BROWNING REUNION.

Mrs. Mia Tupper Maynard, B. L..
graduate of Chicago university, gave A
most interesting lecture last Friday af :
ternoon at the Cumnock School of Ora
tory, 210S Hoover street Her subject
was The Life and Message of Robert
Browning, being an introduction to a
course of ten lectures upon that great
poet which she is to deliver in the same
place during the next ten weeks, begin
ming Thursday, February 4, at 3 p. m.
The name of the lecturer is warrant for
their excellence, and she needs no COM
mendation to cultured people. The op-
timism Of Browning Is ever healthful
spiritual tonic, and especially so at a
time which makes a Max Nordau pos
sible and the extremely low terms ;.f
admission, so cents for single lecture
and $3.50 for the course, place itwithin
the reach of almost everybody
The introduction, though forming no
Part of the course, was we'll attended
and listened to with the deepest inter-
est. The lecturer proved that she had
not undertaken what was beyond her
powers, and evinced that quality which
insures to her audiences an intellectual
menu of the most wholesome viands.
She dippeth her subject in her own
heart first" Her diction is simple, plain
and eloquent; her style incisive and
clear and she exhibits that thorough
knowledge OF what she is treating, with
out which success in her exalted subject
would be impossible. There is little
doubt that if there is love in this com
munity Of the true. the beautiful and the
good, these lectures will find a hearty
appreciation and prove popular in the
best sense with the thoughtful people of
Los Angeles, who are to be congratula
ed upon the privileges afforded them.

a dose of poison and thus end all his
troubles But providential inspiration
came to his aid in the shape of combi-
nation of medicines that not only COM
pletely restored the general health. but
enlarged his weak, emaciated parts to
natural size and vigor, and he now de-
clares that any man who will take the
trouble to send his name and address

treatment free. Now, when l say free
