result was that in 1891 from
Hastings to the Colorado line, dis
tancc of 200 miles, there was only one
saloon. On the Union Pacific from
Grand Island in central Nebraska to
the Colorado line in the same year,
there were only two dry towns.
The Burlington land department
sent very large amount of adver-
tisements to England and mainland
European countries. This advertis-
ing matter made mention of public
schools, Sunday Schools and churches
along with statistics of live stock and
grain as the chief inducements TO
bring In sober thrifty people.

GOOD RECORD OF JUDGE BUDGE,

Judge Bulge is making a most en-
viable record as member of the
state supreme court. Since assuming
his duties as member of the court
he has written number OF notable
and far reaching opinions which have
excited favorable comment from lead
inglawyers in all parts of the state.
In an opinion handed down by him
last week in the state supreme court
the practice of boot-legging received
a blow which is likely to drive it
from even the remotest and most is
olated sections of the state. Conse-
quent TO Judge Budges opinion, J.J.
Bouchard. OF st. Maries. Benewah
county, must spend 10 days in the
county Jail and pay fine of 500 for
selling liquor illegally This case was
an appeal from decision of Judge
Robert Dunn of the Eighth Judicial
district, and was based upon the rul-
ing of the court in reference to the
creditability of the witnesses and as
to whether certain phases of the evil
dence in the case should have been
admitted by the court. In his opin-
ion which is considered to be g re-
markably strong one in temperance
circles, Judge Bulge severely con-
demned the practice of boot-legglng
and the methods employed by boot
leggers. In this reference he said:
"The evidence offered in this case
as well as the conduct of the witness
ses upon the trial, and their manner
of testifying, were all considered by
the jury In reaching their verdict. In
this class of cases the difficulty rests
principally in exposing the secret
methods adopted by people engaged
in the boot-legging business. Their
standing In the community is gener-
ally we'll known. The methods ad-
opted in conducting their unlawful
business frequently rises up as silent
witnesses against them and furnish
convincing evidence Of their guilt.
The conduct of the accused during
the trial, his manner of testifying
when supplemented with competent
evidence, though not voluminous, is
/ frequently sufficient to convince the
minds of the jury beyond reason
able doubt of his guilt"

FAVOR YOUR HOME MERCHANT

The Idaho State League OF Com
mercial Bodies has inaugurated a
Buy at Home" movement, in which
the purpose Is to discourage the prac-
tice In some communities of purchas-
ing through mail order houses Not
only does this practice operate to the
distinct disadvantage of the home
merchants, says Secretary Childs in
a letter to the various Commercial
clubs of the state, but it is of no
real aid to the customer
MIR. Child's letter follows:
is your Commercial club alive to
the interests of it's own community?
DO you wish to make your club mem
bers believe that the Commercial
club benefits the townspeople as well
as advertising the community?
Did it ever occur to you that ii
was inconsistent to spend lot of
money advertising your town to get
investors to open up different kinds
of stores and then after they are To-
Gated purchase goods through the
large eastern mail order houses?
Not long ago a carload of goods
from an eastern mail order house
came to certain town in Idaho, and
before these goods could be taken
away, each person had to pay cash
A greater part of the goods contain
ed in the car were carried by mer-
chants of that town, but because the
people bought from the mail order
houses and paid cash, the goods not
only remained ON the shelves of the
local store keeper, but the people
asked that credit be extended to
them.
Is this fair to your own towns
people?
If you will answer this question
fairly, I believe you will agree with
me that Buy at Home league
started in your town will be one of
the best movements which your club
has carried out. While this will call
for effort on your part it will not
cost you or your club any money and
if each club in Idaho will start a
Buy at Home movement in their
town thousands of dollars which now
go out of this state will be kept here
Give your merchants and Idaho mer-
chants and manufacturers first
chance.
The only request | have to make
is that you notify me at once whether
such movement will be started in
your town. We believe that a ma
iority of the towns will endorse this
movement and we wish such towns
to get all the publicity to which such
movement entities them"

FAVOR ROAD BONDS.

While the prospect is not encour-
aging for heavy vote in Meridian
precinct next Tuesday at the good
roads bond election, on account OF the
farmers being very busy at this time
of year, 1t is evident that there 10 a
decided sentiment in favor Of the
proposition.
From local standpoint, 1t is ad-
visable for the bonds to be voted, as
the work will be mostly done in the
country districts. and we will have
feeders built in many places to con-
meet with the trunk lines. Near Boise
most of the feeders have already been
constructed, and as the trunk lines
around there are also completed, GO
ing in different directions, 1t stands
to reason that the money will be
spent outside of that section.
This means that the western part of
the county, covering a section north
and south of Meridian, will be given
larger part of the expenditure.
Two hundred thousand dollars is a
lot of money but the other issue was
the means of us getting fine system
OF trunk lines, and as the cost for the
roads to be built hereafter will be
less, per mile, we will get the worth
of our money.
Last year the state received $10,250
in automobile license money and Ada
county's portion very nearly paid the
interest on the first bond issue. Auto
mobiles are increasing amazingly and
there is a good chance of the license
money in the future taking care of
both bond issues. If not, Boise city
and the Oregon Short Line will pay
the bulk of any tax that may be lev
led, SO that it seems that the farmers
are getting the good roads at very
reasonable figure.
The voters of Meridian precinct can
make no mistake by voting for the
bonds. There is also chance for
considerable employment of local la
Dor If the roads are built in this sec
tion.
