COT SMALL FEES
Noted Lecturers Certainly Not
OVerpaid for Services.
John B. Cough, for instance. Is said to
Have Received the Huge Sum
of 81 for One Evening.

Il wonder what Charlie Chaplin or
some other famous parsonage of the
stage or screen would say if he were
offered II bushels of potatoes or a
nam for an evenings work 2"
1t was the old crouch himself, speak
Ing to q fellow worker during the
! lunch hour in busy downtown office,
according to the Chicago Daily News.
The old crouch had just finished read
| ing an article in which preSent-day
salaries of stage and screen stars were
spoken of. and it might be said that
the reading of this bit of news GER
tainly did not tend to brighten up his
gloomy disposition the least bit.
But the fact remains that people
equally as we'll known in their day
worked an evening for potatoes, a ham
and other triting amounts, for the old
crouch himself said he knew it to be
a fact One of his co-workers asked
to be shown and he was.
In the good old lyceum days back
in 1852, when John B. Cough was in
his prime, II is disclosed that he re-
ceived about 81 lecture, each lecture
taking about three hours.
And 1t can be seen from files Of
newspapers that once at AndOver.
\. H., those responsible for the lecture
paid Mr.. Cough with & ham instead
Of with currency. and the speaker was
apparently satisfied with this fee.
Ralph Waldo Emerson. who was one
of the shining stars of the lecture
world during his day, was glad 10 ac-
cept 50 as payment for an evening,
while the old crouch pointed out that
one time Henry Ward Beecher was
paid IL bushels of potatoes for an
evening Of his time.
According to the records It was in
1859 when the cost of lecturers started
to rise. During that year the Salem
lyceum astounded the people OF that
community by paying Daniel Webster
500 for two-hour talk, and 1t
created mild sensation.
This doubtless started Something
for after that prices continued to rise.
In the 70's Mark Twain held out for
and received $500 night.
Then Beecher, taking his cue from
Twain, became a hOldout and he con-
tinued to hold out until the ante for
one night of his services had been
raised to $1,000. this being the very
first 81 900 fee ever paid a lecturer
In this or any other country.
Major Pond. accepting the $1,000
mark, later contracted with Henry M. |
Stanley for series of 100 lectures.
agreeing to pay him 100000 for |
hem. The major did not lose any
money on this in spite of the fact that |
,very other promoter in the country
vas convinced of the fact that he had |
become weak-minded in his advanced
ears. The fact that the first of this
series of lectures given in New York
letted $4,000 proved that the major
vas not so wrong after all.
It's not right" the old crouch con-
inued. "Here we work hard week
lfter week for = small pitt1nce and
hese lecturers. actors, fighters and
ail players get thousands of dollars
or few hours Of fun There ought
o he law against It."
About that time the lunch period
nded. much to the delight of the 9th
r workers. who were trying to relax
nd who could not because of the old
rouch and his wailing.

Principle and Impulse.

lmpulsiveness would be greater
blessing If only we would use our i'm
pulses instead Of letting them use US.
Let good impulses have their rightful

behind them.

Another factor which has caused
the addition Of many unnecessary

A standard unit of measure should

and uniform value. The heaped bushel,
which Is in common use, is far from
being fixed and in many instances
the heap has practically disappeared

Preparations Could Be Only
Topic to interest Germans;
That Is Taboo.
BY MARIE DE MONTALNO,
International News Service.

The French delegation doubts that
Germany will be invited to attend
this conference. II she should be
invited. high officials say, the only
subject in which she can be interested
is that Of reparations; and any dis
cussion of the matter Of reparations
here would place upon the powers rep
resented.> the duty of guaranteeing
the payment of Germany's reparation
TO France
But / find it difficult TO believe, "
said NJ. Viviani, head of the French
delegation, that Germany will be
asked TO participate. / think rumors
TO this effect must be quite without
foundation. since we have received
no official notification Of any such
intention.
But this conference was called to
consider, for one thing, the problems
Of the Far East. With these Ger
many is no longer concerned, since
she possesses no holdings there. An
other matter was that of land dis
armament. Germany's situation on
this question was settled by the
treaty of Versailles, and l anticipate
no revision here Of the treaty Of Yer.
sailles
Nothing Ia left, then. to discuss
with Germany but matters OF finance.
We are prepared TO broaden the scope
of such conversations as that at
Wiesbaden, but l see no reason for
holding such a meeting here"
Asked whether he had decided def
nitely to.leave this country November
IA, NJ. Viviani said: II came to
Washington neither as minister nor
as ambassador, and, sensible though
/ am of the honor paid me when !
was asked to represent my country
here, I cannot ignore my many obli.
cations at Paris, where ! am very
busy. Nevertheless, II some grave
question. such as the naval disarma
ment program, should still remain
in allegiance, I should not feel free
to go. but would continue 10 repre-
sent my country here regardless OF
personal sacrifice"
