the support of this movement.
We must cooperate with the ex-
ecutive committee and let us do it
unselfishly and ungrudgingly. A
Chautauqra enterprise is not a mon
ey-making scheme; it should not be
! dragged to the low and sordid plane
of commercialism. Of course, we
want to break even and we can do it
by small investment that not only
brings present profit but will yield
an annual compound interest in a
higher. nobler and more intelligent
citizenship. Just to mention few
of the good things:
There is the Alkahest Band and
Orchestra, select combination OF
artists and soloists, which makes the
finest Chautauqua musical attracti Jr
ever offered in the South. 1t is com
posed Of ten people and was spec
tally organized for this class OF en-
gagements. 1t is equipped with
brass instruments for street concerts
and full orchestra for stage music.
1t has been engaged for the week.
Then, there is the Otterbein Male
Quartet, one of the finest quartet ag-
gregations ever brought South,
which has also been engaged for the
entire Chautauqua. Then, there is
the inimitable Bob Taylor, who
stands in class all to himself and
who needs no words of comment
for everybody knows him.
DR.. Sears, one of the most pop
ular and successful lecturers on the
platform has been engaged for two
lectures and Sid Landon who stands
without superior, if indeed he ha:
a rival, as an impersonator, has beer
secured for two entertainments.
Then, there is Walden, the ma
gician, and the information come!
from those who know that he is tn,
greatest master of the magic art OF
the lyceum stage.

has not been definitely known. My
grandfather when twenty-five years
old was a captain in the American
army that conquered a peace with
Mexico. AS soon as the war was end
ed he resigned his commission and
engaged in mining, becoming inn
mensely rich. His fortune was left
to my father and at my fathers

While they were going Harry made
confession to his mother. After a
sound rating she agreed with him
from her narrowing position.
When Mary reappeared she was
made heartily welcome. That after
noon Harry went about telling all
their friends that cousin was visit
ing them and arranged for series
of entertainments. He kept Mary
much of the time out with him in
his automobile and devoted himself
exclusively to her. But whenever his
mother proposed to bring the comedy
to close he put her Off 1t was not

had not arrived. Mary was growing
impatient.
Suddenly beautiful machine turn

stopped in front of the house. In il
was Cousin Tom-who else could il

got out and was about to mount the
steps when he looked up at the num-

the next house. Mary, naturally as
Stunning that he was making "A mis-

Too late: he had disappeared.
NO matter. He would discover his
mistake and return. She would wait
for him on the stoop She stood
there few minutes admiring the
beautiful spick and span dark green
machine with its polished brass
moun!ngs. 1t looked so pretty that
she thought she would go down to

seat so tempting that she got in and

Now, the gentleman who had gone
In next door was not Cousin Tom at
all, but Harry Craven, one OF those
graceless scamps who was not likely
to throw an adventure over his
shoulder From the window of his
club-he had called TO re. lenish his
cigar case-he was surprised to see
a pretty girl sitting in his machine
with as much composure as il she
owned it. He was going for spin
and wished she would stay there.
On seeing him approach the lady
smiled, put out her hand and said:
Why, Cousin Tom, what has made
you so late?"
"Iate?"

ward and kissed her through her
veil. Then he took his seat beside
his newly found cousin.
Now commenced a sparring on the
part of the cousinless Mr.. Craven to
prevent detection. He skillfully
avoided committing himself on any
thing till he had learned something
about it from the lady He gathered
that he was expected to take her to
his fathers residence in the suburbs.
1t so happened that his own father
lived in the suburbs, and his mother
and sisters and himself as well. He
turned his course homeward.
Just before luncheon Mrs. Craven
and her daughters were sitting on the
front piazza, engaged at reading and
needlework, when up the roadway to
the house came Harry in his auto. a

seen as result? A steady, contin-

ment. No work done spasmodically
or wasted and the work continues.
Our electric light system has been
improved and other needed imple-
ments have been added to the towns
property. Our present mayor has
shown himself more capable in roun-
ding up law breakers and in execu-
tion. We miss from our streets the
faces of many whom we had the
strongest reason to believe were
nothing more nor less than walking
blind tigers. And some very ques
tionable dives that we had in town
are no longer in existence. Vagran-
