As to set speeches of the more oratorical
sort, have tried all methods. Sometimes |
write and then read from manuscript, which
is apt to detract from the interest of the
speech and to impair the sympathetic rela-
tion between the speaker and his audience
Sometimes ! write, commit carefully and re-
peat from memory, which Is the usual and a
wise practice with nearly all speakers Ssme-
times l arrange a line of thought and illus
tration, putting headings on n piece of paper,
or, what is quite as easy, fixing them in my
mind and depending on the moment of speak
ing for the fitting words Sometimes speak
extemporaneously both as to words and to
material

ceeded with each method. l succeeded hand
somely for mel In some of the first speeches
ever attempted, thirty years ago, and have
lamentably failed in recent ones The same
speech, delivered, SO far as could see, in the
same manner, has been at one time and place

am inclined to think, therefore, that the re-
suit depends often largely upon the
atmosphere of the particular occa-
sion reacting upon the speaker.
have found myself pumping hard and
dry before a small, scattered audience
half filling a hall, and hanging back in the
rear Of it, boys playing drum beat on the
floor with their heels, and stragglers lettering
in and out at the doors; and ct another time,
with the same speech, in great hall, before
a mighty audience, where there was upon me
not only the most intense nervous, but the
most intense physical strain, have found
myself sailing, it seemed to me, like ship
under full sail before a fresh breeze have
been indeed led to believe that anything that
tends to physical tension and excitement, like
the effort to fill large hall and to hold the
attention of great audience, is help in
public speaking, and gives tension and ex-
citement to the nervous and mental machin-
cry. There are those who also think it i'm
portant, as a matter Of physical condition, to
refrain from eating before speaking. This
seems to me hardly worth while-John D.

IN WISCONSIN LUMBER REGIONS

Processes of Using Up the Slabs-Glrls
"Edging" Shinsles-Sawing Lath.
We now had seen the logs made into lum-
ber but there remained the interesting pro-
cesses of using up the slabs. AS they came
| along on a sort of roadway furnished with
rollers, q small, powerful circular saw was
drawn through them, cutting them into
lengths for lath; they were then fed through
a tiny gang of saws by boys, and the laths
were made Upon another similar roadway,
logs squared on all sides were travelling
slowly; these were sawed into "shingle
blocks" in much the same way that the lath
blocks were cut. The shingle blocks were
laid ON frame which held two at a time, ad-
justed to the action of a circular saw be-
meath, which dropped the shingles necessarily
to the hands below.
Going down, we came upon four girls
standing before the cataract of shingles,
'edgingn them. They worked seemingly as
fast as they could, and without looking up.
THAT appears heavy labor" l said to Mr..
Brown. 81 don't like to see women in such
place.
"It is hard, but they like it. They'd rather
do it than housework. If want a girl all
have to do is to tell one of these, and therell
be dozen after the place tomorrow"
"They look young, too, many of them"
lney are, ana tnev ougnt 10 De Ia SchOoi;
so ought those little boys up there saving
lath. But the excitement of working in
mill and Of being together in company is
what brings them here. They get 81 day."
Below these girls were the "sorters," who
received higher pay, as it requires more
Judgment to distinguish instantly to what
grade each shiRgle belongs Next these,
the packers" who work by the piece; and
wonderfully deft and accurate they were, as
with rhythmic motion they laid the shin
giles swiftly in the open bale, ready to be
bound and marked.
They were all neatly dressed and looked
very attractive amid such rude surroundings.
As we stood in the door about to leave, the
edgers above began to sing hymn, its diff
fsrent parts all being sustained. 1t was
strangely thrilling to hear these sweet girlish
voices swelling above the distant thunder of
the machinery and displacing the ceaseless
angry screaming Of the saws. 1t was les
son to me to hear these little folks thus light
ening their labor, with song.-G. o. Shields

The LabOrs of the board OF
Freeholders,
The Board of Freeholders met yes
terday at the Council Chambers as a
Committee Of the Whole. On motion
of Mr.. Toberman, Senator Del Vale
was elected Chairman and the follow
ing responded to the roll call Messrs.
Chapman, Brunson, Sinsabaugh,
Cohn, Toberman, Lee, Vickery, Rob-
inson, Mesmer, Moran and Del Vale.
On recommendation of Councilman
Moriarty Mr.. .Cohn moved that section
ITO in Article XI be amended as fol-
lows:
"The Mayor and four citizens to be
appointed by the Council (not more
than two of whom shall be members
Of any one political party, and who
shall serve without. compensation
shall constitute the Board of Fire
Commissioners"
This amendment caused considera-
ole discussion, but it was finally car
ried.
Mr.. Hazard moved to have the last
provision OF Sec. 1888, Art. XVII,
struck out. The provision is as fol-
lows: "That no such main shall be
hereafter laid in said city of less di-
mensions than four inches in diane
ter"
DIR. Sinsabaugh raised an objection
to the motion on the ground that in
ease of fire no pipe smaller than four
inches would conduct water in suffi-
cient quantities.
Mr.. Hazard said his motive was to
provide for outside people-tor in
stance, the Presbyterian College. 1t
was three-quarters of mile from the
main pipe, and had enough money
raised to warrant the laying of two
inch pipe, but with that clause in the
charter they were shut off beyond any
hope. The question was put to vote
and lost.
After correcting several typographi-
cal errors, Judge Brunson moved that
the report of the Revisory Committee,
as amended, be accepted as whole.
The motion was unanimously carried,
and at O'Clock all but Mayor Work
man and DR.. Walter Lindley had
signed the charter.
