Good Enough For a Girl.

A father and mother, says a British
weekly, had brought their month-olr
twins to an East London church to b.
christened. All went we'll until tn
rector asked, "And what is this child
name?"
The father drew himself up and re
piled, "Haig Pershing Foch Marn-
Mons Lloyd George Clemenceau
Jones'"
The rector gasped. Then, taking q
deep breath, he turned to the mother
who was holding the other child. "And
the name of this ?" he asked.
The meek little women smoothed her
dress and whispered, MAUD"

An old drill sergeant was so much
given to using bad language toward his
men that some of them complained
about it, and the commanding officer
told him he must stop the abuse and
soften his explosives.
The following morning the sergeant
was in charge of a very ragged squad
and after keeping silence for a con-
siderable time he eventually burst out
with:

Fairly Good Income.

Charles E. Hughes may not have as
saycd 10 per cent as a presidential
candidate back in 1916, but as a law
yer, and as a money getter in the lc-
gal field, it doesn't seem he has an.
serious competitors.
Friends of the former Republican
candidate say that his income is ST.
OOO,OO0 a year. If he really makes
that Sl,O0O,OOO Hughes is making more
out of strictly legal work than any
other lawyer in this country.
Hughes present income is in strik.
ing contrast to what he received as a
Justice of the u. S Supreme Court
That position pays S14,5OO year.
When Hughes was defeated for the
presidency some said he made a mis-
tame in resigning from the Supreme
Court in order to run. But did he?
What really happened in November
1916, was that voters in this countr,
kicked Hughes upstairs into a position
paying about sixty times what his for,
mer one had yielded.
So busy is Hughes law office on
lower Broadway that attorneys say he
has enough work on hand and offered
him to keep him busy for the next
hundred years.
He'll be very lucky if he gets to fin
ish it. He was SO years old on Apr

ATTRACTIONS INCLUDE
BIG WILD WEST SHOW

There had been hitch in some of
the preliminaries arising in connection
with the coming Lemhi county fair
until meeting of the Business Mems
association and the committees of the
fair called for last Wednesday evening.
Then the hitch was Strengthened out
for a strong pull altogether for the
usual success of the fair.
1t was determined to put on a wild
west show instead of devoting money
to the promotion of horse races. which
had heretofore been disappointed to
the lovers of this sport. Owing to the
fact that the race course has been
leased it was arranged to hold the wild
west doings over in one of the An
drews lots on Main street. right on the
sidewalk. Advices have been received
to the effect that the attraction Sc
cured is crackerjack in its class and
will interest old and young as nothing
else would.
Mrs. Fred Crandall has been ap

opening next Monday.
The attractions this year are pro-
nounced uniformmally high class all
the way down the series Of entertain
ments.
One of the new features this year
will be the regular appearance from
day to day of program carrying the
numbers on the bill besides special
announcements by the Salmon bust
ness houses. This feature will be of
special interest to Chautauqua peo-
pie who avail themselves of the op-
portunity of visiting the stores while
visiting the Chautauqua.
F. T. Hardwicl, who arrived as the
advance agent and director on We'd

out the series of the entertainments,
giving his personal attention to all de
tails.a He. comes here from Everett
Washington, where he is an educator
in charge of the junior high school
He looks his part as a man OF fine
presence and intelligence. Miss Cleo
White had been designated to have
charge of this Chautauqua. but her ill
ness has caused this change.
