Last night after the party of Chautau-
quans returned from the expedition to the
Wind cave they helped make up the large
audience which greeted Rev. Frank Crane
of Omaha. He delivered his i%nterrogative
lecture. What Will You Do With it?" a
popular address which caught the audience
immensely. as was evidenced by the good
humor which prevailed and the demon
stration noticeable whenever anything un-
usually good was said. He commenced
his lecture by asking what you would do
with a million dollars if you had it, and
then gave the probable answer which a
varied number of people would give. Some
would have a f%our-in-hand with liveried
lackeys and a mansion and all the luxuries
of the world; others would want to be i'm
portant and have the public anxious as to
their every movement: would wantt the world
to tremble when they speak and the people
to wag the way they move their hands.
And beauty would be the desire of many to
whom the coward kingdom of society is
universal empire. But the best thing is
youth. that period when character is form
ed. that age between childhood and ma
turity which is the formation period.
Some people. however. are born young
and when sixty years of life have silvered
their hair you slap them on the shoulder
and say. Hello. Tom. how about your"
Others are born old and even in the cradle
evince a stiffness and hauteur which they
carry with them to the grave. Youth is
the period when you get your flavor: when
you get to know what your life is to taste
like. 1t gives a man his characteristics.
When youthdeparts it takes something from
our hearts which never comes back again.
1 have no. patience with those people who
speak of the thoughtfulness of youth when
the whole future happiness, when the well
fare of those who love him is bound up in
the quick decisions of his young manhood.
In this regard l have but two things to
offer. First. don't be a baby. and second;
be a man. A good deal of the sin of the
world can be traced to babyishness. Don't
cry when you mash your thumb. When
Tommy, aged seven. mashes his thumb
he advertises it by bawling. but when
Tommy. aged forty-seven. mashes his
thumb he simply shuts his teeth together
and bears it. He's a man. Don't tease,
thus making a weapon OF your weakness to
gain a point. Showing off is another of
Tommy's peculiaritles. When company
comes he ushers himself in and occupies
the geographical center of the room and
begins to display his possessions and at
tract the attention of the visitors. Tommy
at forty-seven is just the same. The lee
ture was full of incident and story. The
ghost story of the woman of a golden arm
was particularly interesting and exciting
and made many of his auditors shudder
and cry out. Superstition was touched
upon and from it he drew a lesson on being
afraid. The second division on being a
man was given by DIR. Crane this afternoon.
