Clara Morris, generation or two
ago, the best-known and most-beloved
actress on the American stage, but
in the last few years known as a
woman of sorrow, because of her blind
ness and lack of funds, has at last
found rift in the clouds She is to
have an income from $4,000 for the
rest of her life. This was left to her
by S. w. Harriet, her late husbands
uncle. In her prime, Clara Morris was
considered the greatest emotional &C.
tress on the stage. Her Camille ia
remembered by the theatre goers of
thirty-flve years ago, as the greatest
success ever made by an American &C
tress. In 1909 her friends took meas
ures to help her in her declining days
by giving benefit performance at a
New York theatre. She herself ap-
peared in the sleep walking scene
from Macbeth, although she was sixty
years old.

TO DISCUSS BOOK
IN HIS SERMON
Rev. McAIfister Of Baptist Church
Expects to Consider Harold Bell
NWright's Late Novel.

Last Sunday evening after the serv-
ice. Rev. F. B. McAllister contracted
a severe sore throat which has kent
him from speaking all week. He ex.
poets, however, to be sufficiently re-
covered by Sunday to be in his pulpit.
At the Sunday evening service, Re7.
McAllister is going to speak on "The
Eyes Of the World" Perhaps the most
popular and best selling book of all
of Mr.. Harold Bell Wright's later
works has been THE Eyes of the
World" The book IS found in almost
every household, and nearly every one
has read it. No book has created
such wide spread comment. with a
possible exception of "The Inside OF
the Cup" that was published few
years ago, in the past decade, as this
book. Sunday evening Rev. Meal
lister, after telling what to read and
how to read. will give brief review
and criticism Of "The Eyes of the
World" drawing lessons and giving
extracts from the characters. Does
Mr.. Wright speak too plainly in his
book? Is his theme worthy one?
Or his characters over-drawn? Does
he resort to the characteristics Of the
cheap novel? These, and many othsr
questions Rev. McAllister states he
will discuss. This novel sermon
should be very interesting.

keokuk invited ~ Help Aero CLUB Of
America in Staging Competition
From July to Octo-
Der 12.
PRIZES FOR Av1AToRs
Suggestion is Turned over to Re-
taiIer's League Which Is Con.
sidering a Fall Cele-
brs:ion.

Keokuk has been invited to partici-
pate in national aeroplane competi-
ton which is being promoted by the
Aero club of America, for the purpose
or developing flyers for the army and
navy departments and to demonstrate
to the postoffice department, the eff
cheney in mail carrying The letter
suggesting that Keokuk might be in
on this competition was sent to the
Industrial association. It was turned
over to the Retailers league, which
is considering fall celebration.
The plan is to start a national com.
petition on July 4, and which will end
on Columbus day, October IL. The
principal event is the competition for
the greatest distance to be covered in
ten hours between July 4 and Octo-
| Der u. Any or all OF the aviators may
start from the Official aerodromes
each day, and must fly towards an
other aerodrome. The distances will
be measured, and the ones making the
best records will be given prizes,
which include 500 for the aviator
holding the best record at the close
of each days fight.
The chairman of the contest com.
! mittae has suggested something OF
this sort for Keokuk in place Of the
Fourth of July celebration. He has
also written the city. The plan which
would work out in this manner would
be that the aviators from Chicago
would fly over Keokuk, drop in here
at the hotel and register. make an
exhibition fight or several of them
and then continue Prizes Of course
would be expected from the city.
If keokuk takes this up, aviators
would be landing here many OF the
/ hundred days Of the contest, since one
of the prizes would be for the avia
tor making the greatest number OF
| landings at given place.
