called at the back door and pre-
scented a note to Mrs. Pike which
said the bearer was deaf and dumb
and had just recovered from
typhoid fever. He was also broke
and hungry and wanted something

band, who in turn called the
hurry-up wagon.
This circumstance wrought a
miraculous cure, for when Detective

smaller cities that have formerly held
street carnivals during the summer
have this year abandoned the idea and
tried the Chautauqua as summer en-

should receive hearty support and en-

carnival never does anyone any good

on a~downward path which is never

it has not single elevatlng quality.
The Chautauqua is of a different ma
