CHAUTAuQUA
COMING H0ME.
Continued from page ID

Miller, the practical business man,
and Vincent Joined hands to work out
the Chautauqua plan, Miller really be-
ing the first one to suggest the assem-
bly, in the woods. Immediately Vim
cent saw that this was the solution of
the problem with which he had been
wrestling, and the first assembly was
held in the woods on the shore of Lake
Chautauqua, New York, in the fall of
1874. Many people who visited that
first Chautauqua went expecting to
find camp meeting. Just as many to-
day who have never attended a Chau-
tauqua go expecting to find a new
kind of camp meeting or else carni-
val in disguise. But they found some
thing entirely different They found
the first bud Of one of the greatest
movements for good the world has
ever known.
Growth of the Chautauqua.
Last summer there were approx
mately 300 Chautauquas held In diff
ferent parts of tie United States. This
summer there will be many more. And
the strange fact as mentioned at the
beginning of this article, Is that, al
though it was born on the shores of
Lake Chautauqua, New York, and Is
therefore an eastern institution, the
middle west has been quicker than the
east to recognize its worth. As re
suit the west is today "old Chautauqua
territory" while the east is just be-
ginning to receive it. OF course Chau-
tauquas have been held here and there
in the east for years. but the other sec
ton Of the country has been its strong
hold But now it is sweeping the east.
1t has spread throughout the world In
fact.
You may not be surprised to learn
that England has built up her national
home reading movement upon the
Chautauqua course, but 1t probably
will surprise you to learn that Austria
liza has followed the leadership of Eng
land in this matter And over In Rus
sia an article on Chautauqua published
In one of the Russian magazines
brought forth such q food of inquiries
that the editor found himself obliged
to publish list Of Russian books that
would be suitable for home reading.
Sweden sent an official representative
to Chautauqua to make an official
study of important social conditions.
and that representative went back to
Sweden with broader grasp of social
conditions than any other man in his
country. Japan has begun the publ
cation Of Chautauqua magazine. And
even from South Africa an inquirer
was sent to America to study Chautau-
qua.
And so the movement has spread I'M
til today America stands before man
kind not merely as land of inventive
genius and marvellous commercial
progress, but truly as land of IDEAL
lists, of men and women great In their
spiritual purpose and power, great to
turn ideals into action, men and wom-
en- aglow with the spirit of the TWEEN
tieth century, century and land
whose voice Is the Cbautauqua.

CHICAGO, April 9.-WilIiam Lortmer,
former United States senator. and
other officials of the defunct Lasalle
Street Trust and Savings Bank must
stand trial on state charges of con-
spirins to wreck the institution
This was the effect of decision IN

ton to auash the indictment was over

five counts in the document were sus-
tanned
AS soon as the decision was given.
C. B. Mun,lay, former senior vice presi-
dent of the bank, obtained leave 10
file an application for change OF
venue from Cook county. The petition,
which was supported by some l,ooe
affidayits, set forth the troubles or
William Lorimer for five years ba@h ana
cited speeches by Robert NJ: Sw.ltzer,
defeated for the mayoralty TUESDAY. IN
which he referred to William Hale
Thompson. mayor-elect. is the twin
brother of Mr.. Lorimer.
The petition recited that Mr.. SWEET
zer made these remarks to thousands
OF citizens" and that they rejected
upon Munday because of the iatter's
association with the former senator.
Today's action relates to charges dis
tfnct from those returned by federal
grand Jury and which had to do with
the La Sale Street National Bank,
which later was transformed into the
state institution which failed.

Peter Finds Old Mr.. Toad.
Let all the world with music ring
Beneath the magic touch of spring

! Beneath the magic touch of spring
1t isn't often that Peter Rabbit is
truly envious, but sometimes in the
jovousness of spring he is. He envles
the birds because they can pour out in
beautiful song the joy that is in them.
The only way he can express his feel
ings is by kicking his long heels, jump
ing about and such like foolish things
While that gives Peter a great deal of
satisfaction it doesn't add to the joy Of
other people rs do the songs of the
birds. and you know to give joy to
others is to add to your own joy. So
there are times when Peter wishes he
could sing.
He was wishing this very thing now
as he sat on the bank of the Smiling
Pool listening to the great spring
chorus.

Sang Redwing the Blackbrd from the
bulrushes.
From over in the Green Meadows rose
the clear lilt of Carol the Meadow
Lark, and among the alders. just where
the Laughing Brook ran into the Smil-
ing Pool, a flood of happiness was
pouring from the throat of Little
Friend the Song Sparrow. Winsome
BluebirdS sweet. almost plaintive
whistle seemed to fairly float in the air,
so that it was hard to say just where
it did come from, and in the top of the
big hickory tree Welcome Robin was
singing as if his very life depended on
telling the world how nearly bursting
with JOY his heart was. Even Sammy
Jay was adding beautiful bell-like
note instead of his usual harsh scream.
AS for the Smiling Pool it seemed as if
the very water itself sang, for a mighty
chorus of clear piping voices from un-
seen singers rose from all around the
Smiling Pool. Peter knew who those
singers were. although look as he
would he could see none of them. They
were hylas. the tiny cousins of Sticky
toes the Tree Toad.
Listening to all these joyous voices
Peter forgot for time what had
brought him to the Smiling Pool. But

didn't forget. They were still hunting

looking. In fact, 1t hadn't entered
their heads. That was in the Smiling

granted that Old Mr.. Toad was some
where on the bank. Presently Peter
came to a place where the bank was
very low and the water was shallow
for quite a little distance out in the
Smiling Pool. From out of that shall
low water came the piping voice of a

to see the tiny singer.
Suddenly he jumped right up In the
