HINSDALE, N. H.
Impressive Lecture BY Prof. eaumsard'

Impressive Lecture by Prof. 6aumeardt.
News was received Friday night from
Prof. B. r. Baumgardt that because of
unexpected engagements he would be
obliged to change the date of his
lecture in Hinsdale and would be here
Monday, but neither this short notice
nor the storm Monday evening prevented
a large attendance, nearly all the seats
in the hall being filled. Supt. II. II.
Pratt, in few cordial words of greet
ing, expressed Hinsdales appreciation of
the goodwill and sacrifice which Prof.
Baumbardt was showing in coming to us
without remuneration. At the suggestion
of James OBrien the audience arose to
express its thanks and appreciation. In
response Prof Baumgardt said: This
is the time you have me nonplussed.
Next to my own home, Los Angeles,
there is no place toward which my heart
turns with greater fondness than to
Hinsdale."
1t is impossible to do justice in a
brief review to the lecture on "Napo-
leon" which followed. Prof. Baumgardt's
is a master mind and his scholarly
grasp of European history and condi
lions in Napoleon's time, his thorough
knowledge of the life and character of
Napoleon, together with his marvellous
command of English and his ortorical
ability, served to place these before his
way that it left deep impression. The
lecture was the result of years of study
and research, during which Prof. Baum
gardt has repeatedly visited all the Ma
poeonic battlefelds from Madrid to
Moscow, while from the art galleries in
Europe, the Louvre, Versailles, Chantilly
and Fontanebleau, as well as the gal
leries in ST. Petersburg and Moscow, he
has procured the remarkably artistic
lantern views.
Particularly impressive was his por-
trayal of the marvellous development of
the boy of nine leaving his humble
Corsican home with all his belongings in
| a handbag, living five years later in a
Partisan attic in half-starved condi-
ton, to the man, who, 20 years later, by
his own unalded genius, had made him.
| self Emperor of France and dictator of
| Europe, compelling even the proudest of
| European potentates to bow in submits
sion to him. He did not hold Napoleon
| up as an ideal. Far from it, but with
| all his weakness" he said when we
| test his greatness, we seem to meas
uring mountain with tape. The time
| will come when all these battles will be
| but so many echoes Of the past, but
never will the time come when what
| Napoleon did for France and for man
| kind will not be felt. The impetus he
| gave to human progress was for all
| time. The world is better for his having
| lived"
For six years we have had the pleas
| ure of listening to Prof. Baumgardt, but
| never has his audience been so profoundly
| impressed by his lecture and by his
wonderful ability and personality as in
this latest lecture. But beyond his
| power as a lecturer, he has won the
| hearts of the entire community by the
generous self crifcing spirit which he
| has manifested in coming to Hinsdale.

Happy Gathering Of Four Aged Women

on the afternoon of Monday, Feb. &c,
three of her neighbors and friends, Mrs
Julia II. Jones, Mrs. Julia NJ. Fay and
Mrs. Maria w. Barrows, met to con-
graduate Mrs. Emily II. Estey on the
anniversary of her birthday at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. =. F. Amidon. The
combined ages of these women was 1852
years Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Estey SO and
Mrs. Fay and Mrs. Barrows SO,
One passing the room in which they
were assembled and hearing the amusing
stories and happy conversation never
would have thought it a party of elderly
people. They were much entertained in
admlring the profuson of beautiful
flowers and shower of postcards besides
other gifts from many different towns
and friends well as from local
friends. At an early hour dainty
tea was served. The table was attrac-
lively laid with flowers and ferns and in
the centre was a silver candelabra with
wax tapers and pink shades.
The place cards bore the name of each
guest and on the reverse side was the
name of Mrs Estey with the dates 1879
1912 in gilt letters. These We're held in
place by little German favors of turtle
doves, emblematic of the month. At each
place was also a facsimile market basket
daintily decorated, filled with violets and
tied with violet ribbon. The birthday
cake was the browning event of the oc-
casion and was brilliantly lighted with
many candles and the figures "93'' were
artistically Incorporated in the frosting,
and in honor of Lincoln and Washington
the tiny stars and stripes rose from the
centre.
1t is unusual for any town to boast of
a company OF women of such advanced
years and remarkable physical and men
tai preservation. When adieus We're said
they were as enthusiastic as young girls
in anticipation of similar occasions
Much regret was felt over the enforced
absence of one of the guests, Mrs II. c.
Emery, which was the only shadow to
mar the occasion.

In a statement that has been given
out by the officers of the Geneseo in
stitute, attention Is called as to who
should make special effort to attend
the sessions of the short course. 1t
says:
Every farmer who believes in bet
ter farming, should take it upon him
self to invite his neighbor, wife and
children within radius of two miles
to attend these sessions Every land
lord should take special pains to in
vite his tenant to come, and the far
mer can we'll afford to see that the
hired man attends as often as pos

FARMING COURSE
PROGRAM IS OUT

A tentative outline Of the many in
teresting features that are to be part
of the program for the short term
course in agriculture and home-mak-
ing to be held in the township high
school, Geneseo, Dec. 80 to Jan. 4, is
announced today. This short course
in Geneseo is the only one to be held
in the northwestern portion of the
state this year, and while it is in
of the Fifteenth congressional dis
trict, it is certain that many Rock Is
land county farmers and citizens in
general will avail themselves of the
opportunity to gather authoritative in
formation on problems of the farm.
Officers of the Geneseo Farmers in
stitute, who are behind the short
course arrangement are applying
every energy to make the coming ses-
sion a special success. Frank s.
Haynes, president of the institute, Is
informed that there is probability
that if the course to be given at this
years end comes up to expectations,
short course, modelled on more elab-
crate lines, and under patronage Of
the University of Illinois, will be es-
tablished permanently in Geneseo.
The people of Geneseo will look af-
ter the comfort of all who attend the
short course sessions. No tuition
charge is made. All the privileges in
connection with the five days program
are free to those who avail themselves

Wagner's Summary

Chicago, Nov. 22.-Ernesto Danvers
cabled the N w. Miller Wednesday
that Argentine crop has good outlook,
but heavy rains are causing alarm.
One local story covers holding of
1900, 100000 May wheat here and an
other covers idea Kansas City will
send a lot hard wheat to Chicago
Provisions hold the chance of mod
crate break.
Farmers selling very little. Enor-
nous husking task which rs about 20
10 % per cent above last fall seems
to be holding the movement of corn.
| Anthony Kas reports wheat 100 per
| cent in three counties south central
! Kansas. Cables are firm. Brokerage
| houses opinion as served up on the
ticker are Jesse bearish. There is quite
change in the underlying feeling.
May be we are in for a few more
rallies in all grains particularly after
dips. It's clear and cool all over the
west this morning. Wonderful wealth
er. Gerenal news suggests shorts may
give wheat and corn an upturn.
New York, Nov. 22.-London weak
er. this largely due to rumors of Prus-
sian mobilization. Lawson of Boston
is out with a lengthy newspaper item

tend the life of the so-called money
