A continuous gale of laughter. tears
and thrills played last night upon the
biggest audience that has greeted .
chautauqua lecturer this year. The
gale emanated from the Rev. George
r. Stuart, preacher. evangelist, humor.
ist, reformer and philarthropist Of
Tennessee.
During the intermission of the pre-.
ceding orchestra program Miss Large
gave a brief program of readings. She
made an especial success with Riley'G
That Old Sweetheart of Mine"
Good Only for Show.
In beginning his lecture on Dogs,
Rev. Stuart explained that he had
been struck by the fact that many
varieties of dogs very strikingly typify'
certain kinds of people and that he
would use dogs and dog stories az
illustrations OF the points he wanted
to make of trying to convince his
hearers that Everybody has the op-.
portunity at some time to become
great"
Some people are like a big st.
Bernard l saw the other day whick
was supposed to be worth a thousand
dollars. His owner told me that h0
was SO valuable because he alway1
won prizes at the bench show. H6
wasn't good for anything but show.
Some folks are like the poodle dog
They are our 'sa-sassity' people gco&
for nothing except to trot down the
street with ribbons around their neck
They never work. They just live OF
of what dad earned. |;
Then there is the huntin' dog. He
find something nobody else can find!
Some of the biggest things in the
world have been done by the people,
who have gone out huntin' for whaka
other people haven't been able to
scare up.
1.-The only dog that doesn't trail 10!
the greyhound. He goes after what
someone else scared up. Some of the:
richest men in this country are the
ones who have taken inventions froma
fellows that didn't know how to mar.
ket them and have made a 60 OF
them.
Do Work Well.
"People who don't succeed are all,
the time whining. You whine becausel
you hain't got any chance. I'll teltl
you how to succeed. Just fill the!
place you're in until it won't hold you'll
When you break the sides out, God,
will catch you and put you in a bigs|
ger place. Just keep on busting OUT
side-boards and you'll always bel
thrown into a bigger bin.
"One of the surest ways to succeed
is to hang on to a thing. Paderewsh
was one day playing over a selectionI
and missed a little trill. He Played
that piece over TAG times to be sure
he wouldn't miss it again.
Some folks whine because they are,
handicapped somehow. The thing for,
you to do is take hold of your handi.'
cap and make an opportunity of 1t.
Every man that has ever been any.
thing was poor to begin with. The
greatest opportunity a man ever had
was to be born the son of a Door
widow. Say. when you women give
uo the job of being a mother. you are
throwing overheard the biggest job in
the universe. When you quit that to
go into society, You may go faster but
you amt won nothing You simply
jumped from the hub to the rim. You
have gained in motion but you have
lost in power.
IF you find obstacles in the way,
make them stepping stones to success.
Young people. remember that the
world is always moving up and NOV
ing out and leaving vacant places.
Evary day a new place is opened up
for a worthy man. Never lose pa.
tience. Keep your eyes open and
stick to it."
