"One of the early Governors of a cer-
tain Western State, writes a crrespond-
ent, was a man of great popularity,
commanding strer rth of character, and
undisputed fitness for the duties of his
office, but entirely without any gift for
public speaking. Shortly after his cleo
tion he paid an official visit to the State
prison, in the course of which he was
ushered into the chapel where the con-
victs were assembled in O body.
"Before the Governor could realize
what was going on, the chaplain had pre-
sented him to the company, with the re-
mark that he would doubtless have some.
thing to say.
"'But, my dear sir, whispered the
startled Governor, i haven't anything to
say, and couldn't say it if 1 had! /
never made speech in my life.'
"The chaplain, who was entirely inno-
cent in the matter, could only reply:
az beg your excellency's pardon for
being so premature, but as have COM
mitted you so decidedly, see no way
out of it, and feel confident that you will
not mind addressing them in a few
words
