VICTOR MURDOCH.
the
Victor Murdock is coming to
Chautauqua: This ariivouncciueni
should be of double edged interest to
everyone. In the first place Muidock
is the whip of the Insurgency Move
ment, a political innovation that has
put a crimp in the "let well enough
alono policy of standpatters. He is i
one of t;e three, possibly four . con
spicuous tigures in our national poli
tics, who are really doing something
to give purpose to the burning issues
of the day. Jn the second place, Mr.
..Murdock comes direct from the sev
eral centers of the world war. Those
who are reading his remarkable war
articles in Collier's will reudily un
derstand that what he has to say of
the conflict of the nations will be
pointed. Personal observation has
euuipped him to treat the subject
fairly. His keen, substantiated umtly-
Blowing Flowon.
When itmiitotirs seaU of flowers
"blowing" they are not using a mere
rtilgiirisin. They at speaking real
old English'. In' the' early tongue the
rirb; "Mowari" -us osed to Indicate
the o(pcning of flowers. Instead of
"blow" being n corruption of "bloom"
It Is the other way aliout. "Blossom"
comes from the same root.
We do not grow the coslard apple
nowadays, but our forefathers set
great store by the sort and bought It
eagerly in the streets from the "mon
gers." Kroui coslard monger to costcrmong
pr Is a short step. Hawthorn, too. has
Its Interest. The old form of haw was
hiigft, which mean hedge. Hawthorn
Is therefore simply hedge thorn. lAn
ion Graphic.
sib and conclusion of a situation that
Bppears only us an incomprehensible
chaos to the outsider, Is perhaps the
(sanest contribution on the aspects of
the world war, yet presented to the
American public.
Victor Murdock is the ILiery in
surgent from Kansas, and America's
most eloquent advocate of the inter
ests of the plain people. As a speak
er he has the power and magnetism
of the born leader of men which he
is. Muidock is a big man in a big
way. ilu is a stimulunt. Terse, crisp,
comical, colloquial, earnest, dramatic,
spontaneous in thought and expres
sion, Victor Murdock is a delight and
an inspiration to any audience. You
cannot afford to miss hearing him at
the Chautauqua.
Th Age of Quickness.
The modern wife placed two plates
with kulves. forks, spoons and tum
blers on the dining room table and
took two paper napkins from a drawer,
laying one beside each plate.
Then she lighted (lie gas stove, open
ed a can of soup and placed it hi a
skillet lo bent. Next slie opened two
cans of vegetables and a cuu of salmon
and healed these. She cut six slices
of baker's bread and quartered a
i baker's pie. placing everything on the
; table, together will) butter, salt, pep
