GREAT SPEECHES HEARD BY FEW.

Some of Them Delivered to a Very Small
Number of Auditors.
1t is curious fact that many Of the
great speeches which gave Immortality
to the orators who made them were de-
livered in comparatively small rooms
and to small audiences. When Webster
made his great argument in the Dart
mouth college case, aside from the bar
and the officials in charge of the room,
there were not so persons present, and
yet many believe that he spoke to lis
tening senators and other high officials.
When we read Of Patrick Henry's
wonderful display Of eloquence, we see
in our minds eye spacious room and
an immense crowd Of people listening
to his burning words with almost
breathlcss attention. But, in truth,
many Of these speeches which quickened
or changed the march of events were
delivered in small room and to few
hearers-never more than $50. could
