followed was that the type of hero.
ism which has doomed largest in the
eyes of the world, the courage which
has self-glorification as its end and
aim. must in the evolution of the
better morality be relegated to the
minor rank, and the self-sacrificing
courage of those who, often unher-
aided and unknown, patiently toll
for humanity be recognized and
crowned in its stead. Mr.. Gallagher
is earnest, practical and persuasive.
He appeals to the best instincts in
human nature by Il powerful empha-
sis upon the deeper capacity for Il
generous motive in the Individual
and in society. lie is a speaker of
wonderful magnetic gifts. He has
at his command an e%Xhaustless fund
of anecdote, always apt and telling.
He gives evidence of a thorough nc
quaintance with Il considerable
range of literature and history,
through which his mind moves with
sure touch and precision. Should he
he heard here again the people Of
Fargo may account themselves guar
anteed an intellectual feast.
