At the Woodmen Hall last evening Mistletoe Circle gave a unique enter tainment illustratiug Longfellow's famous poem, Hiawatha. The poem was reaa by Mrs. Fannie Orr Stenson, the gifted Itickreall elocutionist, and a quartet sang it. Dallas Itemizer. One of the penalties for printing the news before it happens. Mrs. Stenson was detained at home by illness, and the quartet decided a few hours before the performance began not to sing. The Itemizer is dated Friday, but is issued Thursday afternoon. The en tertainment mentioned was given on Thursday evening, several " hours after the paper had reached its town readers. In his effort to make it appear that he had reached back for the news, Brother Wash had to reach forward for it, and, as a consequence, he didn't get it all. The printing of news before it hap pens is regarded as extremely danger ous by careful newspaper mon, and the practice is seldom resorted to. Brother Wash's experience reminds us of a Btory told by the late Bill Nye. Bill said that once, while he was run ning a paper in a small western town, a musical entertainment was gotten up by home talent, and printed pro grams were circulated a few days before the date of the performance. Of course, it was expected that Bill would attend the entertainment and give it a great "write-up," but it hap pened that Bill had already made an arrangement of his own for that even ing, and as a result, he found himself In a perploxlng situation. If he attend ed the performance, he would have to give up his own "date," and if he failed to attend, he would have all the performers down on him, and as these included the sons and daughters of all the "prominent citizens" of the town, Bill was up against it. Finally, ho hit upon a happy Idea. He decided to "makegood" all around by writing the story of the entertain ment in advance. With a program on the desk before him for a guide, he told of the great success of the per formance, making particular mention of the fact that "the gem of tho eve ning was a vocal solo by Miss So-and-so, the talented daughter of Major So-and-so, and one of our town's sweetest elngcrs," and a lot more of tho same sort, laying it on thick while he was at It. Then he gave the stuff to the com positor, and went out to keep his en gagement The next morning, after his paper had been printed and delivered, he learned to his great chagrin that the young lady whose singing he had so highly praised had been taken sud denly ill and had not been able to take part in the performance. "For this awkward mistake," said Bill, "I was greatly laughed at by both of my subscribers." About 1200 voters have registered in Polk county to date. The total num ber of voters in the county is about 3000. So far the registration i3 over whelmingly Republican, the Demo crats apparently taking little interest in the approaching primaries. It is claimed that in some precincts life long Democrats are registering a3 Republicans. Whether these men have experienced a change of heart, or have registered as Republicans merely for the purpose of taking part in uamingthe Republican ticket, re mains to be seen. One thing is certain : The indifference shown by the voters of all parties in registering proves that the direct primary system is not as greatly in demand by the people as its promoters claimed it would be. The merchants of Dallas and. the farmers of the surrounding country cannot afford to let the cheese factory enterprise slumber. They will never have a better proposition than the one offered them by Mr. Robinson, and they should lose no time in accepting it. Remember that Mr. Robinson asks no bonus ; neither does he require any contract from the farmers. All he asks is a reasonable assurance that the milk of 250 cows will be furnished from the start, and the factory will come. Talk it up. gentlemen; don't let it rest.
