You may think the same thing. It would take a good, sound, logical argument to convince you that aD typewriters do not have the same efficiency and that a stenographer cannot secure the same results on every machine. * We are ready to make that argument and to show you by actual demonstration that The L C. Smith & Bros. Typewriter will do more work, better work, with less fatigue to the stenographer, than any writing machine ever made. How is this possible ? Here are a few reasons: 1. It is ball bearing throughout—others are not. 2. All operations are controlled from the keyboard. 3. It is the lightest touch machine made. 4. It does not “smut” the carbon. 5. The ribbon reverses automatically. 4. The type is so protected that it is not battered by collision. 7. One motion of the band returns the carriage and operates the line space. 8. It has an inbuilt biller and tabulator. 9. No trouble to write on paper as small as a post* age stamp. 10. It is built for service.

A* a Soy, He was Leader of the Musi cal College Band—He Studied in Naples—Has Filled Many Notable Engage-merits. The coming of the Royal Italian Guards Band to this city, Chautauqua Week, is an event of interest to c very lone who loves the music of a good | band. The Royal Italian Guards toured the territory of the Redpath-Horner Chau tauquas last summer, and have been brought back this summer at the re quest of thousands of Chautauqua patrons throughout the Middle West. They have been in Europe all winter and came back for this tour about the middle of May . The baud was organized by Victor, the celebrated baud man, in Venice, three years ago, and this is their third trip to America. They made a Chau tauqua tour through the East two years ago. Their winter engagements hare been in Europe, where they have scored many notable successes. They have played at Royal Com mand on several state occasions, an honor second to none over in sunny Itaiy. The director of the Royal Italian j Guards is Signor Lacerenza, and of j Signor Lacerenza, Mr. Victor writes j as fellows: “Signor Lacerenza was at the age i of ten when he was placed in the Coys’ Musical College of his native town near Naples. Signor Lacerenza "It was not long before he devel- I oped his musical genius, and during a ' local anniversary celebration in the j town hall, the well known Neapolitan Concert Baud of seventy-ftve musicians vra3 engaged to do honor to the feasL Ono of the main attractions at the town hall that night was the first ap pearance of the Boys’ Musical College i Band. The now famous Lacerenza was then what was known as the head master cf his class, and was recog nized as the boy leader. The Talk of the Evening. “It was net the music rendered, or the select program that was the talk of the evening, but the appearance of this youngster on the leader platform, to open the first part of the evening’s program. “The house was wild with enthus iasm. The entire population, number ing a few thousand, began talking about the boy leader. Finaly when the leader of the big band heard of it, he expressed his desire of wanting to meet this wonderful boy. Following the meeting, it was not long before he discovered his musical ability, and he made him an offer to take him to Naples, and under his directorship Inish the course. Lacerenza, the boy conductor, went with him. “At the age of twenty years, ac cording to the laws of the Italian gov ernment, he was compelled to join the army, and at once joined the regi mental crack band, the 22nA Infantry, as chief trumpeter. Two years later he was appointed the master of the i band, an honor that very few achieved. "It was at the time of the annual fall tour of the band that I met Sig nor Lacerenza, in Milan. Later the Royal Italian Guards were organized with Signor Lacerenza as director. “I regard him as one of the greatest ! bandmasters we have today.” SEASON TICKET PLAN-BEST. You may go to the Chautauqua with a season ticket, or a single admission ticket you buy at the gate. On the season ticket plan the cost is about half of what it is on the other plan. The season ticket may be used by any member of the family.. Besides, the community’s interest in a Chautauqua Is measured largely by the season ticket sales. The Chautauqua’s pen* manency depends on the& Obeyed Orders. He likes to be a fellow who Does as he's bid. The lady told him to sklddoOt And he sklddid. Discontent. “Man is never satisfied.” "I guess you are right." “Penwiddie used to say if he could just own an automobile he would he happy.” “And now?" “He vows he’ll never be happy until he gets an auto horn that sounds Ilka Chautauqua is the one-week of the year. It is a great