lNaERsoLL ON ROBERT BURNS.

Col. 1ngersoll delivered his lecture
ON Robert Burns in Chickcring Hall
last evening. Tho audience was large
and cordial, and warmly applautlc<l
his hits, although there seemed to be n
sprinkling Of some who were not
pleased at his more violent digressions
on religious points. lilo omitted no
opportunity that his subject afforded
to dcnounce Calvanism and orthodoxy.
The views of poetry and art that hc
found occasion to develop In his effort
to give Burns his proper place In lite
r0ture, while not novel in subsistence,
were so wild anu exaggerated in OK
preston that their authorship would
be readily recognized anywhere. He
had read all tho so-called classical
poets, Homer, Virgil, Horace, Dante,
Milton, and had found them nll in
sufTerably uninterestinE. They were
not poets, none of them. Not ono had
written Il line that showed u throb or
thrill of genuine feeling Tho whole
lecture was full of throbs and thrills,
singing birds, love, joy and gurgltng
streams, which, coming from SO stout
a gentleman as Mr.. Ingersoll, OCCASION
ally sounded n little funny. Milton
was very sublime; so he had always
been told, and he supposed it must bc
so; but he couldn't understand him.
He had read "Paradise Lost" once, but
hadn't read it since. Adarn, making
love to Eve, talked like member OF
tho English Parliament and graduate
Of "IIoXford." .-..,....,
The Greeks and Romans had not
written n line Of real feeling, because
they had no happy homes. Petrarch's
sonnets wcrc lines addressed to another
| mans wife by ono who simulated love
but did not feel it. The first real poet
that tho world has seen WIS Shakes
pcs.rc, and the only one since him has
been Burns. Poetry is tho expression
of feeling by ono who really feels.
Nothing else is poetry. Tho rCal article
can be appreciated only by ono who
has himself fclt, who has himself loved,
or boon gricf-strickcn. TO such aS have
not, tho simulated emotion is ~ good
as tho real. F .r..-E
Burns was one who felt what lie
wrote. lie was born in IL mud howell,
in abjcct poverty, but with II great
hoart and strong brain. Hc saw mis-
cry all around him, while on ono land

PETER CARTWRIGHT.

American pioneer preachers was Peter
Cartwright, who was born In Amherst
County, Va, in 1885, and died at
Pleasant Plains, ILL.,, in 1872. When
he was u child, his parents removed to
Kentucky, where, about 1901, he was
converted through the instrumentalfty
of an itinerant preacher, and Joined
the Methodist Episcopal Church. He
was ordained as a Deacon in 1906, and
and as Elder in 1908. In 1872 he was
appointed Presiding Elder, and acted
in that capacity sixty years the last
forty-tive in the Illinois Conference.
During his ministry he received more
than 10000 members into the Church,
baptized more than Il, 600 persons, and
for thirty-three years preached, ON an
average, four sermons a week. His
"Fifty Years Presiding Elder" aud
his "Autobiography,"e edited by Rev.
w. p. Strickland, ID. d., are q perfect
storehouse of characteristic anecdotes
aud "reminiscences. Among these we
find the following: H4.
One day, ON approaching ferry
across the river illinois,, he heard the
ferryman swearing terribly at the SER
mons of Peter Cartwright, and threat
ening that if he ever had to ferry the
preacher across, and knew him, no
would drown him In the river. Peter,
unrecognized, said to the ferryman:
"Stranger, I want you to put me
across"
"Wait till Pm ready" said the ferry
man, and pursued his conversation
and structures on Peter Cartwright.
Having finished, he turned to Peter
and said: . .l.
ssNow I'll put you across"
~, hi ~ ho if1611o If of ron m
Peter threw his horso's bride over a
stake in tho boat, and told the ferry
man to let go his pole.
"What for ?' asked the ferryman.
"Well, you've just been using my
name impropcr-likc and you said If
ever 1 came this way you would drown
me. Now you've got II chance"
els your name Peter Cartwright ?'
asked tho fcrryInan.
"My name is Peter Cartwright"
Instantly the fcrryman laid hold OF
tho preacher but he did know Peters
strength, for Peter instantly seized
the ferryman, and, holding him by tho
napc of the neck, plunged him in the
water, saying:
81 baptize thcc [splashl in the name
of Satan, whose child thou art"
Then lifting him up, dripping, Peter
"Did you ever pray?"
uNo.''
ssThen it's time you did,
"I'll do no such thing!" answered
the fcrryman.
Splash! splash and tho fcrryman
was in the depths again.
"Will you pray now ?" asked Peter.
The gasping victim shouted, tsI'll do
anything you bid me!''
ssThen follow me-tOur Father,
which art in Heaven,'" etc.
Having acted as clerk, repeating
after Peter, the ferrylnan cried:
"Now let me 60 ~
"Not yct," said Peter. "You must
make three me promises-1st, that
You will repeat that prayer, morning
and evening, as long as you live I'd,
that you will hear every pioneer preach
er that comes within five miles Of this
ferry and, Sd, that you will put every
Methodist preacher over free Of expense.
DO you promise and VOW 2"
81 PROMISE" said the ferryman and,
strange to say, that very man became
shining light in tho church.

perhaps the proprietor and performers,

and yet an attempt is being made to
punish a respectable citizen for at.

the police authorities, Fortunate
", however, the impudence Of the
dance house keeper has aroused q good
deal Of indignation, aud the faal result
Of the litigation may be the closing Of

forced. One was quite recently defeated
