i % Intentional Duplicate Exposur _ ABDRESS BY SMITH *."'WILL OPEN BEMIDJI " CHAUTAUOUA COURSE James Hardin Smith, whose ad- dress will open Bemidji’s chautauqua July 416, will provide a-talk; whish will be one of the worth while events of the annual program. James Hardin Smith is a product of the Old South and it is said that Ris platform work is representative of that type of southern oratory which has made Dixie Land famous. His work is said to have the “rythm of Bob Taylor and the punch of Sam Jones.” He comes from a distin- guished family of East Tennessee a family which has contributed much ". to the political and social life of the south. His forbears for generations have been preachers, lawyers and jurists. Along with his inherited love for public speaking and his natural ora- torical powers, James Hardin Smith . has added years of study, travel and work among men. He was educated at Columbia university and Union Sheological seminary. His travels fnclude visits to Greece, Turkey, Egypt and.the Holy Lands. .1t is probable that Mr. Smith’s greatest success has come from his . -mssociation with men. While pastor of .one of New .ork’s leading churches he made himself a social factor in the life of the great city Dby reason of his faculty for social or- ganization. He organized and led a men’s social service organization which numopered more than one thousand members. He has written seyeral ‘interesting books of travel. PUGILISTICWORLD .. AWAITS TITLE BATTLE I (By United Press.) Toledo, July 3.—With the stage 311 set for the Dempsey-Willard battle ,for the world's title tomorrow, shades ,ofa withered past swept over Toledo :today. Riding on the shoulders of old fighters they gathered in the hotel lobbies and other meeting places, where they whispered reminiscences of old battles that were eagerly lis- tened to by a younger generation. "“ There was Jack Dillon—old Bear Gat Jack—who has whipped in his time many a heavyweight who aspired to the throne held by Jess Willard. He’s like an old man as he wanders the streets of Toledo, shak- ing hands with old acquaintances. ck’s legs have gone back on him gnd never again will be he able to rform the feats that made him the greatest fighter of the age, even though his weight usually was far less than that of the men he battled. But none ever will forget the master- ‘ful licking he administered to Frank Moran—a man considered equal to ibe task of whipping champions. "There was Jack McAuliffe—a 200- pound Jack now, Dressed faultlessly, with the lne.\cfi.ahla_._huuonlesre,, a stick in his hapd, Jack appeared to a man ghout town instead of the mous old lightweight, who never ew u defeat and who retired when was still lightweight champion of e world. lMcAuliffe recalled many an old battle as he talked of what he terred to as “the good old days”” “when menfought with-bare knuckles e a finish, and the winner took all the purse. And there was Billy McCarney, a young Billy.in spite of the years that Dave passed oyer his head. Never a t fight in the last fifteen years hat Billy.hasn't seen and had some- thing to do with.

There had been a hint that, serene- faced and cheerful as she was, Miss Radcliffe had sought seclusion because of a disappointment in love. Nobody knew the details—Iit was all rumor and gossip, but it was current that a man she regarded with affectionate devo- tion had married another. Certainly, with her fair, expressive face and win- ning manner, sne was worthy of iater- ested attention, put she in no way en- couraged it and her secret was her own. s Miss Radcliffe was a great lover of animal pets. At the first she kept two beautiful collies, but one was poisoned and the 6ther run over by a wagon. A handsomé high-bred cat was next adopted, but some one stole the animal and Its successor was short-lived. “Well, what do you think?” exclaim- ed a neighbor to the next-door, resi- dent. “Miss Radeliffe has a new pet— a baby ™ : " “For mercy’s sake! Whose?” “Nobody knows. She went away Monday and came back Wednesday with the child—a little girl about two years old.” “Phere’s a myster§ here, and ro- mance,” was darkly suggested; but the gossips got mo further with thelr surmises and curlosity. Miss Rad- cliffe engaged a nurse and the little child became the object of her tender care. Then Miss Radcliffe was report- ed going to a distence on the. train each. week. Finally there was an ex- planation, A visiting relative of a Mrs. Rose happened to see Miss Rad- clifte: the house. “Why, know that lady!” he de- claredy, “She's the one who bought a pla ‘é'liitlea the Hermitage. - A.few. weeks later Mis.Radcliffe, the batiy, nurse and the servants left Grayville for good and took possession of thelr new island home. About a month later the man wno had spoken’ of the Hermitage revisited Grayville. “Well, those Radcliffe folks haye set- tled down at the Hermitage,” he sald, “and/Wf#t as secret.and exclusive a8 ever:" They've taken in a new mem» ber of thé family—a woman.

Later she learned that, the voman he had married had hew(myup frivolous, wagward woman, whem? éxtravagance had driven him to use money placed in his trust. He had heen ptosecuted and sentenced to s term In a penal ingtitution. Kleanot learned .that his wife had become la- sane and thelir little one was left to the eold charity of the world. A mighty impulse had swayed her. She had gone after the child, and then the affiiction of the demented wife, too, appealed to her and she had assumed a new hurden. For over a year Kleanor Radcliffe devoted her life to little Letla and Rex tnvalld mether. Gradually the woman faded away. The only letter Fleanor had ever written to Lee was waliting for him the day he was released froin prison. It bade him come to “f¥iends at the Hermitege.” He was electrifiéd ‘whien he was shown into the presence of his first love. His head hent low, his tears fell as he listened o the plain, clear story of all -that Efeanot had done for him and his wife and child. He was too broken down te speak. Oh; how she must have loved| him. Suddenly the nurse entered the room. “Miss Radcliffe,” she spoke, in her trained, subdved way. “Mrs. Lee has passed away.” To his dead wife and his child El- eanor left the crushed husband and father.////{She removed to the town hotel. ‘Thither at the end of the week came Warren Lee. He was like a be- ing dumbed by a conception of the service of this peerless being. “You are to have the Hermitage for vour own and for little Lella,” she told him. “Until you are strong enough agtin to face the world, you must al- low me to be your friend.” “And you?” he quavered. “Will be happy In knowing that you will nobly redeem the past. I shall go back to my lonely life, regret- ting little Lella, but oh! infinitely glad that 1 have helped you and yours.” He sought her out six months later.
