Couldn't Leave Bloomsburg.
The absorbing power of literature
was demonstrated yesterday atE-st
Bloomsburg. A lady from Lewis
town rode over in the bus to take a
south bound train. While waiting,
she remained in the station reading
a magazine.
Hearing a train roll up to the
station, she glanced through the
station window into the mirror in
the bus, which was standing out
side, and saw an apparently north
bouud train arrive. She knew that
two trains were due near the same
time, so she placidly continued her
reading. A few minutes later the
noise of a train again interrupted
her perusal of a most interesting
story, aud glancing for the second
time into the mirror, she saw a train
come in from the opposite direction
to the first on. .Stepping out of
the station onto the platform to
board the car, she was astonished
to find the eugiue headed toward
a different point of the compass
from that whither it had appeared
to be bound in the mirror. Iu
quiry revealed that her train had
left some minutes before.
As she rode back to Bloomsburg
iu the bus, ihe firmly resolved
never again to read magazines nor
trust to mirrors while waiting for
a train.

INSTITUTE LECTURE COURSE.
We are pleased to announce that
the course of lectures and entertain
ments provided for the Teachers'
Institute to be held here next week
is in every respect in keeping with
the high standard established by
our previous courses.
On Monday night the Chicago
Glee Club will give the concert.
This company will be remembered
by many ashawng given one of
the best concerts ever presented
here, eight years ago. The reper
toire of the club comprises the best
of all types of part-song music, and
its programs of male quartets,
trombone qu rtets, characteriza
tions, vocal and horn solos, present
much variety and merit to please
every auditor.
A rare treat is in store on Tues
day evening for those who enjoy a
first class lecture. Dr. Driver has
been characterized as a Jehu, who
drives ix good horses. The lead
ers are Grace and Diction; the
swing horses are Pathos aud Hu
mor; the wheelers are Eloquence
and Power. Fly in his whirling
and elittcrine chariot as I have
done and you will be delighted
Driver is apt, alert, eloquent, and
a royal fellow. His subject is
"America Facing the East."
The entertainment for Wednes
day evening will be given by the
master, the "Master American Car
toonist," Alton Packard. His lec
ture "Types of Uncle Sam's Folks"
is a humorous presntation in sketch
caricature, impersonation aud de
scription of the varions types of
American character of today and
yesterday, with much ridicule and
caustic comment on the vanities,
follies and vices of Uncle Sam's
Folks, and accompanied with char
acteristic, original songs of Mr.
Packard's own composition This
program has proven a great favorite
with Lyceum audiences for the past
ten years.
The concluding number will be
a lecture by the lion. Thomas P.
Gore, who is known as the "Blind
Man Eloquent." He is the first
Senator from tli3 new State of Ok
lahonia and a brilliant orator. His
recent speech at the Denver con
vention, the speech which caused
the sixty-four minute Bryan dem
onstration, has brought him even
stronger into the limelight. For a
blind man to make a successful can
vass of any state proves rare gifts
and a strong personality, but to
win out iu Oklahoma, in that most
hotly contested race, places him in
the first rank as a man of sterling
character and brilliant attainments.
His subject is "Social Duty."
Notwithstanding the iucreased
expense of this course, the price of
admission is the same; $1.50 for
the course, 50 cents each for the
lectures and 75 cents each for the
other numbers. The board will open
at Bidleman's store Friday morn
ing, November 26th.

and among the special features are
"The Temperance Quartette,"
"The Country Orchestra," and
"The Village Choir." The play is
full of humor, intermingled with
pathos, and is something after the
style of the "Old Homestead."
