''She goes into society good deal.''
"Yes," was the reply, accompanied
by long drawn sigh.
That sigh caught Mrs. Bradshaw.

Toys of Revolution Times.

The toys of the French revolution
period were characteristic Of that ter
rible time. There are tops whose
shadows cast the profile portraits of
Louis XVI. and Marie Antoinette.
These are turned In lockwood and are
indeed interesting "reminiscences of
toys with the impress Of history. The
children Of the revolution had their
tiny Phrygian caps and danced the
horrible carmagnoles In their play.
Little models of the guillotine were
made to work" and the bodies OF
pigs with heads OF Louis XVI. were
decapitated. Models Of the Bastille
were popular. Playing cards with fig

while the barn and sheds were Of logs,

diverted to another road, and its own
err had abandoned the place. Shiftless
Joe Pinchly had come along with his
slatternly wife and "squatted" there
and raised just enough corn and tur-
nips to keep going. They were sitting
on the rotting veranda smoking as the
peddler drove up.
'If you had any gumption about you,
you could make $1,000 out of this
place this summer" he said.

THE CHAUTAUQUA BkRNUMS
The Redpath-Vawter Chautauqua Sys-
tenn Campaign for 1908 Furnishes
Interesting Facts and Figures.

Readers of this paper will better
appreciate the magnitude of the Red.
path-Vawter Chautauqua System after
reading the following interesting ma
ferial which will convey an approx
mate idea of what it means to conduct
an immense chain of Chautauquas,
one of which is held each year in this
city.
Two Complete Circuits.
Two distinct arrangements control
two complete circuits-Mr. Keith Vaw.
ter of Cedar Rapids, Ia, managing the
Wisconsin, Minnesota. Iowa and Mis-
souri, circuit; Mr.. c. F. Horner of Lin.
coin, Neb., having charge of the Kan.
kas-Nebraska circuit.
A Worlds Fair Rush.
If the gates to the System grounds
had been provided with turnstiles,
100000 paid admissions would have
been recorded. The admission tickets
placed end to end would reach from
Chicago to Omaha.
twenty-five thousand dollars worth
of equipment, ten private cars, are in
cluded in the 1908 inventory of Red
path enterprise This season the
equipment is doubled on the Vawter
circuit, which means that fourteen
complete outfits are to be used for
the Chautauqua pavilions and auxil.
larry tents.
Landlords Made Happy.
Assuming that the average rate OF
$500 was paid for accommodations
the hotel Golfers were enriched by
$25,000 issuing from the Redpath ex.
the aggregate distance covered by
agents and talent, lie would journey
1,117,000 miles. BY way of illustration
he would enjoy two rcunG trip excur
sions to the moon, circumnavigate the
globe eight times: and would have
$4,000 miles left which might be uti
lied for an excursi to Palestine and
back home. Twenty-three thousand
five hundred dollars was spent in rail
road passenger traffic alone for the
1908 campaign.
Bigger Things Promised.
And what can we anticipate fol
1909? Last year ninety-five Chau
fauquas were conducted on the two
circuits; this season one hundred an6
iive will be operated, which means ex
