John Temple Graves.
Sunday Afternoon,


Had Dr. c. E. Sawyer, who presided
at the Sunday afternoon meeting of
the Chautauqua, known 1t, IL would
have been unnecessary for him to in
troduce John Temple Graves as a ma
tive Of the South His flowery ora
tory, coupled with that Difference for
all members of the so-called weaker
sex which is "a characteristic of all
men of the South, marked him as a
man who spent the first years of his
life south of the Mason Dixon line.
1t was indeed rare treat to lis
ten to that silver tongued orator and
ESPECIALLY so on the subject which he
chose. A striking contrast to Opie
Read and Governor Glenn who dealt
with cold hard facts In plain English,
John Temple Graves Deals with the
cold hard facts but he does IL In more
elegant and more flowery language,
Oft times ascending into flights OF
oratory which are captivating and
almost enhancing.
Mr.. Graves was TO have spoken on
"The Reign of the Demagogue" but
because of the large number of
ladies in the audience with the con-
sent of the management of the Chau-
Itauqua, the subject was changed to
"The Goth Century Woman"
In his opening remarks Mr., Graves
spoke of the uI.ion which has been
cemented more firmly between the
North and South largely because or
the life and policies of the late VIII
liam Mckinley.
Beginning with the Biblical account
of the creation of man, Mr.. Graves
waXed eloquent In describing the
scenes which greeted the first man
when he opened his eyes and beheld
the first world, the garden. the first
flower, the first brook and realized
that he was the monarch of 1t all.
Yet with all of the granduer and al.
of the possession, he was not satisfied
because he was alone,
God saw that IL was not good for
man to be alone and he has thought
so ever since. Bachelors are freaks,
monstrosities out breaking sinners,
who should have a tax imposed upon
them" declared Mr.. Graves.
On the evening ofthe first day, Eve
was created and here again the speak
er became almost eloquent In describ-
ing her charms which had not been
affected by the styles, and in telling
of Adams sensations as he awaited
her approach. Yet with all of her low
liness and her own charms, Eve had
not been In this world week before
she got Adam into trouble, but she
took her medicine and did not COM

farmers choose TO take little time
and trouble they can increase the
crop in weighed bushels from 20 TO
30 pei cent on the same acreage, and

1t costs no more to feed and raise
well bred shorthorn steer than il
