CHAUTAUQUA IS OVER
Friday Afternoon.

If the dog and bird show was past
due it was received with all the moro
enthusiasm by all the little boys and
girls who stayed over to see it. The
tabernacle was crowded, and there
was no standing room in the rear,
while deep fringe of people occu-
pied the sides. The dogs were well
trained, the birds wonderful,-so won.
derful that there is something I'M
canny about them. Those small, ST.
lent soldiers, who obey the word of
the trainer so promptly have some
thing about them that has super
stitious effect. Everybody watched
the birds and dogs and everybody
cheered most heartily.
After brief intermission, the as
sembly was called to order and lis
tened to solo by Miss Patti Lind
ner, Serenade-Tosti. Miss Lindner
was great favorite here couple Of
years ago, and her friends were anx.
ious to hear her again. Nor were
they disappointed in tneir hope of
good music. Miss Lindner's voice, al
ways sweet, has grown and developed
much power since she left Oskaloosa.
After the music the canvas for
Chautauqua stock began. Rev. Zendt
ably pushing 1t by an explanatory
talk. The committee went among
the audience and met with a crafty
ing reception. Miss Parks contriLut-
ed several solos during this period.
At its close Rev. Somerville intro
duced Rev. George Stuart, who be-
gan his lecture on "Lop-Sided Folks"
( He declared a thoroughly rounded
character was a great rarity. Most
people Topped to one side or anol~er.
He wanted men who can think, men
, who can weep, men who can laugh,
he did not want them to become a
, crank on business, on social life, or
on religion. He wanted his ideal man
/ thoroughly developed physically,
mentally and sentimentalIy. DR.. stu
art is a long, lean Tennesseean, who
has something of the pronunciation
ana mannerisms of the South. He
says "laik" for like, and "kyant" for
can't. He is entertaining and knows
lot of good stories, but he is built
up too much on the Sam Jones style,
and filings the terms "foo" and "ras-
cal' around almost as promiscuously
as does that other Southern preacher.
Like Jones he inclines to broad Jokes,
but he lacks the originality of the
only Sam. ...
Friday Evening.
The evening session musical num-
bers were furnished by Miss Parks
and by Prof. Burnett, both of whom
were generously applauded, and as
generously responded. The accom-
paniment for Miss Parks was played
by Miss Mae Millar That for yur.
Burnett was played by Mrs. Healy,
who has done most of the accompani-
ment work of the session, and who
has been greatly praised for her skill
full work.
Then came the bird and dog show
of Prof. Pamahasika,-andt this time
we have spelled his name right. The
canaries went through their evolu.
tions. The dogs barked, wheeled
each other, jumped through rings,
went to church and did all sorts of
remarkable things. The big $4,000
Polly played the American eagle
climbed the ladder, took the long
slide and rolled on the ball. The par
oquets did their acrobatic feats
marched and put out the fire. Grown
people and children were alike pleas
ed and the Chautauqua ended in great
enjoyment.

 Every indication points to the fall ure of Congress to legislate at this ses7 sion regarding the Panama Canal, and this will insure the construction of the canal on the lock plan, reeommended by the commission and approved by the President.

The retreat would also afford the apos- ties an opportunity to report more mi- nutely to the Master the experiences or their trial trip, two and two, through Calilee. from which they had just re- turned. So the boat which had been chartered for Jesus and waited upon Kim" was employed to put the weary toiIers beyond the reach of the multi tudss that pressed upon them even at meal times. Head winds prob ably drove the little bark near the shore, and retarded It's progress. Clan- destine as the departure had been, it falIed of it's purpose An ever-aug- menting throng hurried around the head of the lake. and probably apprised some pilgrim caravans to the Passover Of the coming of the great Nazarine. So, when Jesus's bat ran it's keel upn the peb- bIy shore, there stood 5000 men, not to mention women and children.
 So, far from being irritated by this Toil,ne of His plans, Jesus's heart was touched to pity at sight of the shep- erdicss flock, and He began at once to instruct them in many phases Of the doctrine of grace. In the absorbing in- tarest of the theme, neither Teacher nor taught observed how the sun was dipping to the western horlzon'
 But the commissary of the apostolic college suddenly awoke to the situa- tion. Five regiments! and no stores on hand or any country to forage upon.

 It Is appreciated that any attempt to reach decision on this question it Is most desired to avoid.
