MGR. SHAEFER HAS
TROUBLES GALORE
The Wind and the Weather Combine
to Make Life Anything But a
Round of Pleasure.

Local Manager Henry Shaefer had
many trials apd tribulatious last Satur-
day and Sunday, trying to combat the
elements that threatened destru ction to
the Chautauqua arrangements. During
the lecture of Saturday afternoon the
storm clouds gathered and before the
close they had deposited their surplus
water on the defenseess heads of the
audience. If any person there was
careless in regard to taking shower
bath before going to rhayer's grove he
was not the loser, for he received one
gratis, and 1t was straight from Heaven
and filtered at that.
The evening program was postponed
on account Of the unfavorable weather.
Sunday morning another fury 10 the
form of wind and rain, visited this
locality and among other spiteful per-
formauces laid part of the big Chau-
tauqua tent low Sunday evening found
big crowd assembled under the canvas
however, and no one would know by
appearances that anything but zephyrs
had passed that way.

COMPL PL|MENTS
FOR VARNEYS
Well Known Chautauqua
Workers Highly Praised
by the Press.

Speaking of Chautauqua, which seems
to be very near our hearts just nov, we
are reminded of our own people
who are awny engaged in a similar
work. Mr.. and Mrs. Charles h. VaIu4y
and son Charles are filing engagements
Of this sort during the present season.
Press notices Of the trio are very
gratifying to their numerous friends
here and we pride ourselves in being able
to honestly claim them AZ our very Own.
A Charles City, Iowa, paper says some
nice things regarding thar work and
speaks highly OF Mr. Varney as "a pl?t.
form manager, remarkiog that "he is al
ways ready with the right word at the
right time" which is characteristic of
the gentleman on the platform or in any
other place where be happens to be.
Mrs Varney is giving strong lecture
on the subject "rhe CITIZEN Mother
and according TO reports she is winning
many friends for woman suffrage. This
lecture is a popular one from the fact
that she speaks upon a popular subject
and one which the masses are endeavor.
ing to understand.
Mrs. Varney is an unusually brilliant
woman, her splendor radlates from with

the one great question Of the moral up
lift of womapkind. Being a mother. she
speaks from the mothers standpoint and
therefore reaches the hearts OF humani-
ty. She is assisted in this work by
Charles, who presents the Objectionable

by the suffragists.

upon mathematics for the proof of his
assertions. He spoke upon the future
greatness and possibilities of the won

placed upon this earth for the use of
men, and the duty of the brains of this
country is to utilize what we have at

Mr.. J Dale Stentz, as platform
manager has made a host of friends
during his short stay in Paw Paw. His
pleasing, affable manner, his courteous
ways and all have won him a place in
the hearts of the Paw Paw Chautauqua
patrons. He also during the first of the
week proved friend in need. When
the floods came and speakers failed to
arrive for the Sunday engagements it
was Steutz who with his "Stunts" and
song held the audiences and entertained
them to their satisfaction. He has a
fine, rich, melodious voice and his.admir-
able rendition of the many excellent
selections received the hearty applause
OF approval which they merited. Here's
hoping that Mr.. Stentz may again visit
Paw Paw and meet the Chautauqua
friends in the years to come.
