cHAUTAUQUA
Nothing Like It"-'Missouri JIM
Was s'ShOwed,'


Down i'll the cabin belt Of the
Ozark Mountains in southern Mis-
souri, where the biggest crops are Oh?
dren and dogs. lived a young fel,o;s
named jim. Drinking, fighting and
working We're Jim's chief qualifica-
tons. He was short on learning and
long on good nature except when
nloonshine whiskey stirred up the
demon within. Where children are
so plentiful, work so scare and wages
so low, enterprising fellows like Jim
naturally push up north to get work
among the farmers.
Jim got a job near little city of
LOO inhabitants that for several
years sustained successful Chau-
tauqua.
jim heard the folks talking about
the Chautauqua. He could not make
out, for the life of him, whether "the
Chautauqua" was flesh, fish or fowl,
He was too proud to reveal his ig-
norance by asking. So Jim just reg
istered vow-slightly sulphuric-
that he would find out what that Chau-
tauqua was anyhow.
Opening day found him in the city,
full of curiosity, and determined that
no one should know that he didn't
know. He saw the crowds going
across the river. Jim followed, paid
his 2oc and began to investigate in
Jim's own peculiar way. He saw
eighty tents with people in them, and
he wondered if people living in tents
was Chautauqua, but said never a
word. He saw the crowds begin t.
gather in the big tents. Full of won.
derment Jim followed.
The Rev. DIR. Green of Chicago was
opening Chautauqua.' Jim listened
He says he "never heard nuthin' like
it,
Not knowing that he could buy a
season ticket Jim went every day and
paid his 25c admission. He just kept
listening and soaking in things he had
never heard nor dreamed of in the
mountain "deestricks" of his bringing
up.
At the end Of ten days, even if Jim
didn't know what Chautauqua was he
did know it was something he wanted,
and every year for six years he has
been there at the opening and the
closing.
Jim is holder now. He goes right
up and shakes hands with all the
talent. 1t is a big thing to have
shaken the hand of Mr. Bryan, DR..
Macarthur or Sam Jones.
Meanwhile Jim has quit fighting and
drinking, but continues to work on the
farm. He has Joined the church in
the city and is president CT the
Christian Endeavor society. He is en-
gagged to marry the daughter of the
farmer he began working for. She is
school teacher. Jim thinks she is
the finest girl in all the country, and
he knows he never could have got he,
if it hadn't been for what the Chau
tauqua did for him. 49,
Jim says, There's nuthin' like it."

HEALTH FOR ALL WOMEN
Why Lose the Buoyoncy Of Youth? Whether Young Old
Every Woman may be Healthy.

To look we'll and feel we'll, you must

A woman's constitution is far more
intricate and delicate-more easily in

would think Of allowing watch to get
all out of order before repairing or
cleaning it.
How many young ladies there are,
who pay no attention to the first symp-
toms of diseased organs. Pains in the
back, head, abdomen, right or left side,
and sometimes in the hips and lower
limbs. Tired and languid feeling in the

Last Thursday as L. o. Bradley was
driving along close to the railroad near
Pleasanton, a handcar came along and
frightened the horse, causing it to turn
short around and upset the buggy. In
the mixup L. o. had his left shoulder
dislocated, one rib broke and received
numerous bruises and scratches. A

horse and assisted Lou to get to Pleas

a careful search of the cellars of the Par
lament buildings has been made each year,
just previous to the convocation of that body.
The gunpowder plot, unearthed only few
hours before the meeting of Parliament, was
exposed, not by the vigilance of Parliamentary
officers, but by means of letter written by
one OF the conspirators to relative, warning
him against attending Parliament on the first
dav of that session. If there was any lack of
official vigilance then, it cannot be said that
there has been such delinquency since, for in

The mounted soldier no longer rides post
