! think of it, strikes me as being So perfectly
absurd that cannot feel very badly
about it,.
That story about my being agent
for Bells telephones. although
terribly incorrect, has as most
stories have a sight foundation of truth.
Some eight years ago when Bell was poor
man friend of mine took him over to
England for The purpose of Introducing his
telephone system / accompanied the
party and was asked % get the newspapers
| tO notice the invention. one night while
sitting in a London theatre the assistant ed
itOT OF the London Times whom had pre-
viously met asked me TO write something
| for the "Thunderer. The idea at once
struck me that ! might help Bell, and
| suggested the subject Of telephones 10 the
editor. That would be the very
thing he said. So wrote a
| two column article Then came
leader and one article followed another
| and Bells invention soon became famous
| Queen Victoria invited our party 10 Osborne
! House and I sang through the telephone
That's all ! had TO do with telephones
DO ! think the lecture field Is less re-
| munerative than il was2 Well IL is not So
good as il was. although IL is improving
| Petroleum Nasty talks about the good old
times and mentions The fact when for fifteen
years he cleared $4,000 year by his lect-
ures The trouble has been the last few
years that there have been SO many different
kinds of entertainments Nearly every
| town and village has )ne or more shows of
| some kind Or another every week. That
| class Of entertainment has cut into the
| higher class 90 the iauers disadvantage
! Then again lecturers have He'd themselves
| tO a great extent Everybodg that could do
little talking must periorce enter the
| lecture field and people who
| could not earn s. per week al any
| thing else have inflicted the public with
| lectures. believing thar il was immaterial
whether they had anything 90 lecture about
or not. A lecture should he either amusing
or instructive do not believe in talking
