Mr.. HoLLIsTER's SPARKLING WIT.
s. ID. HOLSTERS name was down for
an address at the Friday evening re-
ception, and il was quite late when he was
announced, but he responded,
remarking that he thought it had
better be put off until after breakfast.
He mounted the stage and began:
II affords me great pleasure TO meet 40
many people deeply interested in the
cause OF education, especially as II gives
me an opportunity TO call your atten-
ton TO book which desire 10 have in

biography of Christopher Columbus,
whose memory seems to be sadly ne
elected i'm the usual text books. He it
was, by timely discovery, made possible
the existance of the great American
nations and tn him our present pros
perity and high position are indirectly
attributed. In fact, had IL not been for
him, where would we be tonight? Ought
we not, then, TO see To il that the youth
OF our land are properly taught to revive
his memory? That you may form a
clear idea OF the work which has been
mentioned, / will read it's prospectus
and few extracts: This book is de-
signed for use I'm the primary schools.
Ii will be greatly condensed by being run
through hydraulic press. II is To be
printed I'm long plea, taken from the
pixies used i'm the middle ages. IL is TO be
issued In three styles Half bound
with the left side looped up, low necked
covers, and corners cut on the bias; full
bound--with four bands OF hoop iron Sc
curely riveted on, and, hide bound--will
be wrapped in Unframed COW skin, war
ranted hard enough TO turn the edge OF
any knife in the school. The work will
be profusely illustrated with pictures
taken from plates furnished by a spirit
photographer, who lives In New Jerusa-
lem, Pennsylvania. The fronts piece
represents Columbus when he first dis
covered the country. Here MIR. Hollis
ter unrolled and exhibited To his audience
a window show advertisement OF jug,
the land agent" ~ comedian with the
Nellie Walters Comedy Co. This exhibit
ton created a deafening uproar which
continued many minutes When pub
ished, the Introductory price will be
forty-seven cents per copy, and teachers
who assist in getting it into their schools
will be entitled to ninty-eight per cent
discount and chrome. In writing this
book, the author has stretched his ven.
acity to it's utmost limit in order TO Sc
cure historical accuracy and insure it,
moral tone, and has inserted u special
chapter ON narcotics and intoxicants in
order TO comply with the requirements
OF the statutes OF Michigan and some
other states. The reading OF few Sc
lections from it's pages viii readily con-
vince you OF it's mcritorious claims and
secure your cooperation in the noble
work OF circulating this truly valuable
book among the youth Of our land.
Please notice, especially, the simplicity
OF it's style and the peculiar phrasology
which il practically adapted To the com
prehension OF the very young. Here the
speaker unwraps huge bundle and after
LAYING aside numerous papers and strings
brings out book sixteen inches long by
nine inches wide and several inches thick
and apparently well filled with manu-
script, from which he proceeded TO
read.
From chapter 1, which treats OF gen.
ealogy, HISTOLOGY, psychology, and sew
eral other things;
II ia now generally conceded that Co
lumbus was born in Italy and not in
Ohio as might be Inferred from the name
OF the capitol OF that state. Italy,
once the seat OF the Roman empire which
for n time dominated the then known
world, IN now principally celebrated for
it's buried cities, its magnificent ruins, it's
broken nosed statues, it's antique
pictures, it's great volcano, it's brigands,
It's soothing climate, it's impccunious ar
istocracy and it's black eyed girls. Once
the home Of martial supremacy, oratory,
painting, sculpture and music, IL IL now
the great incubator OF opera singers,
poverty stricken artists, vindictivness,
iaziness, baggy trousers and malarial
fever. IL seems TO be "a well authenti-
Gated fact that Christopher's father was
also named Columbus, and IL is further
asserted that he was N wool carder by
trade. Why he should have had any
trade at all in not very clear, when we
consider how much more easily he could
have earned n living by turning the
