I9tCl lO aO S0 WitH any uegree Of pleasure if they have to cook all the time they are at home. In fact nobody ought to do any more work next week than is absolute ly necessary. Chautauquas only comes once year, and surely we can all afford a weeks vacation once in twelve months.
 Persons arriving after the lec- ture has begun will be held at the door until the speaker reaches point where the audience will not be disturbed by the entrance. The exact hour when the music will begin and when the lecture will begin IS we'll known, and in most instances there is no excuse for people being late and dis turblng, not only the speaker, but the entire audience.
 Those who heard Dr. Geo. K. Stuart last year will want to hear him again, and those who did not hear him should not miss this opportunity. He opens the Chautauqua Sunday morning, breaches Sunday night and closes his engagement Monday night. Dr. Stuart Is one of the grandest men who has ever appeared at our Chantauqua.
 Judge T1llman should, and we've no doubt will, be given splendid hearing Monday norn- ing. Aside from the fact that he IS home man, he Is a most interesting talker and has never yet disappointed his hearers. The subject of his lecture is ''The Glory, Jest and Riddle of the World and he will give Us something good.
 pr. Thos. E. Green will go to England next year for d series of lecture engagements, hence will not fill very many Chautauqua dates in this country. Those who fail to hear this distinguish ed gentleman in Springdale next week will miss an opportunity that may not come again soon.
