THE POLE COUNTY OBSEBVER, TUESDAY, MAY 26, 1914. CIRICILLO'S CIRICILLO'8 ITALIAN BAND COM ING TO CHAUTAUQUA. This Laud one of the world's really great bands will give two concerts on tbe Chautauqua program here. This means that we will have one of the most notable "baud days" of auy Chautauqua In the country. It will be known as Music day on the Chautauqua program, for the Thavlu Grand Opera Company Is to join with tbe band at night In giving a great music festival. In the after noon Clrlclllo and his men give the en tire program. Tbe members of this band have traveled together for ten years, and that means much to an or ganization of this kind. The band will give a popular concert in tbe evening preceding the "music festival" by the Grand Opera Compa ny. The entire Dana win assist tne Thavlu company In this festival, mak ing It one of tbe biggest music fea tures ever presented on any Chautau qua. All the thousands of dollars that par ents spend upon their children every year in musical education will not ben efit as it should unless the children bave a high musical ideal set before them. This Is what Ch-icillo's great band does. The band has toured the world, playing In all of the important cities of America and in most of the large cities of Europe. It Is probable that many parties from other towns will attend "music day" at tbe Cbautauqua. DR. CHARLES L. 8EASHOLES. A thinker and an orator is this man Seasholes, who is to lecture on "Brains find the Bible" on the last day of the Chautauqua. And he is as full of hu mor as a June day Is of sunshine. He Is blessed with a big voice, and be al ways keeps bis hearers Interested to tbe last Sensholes has known the hard knocks of life. He Is today one of the best educated men on the platform, but this education did not come to him on a silver platter. Not a bit of It. He landed at the university facing a ten years' expensive course, but with $2.10, DR. CHARLES L.

AX Denlnon Dr. Soashoies not only excelled in scholastic affairs In which he took the highest honors, but he vas captain of the gymnasium, and as a rope climber was second only to Tut- tle, the collegiate champion. DR. THOMAS E. GREEN, WORLD FAMOUS ORATOR. Only occasionally does a genuine ora tor come Into the arena of the world's affairs, and when he does he always finds an audience awaiting him, no matter where he may speak. Dr. Thomas E. 3recn Is one of these ora tors. Dr. Green, who is to lecture on our Chautauqua on "The Burden of the Nations," Is literally a world lecturer, for he baa lectured Ip air oat all parts DR. THOMAS ft.

This he does In the famous oration he Is to deliver here. The Fourth American Peace Congress at St. Louis gave him a standing vote of thanks for the lecture, the only tribute paid to any of the speakers. PETER MAC QUEEN, WAR CORRE SPONDENT. Dr. Peter MacQueen, who is to lec ture here on the fifth day of the Chau tauqua, is one of America's greatest war correspondents. He served In Cuba with Colonel Roosevelt's regi ment afterward served lr. the Phllip- MAC QUEEN. pines with General Lawton one of the most famous olficers in the army and still later served as war correspondent attached to Madero's army In Mexico when Mudero ousted President Diaz. His services as war correspondent however, represent only a small part of bis travels. MacQueen has traveled all over the world, spending bis time In odd spots. He was in South Africa before Roose velt went there to hunt. He was in Servla when the king and queen were murdered in fuct, wherever anything of worldwide '-jterest is happening MacQueen seems to be lucky enough to be there. His lecture here will be especially timely, as It will be on the subject "Mexico and South America." He will illustrate the lecture with 1T5 beautiful views. He carries bis own special machine, and an expert operator travels with him. In dealing with Mexico he will tell of the Btrnngeuess of a land ylng at our very doors. The lecture gives a complete description of Mexico today and as It was four centuries ago. FROM PRIZE RING TO PULPIT. "All the world loves a lover." Then all the world must admire a man whom love leads to better things. We pre sent the picture of one such, F. R. Wedge, "the fighting parson of the Barbary coast." Wedge Is to lecture on the third day of the Chautauqua here, and It is doubtful If any man on the program has lived a more exciting, strenuous life than has he. Wedge was forced Into the street at a very tender age to make his living as a newsboy. Soon he found that he must defend Ills rights with his fists, mid thus he received his first training in giving and taking hard blows. He found that he had a natural aptitude as a fighter, for he whipped all the street arabs who jumied on to him. As he grew older he decided to take up fighting as a business. He found a malinger and soon won a name for himself In the prize ring. One victory followed another until he became WEDGE. known from roast to coast as "Kid" Wedge, the welterweight He fonghi sixty battle In the ring and never suf fered defeat. Then Cnpld challenged him, and In a short time "Kid" Wedge was a dif ferent man. Cupid's challenge came on the smile of a charming young lady who waa a college graduate and the daughter of a wealthy phyetdaji. She pointed him to the right path, and Wedge eagerly took np the fight alone the new Unea. Be studied hard, on- PETER F. R. CHAUTAUQUA. tered college, graduated witn nign Hon ors, became converted, entered the ministry, married the girl and, well, all well regulated stories end there, don't they? But we'll tell a little more. Wedge has been fighting as hard for worthy things as he used to In the ring. He did a lot of fine work along "the Barbary coast," as Frisco's red light district is celled, and came to be known as "the fighting parson." He appeals to boys and shows them the right pathway In life. He knows, too. MONUMENTS TO THE POTATO. There Are Sevaral Handsoma Ones In England and Germany. ' Although America is tbe original home of tbe potato, it Is only In Eu rope that monuments bave been erect ed to honor tbe familiar vegetable. Tbere are several such monuments In Germany and England costing large sums of money and presenting the work of famous sculptors. Tbe most elaborate Is that at Offenburg, which honors Sir Francis Drake as the first man to Introduce potatoes Into Europe. The monument consists of an excel lent statue of Drake, rising from an elaborate base " decorated with gar lands of the potato plant, with full grown ' tubers. Several tablets are placed about tbe base stating that Drake first brought tbe potato to Eu rope, with various laudatory Inscrip tions as to the value of the potato to civilization. A similar monument to Drake and the potato has been erected at Murz. As a matter of historic fact, Drake had nothing whatever to do with In troducing the potato to Europe. It Is generally supposed that Sir Walter Ra leigh was the discoverer of the potato. and stories are told of bis appearing on the streets of London wearing a buttonhole bouquet of potato blossoms In order to attract attention to the new vegetable. According to one version, the potatoes were first planted by Drake In Ireland. Tbe fact is that tbe potato was first taken from America by the Spanish long before the exploration of either Drake or Raleigh. Pittsburgh Dis patch. Starvation Diet. ' " I would I were an artist!
