A Delightful Lecture.

Capt. Osborn H Oldroyd took a walk
ing trip thru England, Scotland and
Ireland q. year or two ago. He went
that way because he loves to walk, and
he wanted to learn about the people
as they are. He must have had a de-
lightful time, for he has been relating
his experiences in lectures, and they are
most entertaining. Capt. Oidroyd took
snap shots of about everything in sight
while there, and his pictures in proper
colors are a delight 10 the eye. He
seems to have seen much of the life
that escapes the notice of the average
traveller. and to have seen these things
in such genuine human way that he
brings laughter and tears closely upon
each others heels. Capt. Oidroyd had
often heard his grandfather describe
the life of the common" people over
there, as Lincoln loved TO designate
them, and as a boy made up his mind
that when he could he would take this
trip. and he would walk. as his grand
father had walked. He was nearly SO
years reaching his ambition, but he
made good use of the opportunity when
he got the chance. Added xest Is given
the entertainment by Miss Emogean
Newland, who sings the National and
home folk songs thruout the lecture.

The very latest story to come to
Washington is that William Jennings
Bryan, who will have rest of a few
years as a Presidential candidate, is GO
ing TO write play, "drammer." so to
speak. and that he may himself take
the hero's part in it. Won't that be
funny? He proposes to write novel
first, then dramatize it, and then he will
elocute in the stars part in that play.
Mr.. Bryan is building a magnificent

poets to retire from the lecture plat
form. he says, and will spend the years
of his retirement upon the Texas farm.
