'• 'Perhaps *we are all more or less that way. All the wise men of
ill ages haye urged their fellow beings to PUT AWAY SOMETHING

YOUTH  AND  AGE.
E .is not young;, although his years
be few.
Who is hot glad when skies grow
clear and blue,
__     When  from, »)_* south the win-
_  _        some spi'ir;_,- returns-
And  earth is  clothed  with   verdure  soft
and new.
He is not young who, with unheeding eye.
Sees the procession of fair days move" by,-
Passing in golden glory down the west.
Nor feels his heart •with happiness  beat
high. .
Nor is'he 'old. though; slow his step, once
free. ,
Who finds a temple irf each stately tree,
Whose soul rejoices in the scented hours
With bird and flower and honey seeking
bee.
He is not young who can in earth behold
Only  a  stage  where he wins place and
gold.
But he who feels its wonder day by day,
Whate'er his years, he never can be old.

BRAVING AERIAL -IANESS.
Easier For'the Balloonist Than-Por the
•     Man In an Aeroplane.
1 am often asked why the aeroplane,
which has reiic-lij__ at its very highest
a little over 1S.OO0 feet, brings back Its
aviator even from a inucb lower point,
often   almost   exhausted    with    cold,
when the balloonist floating for hours
t..a height of over four miles is not-
overcome   by   low   temperature   and
I hardly inconvenienced.   The answer is
simple.    The hviatort riisbes  upward
from  the  earth,   cutting  his. way  In
ascending   spirals   ever -against** the
wind of his own swift flight and the
roaring blast of(:^ propeller.   ■ <
He is the epitdme of action. He is
man's supreme defiance 'of nature's
precedents. The nervous strain Is
something fearful as the machine
claws up tS»? side of nothingness toward a mark in the heavens, invisible
yet all compelling, the mark another
man has set—the altitude record. Gilt
of sight of the waiting crowds, no
longer even a dot in the sky, he may
meet opposing air currents, blinding
cloud banks tbat-mnffle him so that he
cannot see the tips of- his own wings.
He may be forced to buck against adverse conditions so" that he beeps cir-

freezes at a lower temperature than

cold.

Over Three Thousand Programs Will
■ -     ■ a   - -   **-      -    . ■- - ? -
Be Given in Various Centers   -
This Summer.
Two. strangers drove into.town the
other day. They were overheard in hot
debate. One contended that the Ghau-
tauqua. advertisements were for a medicine show, the other was of the opinion that they were announcements of a
traveling Indian base ball club. What
is a Chautauqua? Why? How did the
Chautauqua come by its peculiar name?
What was its origin? Is i. Indian or
Italian"? * What are the peculiar features of a-Chautauqua? These and similar questions are heard daily - on our
streets. Several hot debates -/have
arisen over the pronunciation of the
word. Through the .Central.Chautauqua System we'have secured the following interesting facts:
The,word is of Indian origin applied
to a beautiful lake in Western New
York. It is pronounced Shaw-taw-qua.
In 1874 Bishop Vincent and several kindred spirits selected a camp ground on
the shores of-the lake to conduct a
summer school where they proposed to
combine education, refined entertainment, religious instruction and recreation. The"*Tde'a was novel, original and
popular. The attractiveness, of" the
place and program grew.anddrew people from all parts of the-Country. People came from great distances, and soon
there was a growing demand for branch
assemblies- at various convenient centers. Here was the impelling motive
which has led to the establishment of
many Chautauquas. It was the desire
to take, the splendid features of the
Mother Chautauqua to every man, woman and child in the country.
The great handicap of early Chautauquas was the expensive railroad fare.
Today the Chautauqua is taken to the
people. We have at our door every essential feature of the parent institution.-
The treat once reserved for those who
could afford to laave home and business
and indulge in extensive travel is now
.extended to -the rank and file. The circuit system is the last word in the development of this remarkable institution. It is a triumph of modern efficiency, organization and system.
Waste is eliminated and. by*, the very
bigness of the business the cost is reduced. Without the expenditure -.of a
single-cent for transportation, the com-
mon.people have the chances once limited to a favored'few.
The Chautauqua platform' .attracts
the greatest minds "and mostrsplendid
personalities of our generation. "The
audiences are .invariably the cream of
•the community. They may differ in
Creeds, jn'polities', in,social standards,
in business relations, Jm ideas ,and
ideals, but they are almost universally
open minded. - They are ju_t that part
of the general public which is "most receptive .to the. big questions of .current
interest "       "
It is believed by- leaders of thought
that the Chautauqua movement *_i yet
in its ^infancy. "*Over-three thousand
programs will be given hi various centers this summer. It is an institution
destined,- tp fee a mighty factor iri the
.fujftre history of our country.
At a meeting of Chautauqua committees Tuesday evening it was decided to follow the same, plan in selling
tickets, as is. the cUstorc. with th,e high
school lecture course—1_ba,t ia^ permit
two people to a.tten.6. ajny- aembex on

:on the ticket,^ which will allow two
persous to' afctead - five entertainments
during th© week with one ticket. Season .tickets are «ow on sale and.the
demand for them is reported good. It
is cheaper to buy* a ticket good for the
whole course than it will be to attend
occasional programs, as . single admissions - to- the full 'course, would
amount-, to "more than three dollars;
