termined to devote himself to their amusement
His lecture consists OF choice collection or anec-
dotes illustrating national character, strung to-
gether by a not very obtrusive thread Of expiana
tory comments. In turn he assumes the
character OF an Irishman, Yankee, negro.
Scotchman, Yorksnireman and dozen other

lecture. Perhaps, however, the art OF rendering
successfully gems OF hum0r Ia as rare and welcome
a gift to the average audience OF the lyceum as o
