MAN WHO MURDERS THE “BLUES" COMING

Irishman Peddling Comforts of Fun, Good Cheer, Happiness, on Chautauqua Program. PHILOSOPHY, FACT, HUMOR. “A truly cheerful lecture was beard last night by a laughing audience from Mr. Thomas McClary at the Y. M. C. A. The lecturer spoke for two hours on the ministry of mirth and the gospel of cheerfulness and never allowed a dull moment to cloud his uninterrupted flow of humorous yet instructive words,” says the Saskatoon Phoenix. 1914. “The ministry of mirth, said the lecturer, helped to produce good health; beauty aided men and women over the hard places in life and was

the best possible advertisement and business getter. By thinking they were sick, people were doing the very thing to bring on sickness. ’Be cheerful; happiness is a great magnet. People will pay to be made happy, but never a five cent piece will they part with to be made miserable.’ “An atmosphere of friendly good humor radiated from Mr. McClary, and his jokes had a humor all their own in the way they were told. One of the best proofs of insanity is the inability to laugh.” Mr. McClary will appear on the Lincoln Chautauqua program in this city on the first day, afternoon and night His prelude will be played by the University Players, a seven piece orchestra.
