Advice for Speakers.

One Of the common mistakes made by
the tyrO in public speaking is that Of ex-
hausting his subject and his audience at
the same time. BY too great discursive-
ness the pith of the subject is lost, and
what might have been a victory is turned
into signal defeat. To save such dis
Rster one should think carefully upon
any subject before attempting TO talk
upon it, and in the thinking keep strict
ly to the salient points and the simplest
possible form Of giving them express
sion.
Only the born orator, the genius, may
safely venture into the flower garden of
speech and indulge in glowing and
highly colored perorations. To the or
binary speaker close attention 10 facts
and simple statement in well chosen and
convincing language are the safest and
surest means of winning golden opinions
for self and success for ones cause If

LARGE MEN On PARADE.
A PROCESSION OF GIANTS IN A
PAGEANT AT BRUSSELS.

An Interesting Description of q Very
Amusing Spectacle Illustrative of Pop
ular Legends in Belgium - Genuine
Mountains of Flesh in Costumes
For weeks the foreign readers of
Brussels newspapers must have been
puzzled by meeting with paragraphs
such as "Antigon and his wife Pallas
have arrived and taken up their quarters
at the town stores" for Goliath, his
wife. and their son are expected tonight,
and will lodge at the Communal school,
No. 9, and the like. The fact is that a
general meeting of the giants and other
representatives of popular legends Of all
the towns of Belgium had been arranged
as one of the principal features of the
great national fetes. and it was certainly
not the least interesting feature of them.
We had the privilege of seeing them all.

down TO the smallest-walk together in
cortege such as was never seen before,
and which will not be soon forgotten TO
those who witnessed il.
The origin OF the giants dates, or
course, from very remote times, and the
quaintest legends are attached TO them.
Considerable expense and trouble have
bean incurred TO dress them we'll for the
solemnity, and they looked, indeed, very
neat and smart. Numerous musical
bands were interspersed among the
cortege, which was ushered in by gen.
darmes on horseback, and opened with
the group of St Michael, the patron
saint of Brussels, on horseback, followed
by the dragon, conducted by maidens.
The historical carriage of the Amman Of
Brussels, with an escort Of horsemen,
preceded a whole family of newly Gre
sted giants-the giants Of the future.

soned horses, the relatives Of the small
giants and the elastic giants.

The Montana Bar Association not Embar
raised by Absentees.
At the animal meeting of the Montana
Bar association last evening in the supreme
court room, Secretary Nelson called the roll
and 13b members did not respond to their
names. The constitution of the oreaniza-
ton provides that the members present at
any meeting shall constitute a quorum. So
Secretary A. II. Nielsen and Treasurer j. 8.
Miller were the quorum, which
later on was increased by the
presence of County Attorney No
Ian, who was Immediately called to the
chair to preside in the absence of President
I. D. McCutcheon.
The t%reasurer's report stated that there
were 1886 in the treasury, and a committe,
was at once appointed to see that the
treasurer does not leave the state before
the election of his successor, who should
have been chosen last night. The chair
man also placed Mr.. Miller on the commit
tee.
Col. McCutcheon was to have delivered
his annual address and it was the date
fixed for the election of a number of Off
GERS. The quorum of three dispensed with
all these tedious matters, however. Score
tary Nelson called on the county attorney
Nolan in his usual eloquent manner. As j,
treated purely upon legal topics in which
laymen are not supposed to be interested
it is not printed. At its conclusion two
thirds of the quornm furnished the ap
plause.

members Of the association responded TO
tho call, but only FIVE Of the directory were
present. Not having q quorum Of the d.
rectors no business was transacted, much TO
the disappointment Of those present, a.
business Of Importance was before the
meeting. II WAS to take s0me action on The
Judgment held ON the property Of the asso-
citation by Smith d Co., plumbers. II APP
pears that the firm laid water pipes through
ont the grounds. This work cost &8o0. II
WAS mot paid for and = mechanics lien was
placed upon the property for that amount.
Judgment was rendered In favor Of the
plumbers and the sheriff was ordered to sell
the property on Jan. 8. to satisfy the judz-
ment and interest, which have reached the
SUN Of $3.50 or more. II was the intention
to avoid the sale, but very little interest
seems to be taken in the matter. The sale
will cake place before another meeting can
be legally called. A ten days notice will be
issued. however, for a special meeting,
when it is hoped all the directors will be
present to arrange for some plan by which
the property can be redeemed and stop the
steadily accruing interest. The association
will have six months in which to redeem
the prOperty.
