Seven Day Program.

The Chautauqua program of this cir
cult for 1915 is to reach the highest
point, we think, in popular approval of
any other of our nine years experience.
Looking back over the years it is not
too much to say that some of the great
est lecturers and entertainers of Amer
lea have been offered on this circuit
Thousands of letters written and
statements made from fathers and
mothers and young people would indi-
cate that these programs have had a
tremendous influence in shaping the
lives of young folks and In enlarging
the vision of all people.
This is to be the big popular year.
make no apology in offering more enter
tainment, more fun, more that is light,
than in previous years. But the lee
lures and the solid material have, by
no means, been neglected. This is the
year when we want TO make people
forget their troubles by remembering
their blessings. The big European

agitation and has responded more gen
erously to reform movements In the
last decade than ever before perhaps IN
the history of civilization. The people
have shown a big heartedness anb good
citizenship, and their unselishness in
making an honest attempt to bring
about political and economic reform.
In my opinion too much violent agita-
ton should cease for the present Why
not give the people a chance TO enjoy
the blessings that they have earned?
We want to have the best time that we
have ever had, but the big key note of
the 1915 Chautauqua program is Pa
triotism. Not the Patriotism of War,
but the Patriotism OF Peace and Hap
pinesR
The next big thing that viii stand out
is Inspiration. That is why, for this
year, we viii dispense with technical
discussions, with political harangues.
Politics are tabooed. The intellectual
growth of the people Of the Middle
West has been marvellous, and they are
well prepared to receive the splendid
entertainment and musical offerings
that this program viii afford.

lvstericus Chimney Swift

Much has been learned about bird
migration but much yet remains to be
learned, and the following is one Of the
most curious and interesting of the un-
solved problems. The chimney-swift Is
one of the most abundant and best
known birds of eastern United States
With troops of fiedgGngs catching their
winged prey as they 60, and lodging by
night in tall chimneys, the foeks drift
slowly south joining with other bands,
until on the northern coast of the Gulf
Of Mexico they become an innumerable
host. Then they disappear. Did they
drop into the water or hibernate In the
mud, as was believed of old, their OBJ
liberation could not be more complete.
In the last week IN March joyful
twittering far overhead announces
their return to the Guif coast, but their
hiding place during the intervening five
months is still the swift's secret.

''The American Girls" Popular in the

''The American Girls" who appear

Young Gore Refuses the Asylum.

Shortly after master Gore had lost
his sight his father, for he was poor
and not unlike other farmers of that
community, wanted to send the boy to
the Asylum for the Blind.
Blind folks could never do anything
except make brooms or beg, at least
that's what his father and the neigh
bors thought then. But the Almshouse
had no charms for master Thomas. He
much preferred to remain at home and
do as other boys did, for he was only u
years old, and finally after much plead
ing and with the assistance of his
mother his father consented to let him
stay at home.
His mother spent much of her time
reading to her unfortunate son. One
of his favorite books was Biography
of American Statesmen. 1t was while
reading this book that he conceived the
idea that some day he, too, would be
come a Senator of the United States.
| Tt must have been his sincere devo-
ton TO this boyhood ambition that kept
him cheerful and made him all the
more persevering when others, seeing
him confronted by so many difficulties,
thought he must surely soon give up II
despair. This same determination and
devotion to principle viii be readily
noted IN his lecture here at Hays during
Chautauqua week.
