was a great entertainment and was
enjoyed by both young and old.
THURSDAYS PROGRAM.
The big musical event OF the chau-
tauqua was saved for the closing day
and as it had been a week OF good
things and regular chautauqua goers
were somewhat fatigued, nevertheless
they turned out in large numbers 10
hear Quintano and his band. A good
band has always proved big attrac-
ton in Denison and surely the manage
men were not disappointed with the
large crowd that turned out Thursday
afternoon to hear this excellent band
organization. The band made up of
thirty-twO pieces, was the best ever
heard in Denison and even surpassed
the famous Thaviu band which proved
to be such a drawing card last year.
Following the band concert Father
Austin Flemming, of Washington, u.
C.. gave his lecture, "Oil for Lilies;
Machinery" Father Flemmings lee
ture was different from anything on
the course and was sentimental or
human interest lecture, designed to
promote the brotherhood of man. The
sentiments expressed by this learned
B.. man were lofty and We're expressed
in such way one couldn't doubt his
sincerity Father Flemming did not
speak of linseed and kindred oils nor
of the modern machinery and its need
of fabrication. He spoke of more deli

becomes rough and grinding without
1.-THE proper lubricant. He spoke of hui
man souls, human hearts, human af-
fections, affections that might be turn
ed into passions and destroyed, and he
prescribed as the oil of gladness, the
greatest thing in the world, love.
LOVE-that which has been central
in all the worlds history. When our
first parents left the paradise, they
went out together, drawn to each
other by love. Christ went to the
cross for love, and His sainted mother
and the other women were drawn to-
ward the cross by emotions of love
and affection. IF we all loved one
another this earth would again be-
come the garden of Paradise" said
came to preach the chauatuQua Cos
pei and the chautauqua gospel was,
"Have We love for one another, follow
the golden rule, all things whatsoever
We would that men should do to you,
do We even SO to them, for this is the
law of the prophets" Father Elem
ming's chautauqua philosophy was
this. Here we are, hundred mil
lion of us, in this great big wonderful
country. Some Catholic, some Protes-
tants, rich and poor can get along in
peace if they practice the golden rule.
Let us all practice it, People who do
not get along together, do not get
along. If the merchants in our small
. towns criticize each other and their
goods, it will not be long before the
people will loose faith in the mer-
chants on both sides of the street and
buy their goods of the great mail ord
er houses; and the small towns will be
wiped out. Some people notwith-
standing their differences in creed and
politics and social rank, can get along
. together and most all could if they
tried. His speech was a strong plea
for the elimination of hate from the
world and the cultivation OF love, un-
til love should be supreme.
The closing entertainment of the
chautauqua Thursday evening was de-
voted to the great feast of band music
by Quintano and his magnificent band
and the large tent was filled to over
flowing and every available chair was
occupied. The entertainment was en-
joyed by everyone and it was the uni
versal opinion that the band was the
finest that had ever visited DenisCn.
CHAUTAUQUA NOTES.
1t was a great chautauqua.
The big tent was being lowered
Thursday evening before tn crowd dis
persed from the grounds. The heavy
canvass was packed in trunks and
: left on the ten o'clock train for Mis-
(. souri,. BY seven o'clock Friday
morning the grounds were cleared and
one could not have told that seven
days chautauqua had been held in
Washington park.
!. With eleven hundred season tickets
. pledged for the 1915 chautauqua, 1t
goes to show that people in this vi
entity are more than pleased with
chautauqua as summer entertain
mept.
Those college fellows were the most
gentlemanly fellows we have ever
seen with a chautauqua.
Hon. James f.. Watson, OF Indiana,
who spoke Monday afternoon of last
week, said that the middle west has
(. no idea of the dull times which pre-
vail in the east. The dullness is most
severe in New England, New York
and Pennsylvania but it is quite APP
parent wherever the industries are OF
manufacturing nature. There are
4 10000 unemployed men in the city OF
= indianapolis and other thousands
throughout the state, wherever there
are factories to be closed or slowed
down. He stated that there would be
large increase in the vote of the
republican party in all these sections.
Mr.. Watson has served his district in
congress many years, and was candi-
date for governor in 1908.
