w. J. MINGES LECTURES TODAY
International Orchestra Will Appear
Afternoon and Evening
With today's program, chautauqua
closes for another year. The Inter-
national company is smaller concern
than the Keith -Vawter, here in former
years, but its talent is excellent and
the cost is less owing to it shorter
stay.
Today the international orchestra
will give a full programme classical
and popular instrumental numbers at
2:30 p. M, and the quintet will play
varied selections again at 8. VIM.
John Minges has two lectures, the
first in the afternoon on Indicators"
the second on the subject Discovering
New Continents" closes the program
tonight.
To start at the first, a free home
talent program was given on Monday
afternoon to start the new chautauqua
off in good standing. Many person
in the audience said, II would rather
see and hear our good old home talent
any time, for they are doing better
every performance they give" And
the music, and the play made the
hours pass rapidly away for every
body, even if the program did start
late.
Monday evening the main attrac-
tion was Ash Davis, of Fostoria, Ohio,
who furnished plenty Of good humor
while drawing characters, landscapes,
hidden pictures and changing one
thing into another. His rapid run Of
stories to go with each drawing made
two hours Of clever comedy and drew
many laugh from the audience.
Mr.. Davis gave away his most beau
tiful scenes, to which he had explained
every touch Of color given them. "The
Sunset" on ripping lake; "The
Moonrise" on a beautiful scene, which
he drew upside down; the log cabin
scene, given to G. B. Phifer, the oldest
man in the audience who had lived in
a log cabin; and the sketch of "every
mans ideal girl" in Red Cross CO.'S
tune, then changed to the old FASH
ioned girl, were some Of his real hard
drawings. The we'll blended colors
made them appear like paintings to
the eye.
"Ye Old Home Singers" gave the
afternoon concert Tuesday, before DR..
Geo. P. Bible Of Pennsylvania lee
tured on the humorous subject, "Fads
and Extremes" His ideas are big and
broad and sometimes shocking to the
mind, in order that his subject will
stick and be thought Of great deal.
Attractive personality, steady flow Of
words, knowledge Of his subject, and a
display of human interest simply
made him hold the audience.
i In the evening, sketch written es-
pecially for aye Old Home Singers"
was presented, with change of cos
tune from modern to old fashioned
1776 days.
"Every person has a mission in
life," said DR., Bible at the evening
program, speaking on "Life and OPP
portunity." -
"'My mission is to save young men
said one man not long ago to me, and
when he arose on the platform of
revival meeting and said that, one old
maid got up timidly and begged, Save
one for me-
1T is an effort for a man to save
himself" he stated. "Two-thirds of
the men born never save themselves
capably. AS proof, look at the jails,
penitentiaries, and study the bills in
congress for appropriations for larger
reform einstitutions. If the men now
in these places were to walk out, an
other grist could go right in and take
their places. Something is wrong in
education or these conditions would
not exist"
"Three women graduate from high
school to one man. New York banks
take girls into employment because
they do not dissipate like the men,"
he said. "In twenty years, the little
nimbly, pimbly man is going to run to
the women for jobs, for they are 60
ing to be the BOSSES"
Discussing the divorce question, DR..
Bible said, "Live with what you've
got. If both man and wife have bad
GShPSA AVOVuy CAoC WduIo IllIu OT IlcE
when you've got rid Of each other.
When disappointed wife sees the
man she has, her ideals are lowered
and she will sink to his standard from
necessity. The divorce court helps
her to get away from the sorrow that
will follow as the years go BY"
Love is an itching sensation and you
don't know where to scratch, is the
speakers definition of love. It is quite
as good as what he calls critic;
critic is an individual who is exceed
ingly alive on all dead issues.
Life is the most interesting study in
the world, according to the doctor.
Man, when educated, controls nature
as he should. God holds the reins and
when life is spent, man goes back to
the Maker. Thoughts are real things
