The Governor was SO much sur

voice he intimated that he wouldn'

ures of reform he had on his hands!
A good house greeted dorado
Taft Tuesday night in spite of the
bitter cold. The lecture was very
entertaining, partly on account Of
its unusual character, and mainly
because of the aptitude of the sculp-
tor lecturer. His ready use ct
words in illustration was as clever
as the dizziness of his fingers in tn,
clay transformations. He talked al
the time while he worked with his
hands and kept the audience anus
ed with his ready wit while the in
terest in his modelling was sustain
ed throughout the evening. The
lecture was one of the most enter
tanning of the series thus far.
