TO have developed upon w. J. Bryan
His speech at the banquet is being
awaited with esgerness by his friends
and with something akin to pronounced
nervousness by his political enemies.

to pick them up at once and guide the

IN MEMORIAM.

In loving memory Of Howard NJ. Lacey
who departed this life January 1, 1913. one
year ago:
often sit and think Of you,
When ] am all alone:
For memory IS the only thing
That grief can call its own.
Some may think we have forgotten you
And our wounded hearts are healed;
But they little know the sorrow
That's within our hearts concealed.
happy home we once enjoyed,
How sweet the memory still.
But death has left a vacant chair,
The world can never fill.
We do not know the pain he bore,
We did not see him die;
We only know he passed away
without bidding us goodbye.
Wife, Father, Mother, Brothers and Sisters.'

A Wide-Awake City

Wachingtonians- and this in
cludes Senators and congressman
and all government officials-are be-
ing much disturbed in their sleep
during recent weeks because of the
noise that is created by the repairs
being made on street railway tracks.
BEGINNING after midnight, when ira
f!c has subsidized, new tracks are be-
inc laid. The streets are illuminated
hy racks Of cleo .ric lights along the
tracks, with great reflectors behind
them to magnify their powers. Hun
dreds of laborers are employed, and
the noise and din of replacing old
rails with new, the incessant ham
mering and pounding that is neces'
sary creates a racket that makes
sleep impossible. The heat OF the
summer days and the sleeplesness OF
the nights is not to the liking OF the
nations lawmakers.

MORE THAN THE CITY OFFERS!

A glance at the complete program
of the Community Chautauqua causes
the reader to wonder at the array of
high class talent offered at so reason
able a price. In a large city a single
lecture by such men as HARDWOOD
Spicer, Montaville Flowers or Strick-
land Gillian cannot be heard at less
than the 50 Broadway scale of prices.
Yet these three great speakers and
host of other talented artists are ap-
pearing for five days at the price of
$2.75, and If one is fortunate enough
to secure one of the first five hundred
tickets, $500.
