CHICAGO GLEE CLUB

The Chicago Glee Club as a male quartet re-
mains unsurpassed.
For fifteen consecutive seasons it has been con-
stantly before the public,
For thirteen consecutive seasons the Club has
retained the present personnel.
These years Of association and constant study
and work together coupled with signal individual abil-
ity, have produced a perfection Of ensemble truly re-
markable. The Club has filled over 5000 concert en-
in the United States and Canada The
repertoire Of the Chicago Clee Club is probably more

extensive and varied than that of any similar Organi-
cation.
The Trombone Quartet, first introduced to the Ly-
ceum BY the Chicago Glee Club and used only by them,
is one of the most artistic and pleasing novelties ever
presented. The trombone is the "king" of wind in
struments and the effect of the four, as played by
these artists, is a revelation Of sweet tonal quality
and organ-like volume. Such selections as the Pill

HON. SAM JORDON

Hon. Sam Jordan, Of Sedaia, Mo-, farm advisor
of Pettis County, will be one Of the most interesting
speakers at the chautauqua session, and will deliver a
message that will be instructive to everyone who
hears him as we'll as to the farmer friends in The COM
munity. The Paris Mercury sums up in the following
article the real worth Of the man as a missionary
among the farmers Of Missouri:
Jordan, the Corn Man-that is what they call
him, and the name is as distinctive and as indicative
as that of John the Baptist. In fact, Jordan is cast in
prophetic mould himself. He is the apostle Of dung

HON. BOURKE K

If the title "The Greatest Living American Ora
tor" r~ightfully can be given to anyone, it may be given
to w. Bourke Cochran of New York. Writers OF all
times have attempted to define great oratory, tut We
know it only as we find it concreted in men. Demos
themes, Cicero, Burke, Webster, LincOln-these men
define oratory, and these men possess in common the
same uncommon qualities. Bourke Cochran possesses
them. He has their holiness of thought, their original
ity of position, their towering distinction of personal
ity; he has their strength in debate, their fearlessness

HON N

Hon. Frederick Lands is from Indiana. That is
proof No. I of his fitness for the platform. For many
years he was noted as one of the most brilliant orators
of the republican party. He left that party to espouse
a new cause, in spite of the fact that every material
interest would lave kept him with his former afilia-
ton. His change cost him his seat in Congress, which
lie had won by one Of the most brilliant O%ratorical

in attack, their intellectual hu-
NOR, their sudden wit and scath-
ing sarcasm; he has their native
gift Of rhetoric, their instructive
knowledge of the force Of words,
their convincing development in
construction; he has their
speech music in delivery and
their whole creating conception
of the supreme art of human
speech.

been heard by the American
except in political and
judicial oratory, and by very few
Americans in that, has consent

an evangelism that is to redeem
the earth-also those who dig in
it, pillow in it, and those who live
by it. He is an epoch-maker, is
Jordan, and the herald of a new
era. He is a child Of the land,
and its majesty and its faith, its
goodness and its honor, are upon
him and through him. 1t has told
him secrets, and breathed into his
being the mystery of the Corn, on
which the Republic is built. No
part of the story has been with
held and he has been sent with
it as a message unto the people.

CAPS ORCHESTRA

Caps Orchestra is a new departure in musical
entertainment, and their playing has a snap and style
which is original and entirely different from the ordi-
nary musical attraction. There are no dull moments
during their progrsm-something different each num-
Der and no waits between numbers. Each of the
members of the organization plays more than one
instrument, and they change instruments during the

rendition of numbers, using the Instrumentation best
suited to the different movements Of the selection.
Every number is improved by some bright, new
idea, either in the manner of playing or in the COM
bination of instruments used. The audience is kept
in expectancy as to the nature of the next "stunt.
The quality Of the music is not sacrificed for these

to get rid Of them. AS far as possible
the canal commission is trying to get
work for them elsewhere by advertis-
ing, labor recruiting agents being in
vited to apply to the chief %quartermas-
ter at Culebra.
Most people do not realize that the
Panama canal, apart from the perform
ance Of its function as an interoceanic
highway, is destined to be a great and
highly profitable commercial enterprise.
For one thing. it will deal in coal. sell
ing, it is expected, at least 100000
tons yearly. 1t is reckoned that on an
average every ship passing through the
ditch will need 500 tons Of coal or an
equivalent in other fuel. There are no
coaling stations nearer than Newport
News, on the Atlantic side, OF San
Francisco, on the Pacific, and the price
Of fuel at South American ports is very
high. Accordingly preparations for
handling coal are now being made on
a large scale, and great tanks are be-
ing built to hold fuel oil for oil burn
ing vessels.
This, however, is only one feature Of
the contemplated business.
There is nothing in the way Of sup
plies that ships will not be able to OBJ
tain on their way through the canal.
n plant at Cristobal is not only Il
congeries of storehouses, but also an
immense food factory. Everything will
be controlled by the United States.
Associated with this commissary de
partment is q huge department store,
which keeps everything imaginable in
stock, from dry goods and notions to
boots and shoes and ready made cloth.
ing. furniture and household crockery.
hardware. tobacco and cigars, candy
and tooth powder.
One thing that people who travel
through the canal will want more than
almost anything else is clean linen. TO
supply this demand a laundry, by far
the largest and best equipped in the
world. will be in operation throughout
the year. 1t will wash and iron the
collars, shirts. shirt waists and petit
coats of all nations. All of its pro-
cesses will be performed by electricity,
even to the heating O. the fiatirons.
Slides Delay Opening.
But while all these plans are pro
crossing in anticipation Of the opening
there is II distressing feature which
has continually upset calculations-the
slides of Culebra cut.
Cucaracha. "a ~cockroach," center of
interest Of all Panama at present. Is

The Lesson Explained. Verses 1921.
"A great transition.
Jesus did not offer any definition of
the kingdom Of God. 1t was SO many
sided a conception that it could be un-
derStOod, no as 4 matter OF theory.
but as q reality in experience. What
is thus known in the present is, how
ever. only an earnest Of the yet larger
experiences during the unfolding of
the years. 1t is n testimony to the pro-
phetic power Of Jesus that he announc-
ed with such remarkable certainty the
ultimate triumph Of Gods sovereign
sway over all life. Thi, idea is brought
out in the parallels OF the mustard
seed and the leaven, the first of which
prOclaims the expansive power OF the
kingdom abroad and the second its
intensive influence from within. Il = "
Mustard seed" One Of the current
proverbs was 'small rs Il mustard
