He comes to us the second day OF
our Chautauqua with two messages
which should be heard by every one
of our people. His lecture on Charles
Dickens, the Reformer, is one that
will touch bottom, for no other man
of his time did so much to raise the
level of the man at the foot as the
great writer and humorist, Charles
Dickens.
Mr.. Travers as a man is especially
favored with a pleasing personality.
and a self confdence which makes
him universally popular as a Chau-
tauoua lecturer. In his own line he
compares favorably with the silver
tongued Bryan, standing at the very
top in his particular work of popular
historical lectures.
You will never cease to regret
should YOU fail to hear him the sea
ond day of our Chautauqua.

It is said that nothing ever chap

everything is ordered and arranged.
However that may be, Frank c. Trav-

one hundred years after the birth of
the great war hero, Napoleon Bona

pounds the same as the mighty leader

your eyes, but before they fall your
mouth will lengthen, your whole face
widen, and you will be leaning back
to laugh. You can't help it. And
then, right before you on the stage,
you will hear a little girl of ten
years talking. And you will wonder
how anyone could handle child dialect
so perfectly. This matter of child
talk is Miss Kramer's greatest
achievement, but she will also make
you laugh with some charming
French Canadian dialect impersona-
tions, with which she never fails TO
delight her audience.
Miss Kramer is not advertised as a
"headliner," but we miss our solemn
guess if she fails to be one of the
most popular of those appearing on
our whole Chautauqua.
Remember, she comes with Mrs.
English, the sixth day.

They Play the Fake Game in the Same Old Way

r. HE old "pocketbook" trick is being
worked with considerable regular
ity in Washington. The police suspect
that a clever pair of negro men are
responsible for ruse which was
worked on Emma Davis negro wom-
an of 1922 Walter street southeast,
the other afternoon, and on another
negro woman a week before.
Emma reported to the police of the
first precinct that about $3.50 o'clock
in the afternoon two we'll dressed ne
gro men who were walking just in
front OF her, near the corner Of Tenth
street and Pennsylvania avenue north
west, suddenly stopped down and
picked up pocketbook from the side
walk.
Making sure that Emma was in
position where she could see what
was going on, they opened the find
and disclosed to Emma's wondering
gaze a quantity of bills of large de-
nominations. Then the men became
confidential Emma told the police,
and took her into their secret. They
had just found the pocketbook, they
told her, and it contained 500. Now,

entitled to third Of it, and they were
not going to cheat her out of her right

the most pompous individual on earth.
But he had a peculiar way of wheel
ing when talking or laughing and the
Indians had noticed this. 1t Is one OF
the Indian customs TO give persons
some name denoting their pecuiiari-
ties: what we would call In English
a nickname. And they bestowed on
the pompous individual one about as
long as your arm and as sonorous as
a preacher on a hot afternoon.
One day the pompous one was walk

overheard two Indians talking about
him. The pointed at him as he pass

he understood, they intended for mis-

vKY 1SHINGTON.-After having de-
Wv destroyed something like $780,
100000 in real money since May, 1912,
Miss Louise Lester Of the treasury de-
partment still likes her job, although
it is messy one, and hopes to keep
at 1t for some time to come.
Miss Lester is member of the com
mittee on the destruction of mutilated
money. Her fellow members on the
committee are Messrs. U. L. Adams,
chairman; J. N. Fite and William M.
Meredith.
Every day shortly after nine o'clock
in the morning a big automobile truck
backs up to the treasury and takes
aboard six or eight trunks. Every one
of the trunks contain half million or
more of dollars in neal money, the
bills being cut in halves.
Accompanying the truck is a car
riage from the bureau of engraving
and printing. Into this climb Mr.
Adams and Miss Lester. At least two
members of the committee must keep
the money in sight at all times.

