FACTS FOR WAREHOUSES;.

a Few Suggestions for Those DESTROYS OF
Acquiring the Art.
Here are q few practical hints as to
the modes of procedure to be followed
by would be ventriloquists, although
half dozen lessons from a good pro-
fessional would do infinitely more for
them than all the books that have been
written upon the subject, and which,
by the way, are usually mass of the
oretical phraseology.
Before any attempt is made with the
voice, the student must be prepared to
devote some time and attention to the
breath, which he must get entirely
under coNtrol, so rs to be able to hold It
for O considerable time without strain
ing. This, of course, must be a gradual
process
Before commencing to practice, q
strong inspiration should be taken, as
the lungs require to be furnished with
plentiful supply of air, which has to
be well controlled and allowed to es-
cape gradually. He must endeavor to
breathe through his nose and keep his
mouth shut. This is a hint which It
would be as we'll for every one to re-
member, and so save a great deal Of
cold catching and illness.
The learner must study at all times
to initiate sounds, not as they are
heard at their source, but as they fall
upon the ear after travelling from a
distance. That is the golden rule OF
ventriloquism, and if it is continually
kept In mind success is certain. AS
conjurers endeavor to deceive the eye,
so ventriloquists endeavor to deceive
the ear.
The distant voice" originates ut that
spot in the throat where the ''clucl
takes place when drinking, so, without
any facial contortions or movement OF
the lips, the words must be forced
against the back part of the palate one
by one, with series of short, quick
breaths, atthe same time strengthening
the sounds by using the muscles of the
stomach, which will give them increased
power, so that they will reach the
audience clear and distinct. The farther
off the sound is supposed to be, the
smaller the quantity of breath must be
expired
The great fault with beginners Il
straining after effect. No sooner dc
they make little Roadway and begin
to feel their feet than they want tc
run, a proceeding which will bring
their endeavors to dismal failure. -

lcoPYRIGHT, 1911


When Col. Joe Prescott was editor
and proprietor Of the Eastboro CMass.)
Globe, that influential journal enjoyed
q reputation for unveracity and misrep-
resentation such as no newspaper on
earth had ever deserved before. There
was a tradition that truthful state
ment had once crept into the Globe,
and that the colonel had editorially
apologized for It the next morning on
the plea that It was typographical
error.
remember that the date line on the
Globe got "pied" one day so that it read
May 81, 21s3, and people who were
familiar with the sheet said that it was
hundred years nearer the truth than
anything else in that issue. I was rum
ming for the state senate from the dis
trict in which Eastboro was situated, in
1888, and the Globe was against me. It
always was against every good man.
However It did not hurt me much.
Nearly all the allegations made against
me by the opposition were true, and the
Globe wouldn't print the truth under
any provocation, SO it said very little
about me, and hammered away at other
men on the ticket who had characters
which were susceptible of being mis-
represented to their detriment.
In the heat Of the canvass, met the
colonel on the street in Eastboro, one
day, and he expressed desire to get a
statement of my views for the Globe.
This was embarrassing. In the first
place, hadn't any views, and in the
second place, knew that It wouldn't
make any difference what really said,
for tho colonel would write the inter
view to suit himself, filling 1t with
abuse of my friends, and support of
every pernicious doctrine he could in
vent.
At the same time, didn't like to
anger the colonel. He was a man who
regarded a libel suit as compliment,

Colonel" said I, twill you give me
your word that shall not be misrepre-
sented?"
''Mr. Fielding" he replied impressive
ly, 81 swear it."
Globe was evidently cunning for me.
When the colonel was in doubt he al
ways gave his word, but he never
swore to anything unless he knew for
certain that it was lie. In those cir
cumstances it became necessary to take
extreme measures.
ST will give you a statement of my
views" said I. ''if you will get some

agreed to wait for him. Before the
hour was out he returned, accompanied
by Judge Silas Spencer, the most re-
spected citizen of Eastboro'. What pull
the colonel had with Spencer do moi
know but I have distrusted the Judge
since that day. However, he agreed to
see that the colonel complied with the
conditions of the agreement and so
had no choice but to proceed. I then
gave utterance to certain wise, moder.

to myself and other less important mat

the latter was too wary to indorse one

it out in his paper, gradually working
his mendacious description of my con-
duct up to point of frenzy, where
was pictured as walking the floor and

through Eastboro did my best to an
