ORATOR WELL NAMED

James S. Corkey Often Called “Corker from Cork.” t Droll Humor Makes Lecturer a FaWIte With Audiences —la a True Irishman. Anyone who has heard James Sloane Corkey, would have no trouble in guessing his nationality. He is Irish to the core, and when he begins to speak one may expect to hear the wit, humor, pathos and common senes so natural to a son of Erin. Leaving his Irish home at sixteen, Mr. Corkey came to the Land of the

Free, and after a hard struggle, success smiled on his efforts. Today he is a highly respected minister, president of the lowa Sunday School Association. His father and six brothers besides himself are all Presbyterian ministers —six in Ireland and two in the United States. Recently Mr. Corkey made a trip to the “ould sod” securing many of the finest views of the beautiful lake country, aften called "one of choicest Jewels.” These are used in his Illustrated lectures, which he will give at the coming Chautauqua.
