great tears streamed silently down

A sweet face, with a background
of light golden hair hanging about
the neck and shoulders, peered out
of the last car door, her little nose
pressed almost fiat against the pane

figure standing there in the gloom.

appreciated by the crowd His work,

remarkable and his imitation of the

thing he did In this line.
AS juggler, Garretson is one Of
the best ever seen In Ottumwa. He

II tell you the fellow who is onto
his Job Is an educated man." said
George l.. McNutt, the dinner pail man
in his lecture at the chautauqua last
evening. A large and enthusiastic au-
dience was present to hear the most
original speaker of the day. Without
the usual fowery introduction accord
ed all former chautauqua speakers,
Mr.. McNutt leaped onto the platform
with one bound and hopping the hair
out of his eyes opened his remarks.
There are two faculties of educa,
tion,' he said. Zone is the ability
to use your brain. The other the abil.
ity to use 1t before some one tells you
to do so. That is what made Lincoln
the greatest man in America" he said,
followed by cheers from his audience
"If you've got brains and use brains
your head gets bigger" the speaker
went on. IT you don't put your brains
to use your head grows small to fit

MERGE today that's the greatest i'm
portance to the world. It's the pro-
blem Of creating big men that really
confronts U.S."
Mr.. McNutt in his plea, for the din
ner pail man spoke encouragingly Of
the prospect ahead in the labor reform
movement and the betterment of the
conditions of the laboring man
"There's difference between the din
ner pail mans boy and the preachers
boy" he said II never teach my
boys to sing L want to be an angel l
know it's a lie and know they know
it's lie."
"The boy has as much right to a
place to play as the man has right
to place for business operations, "
Mr.. McNutt said in his appeal for
the small boy. ~ haven't seen any
sand piles, any open tennis courts
any open basketball courts for the
boys in Ottumwa," Mr.. McNutt said
suggestively People don't seem to
realize that the kids have right to
liberty and the pursuit Of happiness.
/ tell you what's the matter with wom-
an who said to her maid every few

The collar is made OF dyed blue lace in
squares of about six inches each all
