Mclntyre, of Denver, will lecturo in

Subject, "Evolution of Abe Lincoln,''
Under the auspices of Epworth League.
People laugh and cry and shout, when
they hear Mclntyre, the silver-tongued
orator. James Whitcomh Riley the
famous "Iloouitr Poet" of Indiana,
after hearing Mclntyre. says: "Old
Soldiers stood up and cheerod as
though tho long hushed voices of the
brave leaders called again, and high
above tho black amok of the fray,
they saw the old llag lift once more
and laugh out in breaths of victory.
There was flro, there was fervor,
through it all, and yet a pathetic
undertone that swept on In sobs and
tears. Near me sat an old veteran,
whose lips fell falterlngly from patri
otic shouts to tremulous muttering of
prayer, ebllvlous as It ssemed of all
things but the speaker's matchless
oratory."
