Chanute Musicians
Will Give Concerts
Santa Fe System Employees to
Hear Mrs. Hattie Emer-
son and Associates.

ri am especially pleased at the
arrangements made because of what
it will mean to my pupils who make
the trip" said Mrs. Hattie l.. EN-
erson Friday morning in speaking of
the concert tour which she is to
make in company with three of her
pupils IN vocal music, and with
Mrs. Maude Germaine Sparks,
pianist, and Gale Brown, violinist.
"It will giie their friends and the
public in general an opportunity to
appreciate their talent and to the
girls themselves it should prove
pleasant and profitable trip in every
way"
The concerts are to be given at
various cities of the Santa Fe sys-
tenn between Chicago and San
Francisco as one number Of the en-
tertainment course which is pro-
vided by that railroad in connection
with the reading rooms which 1t
sustains for the benefit of its EN-
ployes. The engagement was made
with Mrs. Emers n by S. E. Busser
of Albuquerque, N. NJ, superinten'
dent OF the Santa Fe reading rooms,
when he was in Chanute Tuesday.
Mrs. Emerson's pupils who will be
associated with her in the quartet
singing are Misses Inez Miller,
Eileen Tracey and nellie Burnette.
Mrs. Sparks who will be the pianist
for the company is a graduate OF
the Winfield School of Music and
other famous teachers of America.
She was in charge Of a branch of
the Winfield Conservatory for
number of years and is a pianist OF
of much ability who never fails to
charm with her playing. Mis-.
Sparks is a sister of Mrs. ]. c. Lard
ner with whom she makes her home.
Gale. Brown is now doing post
graduate work at the Winfield COL
lege of Music and is very popular
with Professor Gordon of that
school as we'll as with the lovers
of the violin in Chanute. Mrs.
Emerson herself was a student OF
Barbareaux Parry Of Chicago and
besides being recognized In Chanute
as leading musician has had several
wears of distinct success on the con-
cert platform.
The trip as planned will begin
sometime after February IS and
continue for about forty days. 1t
will take the company not only over
q large part of this country but to
many points of scenic interest on
the Santa Fe system.

Denver, Colo, July 22.-One of
the funniest cases ever put up to
a court of law is on file here.
1t is that of Mr.. and Mrs.
Alonzo Thompson, Spiritualist,
and it is chuck full of spooks from
beginning to end.
A few days ago, Thompson,
who is a millionaire, filed suit to
disinherit his wife and her son,
an dto put his entire property in
trust for the advancement of
spiritualism.
In filing the suit, Thompson
explained that he had made his
fortune through following the ad-
vice of spooks, and that it was
only fair he should leave his
property to them.
When Mrs. Thompson heard
about this, she went right up in
the air, and said few harsh
things about her hubby's Spooks.
Mrs. Thompson is a spiritual
ist, too, you must remember. She
believes in spiritualism, but she
says that her husband has been
following the advice of a lot of
bad, wicked, naughty spooks.
Hubby came right back at her.
He said that he had followed the
advice of bad spook only once.
That, he said, was the time he
followed the advice of a spook he
was not we'll acquainted with, and
married Mrs. Thompson.
Mrs. Thompson had come
back on this, too. She said that
since her husband felt that way

canlier, and a lot of other spooks
of women, whom history has dub
bed as very wicked, indeed.
Hubby was not moved by this
at all, so Mrs. Thompson has de-
cided to file cross petition, and
prove, in a court of law, what
kind of spooks her aged-he is

been flirting around with in the

.LORIMER ARRIVES IN CHI.
William arrived in Chicago to-
day, and went at once to his sum-
mer home at McHenry, Ill.
He is going to work imme-
diately on a speech to be deliver
ed at Orchestra hall. In that
speech, he will explain to his
friends everything connected
with his going to the senate, and
his removal therefrom.
At Lorimer's own request,
there was no attempt at demon
stration when he arrived today.
Lorimer was hurt in an auto
mobile accident near Claysville,
Pa, yesterday. His automobile
frightened horse driven by VIM.
McCoombs, a farmer.
Lorimer ordered his chauffeur
to stop the car. The sudden put
ting on of the brakes caused the
automobile to swerve and crash
into a telegraph pole.
Lorimer himself was the first
on his feet, and the first at the
head of the now thoroughly
frightened horse. After calming
the horse, Lorime rcollapsed in a
swoon.

ism that you are sure TO receive.
Yes, know. Men erect standards
for preachers too, -snd then ha rshly
complain when they fail to reac h
them. But the Fatpers do not.
Truly He has erected a standard for
US in the life Of the Christ, and a very
high standard it is. Many Of US are
bruised reeds. We have the grip of
old habits still upon US. When we
would do good, evil is ever present
with us. We try, and fail. yes, again
and again. Men condemn us because
we have failed +; the Father only when
: we have not tried. Many Of us are
smoking wicks. There is much char
and smoke and disagreearble odor.
Our little lights sputter and flicker. A
feeble radiance penetrates the gloom
about US hardly at all. And men
complain because we do not shine as
the stars of the armament forever and
forever. But the Father, in the great
love Of his heart, understands. He
knows the ~longings that prompt the
little we do; and he knows how great
the cost Of the little services we rem
der. He will not break the bruised
reed. He will not ouenCh the smok-
ing flax. He gathers up the bruised
and broken reeds that have been
ruthlessly cast aside by a too exact
ing world and pours the cement of
love and grace into the cracks until
they shall be able again to sound forth
as sweet notes as ever before. The
little smoking wick he will trim, and
into the vessel he will pour a new
supply of oil until sometime you who
are now hesitating and refusing to
render even the little service you
might, shall become great lights set
for the lighting of them that sit in a
great darkness. And this is the mes
sage | bring you today"
