THEODORE rILrox.s LECTURE.

The lecture delivered by Theodore Tilton
last night at the Congregational church
drew a crowded house, a goodly number
being present from surrounding towns.
The speaker was introduced by Bartlett
Trip, chairman of the lecture committee.
He prefaced his remarks with the state
ment that this was his first appearance on
Dakota soil and then vent into the subject
of "The Problem of Life" The develop.
ment of character was the problem set forth
and to attain it wealth, power, fame, learn.
ing and happiness were not requisite. Hi.
demand was for a purer condition of public
and private morals, a better education o.
rising generations and equality ofthe sexes
All these matter,pertained to the formation
Of character. Each point in the discourse
was amplified and a comprehensive compar.
ison drawn between the morals of the
a~ncients and the morals of the moderns
Though his deductions we're not fatterine
to the people of to-day they were 80 clearly
living truths that no man can gainsay them
The lecture vas the polished effort of
scholar who has added experience to the
knowledge he has derived from books.
Tilton'ha grown old fast in the past siz
years. A silver shade fringes his lone
locks and his face is scared with the heavy
burrows of care. Fo1tilude was his leading
theme last night, but with all his will DOW
er it is apparent that his fortitude does no,
prevent trouble from placing its mark upon
him. He has grown, too, cynical in his
thoughts and sarcastic IN his uttcrances
These are tie differences between Theodore
Tilton OF today and Theodore Tilton as VIZ
remember him a few years ago. He
has lost. however, nom of his brilliancy az
q speaker, and still stands the peer Of the
best.
Last nights lecture was the most salts
factory of the course. We hope that others
equally as good may follow. An interes,
in entertainments of this nature is gradually
growing and it should be fed and encuur
aged to liberal dimensions.

it nc were not content,a the idea of being a

"but should be exceedingly ashamed at
having such a fool!" 1t was this fool who
once tried his masters nerve by rushing in
to his room one morning with the exclama-
ton: Oh. sire, such news! Four thousand
men have risen in the city!" "What?"
cried the Startled king. With what inten-
ton have they risen?" "Well," said Jean,
placing his finger upon his nose, "probably
with the intention of lying down again at
