third year Kryl has appeared on the
chautauqua program here and each
successive time his program has been
liked better. The beautiful cornet solos
by Mr.. Krvl proved one Of the big hits
of the concert. ''The Charge Of the
Cavalry,'' was one of the best Of the
ensemble numbers and the closing Sc
lection HFantasia on National Airs, -
in which the nags Of the allied coun-
tries were displayed as the national
airs were prayed, made an excellent
impression. The last air played was
"The Star Spangled Banner,' which
the audience sang. It is understood
that this was Kryl's farewell tour
through this part of the country and
this will be regretted by those here
who had the opportunity to hear this
great band.
Wednesday afternoon Judge Ben
Lindsey Of the Denver juvenile court
gave a lecture on the bringing up OF
children in which he gave out some
very good advice. He said we should
have policemen who understand and
who have PEI .onaity, as it is disgrace
full to think that the community can
be bettered by violence. He remarked
that most policemen know no other
remedy than the club and chains, hand
cuffs and degradation which will not
make children good. He said that some
parents not only misunderstood, but
encourage lies Mothers often become
|xertinental and weak. mistaking it
for kindness, and fathers often mis-
take brutalit ty for frmness. Nothing
can be done by being brutal as this
oh
will deceive you every time they can.
The Judge described the horrors OF
the present war and of the millions of
children that are dead today on ac-
count of it. In connection with this
he mentioned Henry Ford's peace ex-
pedition of which he was member,
and described the horrors he had wit
messed Oh this trip. He said that with
all of this. when the war is over, we
will be glad to have it said that an
| American tried to bring the war to a
| speedy end.
Wednesday evening : Katherine
Ridgewav, known as the queen Of plat
form entertainers, furnished a most
pleasing program of readings and i'm
presentations. Miss Ridgewav is not
the kind of reader and impersonator
that usually appears on the vaudeville
stage but of the high class such as
can be brought to a city like Little
Falls only through an Institution like
the chautauqua.
The Junior chautauuua, held each
morning. was very we'll attended this
wear and thoroughly enjoyed by the
little folks. On Wednesday evening
the children participated in big pa
geant "a Rose Dream,'' which was
very pretty. There were about one
hundred and fifty children in the pa
[geant, all wearing appropriate cos
i tunes.
| Yesterday morning P. Vaughn. jour
nalist, traveller and university profess
! sor. gave lecture on matters Of vital
interest to this country at this time,

! In the afternoon Hervey MCGOWAN
lectured on his book 'Trail. of Boy.
Travels'' He emphasized the neces-
sitv for parents to take particular
pains with their boys when thew are
between the age of - and 90, the time
when they are uncertain and have no
anchor.
In the evening the Royal Hawaiians
gave a fine program Of songs and in
strumental music which proved very
fitting prelude for the lecture that fol-
lowed. Rambling Through Paradise
Hawaii.'' by Miss Mildred L. Clemens.
The Royal Hawaiians also gave con-
cert preceding the lecture by Mr.. Nc
| Cowan. The lecture by Miss Clemens
was very interesting. her stories being
illustrated with moving pictures. This
