Dr. Walter Mansell was the speak
er at the chautauqua last night. His
lecture is study of life problems
under the title, "The Other Fellow"
Or. Mansell came up to the eXpec-
tatiOns of his audience. He was re-
ferred to in the chautauqua book
let as IAN orator with the rare fac
ulty of adjoining with beauty what
he puts most strongly. His style is
dramatic, direct and aggressive; his
message is clear and full of inter-
est. He feels deeply and his speech
is the expression of convictions. He
is not a spellbinder nor muck
raker, but a powerful voicing of the
more lofty elements of citizenship
in a free country. Throughout
his ministry DR.. Mansell has
had a great following. His
audiences have taxed the largest
auditoriums, and are the best proofs
of his real platform power DR..
Mansell belongs to the younger
class OF platform orators and is free
from the wearisome verbosity that
was once thought to be so essential
to polished platform utterances. He
speaks to the point, and crowds his
addresses full of vital discussions
of interest to live people," DR..
Mansell is not lacking in any es-
esntial the praise that the above
words bestow upon him.
DR.. Mansell said last night: 1--WE
are always ready to blame the other
fellow. We have to marshal our
forces to make things come as we
want them to. To ILLUSTRATES: DR..
Cooley when a young man married
and was at the time earning SO a
week. He made up his mind he
could not support a wife and family
on that sum, SO he decided he would
study and later teach school. His first
school paid $40 a month and he con-
tinued studying until at last he was
offered the presidency of normal
school, but because of vacancy
in the SUPPLEMENTARY of the schools
in Chicago he accepted that position
at $4,000 year. Later he was Of
fered the presidency of a large pub
fishing concern at salary of $780,
900 a year. ~ 1t was a long ways
from SO week to $4,000 a year, but
he had marshaled his forces and
made things come his way.
"We cannot buy success on a bar.
gain counter; we have to pay the
price"
This afternoon an audience Of
large size s.. listened to the lecture of
DIR. Charles L. Seasholes on "The
Man With the Pick" DR.. Seasholes
is famous Baptist preacher hav-
ing charge of a church at Phila.
delphia. His philosophy abounds in
humor and he is a laugh-maker. It.
is delight to listen to him.
The chautauqua will close tonight
with a lecture. by Hon. Frances J.
Heney of California on "The Battle
Against Vice." Also Ia concert by
the Pugh-Riner company. NJ. HeneyI
hardly needs any introduction to
any community in the United States.
His work as a graft prosecutor has
brought him in the public eye and
his name is a household word.
The chautauqua has been very sue
cessful and the attendance has been
the best of any held in Mankato.
The management is well pleased with
the generous and liberal patronage
given the several attractions. The
weather for the week has been ideal
for gatherings afternoon and evening.
Probably the largest attendance was
on Thursday evening when Thaviu's
band was the feature. More than
