were familiar to me but most Of them
were strange" The valleys were mar
rover, the hills not SO tall and every
thing looked different. Even the girls
are not as pretty as they used to be
and the men don't grow as big as they
did years ago."

fruit but have very little this year;

And the End is rot Yet More Good
Things are on the Program

Every day is the best day at the
Chautauqua, with the next one, If pos
lsible, little better. The truth is that
not single program has been pre-
pared that is not Of high order and in
teresting. Do the people Of Chicka-
sha know that the talent on this pro-
gram cost oyer sl7oO? The separate
lecturers est from $50 to $3.50 each
and money cannot procure greater
platform stars in America.
Yesterday afternoon and evening
the Fulcher entertainers furnished the
miscellaneous part Of the program.
They went to Hobati this morning. Mr.
Amsbary also went to Hobart TO fill
an engagement at the Chautauqua at
that place but will return tomorrow.
Today the Evans Male quartette and
Edward Reno, The magician, came
They appeared first this AFTERNOON and
will entertain the crowd again this
evening. Reno has a great store cf
wonderful feats that amaze and mys-
tify the spectator.
Tomorrow evening Congressman
Landis Of Indiana viii be heard and
Saturday evening will come one Of
the most colahrated man on the nrn-
gram, Captain Richmond Pearson
HobsoH. Those who are competent to
criticize pronounce Capt. Hobson's lee
ture magnificent and the big hall
should be packed for him.
Senator Dolliver, one Of the great
orators of the nation, is on the pro-
gram for Monday evening. Keep
these good things in mind and don't
miss any Of them.

OVER 100000
VOTES CAST.
10 the Democratic Primary Estimated
win Raach 10000

Oklahoma City,, June 20-HI believe
when the ballots are all received It
win be found that fully 10000 votes
were cast in the recent democrat
ic state primary election, and we al
ready know from the votes returned
that form 5000 to 10000 more votes
were cast at the primary than in the
constitutional delegate election last
fall" said w. L. Chapman, secre-
tary Of the democratic state central
committee
I'm view Of the fact that one-half
Of the counties in the new state were
unorganized, it is wonder that the
returns were 50 complete as they were
for only the counties Of Cimarron and
Logan remain unreported.v
1t is reported that there were only
ZIG votes cast in Logan county and
Logan county democrats were So
downcast by the small party vote that
they will not make report to the COM
mittee.
A very surprising fact in connec-
tion with the vote on United States
senators is that while 100000 were
recorded in Oklahoma, only $4,000
were cast for this office in Indian Ter
ritory.

GREAT ACTOR
LECTURER
Enteltains the Chautauqua With Wit
and Wisdom Of Shakespeare
Fools

Frederick Warde, Englishman by
birth, American by choice since early
manhood, actor and lecturer, enter
tanned the Chautauqua last evening
with his lecture, "The Wit and Wis
dom of Shakespeare's Fools" It was
undoubtedly a great loss to the stage
when Mr.. Warde retired to take the
lecture platform, but the work that
he is doing as public educator, in
moulding sentiment and cultivating
a taste for and knowledge Of the works
OF the great English poet, is prehaps
Of greater value than anything he
could have accomplished had he re-
manned on the stage. AS interpreted
by Mr.. Warde the plays of Shakes
peare instead Of being the possession
Of The chosen few, become the delight
Of the multitudes of all degrees Of
culture.
Mr.. Warde's style as lecturer is
his own and in his platform work
he displays the qualities that char
acterized him as an actor. "A splen-
did voice, magnetic presence, ease and
grace in action, his deep knowledge of
his subject, his classical language.
and his flashes Of wit render an even
ing spent with him rare delight.
The lecturer began by giving the or
igin, history and characteristics Of
the medieval fool or jester and then
drew upon the various plays for illus
trations. Besides the examples Of the
wit and wisdom sof the testers, many
passages were read to illustrate the
quality Of Shakespeare's fancy and the
closing reading from the Merchant Of
Venice was fitting climax to the
whole evening.
