AUDIENCE WAS VERY LARGE Penman Give Homely Talk. Holdinj Hi Httren Spellbound For Two Hour. Relate Pathetic Story of Lt W Forjef Drawing. For nearly two houra last night the largest audience that ever gathered in tlii city sat at Fisher' and eagerly listened to every word that fell from tbe lip of Silverton'a contribution to art the most famous cartoonint of the world, Homer Davenport There wa not an empty seat in the house, and all of Astoria's best people were there. It doesn't happen very often that the en tire best set turns out, so, although Davenport may not have perceived it the circumstance wa a tribute to bim. such a never before had been paid to any other person who sought to enter tain an audience in this community. Hon. John IL Smith introduced Daven port to hi audience, and the affair took on an informal aspect that made it all the more enjoyable. They say that Judge A. S. Bennett of The Dalles, Oregon, is the greatest jury lawyer on the coast, and one of the greatest in the United States. That's why he defended Senator Mitchell. When Judge Bennett speaks hi voice engulfs you. It is a great, large voice, plain tive 3nd aincere, and everything he say goes straight to your heart and impress es you. His rhetoric is not perfect and many of his expressions are of the homely aort not that the Judge does't know better, but because he knowa how to touch your heartstrings. Davenport' voice is not so big as Ben nett's, but it u very much the same. It puta you right up against the speak er and makes you like him and want him to like you. After he has talked with you, or at you, for a few moments you aeem to feel that you have known bim ever so long, and unconsciously you turn to .the man beside you and urge him to listen carefully to everything tbat'a said for, of course, you've known Davenport for a long time and know jut exactly what he'a going to say and bow he will say it! Thus, Davenport geta a hold on you that you're anxious for him to retain. He "hyp" you with his gentleness and delight you with bis unmistakable humor. He make you feel at home, and the entire absence of loftiness that restraint which unfortunately character Izes too many renowned men stamps him your particular friend. It's just as easy to know him as to roll off the pro verbial log. Davenport call his entertainment a lecture, but It isn't. It'a only a con Mentis 1 little talk, it is couched in very attractive English, but it lacka the oratorical "flights" about whjch you read in the papers. He doesn't shout, nor doea he whisper; he strikes a mod- eately low tone and sticks to it His stories are well selected and invariably concern public men and public events with which everyone ia familiar. However paradoxical it may appear. there ia a aort of humor pathos to many of Davenport's stories. Last night he told a Dewey atory that proved to be a peculiar combination of humor and pa thoa. The narrative ia of interest for historical and patriotic reasons and may here be retold with propriety. When Dewey waa retired the American people presented him with a cottage at Wash ington, and the admiral deeded the home to his wife. Just what was wrong with thia no one aeemed ever to be able to de finitely atate, but just the same a great many persona felt in duty bound to write to Dewey expressing their bitter disapproval of hia action. Indeed, ao oppressive did thia letter-writing become that the Admiral and Mrs. Dewey de termined to leave America and go to Southern France, there to reside. One day Davenport drew a picture for the paper with which he was con nected. It waa entitled "Lest We For get" and wa . illustrative of Dewey's magnificent service to his country and the scant appreciation which some un patriotic one had ahown. It included Uncle Sam In a laudatory pose not the Uncle Sam who had been writing the letters, but the Uncle Sam who loved Dewey for hia good citizenship and waa grateful to him for hia valor in time of war. Davenport had occasion to visit Washington a short time after tne cor- toon appeared, and he waa invited to call at the famous houae.

She added that they had already pack ed their trunks preparatory to the trip to France, but that, since the appear ance of the cartoon, the other Uuele Sara had begun writing lettera and the trip had been abandoned. Briefly, these were the facts. The narrative was decidedly pathetic, but it was so full of humorua sentences that one could not possibly give way to pathos. So it was with the wild goose itjory. Up at Silrerton, long before Davenport had fallen into the habit of drawing a great big check every time he drew a picture, he broke the wing of a wild goose. He took the bird home with him, made a splint and mended the fractured wing. The goose learned to love him and followed him around much as a dog might have done. Homer's father assured him that the goose would some day fly away, but Homer's knowl edge had been more extensive than that of the old gentdeman and he didn't put much stock in the pater's estimate. But one day the goose flew away. Homer felt pretty blue over the less of his friend, but the bustle and confusion of life in the big city of Silver ton soon effaced the memory of the goose, and eventually Homer forgot all about hi pet One afternoon he was out in the barn yard when a flock of geese flew by. One of them left the flock and swooped down into the barnyard, to the utter amazement of Homer. Now, on account of his marksmanship, the folks would not let Homer have a gun on the place but when the gooe displayed sign of staying for awhile Homer yelled for a neighbor, who came with a gun and shot the goose. About this time the elder Davenport happened , along and Homer proceeded to relate to him, with much enthusiasm, that a wild goose had been killed in the yard. Of course when the elder Davenport pointed out to his son that the goose was his old time friend, Homer was heartbroken, and the narrative waa necessarily pa thetic. But . the manner in which the cartoonist quoted hU father' philoa ophical sarcasm took the aorrowful edge off the atory and made it easier to con template the unfortunate circumstance culminating in the demise of the goose. He told another little atory of a wild wood cfiuck that fell in love with a pretty female duck at the Davenport farm in New Jersey, and there waa con- aiderable human nature involved in the Buster BfOWfl StOCKlUSS f trr Boys and Girls ; m 7I r " ' ftl iLvfcP !

There are not very many met in this big world who can take up lowly a subject as a goose or a wood ' chuck and command the breathlea at- 1 tention of an intelligent audience, but Davenport does it, and seemingly with out effort As for the cartoon which he drew U illustrate his subject, they were lea ' j interesting than hia talks.

STAN0VICHES IN TROUBLE Trio Bearing Same Name Hauled inta Justice Court Three men named Stanovich, now' of whom waa related to the other, were; before Justice Goodman yesterday, es tablishing a record not heretofore equal ed in an Oregon court One of the men violated the fishing law, while another had pummeled the third. It wa a bad day for the Stanovichea. Strange to aay, two of the men bear exactly the same name Anton. One of the Anton was arrested yesterday for his failure to display a atate number on hia fishing boat. He pleaded guilty to the charge and waa taxed $10 and costs, in all about $18. He said he-had merely neglected to place the number on hie boat, but that hereafter he would com ply with the law. Another Anton Stanovich was ar rested for assault and battery upon Peter Stanovich. The trial before the justice established the guilt of the sec ond Anton and he was fined $12, which he paid. Real Estate Transfers.
