announcing the coming Chautauqua to
be held at Garfield Park. June rs. to
July 4, and advertising the special at
fractions which have been secured
The slogan of-the Topeka Chautauqua
association, Meet me at the Chau-
tauqua" is being hera1ded far and
wide over the state. and in the city
enthusiastic workers are out selling
season tickets for the occasion The list
OF events is probably the most attract
i've of any so far gotten up by the as
soclat1on, and large attendance is ex-
pected- Although the complete pro-
gram has mot been made up all of the
entertainers of note who will appear on
the platform have been secured and
the association is certainly to be con-
graduated upon the success which has
been attained in the way of procur-
ing the best possible talent.
The big opening feature on Friday,
June rs, is an address by Governor
Herbert S. Hadley of Missouri. who
will undoubtedly draw a large crowd,
and will give the Chautauqua a fine
send-off. Another attraction of the
opening session will be Gilbert A. Ed
ridge, the clever impersonator.
Sunday the out-of-town guests will
have an opportunity to visit the va
rious churches Of the city, and take
in the sights of Topeka. as the pro-
gram will be a blank for that day.
On Monday the public will have a
treat in the address of L. H. Moore,
commercial traveler-lecturer. 1t is
said that Mr.. Moore can tell more fun
ny stories to the square inch than any
one on the road. A second feature for
the day will be a concert by the quar-
tet of the Orphean Musical club,
which we understand should prove to
be most enjoyable affair.
Edmund Vance Cooke, the poet,
needs no introduction in Topeka. He
will be the central figure at the Chau-
tauqua on Tuesday, and will recite
some of his own clever poetry in his
delightfully."- fascinating manner. 1t
and others from Fin De Steele" bet
ter known as Don't You Know" 1t
runs as given below:
you've one consciousness that's all,
Don't you know,
And one stomach-and it's small,
Don't you know,
You can only wear one tie.
One eye-glass in your eye.
And one coffin when you die.
Don't you known
OF Mr. Cooke Bill Nye says: "None
of the younger poets and few of the
OiueT ones nave CouCIleQ IIly lOuSh Olu

On Wednesday those who are inter-
ested in the juvenile court and its ac-
complishments and sociological prob

court in Chicago will lecture on 1.-THE
Criminal in the Making" For those
who wish entertainment the Caveny
Company will supply a varied assort-
ment of social features. Franklin Ca
veny is cartoonist, clay-modeler,
and impersonator of considerable rep
utation of whom Fred Emerson
Brooks wrote these lines:
"Caveny is witty and artistic
genius,
He makes chalk fly:
He makes the birds fly;
He makes his tongue fly;
And as people laugh and wonder at
these different flies
They are amazed to see how time
flies.
SO take J. Franklin Caveny
If artist you would have any,"
In connection with this entertain
ment Marie M Caveny. who has an
expressive voice Of wide range will

entertaining humOr.
On Saturday Bob Taylor, the only
governor in the South to serve Tor
three terms will be the speaker of the
day 1t has been said of him that he
fiddled himself into office. He was
an enthusiastic left-handed fiddler
and made many warm friends
through the entertainment Wh1cn ne
would furnish. He has the reputation
of being quite witty. me Iolio" ing
quotation gives a good idea OF the
worth and truth of his sayings: This
world is a hanging garden OF beauty
to those who love it; it Is harp OF
a thousand strings to those VINO laugh
and sing.
There will be a number of features
throughout the Chautauqua which
will be of special interest for the emil
dren. Prof John F. Cameron, in
structor in biology in the central
series of illustrated lectures on such
topics as birds and insects in their
native haunts, and their relation TO
agriculture: plants and how they
secure food; shade and forest trees;
mushrooms and toad stools-how to
distinguish them-and many other
subjects which would undoubtedly
prove of interest to the grown ups as
well as the children. MarshalIs banu
will give numerous concerts between
events and there will be other at
fractions galore which will appear at
a later date on the printed program,
II would not do to omit the name of
Prof. Hardy Lane. of Washburn, who

historical dramas.
