IN A FAIR EFFORT.
Humorist Was Nothing Out of the
Ordinary.

| Lou J. Beauchamp Of Hamilton, O.,
alleged to be humorist, and who
took four minutes of his time TO admit
that he was really great man, adj
dressed the chautaIcua assembly
Tuesday night on the subject, The
Age of the Young Man" If Mr.. Beau
champ has done all he claims for him
self, one must admire him and no one
can say the advice he gave to young
men is not worth following, but all
told his effort was very mediocre
Most of the stories told, long ago anu
sed the pioneers of America while the
majority of those heard for the first
time, had little point.
The theme of Mr.. Beauchamp's talk
was that this is truly the age of the
young man and that there is no bet
ter opportunities for a young man
than in America. Frequent examples
were cited in which poor boys had
climbed to places of Importance in
this country. The experiences of Gar
field were told in pleasing and utter
esting manner.
Mr.. Beauchamp'S first piece of adj
vice to young men was to strive for
manhood. He said that it is nothing
to be able to make a living, any one
can make a living except a helpless
invalid in the hospital or hopeless

Rap at the Dudes.
Boys were warned against being a
dude. Then dudes were given some
hard raps. "A dude said the speak
err, lis a man who would be woman
if he could. A dude dresses his body
and lets his mind go naked"
1t was shown that reputation and
character are not synonymous. The
definitions given for them are: Re-
putation-what man thinks you are.
God knows you are.
Lots of us have character on Sunday
and reputation the rest of the week.
Character is the fundamental founda-
ton of success
The speaker urged young men to
find their calling and then aim at
star. They were warned against pick
ing a calling which is beyond them.
A story was then told to illustrate this
point of a woman who first sought to
paint china and spoiled a number OF
good dishes in doing so. Then she
tried her hand at writing and failed
there, too. Finally she married an
honest laboring man and went to the
kitchen to master what was to be
learned there. She was particularly
adapted to making potato chips and
here Mr.. Beauchamp made the obser-
walton that he would Just as soon eat
shingles If they had butter on them as
potato chips. The point of his story
was, however, that the woman became
an expert at making potato chips and
soon began selling them. The bust
ness grew rapidly AMI short time
ago she sold the good will of her bust
ness for 100000.

to the young men was Seek We first

Story of Her Imprisonment an Inter-
esting One.

According to Col James E. Shaw,
the appearance here of Mrs. Florence
E. Maybrick should be one of the
really big things of the chautauqua
Mr.. Shaw has had Mrs. Maybrick at
several of his chautauquas this year
and she has pleased immensely at
each place.
Mrs. Maybrick is the American wo-
man who was confined in an English
prison for fifteen years on the charge
of having poisoned her husband On
coming from prison Mrs. Maybrick
was without means. She resolved to
study prison life in America and tell
her story broadcast. This work she
began in December, 1906 and has been
at it constantly, ever since.
In July, 1889, in Liverpool, England
Mrs. Maybrick was tried and convict
ed of causing the death of her hus-
band by poison. The evidence was
admittedly insufficient and Mr. Mat
thews, at that time home secretary
acknowledged that there was reason
able doubt of her guilt" Within the
year the justice before whom she was
tried became hopelessly insane, and
lawyers state that in his summing
up of Mrs. Maybricks case the fact
is clearly revealed that his mind was
not normal. Petitions signed by
prominent people both in this country
and in England were repeatedly sent
asking her release, and many notable
lawyers interested themselves in her
behalf. A petition which created
profound impression was signed
among others by Levi P. Morton, the
vice president of the United States;

James G. Blaine. secretary of state;
Charles Foster, secretary of the treas
ury; Cardinal Gibbons and Generals
Breckenridge and Ewing. Lord Rus
sell, Chief Justice of England, made
her innocence. She was sentenced to
be executed, but this was committed
to a life sentence, which in England
means twenty years imprisonment,
but by good behavior" according to
the English rule, this was reduced to
fourteen and one-half years.

DIR. BRYAN ON ACCEPTING A CALL
Believes There Is Ripe and a Right
Time

Dr. Bryan. in his address before the
teachers this morning, brought OFT the
point that there is a right and a ripe
time in the life of every person when
he should accept his calling and be en-
couraged in it. Many examples were
given to illustrate this point. Espec-
ial emphasis was laid on training chill
dren who show an inclination for a
certain line. DR.. Bryan believes there
can be a calling for law. medicine,
preaching, farming. or any other phase
of work as much as there can be for
the ministry.

A new phase of the friction between
the officers of the Brattleboro Il White
hall railroad company ana the Central
Vermont railway company has appeared
in demand made upon the Central Yer
mont for passes for the officers of the
Brattleboro & Whitehall road. The de-
mand is made by j l.. Martin. clerk OF

based on an agreement made Feb 9. 1905.
that the officers should have annual pass
es and that the stockholders OF the road
should have free transportation to and
from the annual stockholders meetings
in Brattleboro. The Central Vermont has
refused to issue the passes on the ground
that this would be a violation of the state
law against a railroad company giving a
pass or free ticket

mOrtgagcd to the New London road a
branch of the Central Vermont road sev-
eral years ago. and was operated by that
road under a lease In February. 1895.

company consented to the foreclosure on
condition that $4,000 of the first mortgage

paid to it. also that the passes for the
officers and transportation for the stock
holders be furnished. The passes have
not been furnished and If they do not
come promptly the next step will be to
