The plan of chautauqua management
as adopted by the Redpath Chautauqua
System is now recognized all over the
United States as the one plan that will
keep chautauquas up to the standard
Many old assemblies are asking to be
taken into the system saying that they
can under the Redpath plan get better
talent with but very little local risk
The System plan has proved its effi
ciency and will continue to grow and

In England all one spring It was hack
In the eighties hut 1 aiut never recov
ered ihe iitiltliy color and weight what
i lost 1 guess I never will now
Down Norfolk way 1 baited down
in the Norfolk broads Crouds is
swamps All them swamps together
with the mild moist climate makes
Norfolk a great place for leeches Me
and a dozen other chaps was leech
bait
We would wade in with our breeches
rouiM up to our Knees aim as soon as-
wed feel a leech on our legs wed tear
him off and drop him in a basket slung
froift the shoulder Quick as thunder
wed do il but hed be considerable
plumped out even in that little while
And when a dozen leeches settled on
you together the last of em by the
lime you got round to him would he as
fat aud heavy as a lump of lead whilst
youd be that much lighter natcherly
In the late spring the leeches took
to dcp water Then the bait had to
strip aud wade in up to their chins
With all that surface to look after we
played a losin game with the leeches
The quickest of us couldnt stand
moreu four hours of It without most
fa hit in from weakness And the pain
For some parts of the human bait is
mighty sensitive 1 tell you
Tile trades died out now Theres
no more call for leeches and its a
good thing Bein bait is too hard on

Wcy Rajah Birbar Saved
His
Head by Ready Vit
liajnh Birbar a boon companion of
the Emperor Ah bar the great con
temporary of Queen Elizabeth was a
notable wit The story goes that the
emppror once Birbar with a mes
sage lo the king of Persia
The latter for dome reason or other
bore a grudge toward the rajah and in
order to see him lose the emperors
favor thought of a device
lie asked Li bar Which of us two
is greater in power and majesty I or
Akbar But mind you if your an
swer is m any way unfavorable to me
1 will order your head to be struck
off
Your majesty replied Birbar with
out loss of time is like the full moon
while the emperor my master resem
bles the crescent
The king was highly pleased with
his reply and let him go
Tins news was however carried to
Akbar who was wild with rage when
he heard it When Birbar returned to
his masters court he was asked to ex
plain himself on pain of death
My comparison said Birbar
meant only this much and nothing
more that the decline of the Persian
kings power had commenced jus as
the full moon after it is full goes on
waning while your majesty is destined
to rise on aud one till like the crescent
becoming the full moon in time it will
shine forth with magnificent splendor
of glory
The emperor who was a great patron
of wit and wisdom heaped the rajah
with rewatds
