THE CBAUTAUOUA HERE THE LAT TEE PART OF JURE WILL BE A BRILLIANT AFFAIR. Johnston is to have a Chautau qua the coming June. This is glac news to the people of this prosper ous and growing city, who place th< things that minister to the social mental and moral phase of our com munity life above the selfish greec ot mere commercialism. For this splendid enterprise we are indebtec to the public-spirited citizens whe have taken the initiated snd secured the interesting and attractive program. It is now the duty of the intelligent citizenship of this city and community, who justly appreciate the fact that there are some things in life better than mere dollars and miii imi t i - win ii ?mmm 2 cents, things which tend to elevate and uplift, to move without delay to ^ the support of this 'movement, p We must co-operate with the executive committee and let us do it ? unselfishly and ungrudgingly. A _ Chautauqua enterprise is not a money-making scheme; it should not be W dragged to the low and sordid plane of commercialism. Of course, we want to break even and we can do it by a small investment that not only r' brings present profit but will yield ? an annual compound interest in a >n higher, nobler and more intelligent Tuof f Viw*?ivuaui^/, UOI IU Ilicilliuil a lew '? of the good things: ! >e There is the Alkahest Band and - Orchestra, a select combination of artists and soloists, which makes the 10 finest Chautauqua musical attractijn JJ ever offered in the South. It is com8. posed of ten people and was specially organized for this class of enjr gagements. It is equipped with brass instruments for street concerts and full orchestra for stage music. _ It has been engaged for the week. Then, there is the Ottcrbein Male * Quartet, one of the finest quartet ag:S gregations ever brought South, which has also been engaged for the entire Chautauqua. Then, there is is the inimitable Bob Taylor, who ^ stands in a class all to himself and who needs no words of comment for everybody knows him. Dr. Sears, one of the most popur ular and successful lecturers on the in- platform has been engaged for two |er lectures and Sid Landon who stands ] without a superior, if indeed he has a rival, as an impersonator, has been secured for two entertainments. Then, there is Walden, the ma:h gician, and the information comes of from those who know that he is the n_ greatest master of the magic art on the lyceum stage. es ?- THE LADY IN THE AUTO It - 3r Miss Mary King, equipped for an automobile riilo, stood at a front winilitu; utnlti.1 ? nmuiifi. oue was a country 2- girl with the glow of health on her checks who had come 10 the city the day before and stopped In one of a ; Q ' row of stone front houses, but she s that family. She had never ridden 1 ( in an automobile. Tom was to call i for her at 10 o'clock and at 10:30 he I ] r- had not arrived. Mary was growing i impatient. 1 Suddenly a beautiful machine turn- ( :f ed a corner, came up the street and i ^ stopped in front of the house. In it was Cousin Tom?who else could it r- be??a handsome young fellow, who got out and was about to mount the re steps when he looked up at the nuui1 her above the door, then turned to the next house. Mary, naturally ase~ sunning that he was making a misly take, rushed to the door to call him. i Too late; he had disappeared. S" No matter. He would discover his i ;n mistake and return. She would wait ] fov him on the stoop. She stood ] e~ there a few minutes admiring the < IS beautiful spick and span dark green i machine with its polished bruss t *s mountings. It looked so pretty that t \- I she thought she would go down to | i it. When she got there a step in- l j to it was so easy and the cushioned f te scat so tempting that she got in and 1 | sat down. ? ie | Now. the gentleman who had gone p e in next door was not Cousin Tom at 1 ,.11 !?.? " " , ..... ..in nui i y craven, one or those & j graceless scamps who was not likely t 1 to throw an adventure over his ? shoulder. From the window of his r n club?he had called to replenish his a l_ cigar case?he was surprised to see d a pretty girl sitting in his machine s n with as much composure as if she ? r_ owned it. He was going for a spin and wished she would stay there. e On seeing hint approach the lady smiled, put out her hand and said: "Why, Cousin Tom, what has inane e you so late?" i "J.ate?" 1; "Yes. And why did you go into g 36? I wrote you to come to 38." c "Well, now! Upon my word. Sixes a and eights are much alike. Hut this ^ is no way for cousins to greet one e another." And the rascal bent for- e ward and kissed her through her n veil. Then he took his seat beside t his newly found cousin. d Now commenced a sparring on the a , part of the cousinless Mr. Craven to | s * prevent detection. He skillfully s - avoided committing himself on any- ' ti g thing till he had learned something t< al>out it from the lady. He gathered n * that he was expected to take her to ti " his father's residence in the suburbs, w 1 It so happened that his own father 5 lived in the suburbs, and his mother u and sisters and himself as well. He C( , turned his course homeward. ,j > Just before luncheon Mis.

"Here conie.i .n..> sunie one and I look a fright." "Good gracious!" exclaimed Mrs Craven. "And we've nothing bin scraps from yesterday's dinner foi lunch." "Mother," cried Harry as he rounded the machine ui> to the porch "you've forced ine to make a guy ol myself by not keeping nie posted Here's Cousin Mary come to visit us, and if it hadn't been tHat she's staving next door to the club i would have missed her entirely." lid the same with the others. She ivas appalled at the coldness of her reception and whs wondering what to do next when Harry tipped his favorite sister the wink and suggested that their cousin he taken upstairs "to brush off the dust." While they were going Harry made a confession to his mother. After a sound rating she agreed with him that the poor girl must be extricated from her harrowing position. When Mary reappeared she was made heartily welcome. That afternoon llarry went about telling all their friends that a cousin was visit inj.' them and arranged for a series Df entertainments. He kept Mary much of the time out with him in bis automobile and devoted himself ixelusively to her. l$ut whenever his mother proposed to bring the comedy .0 a close he put her off. it was not ill he saw a notice in the newspapers of the disappearance of Mar\ King and the terrible anxiety of her amity and friends that he came to lis senses and begged his mot;ur to irealc tlio matter to the kidnaped ;irl and beg her to be merciful to itm. Now all this was accomplished and he matter bushed up never got out. >ealed lips for once prevented the enorters from getting at the truth, ind Harry finally atoned for bis inliscretion by making the girl he bad plrited away a model husband.? iilvia Lewis Baldwin.
