PAYNE, THE WORLD TRAVEL
ERS DURING CHAUTAUQUA

DR. Charles A. Payne, who comes
to our Chautauqua, was in Egypt once
during the month of Ramadon, when
all good Mohammedans' fast from
daylight in the moring until sunset.
The Arabs took him away down inside
and beneath the great pyramid of
Cheops and then climbed up inside,
to the Kings Chamber. But they re-
fused to climb to the very top of the
pyramid to see the sunset on the vast
desert of Sahara. They had no food
since daylight and were very hungry
and yet would not eat till Sunset.
After the sun go down we 60"
No, l want to see the Sunset from
the top, we go now-quick"
NO, too hungry"
Il buy you food and we take it to
the top and you eat up there"
Yes, yes, we go quick, you buy the
food so anxious We're they to get
free meal.
So while Mr.. Payne watched the sun
go down and set the whole vast des-
sert on fire, his Arab friends waited
till the last second and then devoured
the food on the pyramid top.
DR.. Charles A. Payne who comes
to chautauqua, has visited many of the
richest, widest, and most beautiful
parts of the world, and studied history
and human life among forty races
and nations. He goes alone, lives with
the natives seeks their best, makes
friends everywhere, and speaks from
this intimate knowledge and friend
ship.
In Turkey, his friends were the
Young Turks" in Palestine, Arabs,
Bedouin, the fisherman and peasants:
in Alaska, wild nature and gold seek
ers; in Hawaii, warm hearted natives
and tropical beauty; in Egypt and
Rome, he lived in the mighty ruins
until the Pharaohs annd Caesars
seemed alive and ruling the world
again

and inspiration and is illustrated
with the finest apparatus and hund-
red beautiful pictures.

LUKE McLUKE SAYS:

When father kicks about the din

table and says, "Well, you can take it
or leave it," she means that he can
go to Halifax for all she cares.
You never heard of man working
himself to death when he was working
for another man.
There are lots of ideal husbands and
ideal wives in the world. But they are
seldom married to each other.
When he is single he has every
drawer in the chiffonier packed with
his stuff and is crowded for room. But
after he gets married he is lucky if
his wife lets him have half drawer
to stow away what little he owns.
What has become of the old fash
ioned man who used to worry for fear
the bicycle would make US a round
shouldered race?
Tell a girl she looks cute and she
will want to kiss you. Tell man that
he looks cute and he will want to kill
you.
A man can be patient with any wom-
an but the one he is married to.
A single man has to have a con-
science to tell him when he has done
wrong.
But married man doesn't need a
conscience. He can rely on his wife
telling him all about it.
Before she gets him she always
wants to see the color of his eyes.
After she gets him all she thinks about
is the color of his coin.
When they are first married she
greets him with passionate showers of
kisses. But about ten years later she
greets him with passionate showers OF
plates and cups and saucers.

Appearing before an army tribunal

claimed exemption for a man twenty
eight years old because of indispen-
stability. The importers asserted their
business had been increased S20,000,,
900 by the war, partially thru the eff.
forts of the man for whom they
claimed exemption.
"How much do you pay this man p
asked the magistrate. "We pay hin
81 1,250 annually" answered member
of the firm.
"The salary hardly corresponds tc
the profits" grumbled the magistrate
"If we grant this man an exemption
and he asks for an increase of salary
will you give it to him."
81 really don't know" replied the
employer. 80,
"Well, suppose he should meet with
an accident, what would you dog
queried the magistrate.
"That would be only temporary"

THEN HE AWOKE

NOWHERE, U. S. A-Upon the ad-
vice of detectives the police yesterday
broke into the stockholders meeting
of the American Dividends company,
known as the Dividends trust, which
has a monopoly of many of the neces-
saries of life. 1t has been suspected
for some time that the stockholders
expected to strike for higher prices.
Anticipating this, squad of police
were secreted in an ante-room and,
when the meeting was at its height,
broke in, scattered the assembly and
confscated their records. Those who
resisted were clubbed, Mr.. Portly
Goldgrabber, president of the com
pany and well known philanthropist,
being placed under arrest
At the same hour the police in other
parts of the city were also busy. Some
of the capitalists, having received n
tip that trouble was coming, had ar
ranged to send their children abroad
on the Gigantic. These children were
seized and will be held as witnesses.
At 3 p. m. the chief of police issued
an order to the effect that all halls and
public streets should be closed to the
meetings of those who were trying to
increase dividends. All capitalists
found riding in the park or other pub
lie places will be looked upon as con-
spirators and summarily dealt with.
This gang must be broken up, the

police declare. Human life is not safe
so long as they are allowed TO run
at large and conspire behind closed
doors. We are interested in law and
order and the welfare of the people.
At $3.50 p. m. Chief of Detectives
Popully, who has worked up the case,
gave an interview TO the press. He
said: Il have gone into this case very
thoroly. That they are n very law
less crowd doesn't admit Of the slight
est doubt. They are n serious menace
to the public, for they will 20 to any
lengths to increase dividends. have
traced scores and scores of crimes and
outrages to their Vaccinations.
Among the most important of these,
| may mention mine explosions, ruil-
road wrecks, deaths from fire, owing
to insufficient safeguards, Wholesale
poisonings from adulterants, hundreds
Of deaths due to diseases caused by
overwork and undernourishmcnt. Ev-
cry one of these crimes is due to the
fact that these men consider dividends
more important than humanity"
When one of the lawyers for the
defense asked the chief of police IL he
wasn't exceeding his authority and vio-
lating constitutional rights, he admit
ted that he probably was. "But," he
explained, at has been the practice
for he police to invade constitutional
rights in dealing with the poor. Why
should we make an exception of the
rich 80 Ellis o. Jones.
