"Something you found on your

eyes, on my farm. It hain't as
big nor as high as a pyramid, of
course, but it's more of a curiosity.
I've showed it to twenty different fell
lers, and none of 'em ever saw any
thing like it. l wouldn't take two
dollars fur it jest as it stands"
"Perhaps you have discovered some
relic of the stone age or drift
period ?"
"Shouldn't a bit wonder. I'm
willin' to show it to you, but don't
want no foolin' about it. I don't
want you to bend or break it."
''No, of course not"
The old man opened the box and
took from mass of cotton the bowl
of teaspoon. The professor re-
ceived it, turned it over and over and
finally said:
"This isn't much of relic"
"Hain't it?" chuckled the owner.
"Mebbe you'll change your mind
afore we git through talkin'?''
"But it's only the bowl of tea
spoon"
''In the back yard perhaps"
'Not much Gentlemen, you kin
talk about your old pyramids of
Egypt, but thar is sumthin' that

out of cows stomach!'
Nobody expressed the slightest
surprise. Nobody cared to handle
the relic. We began talking about
something else while he restored it
to the cotton and the box. When he
finally dropped the box into his
overcoat pocket, he rose up and stf1y
said
"Gentlemen, excuse me. see I
hain't wanted here. | see that you'd
druther go over to Egypt and see a
burned old pyramid and come home
and lie about it than to stick up fur

FAMOUS ORATORS.
1t is Held that Great Speakers Must
be Great Readers.

1t is Held that Great Speakers Must
be Great Readers.
Prof. Brainard G. Smith, in St. Louis Republic.
It would be easy to show that the
secret of the oratorical power of the
great orators of the past did not lie
in any peculiar style of speech, of
diction, common to all, any more
than IN their physical perfection as
men; nor in a particular choice of
subjects common to all.
What did each have, then, that
made him an orator? Was there
any common quality?
| think that there was.
To say that it was the ''oratorlcal
instinct" is not to throw much light
on the subject. To say that each
has something worth saying, and
therefore was an orator, would not
be true, for l shall show-or try to
show-that 1t is not enough to have
something worth saying.
To say that the occasion inspired
tba speaker, and THAT he therefore
became for the time being an orator,
would not be true.
But is it not true that if we ex-
anne their printed speeches we see
that the diction is oratorical? That
the words are evidently spoken to
men, not written at men? That the

since Cicero went through SO much
real drudgery in preparing himself
for public life and public speaking.
And yet he was genius, andG ma
ture had done so much for hun that
he might be thought excusable had
he relied more upon natures gifts
and less upon his own acquisitions.
But it was those acquisitions,
added to natures gifts, which made
him the most powerful orator of
modern times.
Edmund Burke, called "the great
philosophical orator of our language"
was denied many gifts by nature.
But he became one of the very
greatest orators who spoke the En-
glish language. Like Chatham, he
mastered the great writers of an
tiquity, and made particular study
of Demosthenes, though in later life
he gave more study to Cicero. He
knew Plutarch, Horace, Virgil and
Lucretius almost by heart; he pored
over the writings of Bacon; Shake
speare was his daily study, and Mil
ton was constant inspiration.
Charles James Fox studied the
orations of Demosthenes and the
speeches of Chatham. AS an orator
1t is said that he gained his taste,
style and reasoning from his study
of the Greek writer's.
William Pitt, the younger, had
the finest part of Shakespeare by
heart, read the best historians with
care, studied Barrow's sermons, as
his father did before him, and read
the Bible carefully as the "true we'll
of English underlined"
Patrick Henry has been often
cited as an example of the "natural
orator without any training what
ever" and yet Patrick Henry read
carefully Greek and Roman history !;
was particularly fascinated by Livy,
which, in the English translation, he
read through once every year during
the early part of his life. That he
was a careful reader of the Bible
is proved by a study of his style,
which was Enthusiastically influenced
by the diction of the Holy Scrip
lures.
Of Rufus Choate, one of the IA
nous American orators, Mathews
says: "Choate drank deep at the
fountains, not only of science and his
tory, but of philosophy and bellies
lettres, to increase his command of
language, his copia verborum; and
to avoid sinking into cheap and bald
fiuency,. as well as to give elevation,
energy, sonorousness and refinement
to his vocabulary, he read aloud
daily, during a large part of his life,
a page or more from some fine En-
glish author. He was a profound
student Of words, and made all the
realms of literature tributary to his
vocabulary"
And Choate himself, of reading,
said this: "In literature you find
ideas. There one should daily re-
plenish his stock. The whole range
of polite literature should be vexed
for thought" And again he said
Cali the discipline and customs of
social life, in our time, tend to crush
emotion and feeling, Literature alone
is brimful of feeling"

HE GOT THE MONEY
He Was Not a Collector,
but He Collected.
HOW HE WORKED THE TRICK
Merchants SwindIed by Clever
Rogue Who Pretended to BE
What He Was Not.

Three of San Francisco's prominent
wholesale firms have learned that exper-
fence is a dear teacher. and two more have
learned cheap lesson, which came very
near resulting disastrously and extensively.
Last Monday, the 18th of the month, was
collection day and the merchants sent out
their collectors as usual. Getz Brothers OF
200 and 2l1 Market street being among the
number.
Their collector was astonished at five
of the places where he presente d his bills
to be informed that they had already
been paid. These places were Is. Nj. Atcn-
insOn Il Co., Center Market; Ronlfts ~
Gerdan. Mission street; Martin, Feusier d
Co. $40 Clay street; Brigham. Hoppe * 20,
100 California, and Hooper x Jennings. 2lS
Front street. Subsequent inquiry brought
out the facts that young man had called
at these places and collected the money due,
receipting the bills for Gelz Brothers q Co.,
and signing his own name as Black Id one
place. Blake in two others and different
names at the other two places.
A each OF the places he was asked the
amount of the bill and had given the correct
sun and received the money. he called
first, at about 9o'cloek in the morning, at
b. NJ Atkinson 81 Co.'s stall in the Center
Market, and received a check for SCI 6S. lie
then went to the firm OF Martin, Feusler ~
CO., on Clay street, and signed receipt Tor

cashier who paid him says that the bogus
collector came in aud mumbed the name
of the firm for whom he was collecting
The cashier asked him again whose money
he wanted, and ha answered SO that he
could be heard. The cashier then asked
HIM the amount of the bill, and the correct
answer threw him off his guard, and he
paid the money.
The firms collector, Henry Costa, who
was also IN the office, getting ready himself
to 60 out collecting, says that he noticed the
man particularly because he came so early,
and he can identify him in court.
Hooper * Jennings were his next victims.
whom he attempted 10 fleece out OF $50 40.
They are not at any loss, however, as they
Immediately stopped payment on the
check with which they had paid him.
The b0okkeeper at Brigham, Hoppe
Co.'s gave him S23 so. and MI Gerdan of
the firm of RohIffs q Gerdan paid MIN S24.
The last-named gentleman says that he
could identify the bogus collector, and that.
although he is out S24, he would willingly
give $50 more toward prosecuting him.
The descriptions of the man do not agree
very well. but the following seems to be
about right: Height about feet inches.
light complexion, very faint traces of
blonde mustache, looks TO be about 20 years
of age and wore a soft hat, creased In the
middle. and light-brown Overcoat
