"The best Chautauqua program
ws have ever had |" ''Not single
inferior number in it" Such re-
marks seem to be the general con.
census of opinion of all who at
tended the Redpath. .Vawter Chau-
tauqua programs the past week.
It has been treat Indeed, and the
last program was listened to with
regret that il was the last of very
enjoyable series..
The lecturers, of which we had
five, were, with one exception, of
the popular" order. This one
was given Sunday afternoon by ex-
Gov. George 81. Hodges of Kansas,
a democrat under whom his state
made great strides forward. His
topic, 'How Prohibition Killed
Kansas. was one in which he was
vitality interested, and he proceed
ed to prove that Kansas has in
every way prospered under prohi-
bition. Mr.. Hodges is also a strong
equal suffragist.
The opening lecture on Thursday
evening was given by Morton II.
Pemberton, of Missouri, on "Reu-
ben in Rome" MIR. Pemberton is
a humorist in manner, appearance
and speech. He sees the funny
side in adversities, and the serious
side in many humorous situations,
and so he can make his audience
see that in looking for the silver
lining one must not lose sight of
the darker or solid side of the
cloud. He took the part of Reu-
ben and told his experiences as q
boy, as q college boy-especlally as
green freshman, j and then later
az q traveller ending with a short
sketch of his Impressions in Rome.

of q large church in Battle Greek,
Michigan. His subject was ''For-
tunes and Fiddles," J" taking as bis
lead the life of Stradivarius, the
man who worked hard and with
little remuneration in making vio.
Inns many years ago in Italy. He
attained perfection in making vio-
Inns but about ali he got out of it
was the Joy of success and love of
the work. Mr.. Mills theme was
that it is small and of little credit
to a man to work because he has
to or to get what be can out OF II
materially, but the ideal aim of the
worker should be to give what help
he can to his fellow men. He
quoted aptly eff you can't feel like
you ought to act, then act like you
ought to feel and then you'll feel
like you ought to act" DR.. Mills

his addresses by sudden flashes of

unexpected.
On Saturday afternoon Dr. Mat

of things to think about. He said
in essence that We must train our
selves to appreciate the good

The fifth lecture was given on
