TALKS ON TEMPERANCE
s'Give the Boys a Chance" Pleaded
Hon. Chas. J. Hall.

The Temperance Chautanqua was
continued on Saturday with Prof. w,
A. Gardner as cornet soloist and Hon.
Chas. j. Hall in a lecture on Give the
Boy Chance" Mr.. Hall is a vivid
speaker and by the Introduction OF
experiences and stories in connection
with the points of his subject he en-
forces home the truth of his reason
ing in fOrceful manner. His spec
ial plea was for the training and edu-
cation OF the boys and girls along the
paths Of usefulness and TO save them
from temptation and downfall. Spec
ial music was supplied by Prof. Gard
ner, accompanied on the piano by
Miss Abbie Clayton. Miss Clayton
also furnished fine piano solo for
the entertainment of the audience
and 1t was much enjoyed.
A special quartette was present in
the evening from Penn College con.
sisting of Misses Ethel and Bernice
Shoemake, Cora Mattison and Cassie
Conover, accompanied by Miss Clay
ton on the piano They rendered
several vocal selections with also e
piano duet and their services were
much appreciated. Mr.. Paul Shelton
of the Saunders School of Music was
again present by request and gave
another evidence of his ability as a
whistler. He has certainly a great
gift in this novelty and he handles
his work with judgment and skill.
Prof. Gardner gave some selections
with his cornet and then Mr.. Chas. J.
Hall was introduced and gave his
lecture on How to Measure Man"
The various attributes which go to
make up complete man were con-
sidered and il was found that mind,
heart and soul, as they have to do
with the true formation of character
was the just measure of the man, as
lie should be. A man is known also
BY the company he keeps, by the way
he treats his friends, by the way in
which he oyercomes difficulty and
lastly by his moral principal and
these together determine the extent
Of his brains and backbone. The
lecture was replete with humor and
sound advice and was much appre.
ciated by the people.

DOG AS A CATS BODYGUARD
Strange Animal Friendship Reported
BY Men Constructing Big
Chicago Building.

Chicago.-Awaiting the time when

with a cat, sleek black tabby. but
has been its protector since the days
Of kittenhood, passed amid the hustle
that attends the construction OF a sky
scraper
No one dares lift a hand against
the cat when Jack is present. No one
Of the workmen in the new building
would attempt to do so, but Jack
stands guard nevertheless. And the
tortoise-shell cat that the Women's
Athletic association left behind when
It moved away is accorded scant op-
portnnity for peaceful rest as she
approDriates the black sisters bed Of
straM Jack sends her flying in an in
stant, splitting and clawing and with
tail IN air.
The strange friendship began when
the work on the building, now near.
ing completion was begun. Al little
black kitten was established in the
Office Of the construction company
with the duty Of providing a little ex.
element for visiting mice. A week
afterward Robert Anderson. superin-
tendent Of construction, picked up
starving and freezing dog in the
streets The dog crept into corner
near the firebcx of the engine. The
men fed him. He soon gained conn
dence in himself and permitted the
workmen TO pet him.
Now this was the Kittens favorite
place, and she did not like intrusion
She arched her back and scolded Jack
IN feeble imitation Of a fullgrown cat (
but the dogs unruhied GOOD nature
won her over She made friends with
MIN. Later the workmen found the
Two curled up together in the empty
barrel which had been the private
abode Of the kitten.
