more than eight hours day in other
vocations, but there is variety and
education and change in professional
and business life"

the carpenter Of Nazareth have felt
as he saw the toll and want of the
workman. And yet manual toll Is the
workman's contribution to the COM
monwealth. Ought these men to bear
the chief end of the burden when there

While claiming sympathy for the
workman, DR.. Tanner said that there
| is another important claim for them to
respect.
This" he said, "is illustrated in the
servant girl problem. The cruel OPP
preston against servant girls is the
social opinion with which they are re-

Sunday Afternoon.
The beautiful weather which has
| favored the chautauqua all through
! still poured down it's rays yesterday on
the concluding day. There was an ex-
cellent audience present in the after
noon to listen to the Concert Trio, and
Governor Ashton Shallenberger. The
| Concert Trio first gave a sacred con-

Miss Nell Bunnell quite captivated the
auditors with her magnificent soprano
voice. and her renderings OF 1.-THE Lord
My Pasture Shall Prepare" by Por-

sung with fine dramatic effect. Miss
Cassie Mullfneaux played several num-
