wendell Phillips Power.

The writer heard Wendell Phillips
once on the nobility of the North Ameri-
can Indians, and while the spell of the
speech lasted he was almost ashamed Of
himself for being white instead of cop
.;er colored. One secret of the power Of
Phillips with an audience was that he
was always definite, certain in his state
ments and position. If he had privately
doubts about a course or a policy, he
never exhibited them when on the plat.
form. He very well knew that there is
nothing an audience likes so little in a
speaker as indecision and beating about
the bush. There was no haziness in
what he said. His subject stood out be-
fore his hearers as clearly cut as a cameo.

happy couple were left alone.

Individual Freedom.

There is greater individual freedom in
Great Britain and her colonies than in
America. For instance, every Sunday
small knots of men may be seen in the
principal London parks, giving express
sion to the most varied sentiments on
matters political, social and religious,
and language painful to the great major
ity of the people is constantly being used
No restriction is ever placed on such ex-
pressions of opinion, so long as they are
uttered on sites designated by the police,
where there can be no obstruction to
traffic or danger of intimidation being
exercised. In America, however, no
meetings of any kind are permitted in
these open spaces.
In Central park, New York, no one
may even lEck up leaf without danger
Of fine or Imprisonment No one may
walk on the grass unless he is playing n
game. barely escaped arrest for walk
ing on the carriage drive. The police
march about with their batons out

gard themselves more as the masters
than the servants Of the people.-Earl of

Originality In Love.

She was romantic and vowed to
give her hand and heart to none but
the man who should propose in an
entirely original way, differing in all
particulars from those before.
Years passed, and hundreds-for
she was a beauty and an heiress-
essayed in vain with all manner Of
unique phrases.
AT last came a manly man, who
said simply: "Will you be my wifel
You are my first and only lover
With eager eyes she had looked at
him, but as he finished she burst into
tears. Your beginning was entirely
original, " she sobbed, but the last
sentence has been repeated to me by
Al, 144 different men and spoils it all !"
She died Immediately afterward
from a broken heart, and the manly
man purchased a lonely island where
he could occasionally go to indulge

An Artistic Performance.

"Ladies and gentlemen" said Colonel
Handy Polk, who had been delegated to
introduce the eminent pianist to the cul-
tured and refined audience assembled in
the Spread Eagle theater, Il take pleas
ure in interducin to you Herr Won
PUNK, the celebrated virtuous, who will
give us a wonderful imitation Of a man
performin on a piano. The perfessor
makes regular business Of playin the
piano and thoroughly understands what
he is doin, so I'll jest say TO anybody who
don't happen to like his style that the
fault is in you and not in Herr Won
PUNK. No audible criticism will be tol-
Grated
"Alkali Ike and Hank Bitters have been
appointed to keep order, and, like the
perfessor, they are dead onto their jobs.
NV son and several other little boys will
pass through the audience every now and
then with peanuts and popcorn for sale,
SO there will be no excuse for anybody's
going out while the perfessor is playin.
That's all have to say. Let her go, per-
fessor!'-Exchange.
