CHAUTXQUA CLOSES
VERY SUCCESSFUL WEEK
Thursday Afternoon

|
The Princess TIE Alta and Company
had charge of this program. The
| Company consisted of two indian girls
and one white girl, pianist. The re-
cital consisted of Indian legions and
songs, and classic indian dances.
Princess Te Alta is a native Of
Kansas, from an Oklahoma tribe.
The other Indian girl, beautiful
singer is from the Dakota tribe OF
noted ancestry. These indian maidens
were most carefully educated, and in
most delightful manner entertained
the audience.
Thursday Evening.
The evening session Thursday was
opened by prelude, given by Prin-
cess Re Alta and her company.
The evening lecture was given by
James Heron in a most pleasing and
instructive manner. He brought out
the true principles of life, in his lee
ture entitled Building Better Busi
ness By Building Better Men" Mr..
Heron with genuine Scottish wit, spi
ced his serious sayings. The child
is born. Man is builded. How are you
building today Check yourself, are
you living or Just passing through
life? BE true and give and give.
Give self in. the service to others.
Build well. There is only one way
by which we can build-serving
others-otherism. Not what you
know, but how we'll you use what
you know. We must be true. Day
by day give self for others. Sell self,
every one sells himself to every other
self.
Think. Fix your mind to want the
good. Each individual is three sells.
The man he thinks he Is; the man
God knows him to be. The measure
of man. Be better man. The man
God wants for each to be. We can't
retain happiness until we give hap
piness. Let us have faith in our
vision. For where there is no vision
the people perish"
Good business is God like. Bust
anity, All men are true, all have
some good, trust that good. Business
is an organized method Of serving.
The true soul services.
Communities can't stand still, they
must either go forward or backward
and each individual must have self
control. God made this beautiful
world for man to enjoy, and use, and
ove, and uplift. Let us then be up
and doing.
Friday Afternoon

cert given by the Thaviu Band. This

enced band and they certainly rem
Tered treat.
Friday Evening
The evening program was a most

were in the building, the shock of the
explosion was so great that practi-
cally every one was hurled to the

room from the rest of the building
were blown to pieces. and the clothing
of the men in the room was blown
from their bodies.
