A Good Lecture.

The writer had the pleasure of list
ening to the lecture recently given by
Peter Collins. but overlooked mention.
ing it in our last issue. In spite of the
rainy night, the opera house was COM
fortably filled by people of all denomi-
nations and they were rewarded by
hearing most instructive and inspir-
ing address in which harmony was
the keynote throughout-harmony in
the home, in the state, the nation and
the world. harmony between labor and
capital and harmony among those Of
different religious beliefs.
Mr.. Collins is primarily laboring
men-an electrician-bu has been
specially favored by nature with a
brilliant intellect and the arts of an
orator, but as laboring man hits at
socialism as an attack on the home and
religion. stating that It did not origi-
nate with the people but with aristo-
cratic philosophers. Should Mr.. Col
lins again visit Cresco, he will surely
meet with large audience for all were
with the ability, the fair
ness and the earnestness Of the man.

Irish Terrier Sounds Warning Horn in
Automobile.

Mr.. Fiske O'Hara, the popular actor.
singer and Irish star, who comes to
the Cresco, Saturday, Nov. II, in "His
Hearts Desire" is the proud posses-
sor of a little Irish TERROR answering
to the name of Con, which he received
from friend in Ireland, when he was
motoring through there four years ago.
Cons recommendation was, "He
will do anything except eat meat on
Friday" Con took to his new master
from the start and sat out his first
motor ride like q veteran, He very
shortly understood the language of
loot! Toot! and in Mr.. O'Hsra's new
racing car there is a special horn with
silk cord attached which Con pulls
with his teeth, to his great delight,
when an object appears in the way.
Con has lived up to the character given
him by his former master, by showing
wonderful intelligence, which at times
to say the least, is remarkable, espec-
tally in regard to the motor car. Con
walks around the car with an air of
authority before taking his seat. One
evening he let up terrible yelp and no
coaxing on on the part of Mr.. O'Hara
could persuade him to enter. Just then
an officer came along and drew the
actor.singer attention that the rear
light was out. Con loves children and
and is a daily visitor to q family living
near the actors home. The lady came
over one afternoon to Mr.. O'Hars in
great haste, "Poor Con is so sick, he
wouldn't eat morsel today and gave
him a little steak which l cooked es-
pecially." What! Con sick! he ate
the heartiest meal he ever did today" "
Mr.. O'Hara, adding, perhaps you are
not aware that Con keeps Fridays. It
is most remarkable thing that no
amount of persuasion can make Con eat
meat on Friday, and the lady proved it
to her own satisfaction the following
week; as she said herself. "Con just
sniffed, tur.led up his nose. and walked
