TALKED ON DAY DREAMS
Lecturer Wickersham Showed That
Day Dreams Could be Turned
to q Good Account.

The closing attraction of the pop
ular lecture and concert course &C.
CURED in the city hall Friday even
ing, when Rev. L. B. Wickersham,
of Des Moines, Iowa, came to supply
the vacancy of Maude Ballington
Booth. The title Of his lecture was
Ebay Dreams.' The day dreamer
did not appear in the eyes of the
speaker as one who amounts to LITTLE
as they build their castles in the air,
as they do to the average person, but
in their day dreams he discovered
that some of the greatest men Of the
country have come from the dream
of their youth, thoughts that contin-
ually o in their minds of what
they would be, of what they could
do when they reached the age of ma
tulity The examples that he gave
OF the day Greamers we're numerous
and fitted into his subject. His pre-
sentatioa of the subject was very
interesting and was i~nterspersed
With many humorous illustrations
that served to bring out his points
and fix them firmly in the minds of
his hearers. He made an excellent
plea for the boy Of the home, for
him to be given a better chance in
the world. He urged that a freer
exchange ofsthought be encouraged
betweent the father and son, which he
believed would be all the better for
the bov. AS bis lecture progressed
MI. W:ckersham's ability as a
speaker became all the more notice
able and h eproveG highly e%ntertain-
ing as a whole.
The lecture course has been sue
cessful in presenting some excep-
tionally good talent, and from what
we have seen of the attractions en-
gagged for the coming year it will
far surpass the one just closed.

with intense interest by cigar and

general impression is that it viii

Judging from the verdict Of

its promise to supply the citizens df

section. The stands which have re-
Gently been opened in Stone u Mer-
GERS and Sturm & Wilson s--drug
stores have been in operation long
enough to prove that it has set
high standard Of cigar quality and
at the same time reduced prices.
The stands themselves continue
to attract attention because of their
unusual appointments. Purely as
an attractive display of cigars they
excite comment among smokers and
non-smokers alike. But their prac-
tica1 use as a preserVer OF cigars Is
Of course their main feature Its
scientific construction that auto
matically maintains atmospheric
conditions best suited to cigars
seems to have done away with the
usual cigar-stand complaints OF
"too dry or "too moist"
Even the sceptics are forced to
acknowledge that the 1900 drug
gists in the National Cigar Stands
Company can and do buy in guam
titles sufficiently vast to make low
prices possible.
The smokers themselves are learn
ing by direct, personal experience
that the prospects are bright that

reversing the stitch so that the edge
stitches back upon the material in
