The most American Thing in America,

Without question the greatest
innovation that has ever been Of
fered to the people of McCon-
nellsburg and of Fulton County
is the Lyceum Festival and Chau-
tauqua to be held in the Auditor
ium three days commencieg Sep
tember 22nd.
The best proof of its worth is
the current record of the Chau-
tauqua Association of Pennsylva-
MIA, now in its fourth year. This
excellent organization is serving
more than 250 towns in Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey, Delaware,
Maryland and each of the other
thirteen original states. One
third of these towns are in Penn
sylvania and the number would
be larger were there any way of
supplying the demand for this
great and helpful work.
To those who have for years
been mind starved and desirous
of something better than a gro
tesque performance of Unc e
Toms Cabin or a wandering dog
or pony show the entertainment
and lectures promised by the
Chautauqua will indeed be well
come and will be a great aid to
community betterment and pro-
gress.
Everywhere this occasion stirs
up thought as well as faculties
for enjoyment, it provides enter
tainment that instructs and up
lifts. No finer evidence of its
worth could be offered than the
words spoken by a real farmer
who one evening last August
stood up in the midst of more
than 1000 people in a big tent,
and said "of course there may
be some of you here in this town
who can get your fill of this kind
of thing in the city, and so don't
really care much whether we have
this again next year: but | just
want to say that | do care. Why
already it has given us more food
for thought than we have had
for twenty years before it came.

Do TrifleS Annoy?
the card !

What a blessed thing it is that
we can forgetl To-day's troubles
look large, but a week hence they
will be forgotten and buried out
of sight. Says one writer: IF
you would keep a book and daily
put down the things that worry
you, and see what becomes of
them, it would benefit you. You
allow a thing to annoy you, just
as you allow a fly to settle on
you and plague you; and you lose
your temper and you justify your
self by being thrown off your
balance by causes which you do
not trace out. But if you could
see what it was that threw you
off your balance before break
fast, and put it down in a little
book, and follow it up and follow
it out, and ascertain what be-
comes Of it, you would see what
a fool you were in the matter. "
The art of forgetting is a blessed
art, but the art of overlooking is
quite as important. And if we
should take time to write down
the origin, progress and outcome
of few of our troubles, it would
make us so ashamed Of the fuss
we make over them, that we
should be glad to drop such things
and bury them at once in eternal
forgetfulness. Life is too short
to be worn out in petty worries,
frettings, hatreds and vexations.
