He divided the people of tho world into
classes nnd pointed out the result if wc
were nil equal and alike. Tho master
piece of painting would bo the "Quaker
o nthe Quaker Oats box", tho musical
ideal would bo "A Hot Timo in tho
Old Town Tonight", and our greatost
poem would ho "Twinkle, Twinkle Little
Star" or Mary Had a Little Lamb1'.
If all tho money was divided each
person would have $1250 with which to
do everthing. Each ono would bo his
own grocer, tailor, governor, mayor,
own his own coal mino, run his own
railroad, etc., all 'on $1250.

EVENING SESSION.
Aftor Lowell's band lind tho Chuu-
tnuqua chorus had given their concert,
Mr. Maxwell sung by special request
Tho Old Flag novor touched tho
ground Boys." Judge Hoagland then
introduced former governor Richnrd
Yates of Illinois, who gavo his lecture
on ' 'Tho Evolution of Patriotism. ' ' Fivo
great wars have tested the patriotism
of our pcoplo and if today the sound of
tho invnders footsteps woro heard the
patriotism would bo more intenso than
ever before. Mr. YateB said that ho
hated tho professional magazine
muckrnkcr and especially ho mentioned
Lincoln Stefllns, ns nn unfair condem
nor of men and things. "Opportunity"
ho said comes not only once but is con
tinually knocking nt our door but with
out hard nnd continued work, wn never
can let it in.
Ho closed with a strong pica for edu
cation suying that "knowledge is
power," nnd that tho educated man is
to be tho leader of the future destiny
of our nation. He told tho parents that
if they did no other thing in tho world,
they should give their children tho best
education within their power.
Thnt man Maxwell, tho plntfonfi
manager at the Chautauqua, is one of
tho most cnthusintic men wo have ever
heard or seen; he enthuses everybody,
and keeps nil in good humor. What a
great world this would bo if all were so
full of enthusiasm and good cheer as
Mr. Maxwell.
