Some one has said see Rome and
die, but Col. Copeland says see Q
dude and dudene and then die.
H. has given the dude death blow,
at least at Monteagle, and the Eob,
II he were here, has sought sun
nier climc and more congenial COM
paay.
Col. Copeland gave us three OF his
most humorous lectures, whats to
Hinder?" "Snobs and Snobbery" and
'.Seeing the White Elephant"
The inimitable j. Il. DE Witt Mil
ler, OF Philadelphia, with his subtitle
humor and keen wit, delighted his
audience with two as fine 'ectnres
as can be heard on any American
stage. His "Love, Courtship and Mar
riage'' stirred up quite an interest,
especially among the bachelors on
the Mountain, and started several
out in quest of the coveted prize.
His 'sUses OF Ugliness" was COM
fort to all who possess mo- the fasci-
mating charm Of beauty, and gladden.
ed our hearts by adding his own .
magnificent physique and pleasant
face to the list OF homely mankind.
Besides these two famous lecturers
we have had in the past three weeks

or Payne, Of Nashville.
In the pulpit we have had DIR.

| Our "Red Letter Day" was mark
ed by the musical recital by Mrs A.
Blandner, of Nashville, and Mrs. An
derson. OF st. Louis.
The charming entertainments by
Fred Emerson Brooks and ID. w.
Robertson, Of New York, are possibly
among the most delightful Of the sea-
son. Mr.. Brooks bubbles over with
fun and humor, and keeps his audi
ence convulsed with laughter when
reading a comic selection, whilr the
pathos OF the sadder poems touch ten
der chords In the hardest hearts and
fills tie eyes of many with syMpa-
thizing tears The Merry Sleigh 'ell
and Tumbler Soloist has quite
captivated the whole assembly, and
many regrets will follow these men
when they leave Monteagle. These
fine entertainments with the Sunday
school work, schools Of music. science
and language are some Of the feasts
for the intellect, and would that / pos
