room in connection with his bakery,

the repast to make a few remarks,
when Mrs. Jacobsen entered upon the
scene and demanded an explanation.
Mr. Jacobsen very graciously admit
ted the joke to be upon him. The sur
prise over, all wished Mr.. and Mrs.
Jacobsen success in their new under
taking and departed with the best of
feelings.

CHAUTAUQUA IN MAGAZINES.

The Redpath- Vawter system of
Chautauquas has been in operation
only FIVE years. but it has made an i'm
preston that is at least nation wide.
One of the best evidences of this fact
is seen in the interest being taken by
the editors Of current magazines in
the work that is being done.
Last season Joe Mitchell Chapple.

three days with Mr. Vawter and visit

CHAuTAUQUA MUSIC TO
BE THE BEST YET

Music has always been very promi-
nent feature of the Redpath-Vawter
Chautauqua programs. From the very
beginning 1t has been the policy to Sc
cure the best available musical talent
and begin every program with con-
cert. For the sake Of variety a differ
ent company has always been provided
for each day.
This season all previous records are
TO be broken. Great as have been past
offerings. this years music will sur
pass all past efforts in this line and
eclinse anything ever attempted on
ChautauQua programs. The musical
lineup for the seven days is to be as
follows: Thaviu's lntern"'i"Nal band.
the RaIalaika orchestra. and Maurer
Sisters. the Music Makers. The Kick
bush Company. the Boston Lyric Trio
and the College Singing Girls
Thaviu's international h"Td is re-
peated this year by universal request.
Never did a great band prov" so popu-
lar as did Thnviu's with C''utauQua
patrons last season. The @re:, band Is
strengthened even over last 'ear and
carries six grand opera stars instead OF
four. as formerly Their programs are
rouSing musical festivals ard create
wonderful enthusiasm.
The Russian ROYAL PA''!:'Ia orches-
fra. nar.el for the h.'''"'''' the Rus
sian national musical instrument. Is
musical novelty company Of ten Rus
slams. not one of whom is able to speak
word of English. This is their first
American tour. and the Vawter Chau-
tauquas get first use of them. They ap-
near in Russian peasant costume and
present striking appearance and rem
der programs of great sweetness.
The Maurer Sisters and the Music
Makers each supply day Of prelude
programs that will he full of vim and
action, and the Artists Company and
the Boston Lyric Trio afford the more
classical programs FOR the critical and
unsteady educated tastes.
The College Singing Girls take the
place filled by the Riner Sisters OF last
season and put on program OF such
musical entertainment features that
they will be remembered with pleasure
long after they are gone. This COM
pany is without an equal In versatile
and catchy entertainment ability and
will close the ChautauQuas In royal
sood humor.

A WOMAN ORATOR
Mrs. A. G. zehner to Address
the Chautauqua
REFoRMER AND PEACEMAKER

Famous Lecturer and Platform Speak,
or Coming With Delightful Mess
age For Both Women and Men-ons
Of the Strongest Features.
As special recognition of the inter.
est and booster spirit Of the ladies an
other great woman orator is to appear
at Chautauqua this season. This wo-
man is Mrs. A. C. Zehner. student of
modern times and reform orator of
eloquence and power.
Mrs. Zehner was born and brought
up in an aristocratic southern home.
AS little child she was cared for by
an old colored NANNY" And Mrs.
Zehner as a little girl was taught by
this nanny" to look upon all Yam
KEGS as hobgoblins. She says she had
many a cry when child when told
that the Yankees would some day get
her.
But. strange to say. she married
Yankee and has never regretted 1t.
She has grown to be a great exponent
of the one country idea. a cementing
of national interests. Her contribu-
ton to this idea and her reform work
have given her high place among
great platform orators.
Mrs Zehner is an authority on civic.
state and national affairs. especially as
they pertain to the interests Of women.

MRS. A. C. ZEHNER.

She is not an extremist, but believes
the men to be essential for leadership
in political affairs.
She is member Of the National Suf-
fragette league and is prominent as
temperance lecturer. She has beau
tiful voice and speaks with delibera-
ton and great earnestness. Her ad-
dress will be one Of the very strong
features of the Chautauqua program.
