/ CHAUTAUQUA GROUNDS, HAM
TLTON, Aug. 13.-The largest crowd,
except the Sunday throng, attended
the chautauqua on Tuesday. The
days program was one of the best
thus far. Mr.. Lowery gave his talk
on Physical Education at ten o'clock
which was very well received. His
general theme was a sound mind In
a sound body, arguing that II man
is strong physically nothing is impos-
sible of accomplishment.
The English Opera Singers gave
the musical prelude to the afternoon
program. 1t was a sailor scene, in
Producing a number of songs Of the
sea among them the tuneful songs Of
Pinafore To the younger generation
the Pinafore songs were SO old thev
were new. To the older people they
were delightful because they brought
back the days of their youth.
Following the opera company Lulu
Tyler Gates read 1.-THE Fortune Hum
er." q play which was at It's heighth
of popularity a year with George
Barrymore in the star part The play
In itself is charming and as Lillian
! Bell says Pure as baking powder
rare thing in a modern play. Too
much cannot be said in praise o. Lulu
Tyler Gates. She has none of the
! affectation so common to readers,
| she tells the story SO simply and d.
rectly that you quite forget the WON
an who is telling 1t in your enjoyment
of the characters of The Fortune
Hunter" and thereby displays her art.
The evening program began with
the English Opera company present
| ing the Gypsfe scene from II Trovo
tore The dramatic presentation was
excellent and the stage setting more
than could have been expected on 4
pine board platform in tent in a
4 grove. The members of the company.
have beautiful voices and great inter
pretative genius. Should the Hamil-
ton chautauqua association engage the
company for next season, no one in
i Keokuk ought to miss the opportun-
ity to hear them.
Evening Lecture.

DR.. H. v. Adams of Des Moines on

of the little Japanese boy of humble
birth who was given grapes of god

him and to seek always to create hap
piness in others. The general theme
was upon the power of the individual
I to choose his own thought and the
/ influence of thought upon ones physi-
cal and moral being At the opening
'of his lecture he asked the indulgence
of the audience while he tried by
/ simple experiment to test the air cur
rents in the tent. He took from his
1 pocket small bottle saying 1t con-
tanned peppermint and asked the
audience as soon az they detected the
\ odor to indicate by raising the hand.
Perhaps twenty-five people here and
there in the audience smelled the pep.
I permint Later in his lecture after he
had developed the idea that our ills
or well being, our acts and our lives
are the result of what we think, he
confessed to the audience that the
bottle had contained only water and
