Prayer For Every Man.
Teach me that 60 minutes

pound, and 100 cents sl,
Help me t.o live that I can lie
down at night with a clear
conscience without a gun under
my pillow, and unhaunted by
the faces of those to whom 1
have brought pain.
Grant, I beseech Thee, that I
earn imy meal ticket on the
square, and in the doing theieaf
that Ima y not stick the gaff
where it does not belong.
Deafen me to the jingle of
tainted money and the rustle of
unholy skirts.
Blind me to the faults of the
other fellow but reveal to me my
own. ✓
Guide me so that each night
when I look across the dinner
table at my wife, who has been
a blessing to me, I will have
nothing to conceal.
Keep me young enough to
laugh with my .children and to
lose myself in their play.
And when comes the smell of
flowers, and the tread of soft
steps, and the crunching of the
hearse's wheels in the grave!

THE CHAUTAUQUA FOLKS
WHO THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY DO
OPENING DAY ATTRACTIONS
Dr. Frank Vrooman and The Bessie Leigh
Concert Company.
In introducing the Radcliffe
Attracaions, which will apnearin
the Chautauqua performances
in this city August 25 26 and' 27
attention should be called to the
Bessie Leigh Concert Company,
composed of Nell R. Whavne.
vocalist; Harry S. Robinson, vio
linist, and Bessie Leigh, reader
and empersonator.
Miss Nell R. Whayne—Soprano.
We feel fortuntte in securing
an artist such as Miss Whayne for
this company. Stately and gra
cious in appearance and manner,
she possesses a voice, wonderful
in its volume and quality. Her
charming personality, together
with her remarkable voice, make
her long remembered wherever
she appears. Miss Whayne was
prima donna soloist with the
Metropolitan Qaatette which
toured the United States with
I the famous Liberati Band.
Mr. Harry S. Robinson- Violinist.
Mr. Robinson has successfully
toured the United States and
Canada in Chautauqua work. He
is one of the most artistic and
pleasing violinists now before
the public. He combines intellect
with artistic terperament, and
produces a result not often found
on the Chautauqua Platform.
His violin, a rare old instrument,
is a delight to all who love and
appreciate music. His success
has been quite remarkable and
the Chautauqua audiences will ,
find him a polished gentleman
with the mind and soul of an
artist —a superior violinist who
gives to them *he best and most
pleasing of violin compositions.
Miss Bessie Leigh--Entertainer.
Miss Leigh belongs to the new ' {
school of readers. Indeed, she
is in a class of her own—just
natural. Without any attempt ,
to make an impression, she im
presses doubly by her charming
simplicity and delightful origin
' alitjr. "- She suggests in her mus- (
ical monologues Carrie Jacobs (
Band. Miss Leigh is not with- |
out 1 the power to interpret the ■
deeper passions of the soul. She
knows how to portray the great
er moods of Victor Hugo, and is
at home in the atmosphere of
Western life. An audiences never (
tires as it listens to this charm- £
ing little woman, with a face that
mirrors all the clouds and sun- i
shine of tragedy and humor. ,
Dr. Frank Buffington Vrooman— |
Lecturer.
Dr. Vrooman lectures on "The
New Agriculture ' and "Arma- 1
geddan and After." HisDrother, 1
Hon. Carl Schurez Vrooman, is
the assistant Secretary of Agri
culture, who is devoting his ener- 1
gies to help the farmers. Dr. 1
Vrooman has traveled far and 1
gathered material with the in- '
tuition of a bee that sucks sweet- '
ness from the flowers. He is a 1
3tudent of current problems, and
speaks with authority. He has '
had the honor of being called to 1
deliver a series of lectures at Oxr
ford University, England. He is
a graceful, eloquent speaker who :
uses English with the skill an 1
expert workman handles tools.
SECOND DAY ATTRACTIONS
Charles B. Hanford, America's Great Tragic
Actor and The Mysterious Milburns. |
Mr. Charles B. Hanford.
Mr, Hanford takes his audience
into the classic drama—the realm
of tragedy, romance and comedy.
His association with Robson and
Crane. Edwin Booth and Law
rence Barrett, Thomas W. Keene
and Louis James, together with
his twenty-fiye years as a star at
the head of his own company,
has firmly established him in the
public eve as one of America's
greatest actors of classic roles.
He is as much at home in Ham
let, Marc Antony and Malvolio
as he is with Shylcck, lago and
Leontes.
The Mysterious Milburns—Magicians
Gustave Milburn is a magician
and his charming wife is his ca
able assistant. Together they
make an attractive couple, who
delight the children and enter
tain their parents. Among his
magical novelties are tricks
which puzzle the mind and cheer
the heart. What he says is of
ten quite as interesting as what
> he does. Dexterity, suggestion,
mystery and humor make up a
program with an irresistible fas
cination. Slate writing, turning
i water into wine, and wine into
water, the escape from the Rus
sian convict chain, a phenomenal
use of billard balls, and other
tricks which nobody explains
comprise a program with breath
less interest from start to finish.
Mrs. Milburn is a charming lady,
and adds interest to the enter
tainment.
CLOSING DAY ATTRACTIONS
s —-
Dr. D. W. Daniel and The Celberated Lyric ;
Glee Chb.
i
The Lyric Glee Club of Philadelphia.
Four fine fellows and they are
known for th£ir great voices,
clean comedy, and witty wisdom.
To hear them sing "The Old
Churcn Bell" makes one see the
old ivy covered church, and its
tall turret, and the swinging bell.
The notes are so reminiscent that
the past rises before one as a
dream. From "The Old Church
Bell" to "Tipperary," the pro
gram is full of charm. "Fun in
an old fashioned school" is a bit
of comedy which carries the au
dience back to the dear old yes
terdays. Not less interesting is
"'the white minstrels."
The Chautauqua Director-Dr. D.
W. Daniel.
The Chautauqua committee has
been exceedingly fortunate in se
curing as our Chautauqua Direct
or, Dr. D. W. Daniel, the head
of the English Department of
Clemson Collexe, South Carolina.
Dr. Daniel is one of the foremost
educators of the south, and for
seventeen years has been one of
the mo3t valued members of the
faculty of Clemson College, the
great agricultural and mechani
cal college of South Carolina. Dr. '
Daniel is a typical southern gen
tleman, true to all the traditions
and ideals involved in that title.
He is a brilliant orator, cultured,
genial and sffable. He will be in
charge of the Chautauqua during
the entire three days, and on the
closing day will deliver two cf i
his splendid lectures, "The Fight- j
ing Man" and "Dreams". j

talents to work for himself.
