 Dear Sir :-I hope to have the pleas ure of meeting your people again this fall or winter when the weather is somewhat more comfortable and to then deliver a lecture, something over an hour and less than an hour and a half in length, recounting my personal impressions of the many distinguished people whom 1 have met, seen, and heard in my travels and experiences. It will be entitled, Among the Stars" and has to deal with men and women famous in the world of politics, relig- ion, government, theatricals, and fra ternities. I shall hope to give it un- der the auspicies of some of your city institutions, either the High school or something similar. @
 I have suggestion to make to you relative to your High school com mencement next year. You have am- ple space and shade and the weather is usually warm and pleasant at the time of year when you close. Why not have your next one in the afternoon and out of doors? Syracuse university adopted that plan this year with great success. Yours of last month would have been very pleasant if held that afternoon instead of the evening, and out of doors instead of in the hall. The evening could then be devoted entirely to the Alumni dance and reu nion. In fact if desired you could have arranged an Alumni dinner and followed it with dance at the hall as you did the com mencement. Such plan would prob ably have to be financed by being charged at so much a head for the din ner, but if no effort was made to make it elaborate but plain and substantial it would probably not cost your people over fifty cents per head and would bring together once a year about l5O to 200 of your citizens. old and young, who would have the opportunity of re- newing old associate in the schools and city life. A short toast list would make it admirable and would cement the ties of friendship strongly. If this plan should meet with approval the dinner would be held around 6.3O to 700 and take the place of a regular dinner for those who attended and by 800 the speaking and singing would be over and the dancing could at once commence.
 Trusting to hear from you favoraby soon and thanking you for the personal kindliness received from you, l re- main,
 Yours very truly,
 Wayne M. Musgrave. 744 Yale Station,
 New Haven, Connecticut.

Users of the Holsman automobile have only praises for it. Look at what one of them has to say:
 Hamilton, Iowa, Nov 2l, 1906.
 Since receiving my Holsman Auto mobile. October 3, I have been using it every day and it has given good satis- faction.
 To fully appreciate the work it is doing, it would be necessary to see the country over winch must travel: The roads are poorly kept and the hills are bad, but the car will go up any ot them.
 Pneumatic tires would be out of the question on account of ruts, which would ruin them in short time. The high road clearance is quite feature, as it enables me to travel by roads that I could not otherwise use.
 l find the car very little trouble to care for. If half the time is devoted to looking it over that is required to take care of horse each day, 1t need not be in bad order at any time.

who with him followed the Stars and Bars. Of his record as a soldier noth- ing need to be said here. One of a group of brothers who, to man, cast in their lot with the Confectionery, he served that cause faithfully and, scar worn and bullet-pierced, turned away from Apppomattox to be as loyal to the old flag as any of us.
 Those who served with Colonel Chev- es in his active days in the Prohibition reform are growingi few-one by one they are mustered out. These lines will be read by many who never knew him, but those who knew him must for ever remember him as a true man, an humble Christian, brave soldier and a faithful follower of the highest
 gleam of truth that his vision grasped.

News comes to the office of The Ma tional Prohibitionist that Colonel R. s. Cheves is dead. Colonel Cheves for some years past, owing to the burden of years and the inroads of disease, has not been actively engaged in Pro- hibition work, though continuing to rep resent the state of Georgia upon the national committee and acting as state chairman of the Prohibition party in that state, but those whose memories go back Ito twenty-five years ago re, call him as one of the towers ot strength in the Prohibition movemen t, Some of the best work done upon the platform and in Prohibition papers in those years was done by Colonel Chev-
 es. It was he who unearthed the ras- cality of alliance of the liquor inter ests, the g. o. p. and the daily papers of Pennsylvania to defeat the Prohlbl- tion movement in that state.
 As a speaker Colonel Cheves had
 very many of the typical character istics of the best style of southern ora tory. Two or three times the writer of these lines has heard him, under the impulse of great occasions, in the
 flights of extemporaneous oratOry tha [ one seldom hears equaled. His plea be- fore the state convention of Tennessee in 1904, that the veil of the past should be left untouched over the bloody chasm," and that no word should be spoken that should even tend to renew or call to mind in any way the bitter ness of the struggle between the North and the South, was gem of oratory that ought to live as classic in Eng fish literature. ..
 For Colonel Cheves was "a "rebel. . The term is used, not with anything Of the spirit of 1864, but because no other word calls to mind so we'll the courage and devotion and heroism of the men
