What about our Lyceum Course? Are
you interested? To what extent are
you interested? The committee has al
ready had signed one hundred tickets
at 81. so for the entire course. But it
will require another hundred tickets to
guarantee. Will you not take two or
more? 1t is a rare opportunity we
have of securing five high class, literary
and cultural entertainments at the rate
of 30c per night by engaging a season
ticket for S1.50. Will you not make it
point to see one of the committee at
once. We have until Juls LIST to secure
the number snd enable US to put in the
Course. The committee consists of
Miss Pearl Hindman, Jno w. Flowers,
J. o. Russell, L. o. Taylor and D. H.
Howerton. We expect no personal
profit from the Course except the
pleasure of paying for our tickets. as
all others will have to 90, and then the
delight of hearing these high class at
fractions. Will you therefore help the
committee to secure the other hundred
tickets by talking the matter up at
once. and then see Miss Pearl Hindman
who has the subscription list and sign
up for two or more tickets. Remem-
Der the Course as planned for is two
high class concerts, two lectures and
one impersonator.

out: Tell him to take any number be-
tween one and nine, add one, multiply
by nine, cross out the left hand figure,
add fourteen. add the number you first
took. and look out for results. This
ought to work, and if he does not grasp
the result he is too stupid to call again.

MAY EXTEND TRADING HOURS.
Chicago Board to Discuss Proposal
at Meeting Tonight.

CHICAGO, March 21.-Members of the
board of trade will discuss a proposal for
the extension of trading hours at a
meeting tonight The present trading
hours are from $3.50 am. to I:15 pm
Many members hold that the hours do
not enable traders to recompense them
selves for loss of business hours by holt
days or to compete with the Liverpool
board and New York Stock and Cottaon
exchanges. each of which have five trad
ing hours. 1t Is argued by those favoring
the extension that much of the present
dullness in trade would be eliminated by
the plan.
