DRUGGIST.

the lecturer diverged from the
line of dis course to remark that
we despise what is near and acces-
sible. There were persons living
within a few miles of Devils Lake
who had never taken the pains to
visit it, yet he saw in it's waters
and surroundings marvellous beau
ty. Lowell on his way to visit a
famous battle field of Europe ask
ed the boatman who rowed him if
he had ever seen it. Confused,
the boatman answered he had not.
Lowell rebuked the man for his in
difference for so famous spot.
"Why,' exclaimed the great Amer
ican, II have come all the way
from Boston to'visit this historic
scene"
"Boston," responded the man,
"why, that's in America. There's
where Bunker Hill is. I remem-
Der reading about it in my school
book when boy. I have always
wanted to see Bunker Hill. Please
describe it for me.'
But Lowell couldn't do it be-
cause he had never visited the
most famous battle field of the
revolution, was compelled to admit
as much, this time to his own in
stead of another's confusion. So
there are hundreds ofpeople whose
homes are just over Wyandotte
cave who have never entered it's

portals. IT'S distance lends en-
chantment to the view" Were
Wyandotte cave in Australia, the
lecturer thought we would know
more about it.
From the dining room Mr.. Nc
Intyre carried his hearers to the
senate chamber, where they revel-
ed for time amid stalactites, sta
tagmites, pillars and columns.
Here the explorers met party of
Kentuckians who had brought a
singer with them. and as the ora
tor described the wonderous effect
of one of her songs in this great
subterranean depth, the audience
broke into round of applause at
the marvellous word painting.
On deeper into the mystery they
went, through purgatory, a low
rooted vault, finally emerging into
what is called the grand dome.
This is the largest room in the
world, the lecturer said. In the
center is the Hill of Difficulty, 14O
feet high, formed by a fall of rock
and earth from the roof. st.
Paul's Cathedral, London, could
be set inside this room and it's
lofty spire would not touch the
roof nor the walls touch the sides.
Yet there is neither pillar or COL
umn to support the mighty arch.
Up the Hill of Difficulty the party
toiled and from it's summit, as the

OnQuOuuuuQ. s.
Devils Lake day at the Chau-
tauqua was rounded out with an
evening of refined pleasure such
as had not been equaled during
the 1900 assembly. Two features
stood out prominently in the pro-
gram of enjoyment and will not
soon be forgotten. One was the
singing of Miss Lindsey. She
all her former efforts
and fairly thrilled the audience
with the melody of her song. The
other feature was the lecture by
Rev. Robert Mcintyre. 1t was
a superb description Of one of the
great natural wonders of creation,
for Thirty Hours in Sunless
World' is the story of visit to
Wyandotte cavern, in Indiana.
The exercises of the evening
were begun by the Dixie Jubilee
Concert quartet, and it can truth
fully be said that their singing,
combined with that of the other
members of the chorus, contributed
in no small measure to the plea
sure of the hour. After them
came Miss Lindsey, who sang with
such marvellous effect, and then
the speaker of the evening was
introduced.
CDR. May has told you who 1
am," said Mr.. Mcintyre, land I
will tell you who I am like.
Standing on a street corner in
Chicago one day, I saw two men
come out of saloon staggering
under the white mans burden.
Looking at me, one of them said
to his companion: Say, Bill,
that fellow looks like Mckinley,
Qaughter.) Il hope" added the
speaker, "that the resemblance is
more than skin deep"
Mr.. Mcintyre said he had
travelled in many countries and
had found that there are two men
who go everywhere. One is the
American. He asked an Irishman
one day if there was any road the
Americans did not travel. Pats
answer was, as he pointed upward,
"only that one."
The other fellow who travels
everywhere is the preacher. II
met him in every nook" said the
lecturer. He then told the story
of an old negro who was employed
by a party of theological students
to wait on them. The old darkey
had one serious fault. He would
steal. At last he was reported to
the president of the college and
was called before that worthy and
given an awful lecture. Seeking
to make a deep impression on the
aged offender, the president wound
up the tongue-lashing something
after this fashion: Here you are
an old man. You will die soon
and 20 to hell, there to remain
through all eternity. What will
you do then?'' Il Specs res
ponded the aged descendant of
Ham, "that I'll do just what I'm
doin' now-wait on preachers. :"
This story brought down the
house,
Having put his audience in the
happiest mood by these tales, Mr..
Mcintyre said he would lead them
through the caves of Wyandotte,
in Indiana, q journey of % miles
under the roof of the world, down
where the thunders that rock the
earth are never heard. Such q
journey is not like journey in q
cellar, for the air is of the purest.
That might seem strange to the
I e.
Devils Lake inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, Ramsey Co., Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1905, 1900-07-27

These two caves, could we live
without sunlight, said Mr.. Nc
Intyre, would be the greatest pull
monary resorts on earth.
He then spoke of the mysterious
ness and greatness of the caverns,
but which is the greatest. Wyan-
dotte cavern or Kentucky cave,
only God knows. As to the mys-
terry, it is like ghost that keeps
step with you as you wander
through the labyarinths. Men
could say they had seen Niagara
Falls and the Yosemite, but there
lives no soul that can say, II have
seen Wyandotte cavern or Ken
tucky cave" The best one can say
he has spent SO many days or
years in them.
The lecturer next introduced
the audience to the mouth of the
Wyandotte, an opening half way
up hill, 20 feet wide and\ 7 feet
high, through which himself and
party, led by an experienced
guide, entered the cave. At that
moment the sunlight was pouring
into the doorway Of the great
cavern, and at this point began
description that it would seem no
word painter could surpass.
Starting in where he first saw the
mighty effulgency Of the great orb
of day meet the oceans of darkness
in fearful conflict, the speaker
carried the vast audience through
wonderous scene Of beauty, dark
ness silence and awe. Down
through Faneuil Hall. as the first
chamber is called, he led them, in
to the Columbian, along Washing
ton avenue to Falling Rock, into
Bandith Hall, where a band of
counterfeiters once had their dens
and the shadows seemed more
gruesome, thence by road fork
ing to the right through many
rooms, into the Bridal Chamber
where an Indiana maiden who had
promised her dying mother never
to wed on earth a certain man was
afterward married to him, thence a
mile or two of undescribed jour
neying and down a road to Fat
Mans Misery" This was wall
of rock IL feet thick through which
the only way Of passage was by
means of small hole at the
bottom.
Here occurred an incident, the
description of which was most
amusing. There. was a fat man
from Ohio with the explorers.
His name was Jackson, and Jack
son, who was the last to pass this
barrier, had terrible time getting
through the aperture. He was
just little bigger than the hole,
and the way he groaned and strug-
gled and moaned and swore, as he
wormed his way into the opening,
was astonishing. HE forgot that
there was a preacher within ten
miles," At last his hands pro-
truded from the opening, and the
speaker and another man grabbed
them and braced themselves for
the tug of war. How they pulled
at first in vain, but by continued
exertion they brought Jackson out
with a pop, the buttons flying in
all directions. The audience
roared with laughter at the humor-
GUS picture of this incident.
The explorers were then in what
is called the Dining Room, from
the fact that, q perfectly formed
table arises from the floor. On it
we're thousands of visiting cards
deposited by former underground
tourists. Here the party linger-
ed for q while, and then
