easy money she was making, and told
them they were foolish to be working In
the bag mill at small wages when they
could be making lots OF money. The do
fence was general denial. Mr.. Berman

Iase week the court disposed OF its vol.
luminous criminal docket and what little
was left to do on the civil docket. There
were number Of trials, with varying re-
suits, and Q considerable number of sem
fences were imposed. Except In the
homicide cases no sentence was longer
than four months.
The fact that no Indictment was found

BUFFALO BILL'S' BODY
ON LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN

Denver, June 3.-Last tribute was
paid today by vast assemblage to the
memory of Colonel William F. Cody
buffalo Billy when the body of the
famous scout and plainsman was laid
to rest in vault blasted from the solid
rock on top of Lookout mountain
twenty miles from Denver. ...
More than 10000 people went from
Denver to Lookout mountain by auto
mobile and electric train. For four
hours before the cerf ho1y at the grave
there was a steady proc'<,on of auto
mobiles winding up IT,. mountainside
toward the summit far above the plat
eau on which Denver is situated. More
than 1000 persons, it was estimated,
who had gone by trolley to Golden at
the foot of the mountain, climbed steep
trails or trudged along the automobile
road to Wild Cat Point where the burial
was held. The ceremony at the grave
was not elaborate, only the Masonic
ritual being used, and was under the
direction of the Golden Masonic lodge

delivered over 1000 paid lectures and
special addresses In his home state.
What is the meaning Of such a record
Simply that the people like to hear
him and call for him again and again.
He has filled the largest number Of
return engagements in limited time
and territory Of any man who is now
or ever has been upon the platform.
80 far as we are able to learn.
We need not commend him. The
people have given their verdict. From
such a record there is no appeal.
His creed appears below:
First.-What 10 easily done will be
overdone.
second.-What Is hard to do will be
In demand.
Third.-What has been done can be
done again.
Fourth.-You are the ONE who can
do It.
Fifth.-1mpossible Is un.Amsrican.

HIS CHINESE WAS BAD

Charles B. Towns, the anti-drug

several years ago with Samuel Merwin,
the writer. In Hongkong shop win
dow they noticed some Chinese house
coats of particularly striking designs
and stepped in to purchase them.
Mr.. Towns asked Mr. Merwin to do
the bargaining.
"Wantum oatee,' said Mr.. Merwin
to the sleepy-eyed Oriental who shut
fled up with grunt. He placed sew
eral of the coats before them.
Chow muchee Mclean monee?" in
quired Mr.. Merwin.
"It would aid me in transacting this
sale,' said the Chinaman, f" if you
would confine your language to your
mother tongue. The coat is seven
dollars."
Mr. Merwin took it.

stringer, who will appear at the Chau-
tauqua, are given below:
Racine Wis., Daily Times:
One Of the strongest speeches ever
delivered at the local chautauqua
grounds was given last evening by
Hon. Lawrence B. Stringer Of Illinois.
He held the attention Of his auditors
for every second Of his discourse.
Bowling Green (O) Daily Sentinel:
Lawrence B. Stringer came to Bowl
ing Green with the reputation Of not
only being a national character In, the
political world, but as great orator.
He sustained that reputation. He Is
a word magician and a word painter.
He possesses both wit and imagina-
ton, which he wove into his lecture
with telling effect
Clinton In.) Daily Register:
Hon. Lawrence B. Str1nger lectured
at the Chautauqua today. It was the
ablest, the most instructive and the
most eloquent ever given at Weldon
Springs ChautauQua.
Canton Qll) Daily Register:
Judge Stringer's address at the Chau-
tauqua was an oratorical masterpiece,
replete with magnificent word pictures
and enliven&ng illustrations. 1t de-
lighted the audience beyond measure.
and the appreciation Of its hearers was
manifested by vigorous applause and

PEERLESS ONE IS FAILING

William Jennings Bryan, who lee
tured here at the Chatauqua Saturday
night is Chatauqua lecturer-and very
little more. His delivery is good. His
enunciation is clear His choice of
words is excellent. But the ideas he
advanced could have been advanced by
any other NAN who has been trained as
speaker. By almost any other man
and as we'll
Mr.. Bryan is growing old. By re-
straining ourselves we managed not to
write "stale.''
1t is long cry from "The Prince of
Peace and the "Cross of Gold' to
"The Fundamentals he spoke of Sat-
urday night.
The man was there. The words were
there. The marshalling of facts and
ideas, the personal magnetism of Bryan
were there. But the fire of youth and
enthusiasm of younger belief, the
heartfelt spirit Of "I know I am right
and you shall know it,' was missing.
Many were disillusioned Saturday
night. And, regardless of political
faith, it is safe to say the disillusion-
ment hurt.

death today to prove to the people of
Wisconsin that the men guarding
bridges have orders to shoot to kill if
their orders to halt are not obeyed.
King Henry, a merchant, was lifted
from an auto dead, and his three com
panions, guardsmen of the First Wis
consin Infantry, were found badly
wounded, as a result of their failure to
heed the orders of "halt,' given by
guardsmen on duty at the Wisconsin
river bridge, near here, early today. The
car was crossing into the forbidden ter
ritory and the guard called "halt. -
The car remained on the move and the
guards opened fire on the machine.
