Final Program Given

The final program of the Dermott Chautauqua was given on June goth. On account of the heat, the uncertain ty of the weather. and the revival, the attendance was small. but what the audience lacked in quantity It made up in enthusiasm, and each program has been an artistic success. Professor D. I. Henderson appeared on the first program, his subject being. The Man Without Hope His delivery was good, his argument convincing. and his theme one that offered much food for thought among those of hls hearers who are interested Tn the moral and mental elevation of the rising genera tion Miss Leona Rayburn and Miss l Winnie Bowden rendered several de lightful songs, and Miss Helen Blanks, pianist. and the Orpheum Trio fur nished the instrumental numbers.
 At the second program. the Dermott Orchestra with Mrs. Holmes at the piano, Dr Berendsohn. clarinet. Mir. W. Duerson. violin. Mir. C. Hemstet- ter. cornet. and Mir. C. Matthews. eel l To, rendered several overtures in vigor- ous and musicianly style, which rendi- tion was applauded by an appreclative audience. Miss Lillian Bonner. pianist, Miss II Blanks. soprano, ana Miss w. l Bowd contralto, also came. in for l their share of applause. as did Miss 1 Molie Dante and Mrs. Frank Etter in most artistic rendition of Brahms vocal duo The Gt psles. one Of the most difficult duos ever written. Among the hit. of the evening were the H. iustrated readings and the groups of Living Statuary posed by many of the prettiest girls in Dermott
 The third program was Tn two parts, Miss Moltie Dante beautiful soprano voice was never heard to better advan- tage than Tn these songs of Handel. Chaminade and Puccini. while Miss DeIle Holliman played several brilliant piano solos. A pocket edition of the Ladies Choral Society showed in their work that sometimes "the few are mightier than the many, rendering several choruses with verve and spirit. The latter part of the program was in the hands ot the Juvenile Dramatic Society. and the little artists GOV cred themselves with glory. Miss Helen Blanks was the power behind the throne at this performance of the Poor Little Rich Girls Dreat, and
 is deserving of much credit for the et
 ticlent assistance she rendered as gen eral stage manager Evelyn Newman had the title role, Martha Stinson was the Fairy Queen. besides which there were some twenty dolls the most tai ented dolls mortal has ever seen

BY NO MEANS BARREN WASTE
gen Has Been Found to Be
Rich In Minerals.

Spitzbergen, 400 miles northwest
Of North Cape in Norway, has been
looked upon for centuries as a great
ice-bound waste not worth the trouble
Of exploration. 1t was discovered In
1858 by Willoughby, British naviga-
tor, and nearly fifty years later was
visited by the Dutch explorer Barents.
1t had been known to the Russians and
to the old Norsemen years before but
they had taken no interest in the place.
It's shores have been visited during re-
cent centuries by the crews of whaling
ships, and Arctic explorers have used
it as a base Of operations.
It was not until Sir w. Martin Con-
way Of Great Britain made tour of
exploration In 1896 and 1897 that any
thing definite was known concerning
the interior of Spitzbergen. He made
a comparatively complete tour Of the
six islands constituting the group, but
seemed more interested in the glacial
of the country than in looking
for coal and iron, which are now known
to be there in vast quantities. But he

country to sovereignty, which seems to
be about to develop into very valu-

sEFJRE DAYS OF LINOTYPE
Oetroit's First Newspaper" Used
Town Crier to Make Public the
Events of the Day.

An item that appeared in this col.
umn recently to the effect that a GER
tain Swiss village still retained its
spoken newspaper" for the dissemina-
ton of news instead of the modern
method of the printed page, recalls to
mind the fact that Detroit once had
a spoken newspaper" too and that
here the spoken newspaper" prob
ably reached its highest development
in the United States.
The Rev. FIR. Gabriel Richard, a
priest of the Order Of the Sulpice
who came to Detroit as resident pas
tor Of the Roman Catholic church Of
Ste. Anne in 1889, was its conductor,
and 1t was the precursor of journal
ism In Michigan. To arouse the pub
lie and awaken an interest in the af-
fairs of the government, Father Rich
ard appointed town crier, who every
Sunday at the doors of his church, told
the public in general, and the congre-
cation in particular, all the news that
was fit to speak. In addition to this,
the public crier mentioned the auction
sales and related other advertising
announcements. Later, to supplement
the spoken newspaper" written edi-
ton was posted at convenient place
near the church. Father Richard was
assisted In his news enterprise by
Thopolis Meetz, the sacristan Of Ste.
Anne's church, but later printer and
ublisher.-Detroit News.

Songs That Awaken Memories.

Very many years ago a wise man.
called Fletcher Of Saltoun, said that
if he were permitted to write the
songs for people he would not care
who made their laws, and the senti-
ment has gone echoing along the cor
ridors Of time
But although we do not know the
names of our song writer's, says the
New York Herald, the songs them
selves make an impression on our
minds that remains long after they
have become trite and passed into
oblivion. There is not one of them,
however, that will not in later years
awaken memories long dormant.
Lyrics that catch the public fancy
usually voice some passing mood or
condition, but there Is one theme that
never passes-one that served singers
and poets before Cadmus invented let
tiers. There is never a season, from
mating spring to dreary winter, In
which the passion that rules mems
lives does not seek expression in some
new melody.

