25 000 Spent for Advertising The Lincoln State Journal of April 3 discusses at some length the plan and scope of the Western Redpath System whose manager Mr Chas F Horner has his office in the Burr Block of that city The writer of the article explains that the independent Chautauquas all over the country have been forced to abandon their projects because the receipts have been insuf ficient to warrant them in continuing Timf wo lmvn 2n pities ilrv that to hold annual assemblies It is have each from 2500 to 15000 popu lation That Maryville Nodaway county has two saloons that each year pay 5000 license the highest in the state that Mexico in Audrain coun ty has three saloons that pay 4000 Eighty five saloons in the state pay over 2000 license a year apiece 238 saloons in the state pay 1000 a year license or over Every one pointed out that what is everybodys business is no bodys business and that lack of careful buiness manage ment has compelled a readjustment o method in the conducting the peoples university Mr Horner is credited by the Journal with being one of the originators of the circuit plan The season of 1910 is the fourth for the Western circuit and will be the largest ever attempted by any management anywhere Between seventy and eighty assemblies will be held in five states In every case the of these makes money What have j original Chautauqua idea refined

railroads will be patronized The Man Behind the Plan And now what of the personality of the young man whose genius this clock work system is due It will be barely on the shady side of thirty years but measured by his experience he is old beyond his years It requires a superlative degree of optimism and an unbounded confidence in human kind to enter into contracts aggregating 100000 a year in advance of the opening of the season to in vest thousands more in perishable equipment that must withstand the fury of the elements to arrange for the expenditure of other thousands in transportation and all the while bank ing his judgment upon his ability to please the public and give them what they need and want Yet this is literally what Mr Hor ner does and he makes it go Perhaps the controlling factor of Mr Horners personality lies in his ability to judge people and to surround himself with efficient able assistants To them he imparts his own confidence in his pro jects and infuses them with his own virile ambition and earnestness Tal entr agents employes all are person ally devoted to him and would go to any length to assist him Of the hun dreds of men who have been connected with him at different times he holds the warmest respect and admiration of all But aside from his pleasing manners he is a genius To his keen quick and discriminating judgment is due the

being the same that almost proved fatal some time ago The first intimation that anything was amiss was the fail ure of the king tomeet the queen who had just returned from the continent It Is said that the kings throat trou ble has always been of a more trou blesome than dangerous nature He KING EDWAKD VII has been a heavy smoker of strong black cigars and partly because of that has had a very irritable throat He has been a frequent sufferer from laryngitis The kings previous serious illness was in April 1000 when he wns re ported to have suffered a slight apo plectic stroke at Biarritz in the south of France where he had been some time for his health Up to that time rumors of his falling health current some years ago had been lost sight of in view of bis more recent activity This was especially noticeable in the summer of 100S when he made an of ficial visit to the czar of Russia in ad dition to attending to the many duties of his position in England The prin cipal task of King Edward during that year was to act as peacemaker be tween disputing nations particularly to prevent an outbreak of war in the Balkans In February 1000 he made a visit to Emperor William of Germany and after returning to England and open ing parliament left for his annual visit to Biarritz Soon after his arrival it was reported that he was gravely ill and on March 10 there was a startling rumor that he had been assassinated Dispatches from London and Paris of that date however stated that there was no confirmation of the re ports from Biarritz that King Edward was seriously ill The recent agitatiou against the house of lords with the consequent po litical crisis is believed to have wor ried the king considerably DECORATING THE GRAVES A Memorial Day- Custom That Can Never Die Memorial day approaches again and with it that beautiful custom of strew ing flowers on the graves of the fallen heroes It speaks volumes for the in nate patriotism of the people that they aave annually for forty two years re peated the ceremonies suggested by v A 1 Xa GRANT IN CAMP IN 1864 General John A Logan in an order is sued on May 5 1SGS The idea was most enthusiastically received through out the country and instead of waning as time goes by the custom is more and more observed each year No more beautiful scene could be presented than that of the procession of aged and battle scarred veterans and their friends marching to the sol emn music of a funeral dirge up and down the cemetery aisles scattering flowers over the graves of comrades that had shared with them the long marches the deadly conflict of battle the privations and dangers of war following close behind them the wives daughters widows and orphans laying their tributes and dropping their tears upon The graves of those who tone and temper lent And triumphed at many a sturdy fight Of those who fell in dutys lofty cause And iebly died for right And when after not one grave has been forgotten or unmarked by a tiny flag and wreuth of flowers and the procession proceeds to the place where prayers are to be said eulogies pro nounced and some inspiring music and song are rendered the picture is com pleted i mimiiii GOT THE EGGS FRESH Thev Were Turtle Eggs and Agassiz Wanted Them A WILD RACE AGAINST TIME The Professor Had to Havo the Eggs Beforo They Were Three Hours Old and This Is the Story of How the Hunter Made Good His Promise When Professor Louis Agassiz was writing a book on the turtles of the United States it became necessary for hlin to have some fresh turtle eggs He engaged Mr Jenks of Middleboro about forty miles from Cambridge to get them for him Mr Jenks promised that the eggs should be in Agassizs hands before they were three hours old Mr Jenks who told the tale to a writer in the Atlantic Monthly had 4o wait by a certain pond for the tur tles to come out and lay their eggs In the sand Finally after weeks of waiting one morning about 4 oclock a turtle crawled up the beach partly buried herself in the soft sand and laid her eggs Mr Jenks went on to say As she did so the distant clock struck 4 There was no train till after 0 and the eggs must be in Cambridge in three hours I laid the eggs on a bed of sand in the bottom of my pail filled in be tween thoni with more sand so with another layer to the rim and covering all over smoothly with more sand I ran back for my horse He knew as well as 1 that the turtle had laid and that he was to get those eggs to Agas siz I let him out I shouted to him holding to the dasher with one hand the pail of eggs with the other not daring to got off my knees although the bang on them as we pounded down the wood road was terrific We had nearly covered the distance to the pike when ahead of me 1 heard the sharp whistle of a locomotive With a pull that lifted the horse from his feet I swung him into a field and sent him straight as an arrow for the track By some stroke of luck 1 got on the track and backed off before the train hit my carriage But the maneuver was successful for the engineer stop ped and I swung aboard the cab hat less dew soaked smeared with yellow mud and holding as if it were a baby or a bomb a little tin pail of sand Throw her wide open I command ed wide open These are fresh tur tle eggs for Professor Agassiz of Cam bridge He must have them before breakfast The engineer and the fireman no doubt thought that I was crazy but they let me alone and the fast freight rolled in swiftly to Boston But misfortune was ahead We slowed down in the yards and ame to a stop We were put on a aiding to wait no one knew how long I suddenly jumped from the engine slid over a high fence and bolted for the street In the empty square stood a cab The cabman saw me coming I waved a dollar at him and then an other dodged into the cab slammed the door and called out Cambridge Harvard college Professor Agassizs house Ive got eggs for Agassiz and I pushed another dollar up at him through the hole Let him go I ordered Heres an other dollar for you if you make Agas sizs house in twenty minutes We flew to Cambridge There was a sudden lurch and I dived forward rammed my head into the front of the cab and came up with a rebound that landed me across the small of my back on the seat and sent half of my pail of eggs belter skelter over the floor But we were at Agassizs house I tumbled out and pounded the door Agassiz I gasped when the maid came I want Professor Agassiz quick She protested that he was in bed and threatened the police But just then a door overhead was flung open a great white robed figure appeared on the dim landing above and a quick loud voice called excitedly Let him in Let him in I know him He lias my turtle eggs And the apparition slipperless and clad in anything but an academic gown came sailing downstairs The great man his arms extended laid hold of me with both hands and drag ging me and my precious pail into his study with a swift clean stroke laid open one of the eggs as the watch in my trembling hands ticked its way to 7 as if nothing unusual were hap pening in the history of the world A Fearful Poison From the microbe which gives ris in human beings to the disease known as tetanus or lockjaw a poison called tetanine is obtained which is over loo times more powerful than strychnine A fragment of tetanine so small as to be invisible to the naked eye would kill

