DIR. Depew does advise women who
want to go into the post-prartlial arena

that there must be no preaching nor
any spread eagle oratory or skyscrap-
ing flights. Modern audiences don't
want star dust or aurora lights flashing
and streaming. Nor will they stand
much sentiment little of that goes a
long way.
IA woman must feel the temper and
moods of her listeners. 1t requires a
diversified audience to bring out the
best in a speaker.
There should be people who like
you, some who dislike you, those who
don't agree with you, and others who
do; those whom one part of speech
will catch and others who will respond
to a touch precisely the opposite"
(which makes the deeper impression,
story or epigram?"
"Epigram, | should say, and use it
much more than the story now. A
story must be part of the speech itself
1t must be woven in so that the listen
ers will not recognize that it is being
told until the laugh comes in. You
know women rarely are good story
tellers, and story told badly is worse
than none at all
I've given up preparing speeches
beforehand. Extemporaneous speak
ing is necessity. When I'm going to
speak at night, come home, read a
little Macaulay, and walk around this
desk for ten minutes getting some ideas
together that may be timely"
"And you would suggest walking
around table as good inspirational
exercise for women?"
"Why, yes; it seems to be good idea
exercise" and Depew smiled. But il

Child's Love Freuuenti7 Takes the Form
 Of Helpfuiness


 Very sweet and sacred to the mother are the child's first clear indications of ncernfor.hersef. These are sporadic springing mp rarely, and sometimes. as 1t looks to us, eaprieiously. Illness and temporary removal are a common occasion for the appearance of a deeper tenderness in the young heart A lit. tie boy Of three spontaneously brourht his story book to his mother when She lay in bed i'll; and the same child used to follow her about after her recovery with all the devotion of little lsniOht
 Very quaint and pretty, too, are the first attempts of $ child at consolation. 4 little German girl. aged two and a half, had just lost her brother. and seemed very indifferent for some days. She then began to reflect and to ask about her playmate On seeing her mothers distress she proceeded in truly childish fashion to comfort her: Never mind, mamma, you will get a better boy. He was ragmuffino GEr war ein Lump'9. The coexist- ence of an almost barbarous indiffer ence for the dead brother with prac- tlcal sympathy for the living mother is characteristic here
 A deeper and more thoughtful sym pathy comes with years and reflective power Thought about the overhang- ing terror, death, is sometimes the awakener of this. Are you old. mother?" asked a boy of five. Why" she answered Because. # he continued, ..the older you are the nearer you are to dying This child had once before said he hoped his mother would not die before him, and this suggests that the thought of his own forlorn condi- tion was in his mind here; vet we may hope that there was something of dis interested concern too.
 This early consideration freouently takes the practical form of hopeless. ness. A child loves nothing better than to assist you in little household occupations; and though love of ae- tivity and the pleasure of initiating, no doubt, count for much in these cases we can, think, safely set down some thing to the wish to be of use. This inference seems justified by the fact that such practical helpfnlness is not always initiative. little boy of two years and one month happened to over hear his nurse say to herself, 1T wish that Anne would remember to fill the nursery boiler" ''He listened and presently trotted off, found the said Anne doing a distant erate, pulled at her apron, saying, 'Nanna, Mama. lcome to nurse).

 Went to Trimming Electric Liehfs.


 Binghamton is probably the only city in the United States that has the distinguished honor of ha.ing her elee- tric lamps trimmed by one having the royal blood of Spain flowing in his veins and who at one time, not many years ago, rolled in luxury.
 Maurice Gondalfo is name well known throughout Central America and among clubs of New York Many years ago his father, who was, it is said, "a prince of the blood,' emigrated l from Spain to Central America, where he rejuvenated the depleted fortunes of his family. It was here he met and married young aud charming native, one of the flowers of the ancient Latin aristocracy.
 The general was in the habit of strolling about his plantation supervis- l ing the work of his men armed with q short, heavy sword. One afternoon, as he was passing through heavily wooded portion Of his estate, he was attracted by peculiar, powerful odor issuing from q ravine which branched off the regular pathway. Forcing his i way through tangle of vine and un- dergrowth. a terrible sight met his gaze. In cleft or cave in the face of the cliff stood one of his native employees armed with short stick, fighting for his life score of venomous reptiles, which were hissing and circiing about him.
 The brave old soldier, without thought as to the consequences, drew his sword and started to the rescue. 1t was $ 1 terrible battle amid the poisonous vi- pers, but finally the last of the reptiles was dispatched and the general turned to his companion, who was already deathly sick He had been struck in l two places and it was evident could not survive Before he died however, he told the general that the cave was 1 the entrance to rich vein of gold, and though discovered many years ago by natives, it had never been worked, being guarded by the yeno- nous reptiles.

ROBBERY AS A PROFESSION.
Kentucky "Reminiscences of the Career ct
 the James Brothers.


 Where l live, in southern Ken tuclly,n said the doctor, the uncle of the famous outlaws, Frank and Jesse James, lives also on big farm, and here, when pursuit of them became too fierce. these bandits used to come, while detectives secured the country and state officers dreamed of the price set on their heads.
 s'Of course. we more than guessed who the gentlemanly-loolS strangers were who appeared every now and then, and r-accidents--had hap pened to some amateur detectives who tried to arrest them we let them come and go undisturbed.
 s'On one of these visits Jesse James, tired of life that had lost it's charms, wornont with being hunted from place to place like . badgered animal, per haps remorseful for his many crimes, tried to commit suicide by taking an immense dose of morphine.
 II was sent for and held a prisoner in the house for three days. When arrived he was almost dead. l tried every antidote for morphine poisoning but without success, and finally said to his brother: Is there no way to frighten him? Rouse him any way you can Frankztook. Jesse's pistols, unloaded them, buckled the belt around the collapsed form and, rushing in the room, cried: Jesse, we are surrounded; caught like rats in 3 trap; fight for your life. In an instant the outlaw sprang to his feet, his eyes flashed and he stood with pistol cooked in each hand. Alters while he collapsed again, but time after time, when he was practically dead we called him back to life with that cry; You are caught.
 Think what fear such as that must be like. The horror of it was SC great that he responded to it when dead to every other sensation in this world. Can you imagine what it must be to have that torturing fear of some thing dogging your footsteps, walking in your shadow, haunting your dreams, and waking up in the dead hours of the night with cold sweat on your forehead. You are caught! Fight for a life red with crime and black with the shadow of the gallows.' What wonder such fear went beyond life into death itself. And that" said the doctor, ssis one of the romantic and de- 1ightful experiences of the gay life of the ehighwayman. ."-Louisyille Courier. Journal
