out matter is nothing. Matter is the main
thing, it is that which fills the cup, not the
cup itself, but the great orator regards
both. He keeps in mind the substance
and the form. Substance without form is
a rugged rock; with form il is statue.
The great orator is at the same time a
dramatst and an actor"
What would be your advice. colonel.
to one eager to become an orator."
IF he is not a born orator, then all he
can do is to pray to be born again. The
elocutionist is not an orator. Oratory is
not simply an art. though for its complete
exposition 1t requires the mastery of many
arts. The real orator has something to
say, just as the real poet mas a song to
sing, and so strong is his desire to say it
that he becomes the servant of the thought
that urges him on. He loses the conscious
ness oil SELF, loses it in the presence OF the
ideal that possesses him and makes him
for the time It's mouthpiece. No. the field
of oratory increases with the vision as
men climb up, but the master spirits can
not be produced to ORDER"
ALFRED R. CALHOUN.

Tor US TO claim to head the list with our
array OF great orators"
Don't you think, colonel, that the
prlntlu cypress has lessened the field for
oratory, or rather the need for it?" was
my next question.
Has the pOlychramatIc printng-press
that turns out millions of reproductions of
splendid painting limited the field of the
artists? or course not. if anythins the
production Of the chrome intensfies the
desire to see the genuine thing. People
are still eager 10 hear and be thrilled bv
the music Of the human voice. They have
read the speeches and they yearn to see
and TO hear the mantle orator. They
want to have their emotions stirred. TO
feel the divine flame. and, forgetting the
sordid earth for the time, to soar to heights
OF dazzling splendor on his wings. As TO
the suggestion that the printing-press ex-
hausts the orators themes, it but serves to
intensity them and to prepare the peopIe
for the proper reception of what he has TO
say. In every way the printing-press is
the orators ally. for it ena bles the hearer
TO deliberate on the truth that has stirred
him. and TO weigh il away from the
orators magic influence. Truth is the
cornerstone OF oratory, without that it is
sounding brass and tinkling cymbal."

The Umbrella Is Very Valuable.

can umbrella is one Of the most useful
articles that u man can carry with him."
said Lamar j. Saunders, from Jackson,
Miss. Zone can be used in dozen differ
ent ways. When the sun is shining hot,
or when it is raining, man without an
umbrella must either remain indoors or
suffer. As weapon of defense there is
nothing better. You can keep a man at
his distance with one better than you
could with a stick. Next to shotgun or
a pistol, there is no more dangerous
weapon.
remember one time was in hotel that
caught afire early in the morning The
guests were awakened by the sitting smoke
and noise My room was on the second floor,
and by the time had slipped on my pants
the fire had gained such headway that all
avenues of escape were closed. But there
was my umbrella and a window, and the
rest was easy.
"Another time I was walking through a
pasture when bull, with his eyes ablaze
with fire made for me. kept my senses,
and when he got within about fifty yards
of me ran toward him, opening and clos
ing the umbrella as fast as l could. The
bull wheeled around and ran from me
faster than he ever ran before in his life.
''And for frightening dogs, had rather
have an umbrella than an arsenal. "-St.
Louis Republic.
