Great orators are almost invariably
nervous with apprehension when about
to make IN important speech. Luther,
to his last years, trem5led when he en-
tered the pulpit; tho same Is true Of
Robert Hall. Mr.. Cough oonfesses
that he Is always In stremor when COM
ing before IN andience. Many of the
leaders of the House Of Commons have
given similar testimony. Canning said
he eeuld always tell in advance when no
was about TO make one of his best
speeches BY chill running through him,
caused BY 8 fear Of failure: Lord
Derby, father Of the present Earl,
when . young man, Was one Of tho
best speakers In Parliament. He Was
known ~ the "Prince Rupert of de-
bate, and seemed 20 self possessed -
10 be incapable of embarrassment. But
ho said: when I am going to speak,
my throat and lips are As dry - those
of . man who is going to be hanged"
He also told tho late Sir A. Allison that
''he never rose to speak, even in IN
afternoon dinner assembly without OK
periencing . certain degree Of nervous
tremor, which did not 60 off till he
warmed to the subject"
It is recorded of Cicero that he
shuddered visibly over his whole
body When hs first began to speak"
IN the Lite of Lord Lyndhurst," by
Sir Theodore Martin, Ne are told
that he did not prepare his
speeches. "Though like al great ora
tors, he never rose to speak without ner-
vous emotion, this is no way interfered
with his power Of thinking - he spoke.
and calling into play the 6ttest lam
guags to express what he thought. Tho
intensity with which his intellect worked
became contagious. He got his hear
ers minds within his grasp, he made
them think with him, see things with
the same clearness he himself saw them,
and 80 led them insenslbly up TO his
own conclusions" T1erney, Won
Lord Macaulay calls one of the most
fluent debaters ever known, said
he never rose in Parliament with
out feeling his knees knock to-
getler. It is one Of the compensa-
tions of nature that the nervous tenn
permanent which occasions the trembling
is also one ol the causes of oratorical
success. In fact, it may almost be said
that no ono can be . great orator, or .
really effective speaker, who does not
experience the feeling.

It is doubtless more than . mere coin
cidence that on the eve of the meeting
of the three emperors with their chan
cellors the Militar Wochenblatt by i'm
perial command published the text of
the autograph missive which accom-
panied the order Pour lie Merite, lately
conferred by the emperor on Prince
Bismarck. This missive was penned ON
the anniversary of the battle (not tho
capitulation) of Sedan, and is as fol.
lows:
"To-day's anniversary, which recalls
one of the most prominent events in the
period of twenty-five years during
which wc have worked together Bis
marck became Prussian minister. presi-
dent in 1867, also reminds me that ON
this day, as we'll as during two wars,
You stood by my side, not only As q
highly-approved man of counsel, but
also as = soldier, and that there is IN
Prussia an order for merit which YOU
do not yet possess. It is true this or
der has . special military meaning, but
nevertheless you ought to have had it
long ago, for truly at many . grievous
time you have shown the highest courage
of the soldier, and you have also thor
oughly and completely proved 1T my
side in two campaigns that, apart from
everything else, you have the fullest
claim to conspicuous military distinc-
ton. I will therefore make up for
what have hitherto neglected BY con-
ferring on you the accompanying order.
Pour le Merite, and that too with oaken
leaves in token that you ought to have
had it long ago, and that you have re-
peatedly deserved it. knowing a I
do how much you are imbued with tho
spirit Of soldier, I hope it will CRAFTY
you to receive this order, which several
OF your ancestors proudly wore, ~ for
my part derive satisfaction from thus
bestowine this well-merited reward a.

gracious providence has placed at nv

Cost Of Guns and Canning.


"What does shooting outfit cost p"
II can sell you m excellent plain,
steel double-barreled breech-loader for
SIS. Here is one. It looks we'll, but
it has no gliding or ivory about it. It.
is ton bore, and will last you Is long
rs gun costing 1915, and there Is
great comfort in the fact that if you m
jure it, lose it in swamp, or leave it
out all night in leaky wood shed,
there will not be much loss involved in
tho transaction"
"How about ammunition
"Thst comes little expensive, but
still the sportsman who hasn't much
money can have good time on . small
sum. Loaded cartridges that would
be suitable for this $l5 gun cost from
$3.50 to 81 q hundred, according to the
grade of powder. It would he a poor
sportsman who couldn't get 81 worth of
birds out of 100 shots, so the ammuni-
ton part of it ought to be at least self
| supporting. For $3.50 q set of tools
for reloading the shells can be got, and
by using it they can be refilled at $2.75
to So a hundred"
"Are breech-loaders the only kind of
guns sold?'
"Not by any means. Lots of grang-
ers aud backwoodsmen won't have any,
thing to do with so new-far gled an
idea. They stick to the muzzle-loader,
with its dozen different kinds of perils."
"What is the safest kind of gum"
The hammerless breech-loader 1t
is superseding everything. There are,
of course, many different kinds, but the
principle is the same. There is no ham
mer projecting from the gun and, con-
sequently, no risk of it being caught In
your coat or in bramble and causing
premature discharge. The triggers are
protected too, for there is sort of
brake which you apply when you're aot;
going to shoot. Guns like that, hand
somely mounted, cost from 1925 up.
They save time and trouble, for they
are self cooking. Winchester rifles are
as low as $1S.75 and as high as you
choose to pay. Remingtons are from
$40 up, Billiards. the same price and
Frank NELSON'S from $25. They are
used in this part of the country for
small game.
"They are making more ammunition
in this country than they did. That big
show case over there is q display Of
Eleys, the London cartridge manufac-
turer, which was shown at the centen-
NAL. At that time American cartridge
es were not equal to what they are now.

glish wads and caps still prevail, how
