ChAUTAUQUA TALENT

Sidney Landon has the reputation Of
being unexcelled as delineator of
characters. Wherever he has been
he has delighted his audiences. His
versatility and talent can best be ap-
preciated when it is known that he
gives artistic character sketches Of
such entirely different men as Mark
Twain, Edgar Allen Poe, Longfellow,
Kipling, Bill Nye, Tennyson and many
others.
When man Of wide reputation and
marked ability of Rev. Frank w.
Gunsaulus, of Chicago, ILL.,, will give
the following endorsement of speak
er, he must be we'll worth hearing:
II have just engaged George Stuart
for the fifteen hundred young men at

them. l heard him three times and 1

remark worthy of philosopher. l

services of The First Presbyterian
Church of Cleveland (known as the
"Old Stone ChurchD, where he at
tended worship on his last Sabbath
day on earth.
Howard was manly fellow, in ap-
pearance and demeanor beyond one OF
his years. Nature had kindly endowed
him with physical strength and comely
appearance; with mental makeup
that was pleasing and entertaining ;
and above ALL had graciously blessed
him with a beautiful soul that made
him liked by old and young, soul that
made him, when away among strang-
ers, in strange place, and In a large
city, to spend a portion of the Sabbath
day in Gods house, in that historic
"Old Stone Church" And it was this
same God given spirit that led him to
attempt to do an act OF kindness, and
lend helping hand to fellow man,
yes to stranger, that cost him his
life. 1t was this spirit of unseltishness
of which it was said
Fading away like the stars of the morning,
Losing their light in the glorious sun
Thus would we pass from the earth and its
toiling,
Only remembered by what we have done
"Oh, when the Savior shall make up His
jewels,
When the bright crowns of rejoicing are
won.
Then shall His weary and faithful disciples,
All be remembered by what they have
done"
When we look upon the incident of
this occasion, and when we realize the
suddenness with which this young life
has been cut off without even chance
to say good by, we can but bow in
grief, and drop tear on the Divine
promise which says
"And God shall wipe awaysall tears
from their eyes and there shall be no
more death, neither sorrow, nor cry
ing, neither shall there be any more
pain for the former things are passed
away"

In MemOriam.

Howard Rogers, son and only child
of Mr.. and Mrs. Wallace B. Rogers, OF
Hillsboro, Ohio, departed this life on
Wednesday, July %, 1913, at the age
of Is years.
He was an alumnus of the Hillsboro
High School, being graduate OF the
class of 1913 in which he was justly
popular. He was member OF the
First Presbyterian Church of this
place, and was religiously interested In
the church life and in the Sabbath
School, and was held in high esteem
by his pastor and it's members.
Four weeks ago yesterday, in com
pany with Willard Wilson, these two
young men desiring to spend portion
of their summers vacation at work on
a steam boat, and thus in a way, get
some of such experiences as the lakes
afford, and at the same time working
their way, started for Cleveland and
there secured employment on line OF
lake steamers traversing the Northern
lakes since which time and until the
death OF Howard, they were thus still
employed They made one round trip
to Chicago and Escanaba, and returned
back to Buffalo and Cleveland, and had
started on a second trip, by different
steamer, when on Wednesday morning
at Ashtabula Harbor on the Steamer
J.C. Wallace, Howard met his un-
timely fate.
Up until this tragic and deplorable
accident, the two boys, who had always
been friends but had thus become more
closely attached by reason of their new
environment, were enjoying the lakes
and their new life to the fullest ex-
tent, as their frequent letters to their
parents and friends clearly express.
Until this time, their experience bade
fair to become one of the most pleasant
of lifetime, for young men who are
not afraid Of work, and who have a
desire to see life as 1T really is on our
great northern lakes.
In the sudden and tragic departure
of this young life, it may be we'll said,
that again, death chose a shining
mark" and that the human mind
with its frailties, is once more unable
to understand the workings Of the
Divine hand which called him from
earth while he was yet developing
into young and vigorous manhood.
In young active physical manhood,
in mental attainments and aspirations,
In moral and religious character, How
ard was one of Hillsboro's choicest
young men. During his High School
career he was fond of, and excelled In
the athletic sports which appeal to
the young and active.
In his classes and as a graduate, he
stood favorably and we'll. He had the
ambition to procure higher education
and to this end had planned and ex'
pected to enter college the coming fall
His moral and christian character car
best be told by reference to his clear
habits, and to his pure and upright life
which was an open book to be read by
all who knew him, and which was in
delibly written In his cheerful ard opeI
countenance. His christian characte

of the more serious things In life, wa

MUSEUM NOTES
A Close Study of Plant Lice Furnish
ed by a Pansy Blossom

One day last week there was
brought to the Museum a beautiful
pansy blossom having on it a group
of tiny plant lice. On examining
with a small hand magnifier, it was
found that one individual, larger
than the others, was depositing, not
eggs, but living, baby lice. The plant
lice, or Aphididae, are one of the
most curious families of the insect
world. They are found on almost
every kind of plant, and in every
part of the country. There are
many varieties of aphids, almost
every kind of plant having its own
form of the pest. The commonest kinds
seen here are the little red lice, so
often found on the stems of golden
glow, the blue and white, downy,
winged insects, flying about in such
numbers during warm days of late
fall, and the green lice infesting SO
many house or field plants.
A large number of aphids are
wingless insects that spend their
whole life upon the plant where they
are developed. They live by absorb
ing the plant juices. From a pair of
tiny tubes at the posterior end of
their bodies, sweet, transparent
fluid is excreted. This is known as
e'honey-dew," and is the sticky coat
ing often found on leaves or even
chairs and benches placed under
shade trees This honey-dew forms
food for other insects, such as bees,
wasps and ants. The wise little ants
arc known to herd these groups of
anhids on small plants near their
hills, as we domesticate COWS, so that
they may more easily collect the
honey-dew Beside protecting the
the ants help to care for them in
the winter state
Some may have noticed on their
own plants colonies of these aphids
composed of very many, tiny, wing
two larger individuals. These little
creatures have not Matched from
eggs like other insects. The 1arg-
er individuals of the colony, instead
of laying eggs, give birth to living
young by a process of reproduction,
termed budding" From time to
time large females develop with
wings, so that new colonies are
formed wherever these creatures
alight AS colder weather begins, or
food supplies fail, a generation of
sexual forms is produced. The males
are either winged or wingless, but
the females are always wing1ess.
These females lay one or two true
eggs which usually survive the win
ter. From these winter eggs are
Matched the large sexless forms,
which produce. IN turn, the genera
lions of countless aphids.

Mr.. William Lawrence as Squire Bartlett
in "WAY DOWN EAST,'' Colonial
Saturday, Matinee and Night.

Lottie Blair Parker's 'Way Down
East" without DOUBT best of rural
dramas, and the most universally
popular of pastoral plays comes to
The Colonial Theatre Saturday, Oct.
81. The degree of patronage and
enthusiasm which the celebrated
play is receiving this season, demon
strates anew the wonderful hold this
simple, natural, homely drama has
upon the public. 1t is no wonder it
retains the delightfulness and popu-
larity it has known no lack of for so
many years.
Never in it's long and prosperous
career has it received more careful
presentation. William Lawrence,
late star for ten years with 1.-THE
Old Homestead" enacts the role of
Squire Bartlett, and Eileen O'Malley
will be seen in the role OF Anna
Moore, the part made famous by the
late Phoebe Davis. The balance of
the cast is excellent in every respect
and the musical features of the same
high order as in former years. The
special new production is all that
could be desired.
Night prices % cents to $1.00.
