WHICH THE BETTER PLANp

The Redpath Chautaudua System, as
the incorporation which will put in the
1908 Chautauqua in this city is called,
Is an instance of brains, energy and
capital. May reduce cost while raising
the standard of products. Hundreds of
public-spirited citizens in Missouri and
elsewhere know how the management
of Chautauquas bear upon the few who
must do the work. Thousands will re
call the regretful twinge that came
with the call to make good the deficit
they had personally guaranteed. The
multifarious disappointments by can
celed dates the rainy week, all the
various troubles of the home manager
of the home Cbautauqua. And to the
men who had done the hard work and
the burden of the day, worst of all was
the criticism that freely followed the
call on the guarantors.
The Redpath Chautauqua System
grew out of need. The Chautauqua
is a fixed fact. Committees will have
it. 1t belongs to the progress Of the
day and the age. The question was,
how to have a successful assembly at
minimum cost and trouble. The Red
path System solved it.
The Redpath Lyceum Bureau is the
greatest purveyor of lecture courses,
etc., in existence. The greatest talent
finds its market there.
Out Of the great Bureau grew the.
Redpath Chautauqua System. It's
Western manager saw the need and the
opportunity. The summer season was
the slack period Of the year in Lyceum.
He was in touch and in contact with
the great minds and popular entertain
ers. 1t became matter of selection.
balance, organization.
Last year the Redpath System fur
nished Chautauquas for thirty socie-
ties. 1t owned it's own trains, tents.
seats and all its equipments. 1t Drew
magnificent program from the great
est names. It came asking nothing but
legal support in the trial. It's success
was immediate and unprecedented. So
great indeed that this season it fills
100 dates instead Of thirty, doubled it's
transportation facilities, bought new
equipment entire, new big tents proof
against sun and ordinary storm, new
seatings, and holds six Chautauquas
every day. 1t is no longer a question
of acceptance. It is now race on the
part Of the Chautauqua to keep up
with the demand.
1t brings to Chautauqua program and
management years Of expert experience,
the ability to make long contracts with
talent, the skill to place this talent in
its proper place for the best results. It
makes the cost Of Chautauqua the
price Of season ticket to the indi-
vidual. 1t rakes the continent for the
newest, biggest and best.

worthy of note as showing the feeling

There is a plain redundancy in at

Hobson to any American. Captain
Hobson made the ceremony of intro

Santiago and sunk her in the path of
Cervera's feet. Next morning the
world knew Hobson, and history,
which delights in heroism, will never

On Friday night he decided that he
would see a few sights. Along in the
small hours Of Saturday he was on Forty
second street, with an idea that the most
direct way TO the Gilsey was by means
of a cab. A saloon keeper helped him
into a night hawk and went back TO get
some change that Mr.. Murphy had lett
on a small table The saloon keeper was
more than ordinarily kind. because he
saw the lodge emblem, and he thought
that Mr.. Murphy must be OF consequence

getting into the cab with Mr.. Murphy.

Then he took the detectives to a sa-
