WISHES; FOR MY son.

(The following verses, by Thomas
who was executed May S,
appeared in May, 1913, in the literary
magazine of St. Enda's college, P.
Pearse's SCHOOL,
Now, my son, is life for you,
And 1 wish you joy to it
Joy of power in all you do,
Deeper passions, better wit
Than I had, who had enough;
Quicker life and length thereof,
More of every joy but love.
For 1 wish you more than
Ever knew of glorious deed,
Though no rapture passed me by
That an eager heart could heed,
Though, l followed heights and
sought
Things the sequel never brought.
Wild and perilous holy things,
Flaming with a martyrs blood
And the joy that laughs and sings
WuGIG d lOG w "ASAA NSNNN'
Joy of headlong, happy chance
Leading on the battle dance.
But found no enemy,
No man in the world of wrong
That Christ's words Of charity
Did not render clean and strong
Who was 1 to judge my kind,
Blindest groper of the blind?
But for you, so small and young,
Born on Saint Ceclia's day,
/ in more harmonious song
Now for nearer joys should pray
Simple joys: the natural growth
If your childhood and your youth,
Courage, innocence and truth.
These for you, so small and young,
In your hand and heart and tongue.

PERT PARAGRAPHS.

Sometimes a man does a sensible
thing by mistake.
Money helps the man who tries to
help himself.
Dark consequences sometimes re-
suit from light remarks.
Only a wide awake author should
write a treatise on insomnia.
A woman seldom talks to herself.
She just has to rest occasionally.
It's a short honeymoon that lasts
till the furniture is paid for.

BROOKS BAND THE BIG
CHAUTAUQUA FEATURE

Brooks Famous Band is one Of the
largest and most complete and best
known military bands in America.
Mr.. Brooks first came into prominence
in 1888, when III New York city he
organized the original Brooks Band.
Under his direction and management
the organization came into popular IA
vOr and made a phenomenal success,
being permanently engaged at leading
resorts of New York, Boston, Phila-
delphia, Atlantic City, Savannah, st.
Augustine, New Orleans and Calves
ton, and in the west, too, at the Pitts
burgh, Minneapolis, Sioux City, Kansas
City and other popular eXpositions, 1t
was popularity known.
During Mr.. Brooks visit to the
Worlds fair in 1893 he was induced
by prominent and leading citizens to
locate his band in Chicago, which he
did, and he at once became top liner
in the Windy City, controlling the best
engagements, giving every winter
series of popular concerts and making
tours of the entire country, taking part
in large musical festivals, when from
$50 to 300 pieces were engaged. Mr..
Brooks is a composer and arranger.
His works are favorably known to the
best musicians of the country.
Brooks Band is the big fourth day
attraction of the Chautauqua.

HOW CHAUTAUQUA CAN
GUARANTEE THE BEST

Four and Five Year Contracts Are
Made With Those Attractions Whose
Reputation Is Established.
The Chautauquas are developing
splendid lot of talent. The attractions
that we are to have on the program
here this season are all highly trained
I'm Chautauqua work. Many Of them
have been with the Lincoln System on
their several circuits a number of sea-
sons and know the peculiar demands
of the Chautauqua audience. The Lin
coin System operates four immense
circuits, each of them having wholly
separate and distinct programs. They
often make four and five years con-
tracts with these lecturers, entertain
ers and musicians and thus make sure
to have the best at all times. The
longtime contract folks must have es-
tablished their reputation absolutely.
1t Is a guarantee Of the very best.

The wonderful influence of the Amer
lean platform is well illustrated by
this statement, made by Mrs. Mamie
Curtis, a brilliant southern woman,
who appears on the Chautauqua here
this summer.
Mrs. Curtis says: 81 was school
teacher before became lecturer. In
the schoolroom 1 reached from fifty to
sixty children a year. On the lee
ture platform 1 reach from 10000 to
100000 men and women every year,
who represent five times that many
children"
Mrs Curtis was appointed by the
governor of her state as a member of
the southern sociological congress. She