One morning when Adams arrived
the boy nodded gravely at him and
said:
well, If there's anything you want
done l wish you'd femme have 1t in g.
hurry. l gotta go to de baseball game
today"
'Is that SOP" replied the agtounded
boss; don't you think that's rather
an abrupt way to put It, You ought
to be more respectful. Suppose YOU

me show you how l would ask"
So the boy sat down in the boss"
chair and Adams went into the hall.
Then he entered the Office, and said In
a polite voice:
Boss, l would like very much to
go to the ball game today. Would it
be asking too much If ] could get
off early?"
And then the boy spoke:
"Surest thing you know, kid. / like
you and hope you'll get along. Here'g

Then a difficulty arose, Emma said~
when the men found that they could.
not divide the money in three equal
parts without more money to put with
it.
When Emma was asked if she had
any money she trustingly gave the
men ST. she said. Even with this
amount it was impossible to split the
money correctly, the men told her.
and directed her to wait moment
while they went over to lunchroom
to get some more change.
Emma waited for about 20 minutes.
Then she stepped across the street to-
the station house and told the police
what had occurred. A lookout was
sent out for the men, whose descrip-
tons were given.

The present estimate of the aational live stock
industry shows that the country has about S0OO,-
head of cattle, 25000,000 sheep, and about 100000
hogs, the numbers of other animals being COM
paratively insignificant These figures bear a
numerical relation of about onefourth, in cattle
and sheep, to the figures of the Argentine Repub-
lie, where horse breeding is likewise conducted
very extensively. While Uruguay is not Sc
rous competitor of Argentina in supplying the
foreign meat markets, it is the largest producer
of beef extract and jerked beef, no less than
100000 head of cattle having been slaughtered
during the last year, largely for the supply OF
material to the Liebig and other factories of
similar kind operating in the republic. Sheep
raising is also an important factor in Uruguayan
production, and large portion OF its wool ex-
ports finds it's way into the Boston market.
Approaching the USuguayan coast by steamer,
a delightful impression is made upon the trav-
eer The splendid capital, Montevideo, ID built
in the form of amphitheater with handsome
modern edfces and gardens. The scene is con-
sderably heightened in effect when one enters
within the gates of the city itslf. There may be
broad avenues, wide squares and artistically
designed parks, fragrant with the perfume of the
flowers that belong to this rich land and hand
some monuments that give their note of art and
beautify the walks.
There, also, is the never-ending and triumphant
procession of Uruguay's lovely women, who pos
sess the distinguished qualities of their Spanish
ancestresses. One of the most striking charac-
teristics of the people of Montevdeo is their hos
pitable and sympathetic treatment of foreigners,
who, regardless of origin OK language made
to feel as much at home SIS though they were
in the land of their birth.
Montevideo is European In appearance. The
more important avenues, with their native fol-
iage, may be lik-ned in summer to the Bots de
Bogiogne at Paris and the Paseo del Prado at
Madrid In autumn and winter the Gale Carandi
becomes veritable exposition of female beauty.
Here it is where the better class women of
Montevideo whose beauty is world-famed pass
to and fro objects of admiration to the enthusiast
tic youth OF The city, who gather at the street
corners TO gaze on the enchanting procession
One of the sights of Menteyideo is the beauti-
full cemetery, where, apart from the elegance and
artistic character OF the monuments, one may
admire the pious ladies In mourning praying be-
fore their dead not at long intervals. but in many
cases almost daily. devoting the utmost care to
the preservation OF the tomhs. which are general
ly covered with beautiful flowers This is almost
a religion with the better class of Uruguavans
who thus demonstrate the sincerity with which
their hearts hold their affections.

so many letters from persons who

it is inconceivable that they do not

T has been said by a famous writer
that the blood that has been shed In
Latin.American revolutions would
form but small rivulet in comparl-
son with the oceans of blood that
have been shed in Europe to indulge
the ambitions of despots, or to salts
fly the righteous claims of freedom.
That truthful observation may be
applied with peculiar force to the
republic of Uruguay, which, during
it's brief existence as an indepen-
dent state, has passed through many
periods of stress and storm; but 1t