be sure there is one less rascal in the world Carlvle OE3HW I aiae iignis i On Capital t Notables wit In Washington recently SOME the report that the hook worm had been seen lu the na tional capital and between tho men who are called the regulars and the insurgents in congress much fun lias passed over the rumor Said one of the insurgents jokingly The regulars are immune Their ac tivities ceased years ago and any of them who become n fleeted with hook worms will merely continue to follow along in shecpiike attitude toward the machine With us energetic fellows bitten In seventeen places and reduced to a condition of apathy sitting around eating blotting paper chewing lemon peel and indulging in other habits the speaker will be able to have his own way It is the last straw and the most unparliamentary proceeding in the his tory of congress The regulars come back with tho statement that it is a deep laid plot of the insurgents who hope In this way to sap their vitality so that they can no longer continue the fight Of course Uncle Joes attention was called to the hookworm report no lighted his seventeenth cigar it being early in the day and replied This came about because I went over into Virginia the other day I HEIiPl MUKDEU rOLlOE admit that while there I did see a few hookworms but I was using them for fishing purposes They are not long enough to use for fence rails you know Who Is the most popular man In Washington just now The answer is Senator Page of Vermont From the first he made many friends in the na tional capital being a mighty good fel low but at present ail congress Is reaching for his hand and patting him on tho back He is invited every where his colleagues throw out hints that if lie wants to borrow money he knows whom to go to and their auto mobiles are at his disposal The rea son Well this is maple sugar time and as a large consignment has reach ed him from Vermont you can guess the rest Mr Page has a standing order with the farmers of Vermont that lie is to have the first consignment of sugar and his order is so large that ship- A POPUIiAB SENATOR ments to the markets are delayed un til the consignment for Washington is out of the way Each senator receives a dozen cakes If he has a family of children with sweet teeth each member of the fami ly is remembered Accompanying each box of the sugar are the senators card and a quotation from John Godfrey Vermonts poet which says Men women maple sugar and horses The first are strong The last are fleet The second and third uncommonly sweet And all exceedingly hard to beat There are two Hitchcocks in Wash ington who play a prominent part in Uncle Sams affairs One is Repre sentative nitchcock of Nebraska who is married the other Postmaster Gen eral Hitchcock who is not married The other morning the former on opening his mail in his apartments found a bill from a big department store Representative Hitchcock glanc ed over it and frowned As soon as Mrs Hitchcock saw it she frowned too What does this mean anyway angrily asked the representative The answer came when he looked again at the envelope It was ad dressed to the postmaster general Now Representative
