about the burglary at T C I
if Of Prot Chaffees Lecture Monday Evening
4u i
is that after breaking- in the burglar y -
may usii
The leisure was preceded by a reci
tation by Mrs Watson entitled The
Naujrliu Knur Rose which was well
received
The following is a sketch of the sub-
fine assortment in the following lines j ject A Prescription for Lean Folks
Mr Chaffee begins without describing
a lot of events that are only touched
upon in the subject but starts out with
a humorous story told by tho brother of
Oliver Wendell Holmes of a boy who
was asked to take a piece of stifcky cake
which was said to be much better than
it looked and it was to be hoped that it
was Then after getting the cakehe
was given a cup of tea and a saucer
The tea being hot it must be poured in
to the saucer but holding the cake in
one hand he could not understand how
to perform the task until the thought
occuned that he could hold the cake in
his mouth while he poured his tea and
found himself in no better circum
stances Our wortl Professor then
informed the audience that he would
deal with lean starved cross crabid
sour selfish dispositions not leanness
in flesh
Mo one can be criticised for being
selfish fo self- preation is the first
law of nature Blessed is he
who expecteth nbiv ug ior he shall
not be disappointed There are those
wht expect too much for what they are
willing to give The form of a prom
issory note is a good rule to observe
For value received I promise to pay
This might be well applied to every
thing in lite whether in obligation
financially out debtors and creditors
moi alty our duty to our fellow citizens
our family and our God Physically
we should be willing to feed our bodies
as we expect reaction and benefit there
from No one should wait for some
thing to happen so as to give them an
opportunity of paying back or to lag
because they have not been asked nor
for fear of putting themselves to the
front It is worth while to make things
happen We should crowd our work
and bring about the conditions we
want not wait for some one else to do
what we think ought to be done It
gives us infinite pleasure to pay off an
old score whether the debt is due to
one who has helped us in time of dire
trouble befriended us when we hadnt
a friend loaned us a quarter to stay
our stomach said a good word for our
parents whom we all love to cherish
and honor kissed or praised our lovely
baby or cussd kicked cuffed belabor
ed slandered or abused For value
rel eived we uromise to nav And
with the measure ye mete it shall be
measured to you again Oh what a
joy it is to pay our debts People do
not enjoy life who do not pay their
debts We like the industrial system
of working for one another but the
rough edges are always next to our
temper when some one leaves his work
undone and it falls to our lot to do it
If when a piece of work is to be done
John shirks his part the others have
to work the harder A merchant sel
lingvon time will lose some accounts
He must have his living some one has
to make up the shortage of hisaccouuts
An elephant stepped on a poor par
tridge ouce and undertook to take care
of the young birds by sitting down on
i the nest Our efforts should not be
misplaced but bent where appreciated
aud where good cau be wrought
It is hard to find a man who can be
trusted as an employe who is not too
large for his position Though in full
cution were Countv Attorney Morris- sympathy with downtrodden labor we
sey Mike Harrington and Chauncy
are also sorry for the employer who
has a man in his employ that is too
small for his position A faithful man
does not seek continually for a place
A man who is not loo large is generally
too small for his position
The difference between a slave tind a
free man the slave tries to do some
thing the freeman tries to be some-
People expect more of the profession
al men than of others but it is their
business and from which they expect
to make their monev Few people are
s working for their health or for the
i glory of patriotism and benevolence
As a business man a doctor would

most worthy of
men is he who can
make two blades of grass and two ears
of corn grow where only one grew be
fore This is a business world and the
almighty dollar is the cause of the
struggle Where charity has fed ten
people trade has fed ten thousand
We should have a higher motive than
to work for the money there is in it
The wonen want to work and are anx

so homelike and run as a pleasure on
the glad to see you style
The great menwill do honor to a
man who is faithf Ahin his business as
Patrick Mullen the gun smith who re
fused bribes offered him to put his
name on inferior gujcis that they might
reap a harvest Seest thou a man
diligent in his business he shall stand
before kings Discontent was illus
trated by Scene 1 in the 1st Act of Jul
ius Caesar Differences in people were
shown by the expression which is
sometimes a man and his wife other
times a woman and her husband
That people who are unused to trou
ble are often very much annoyed by
trifles was shown by the incident of
the family riding in a sleeping car with
a complaining wife who annoyed the
other passengers who exclaimrd
Throw her out Here we havent had
a bit of sleep for an hour The fath
er answered How would you like to
have her with you all the time
llather than discontented grumbling
a hearty laugh is to be preferred if it
is genuine mirth or affected humor
It is the enjoyment that we get out of
life that makes it worth the living
People who enjoy life do not wear
that hungry look If you are in doubt
about whether you can afford to be
happy put down on one side of your
ledger the things that make you sad
on the other side the things that make
you happy and you will see a balance
due you for mirthfulnes Jo spend
it Some people do not take time to
enjoy even their meals They v sit
down to the table as a train tops at a
coaling station and feed themselves as
one shoveling the coal Are you shov
eling by the day or by the job We
should sit down to our tables cheer
fully and be satisfied if we have bean
soup
A man goes out to work is so busy
that he hasnt time to eat is always in
a hurry down town in the morning
only a mouthful at noon so much
engrossed in business after a while his
place is vacant on the street cars
stomach trouble says the doctor
his friends say Poor Brown so
young too with a nice family growing
up-
Give me this day my daily bread
and give me time to eat it A few
more familiar phrases will be given
without further comment for want of
space
The best way to drink -water is to
scoop it up -with a long handled diaper
and not a little stingy glass half full
The professor once wrote a poem on
spring but with our permission re
frained from reading it Dont worry
about your enemies We should be
thankful that we are not born idiots
Dont complain of your lot as long as
you have your whole physical being
Keferred to the lecturer who guaran
teed satisfaction and as the audience
left before he finished declared that
they -were satisfied Last enjoy -what
you have and keep agoing
If you strike a tborn or rose
Keep acoing
II it8 calm or ff it blows
Keep agoing
Whats the e to sit and whine
Cause the fish aren t on yonr line
