Arrives by Automobile.
Mr.. Bryan spoke at Charles Town
Saturday afternoon, coming to Stras-
burg Junction by train and thence
to Woodstock by automobile, being
met at that place by the reception
committee, in automobiles which
were under the management of
Messrs. T. G. Locke and H. 0. Nico-
demus. Mr.. Bryan was the guest
of Hon. M. L. Walton for the night,
who entertained with him the re-
|ception committee and a few invited
guests. His appearance on the stage,
accompanied by local reception
committee, was the signal for a pro-
longed outburst of applause.
The Secretary's face was wreath
ed in the celebrated Bryan smile as
the crowd cheered him to the echo
and it was several minutes before
the platform superintendent, Prof. /.
A. Downey, could secure sufficient
silence to introduce the speaker.
Praises Chautauqua.
Prefacing his speech Mr.. Bryan
said:
Il am glad of this opportunity of
speaking to and under the auspices
of the Chautauqua. For eighteen
years I have been speaking from the
.Chautauqua platform-using this
means of reaching the people, in the
Western States. The Chautauqua is
part of the educational system and
is responsible for the growth of
many progressive ideas. l VALUE so
much this opportunity that I have
had no thought of permanently re-
linuuishing this means of communi-
cation with the mass of the people"
Catching the farmers and stock
men in the audience, Mr.. Bryan ex-
planned his pet theories for breed
ing stock on his Nebraska farm, say
ing that he found it the best policy
to carry only single breed of cattle,
the Jersey having been finally settled
upon by him after much experiment
ing. In raising hogs he found that
he preferred the Jersey Red, saying.
In fact. anything that comes
rom New Jersey looks good to me-"

again.

Of a Man" was an enlargement on
he lecture which he delivered for
several years, The Prince of Peace"

build on things for mans use and
for mans protection, but that suf-
:icient attention was not be ing paid
% the building of man himself.

creature. 1t is not hard for me to
believe in the Trinity for there is a
physical, a mental and a moral man,
III in one"
Celebrating on the physical, Mr..
Bryan pleaded for conservation of
ne youth of the land as a necej;.ry
equisite. He urged compulsory
