met his death on his way to a
Chautauqua program, and had been
buried only that afternoon. All
about the entrance the four cross
sections of street were a sight to be-
hold. Characteristic Of our times,
there were more automobiles parked
outside the gates than there were
buggies and, still again suggestive
of process of education, when five
hundred lamps flashed and glared in
movement at all conceivable angles,
teams were not afraid and people
took the fairy scene as too commons
place for remark. Streets and side
walks were choked with human

and the sight was one that will lin

good work under trying circumstan-

excellent. Perhaps the program was
not great, but it maintained good

win larger crowds. Many of the mes

The best thing about Chautauqua
Is that we are to have it next year.

per's Weekly came out With an ex-