show place where folks see much and hear more. It is the summer university of the people with all the hard grind left out and a lot of fun stuck in its place. A mental and physical playground where minds grow and develop and bodies relax. It is for everybody. It is the people’s forum where the interests of every man are given full consideration and a fair, square deal. Not only the most American thing in America, as some bright man has said, but the most intellectual thing offering amusement and joyful entertainment with no stiffness and no starch. Just congenial, neighborly, inspir ing association. (Copyright by Redpath-Horner.) HAD A GREAT MEMORY REMARKABLE GIFT OF A PRESBY TERIAN MINISTER. Became a Living Concordance to the Bible and Could Give Chapter and Verse for Any Passage Recited to Him. Of the many examples of prodigious memories which have recorded from time to time none, perhaps, have been so remarkable as the case of. Rev. Thomas Threlkeld, who was a Presby terian minister at Rochdale for twen ty-eight years, and died there in April. 1806, at the age of 67. Threlkeld's memory first attracted attention when he attended the grammar school at Daventry. where he began to make a close study of the Bible. When a pas sage was recited to him he could im mediately give it, chapter and verse and, on the other hand, if a chapter and verse were given he could at once repeat the passage. Both at Davehtry and Warrington, where he went to finish hi3 education, his fellow students delighted in put ting his memory to the test, and nev er cnce was it known to be at fault. “In later years,” says Mr. Frank Hird, in “Lancashire StorieB,” "Threl keld was looked upon as a living con cordance to the Bible in Rochdale and the neighborhood, and he was con stantly asked the most puzzling ques tions by his brother ministers, some times actually for information, but generally for mere amusement. He was never known to be wrong.” Threlkeld's powers of memory, how ever, were nut solely concerned with theology. He was also a linguist, and knew nine or ten languages, while dates were a passion with him, no matter how unimportant. His knowl edge of historical dates, of chronology, heraldry and genealogy was cyclapae dlc, and one of his favorite amuse ments was to go through the succes sion in the Episcopal Sees and trace the pedigrees of families. “In only one direction,” continues Mr. Hird, “would this wonderful mem ory eeem to have been of direct serv ice. Threlkeld was one of the man agers of a fund for the benefit of the ^widows of Presbytejian ministers, and consequently was frequently appealed to on circumstances connected with the lives of dead ministers, and such was the opinion of his memory that If the books had been consulted and had been reported differently the error would have been imputed to the sec retary and not to Mr. Threlkeld’s memory This was deemed infallible. —Tid Bits. Nature’s Silent Power. Calamities! If any state in the Union had had an earthquake or fire causing a loss of from $20,000,000 to_ $40,000,000 we should have stood aghast. But the recent extraordinary cold snap in the citrus fruit bait of California ia reported to have ruined . almost four-fifths of the orange and lemon crops. The estimated damage is put by some as high as $40,000,000, of which between $5,000,000 and $8, 000,000 will be a loss to railroads in curtailed freight receipts. Nature ex erts its destructive forces In many ways, sometimes with the violence of an earthquake, and at others with the silent, sweeping, icy -hand of the Frost King. California has suffered in re* cent years from both visitations. But its wonderful natural advantages, its wealth of resources, and, above all. , its self-reliant people, may always be depended npon to lift it above every adversity. But hasn’t it had Its share for the present?—Leslie’s. Little Things as an Index. “Here,” said an observer, “was a machine upon which appeared the name plate of the manufacturer; a small and not essential feature, but this plate had bean set on true, and then the screws by which It was held in place had all been turned up until the slots in their heads all Bhowed in precisely the same position, alike, uniform. “WhjSfcuer put this plate on m&de a nice, liilifeed job of it; and I should be inclined' to think that a shop that had such pride in even tie minor de- • tails of its work. vwrid4»«Md Ikriiiinf ~ i I Sympathetic. “I enjoy a genuine, old-fashioned blizzard,” said the Grouch Man. “I like to see the weather get busy, and rock the steeples and rattle the win dows, instead of loafing around in the quiet valleys, as If life were nothing but a sigh in a dream.
