the calf of my right leg. Soon the
sore grew larger and continued day
after day, becoming more and more
troublesome. One physician advised

to use rubber bandage. but the sore
grew worse until there was not spot
OF healthy skin as large as ten-cent

A third physician prescribed a paste,
and then a specialist In scrofulous
troubles treated me for a year. The
sore seemed to be healing but in few
months broke out as bad as ever
had now been suffering for more than
five years. My leg was a dreadful
sight. There were places so large and
deep that an egg might have been put
into them. I was told the leg must
be amputated.

THE Raweis," who are native New
Zealanders, and they presented the
story of their native life and their
growth and development into civili-
cation through the teachings of chris
tianity among the people. All OF this
has occurred in the last fifty years
and in many respects it was an amaz.
ing story. Some of their weird native
music was given, boating song, a
war song, a love song and some of
their sacred music. All were peculiar
to the people and their life. The trans
ition from savagery to christian cul-
ture in a few decades reads like a
miracle. but it is still greater to hear
it and see its results. During the ev-
ening the wife, Hine Taimoa, told part
of the story and the manners and cos
tunes of the people were depicted.
The pictures shown were beautiful
and illustrated high order of native
life, and the work that was exhibited,
grass mats and rugs, woven cloth and
other features, tended to prove an ex-
ceptional people. Their entertain
ment was greatly enjoyed. In fact
every attraction that has been
brought forward this year has been a
great success and the people as a
whole are delighted. Every day gives
them something new and pleasing and
as a result, the people who have been
Indifferent are now coming
in to secure their share of the feast.
Well, come on, there is enough for

crowd and they were called back re-
peatedly. The lecture of the evening
was given by Dr. Frederick A Cook,
the artic explorer and he drew one
of the biggest crowds of the Chautau-
qua. 1t was fully as large as the Bry-
an crowd on Saturday, if not larger,
and he was heartily received. DR..
Cooks scientific work in the past has
given him high place among the
scientists and explorers of the world
and he has already been honored by
King Leopold and has received just
recognition from other nations. DR..
Cook has been endorsed in our own
country by Rear Admiral w. S. Schley
General A. w. Greeley, Captain f. b.
Baldwin and many others. He was
introduced by President Edwards of
Penn college, and it is believed that
right from the start he had the full
sympathy and regard of his large
audience. DR.. Cook is a very deliber-
ate speaker and seems to weigh the
importance of every word. The story
which he told was full of romantic
adventure and thrilling interest and
was given close attention.
The interest in his description was
keen up to the point where he told
of reaching the pole. He gave full
information regarding how they took
their observations and these were all
carefully preserved and made matters
of record The vicinity of the pole
was reached on the 21st day of April,
1908. AS near as they could deter
mine this was the center of the
earth's axis and the party remained
there for two days taking observa-
tons and confirming the accuracy of
their location. There was no pole
The surface of the earth at this point
was fiat and they were on a moving
sea of ice. DR. Cook stated that abso-
lutte accuracy of time was needed to
thoroughly establish the exact posi-
ton of the pole and that with the OBJ
servations that were taken and con.
sidering the drifting condition of the
ice, that he had practically reached
the pole, although as a matter of alb
SolHte accuracy ne might have been
twenty miles away. AS far as scien.
titiC research was ConCerner he secur-
ed all of the information that was
needed, regarding the conditions that
exist at the North Pole, and as far
as he was concerned he was thor.
oughly satisfied with the results. The
balance OF the lecture was given to
the incidents of the return trip and
statement regarding the Cook Peary
controversy. DR.. Cooks narrative has
now been before the public for two
years and has been subject to the
most minute scrutiny that invention,
talent and money could give. Not
one item in it from beginning to end
has been truthfully discredited. II
stands unimpeached. All in all DR..
Cooks claim to the discovery of the
north pole is as sound and as valid
as the other claims of discovery or
of achievement, that have been made
by discoveries, who have preceded
him in the Artic or AntartiC regions.
This has always been the verdict of
history and it is proof and the only
proof that any explorer has ever offer
ed. The lecture was full of thrilling
interest from first to last and contain
ed much information which will go a
long way towards settling the matter
in the minds of the people.

SUNDAY AT cHAUTAUoUA.
Day Given over to Religious Services
and Sacred Music.

The sessions on Sunday did not be.
gin until afternoon, SO practically all
OF the campers went down town to
church in the morning and this left
the grounds very quiet. II has always
been the rule TO close the grounds to
the public on Sunday morning and
even in the afternoon and evening
sessions no admission fee was charged.
SO that Sunday is in all respects a
sacred day. The programs are all of
a sacred and spiritual character and,
are fully in keeping with the spirit OF
the Sabbath Day.

Crowd Monday Night.

Crowd Monday Night.
Monday morning was day of rest.
This enabled the busy housewife to
fix up her home affairs, so that the
family could take a new grip for the
balance of the program this week.
We have had royal feast so far and
the remaining days promise to be
equally as good. Some of the best
features of the program are yet to
come. Don't miss them.
Monday Afternoon.
The prelude was given by The
Music Makers, quartette of four live
ly young men, who seem to have mus
ic in their very motion. They have
good voices and the would be a sue
cess even as a male quartette, but ev-
cry one of them has the added ability
of playing one or more instruments,
and so we have change and variety
in full measure. The "MarambaphOne
Band" made a big hit and they gave
The Stars and Stripes Forever by
Sousa, which caught the crowd right
front he start. They were repeatedly
encored and the half hour was all too
short for the demands and wishes of
the people. Strickland w. Gilliland,
the popular humorist, was then intro
duced but this seemed almost I'M
necessary, because everybody knew
him. He came to the front of the
platform and never spoke word, but
everybody laughed and clapped. 1t
is practically impossible to delineate
in any way his talk. He told about
his boyhoOd and how he came to get
into the humOrist business. He
gave incidents of travel and home
sketches and told stories which APP
pealed to every day lif If people. In
terwoven in his talk were little gems
of verse, me and Pop and Mother"
Sleep, Little Sweetheart, Sleep"
when Our Gal Spoke Piece" That
Old Family Group" Little Henrietta"
When Papa Holds My Hand" Gross
ed Fingers" and The Sunset Way"
The people laughed till they cried,
and then cried till they laughed and,
yet, all through his remarks was
vain of common sense philosophy
which tended to brighten the lives Of
people and to drive dull and tiresome
care away. GilIiland is unique and
he is the only humorist in the coun-
try who can hold his return engage
ments and gain an increase of bust.
ness in new directions. His large
audience were delighted with his
work, and he would have just as large
a crowd to hear him again. He don't
seem to wear out.