HERE'S DEFINITION OF "PEP"
Altogether It's Quality of Which lite

It's the thing which makes the lamb

Exploration of Nineveh.

The great rediscoverer Of Nineveh
was, Of course, Sir Henry Layard,
who, in the early forties Of last CEN
fury, having obtained the patronage
of Stratford Canning, British ambas-
sador at Constantinople, himself an
enthusiastic archeologist, journeyed to
Mosul and commenced work Of exca-
walton on the mounds of Nineveh in
real earnest. The story of the won
der series of discoveries which fol-
lowed has been told WILDLY in his
book, "Nineveh and It's Remains pub
lished in 1848 This work created a
great sensation, and the following year
Layard set out east once again, this
time as the agent of the British mu-
scum, with a grant Of $4,000 to carry
still further his great work at Mosul.
For more than a year his labOrs went
on steadily. The palaces of Seunach-
crib and Ashurbanipal at Kuynj'k
were partly uncovered, as well as
those Of Sennacherib and Esarhad1on
at Nebi-Yunus, and in 1858 Lagard
published an account Of his second
series of excavations in las book,

EXPENSE OF CONCRETE ROAD
Average Cost for Surface Only Esti.
mated at About $4,000 Per
MiIe-FiIIing Cracks.

(By A. w. DEAN, Chief Engineer Mass.
Highway Commission.)
The average cost Of concrete sur
face, Is feet wide, not including grad
ing, drainage, culvert work, etc., but
including the concrete surface only,
is about $4,000 per mile, according
to contract prices under which con-
crete roads have been constructed by
this commission. OF course, the cost
of grading, drainage, culverts, ETC.,
will vary greatly.
So far as the concrete surface be-
coming more or less cracked and full
of holes after three or four years is
concerned, I would state it is true
that it cracks to certain extent,
but if properly built, with expansion
joints, no holes will appear, and very
few cracks, and the cost Of filling the
cracks with bitumen is very slight.

All Kinds of Reasons Why the Newly
weds Should Give Some Con-
sideration to the Animal.

The cartOOniSt, with whom the New
lyweds are favorite if somewhat
hackneyed subject may sharpen a
fresh pencil; the day is coming, if not
already here, when the joys and sor-
rows Of young wedlock may be pic
tured from new angle. We are ia
miliar with the Newlyweds' bungalow,
with their baby, with their Tin Lizzie,
fruitful of mishaps; soon with these
stock possessions may be listed anoth-
er-to-wit, a goat.
One may keep a goat In the ordinary
city or suburban back yard, Eleanor
Anstruther writes in Sunset. No ex-
tensive pasturage is required as In
the case of the COW. If q vacant lot or
brushy hillside be available, a goat
Will thrive on what it can CLEAN there
though COW, horse, or even sheep
might starve. But our suburbanite
r-Wlyweds presumably must keep
rgs<eir goat within the confines of their
own back garden. Very well; every
one may still be happy, including the
goat. For the goat will contentedly
resolve into milk and mutton any kind
OF vegetable or green stuff that grows
In the garden. Weeds enchant her;
she will eagerly devour, and with great
profit to herself and owner, the results
of a strenuous mornings wedding on
the part OF Mr.. Newlywed. By-prod-
ucts Of the kitchen, such as the par
lngs OF fruit and vegetables, are well
come, though it must always be re
membered that contrary to general be-
lief the goat is clean feeder; the
garbage must go to the chickens, not
to the goat.
Briefly, single goat may almost be
kept on the waste from a garden, and
the feed of COW will maintain seven

Famous Old Town of Mosul.

The town of Mosul reached its
greatest prosperity toward the begin
ming Of the decline of the caliphate,
when it was for time an Independent
capital. In the eleventh century 1t be-
longed to the Seljuks and in the
twelfth, under the sway of the famous
Atabegs, particularly of Zenki, it had
short period of splendor. One of its
curious distinctions in history is the
fact that the governorship of the
town, as the pashalik, was long hered-
ftary in the originally Christian fam
lily Of Abd-al-jalil and 1t was only dur
ing the nineteenth century that the
porte succeeded, after long and &C.

centralized system Of government.

away the crows, because the crows
fear a trap where they see the white

their nest, destroy young birds and

pecan groves, and men are employed
on some of the big pecan plantations
to keep the crows away.

About "StyIe."

To comprehend the real ugliness Of
style" we have only to study out Of
date fashion plates. Women them
selves say "How could we have made
such guys Of ourselves?" The answer
is, it was "the style" and everybody
did 1t. One of human natures idiosyn-
crasies is sensitiveness. We may not
value the opinion Of the person who
smiles or sneers at our dress, may
know ourselves the superior in intel
lect, and position, but we resent or
feel hurt by the tacit criticism. Thus
we pay tribute to convention as estab-
Hshed by "style."
