EPIGRAMS FROM
Jones Lecture
DISTINGUISHED SPEAKER FROM
CHICAGO HELD THE CLOSEST
ATTENTION OF HIS HEARERS
AT THE GRAND THEATRE
LAST NIGHT.

The Grand family theatre was well
filled last night for the Sunday night
lecture which was delivered by Rev.
Jenkin Lloyd Jones. whom the Chi
cago papers name as one of the four
great people Of the windy city.
Mr.. Jones is a man nearly six feet
TALL wears a full flowing gray beard
and is somewhere near 70 years of age.
He is a mastery talker, highly edu-
Gated and has been an observant man
all his life. He is celebrated all over
the United States as a platform orator.
The orchestra of the Grand rendered
a delightful concert prior to the lee
ture
In opening Mr.. Jones said that he
was an alumnus of the log school and
that the school had come before even
the roads had been built. He said that
The Three RS, or A Plea for a Higher
or Better Education, referred to read
ing, 'riting and 'rithmaric.
He said that the higher education
was used by saint and sinner alike,
and that our prisons are filled with
educated men. He had addressed the
inmates Of a United States prison at
one time and found that sixty of them
were college graduates, many could
speak more than two languages other
than the English, and the warden of
the prison said before the lecture that
the speaker must go deeper into mat
tiers than he would for an ordinary au-
dience, for the majority were educated
men. ....
Among the epigrams that he used
during the evening were these:
/ glory in the ambition that pushes
a young man and woman to a higher
education.
What passes as the higher educa-
ton is not so very new, after ALL
There is no torture like that afflicted
by the amateur musician at practice.
The outside of a horse is good for
the inside of a man.
Part of the higher education is rev.
erence. My idea of the three RS is
reverence by an upward look, rever-
ence by a downward look, and rever-
ence by a look around.
The little earthworm was the first
agriculturist.
Respect for the sanctity of all life
should be taught the child from in
fancy.
Even college graduates have a. desire
10 go out and kill and call it sport,
and the same can be said of some of
the women 1 know, am sorry to say.
When 1 want to believe in women,
shut my eyes SO l cannot see their
hats. VI.
l have never met with such discour-
agemenC in any reform that | have
undertaken as that in endeavoring to
get the women to assist in the preser-
walton of the lie of the birds; and
now, twenty five years after the move
ment started in Europe, l find that the
wearing of birds and birds trimmings
in the hats of women is more common
than ever A Chicago wholesale milli-
ner who has several stores told me
that he had received a consignment Of
bird trimmings for hats worth $780,
600, and that this was for only one
store.
The department at Washington
sends out tons of literature in pleas
to the women for the lives Of birds,
but they fall on deaf ears.
Teach the child to use his fingers
and muscles; teach him to say "our"
instead of mine" "we' instead of at"
Millionaires are getting to be so
common that they are positively vul-
gar
You couldn't hate a man If you know
him. knowledge can even make
rattlesnake interesting.
Anyone can like a man because he
likes him, but it takes an educated
man TO like a man he don't like.
The dehorning of the nations is now
going on, and when this is accom-
plished there will be no wars.
