The San Francisco call., 1898-04-17

"Ah, yes, I was supremely happy in those days. I felt immensely superior to the rest of my sex.
 My one source of annoyance was the fact that my hair would grow too fast, and finally it got so bad that the hor- rible fear began to dawn on me that would have to go to barber and have it cut.
 Well, I went Of course the barber asked me if I wanted a shave It's a regulation question with them.
 T said no rather too emphatically, I thought. for the barber stared hard at me for a second and then set to work on my hair
 Why, what soft hair you have he said, it's just like woman's.
 q nearly tainted, but managed to mutter that had often been told so.
 When I got out Of his shop, like the man on the Bowery, I resolved To never go there anymore.
 MT. Fowzer has no doubt told you about the theater invitations that caused me SO much mental worry and anguish.
 Tt was this way. I make friends easily, and soon after I came here the folks round here asked me to go out with them. I escaped whenever I could, but one time they caught me. MT. Fowzer had asked me to come to the house and make one of a card party I thought that it would be all right, so I consented.
 We had no sooner started when a nephew of MT. Powers came in with a box for the theater Mrs. Fowzer could not go, and I said that I would rather stay home with her. Seeing, however, that I could not do that with out attracting surprised attention, I re- luctantly consented to go.
 If you can imagine how felt sitting in the front of a box with three men, you will know that the feeling was anything but a jolly one. @
 Between one of the acts one of the party suggested something to refresh the inner man, as he expressed it, though I was thinking of the woman all the while.
 "I did my very best to escape the in- vitation, but only succeeded in making my position worse by refusing to go. Finally I saw that the easiest way to get out of it was to go to the bar with them and make show of drinking.
 "Oh, if my family could have seen me- We filed into the bar and they called for beer.
 eI was too wretched to do anything but nod my head when they asked me if I'd have the same!
 Have you ever seen one of the dreadful things they call 'schooners of steam beer?'
 Tt looked as large as a house to me. If the earth could only have opened and swallowed me I would have been happy. But the earth refused to do it and still I stood despairingly look

there was another, man, who fancied that women were not fit to do that sort Of thing, and wanted me to marry him and settle down and be comfortable Unfortunately we did not agree on that point He vowed that he would fol- low me, and so, to throw him off the track, l decided to do what I had so long planned; that is, to disappear as woman and appear as plain, every day working man, trying to earn a living.
 When I reached the city I stopped at good hotel. and I tell you it eat into my slim little purse, too. I then went to clothiers and ordered a suit of clothes sent to my rooms for my young cousin, MT. John Warren.
 T then went to lodging house cheap, but clean, and secured rooms for the same young man.
 The next night I packed my satchel and left the hotel, and next morning I hopped out of my room and into tbe world as MT. John Warren.
 How did it feel? Oh, it was awful
 T fancied every one was staring at me and I felt like bolting into the first friendly doorway that offered it's sbeI- ter
 My heart beat like trip hammer every time came near policeman. and I finally hit upon the plan of cross'
 
 them.
 At last I mustered up courage to go to MT. Fowzer.
 John, brace up and be a man. I said to myself. But in spite of nv best efforts it was only after two or three attempts that I pulled myself to- gether and ventured into his office.
 Lord heavens, how I quaked and trembled in my shoes when I had to face a real man, and what was worse talk to him.
 However, after few inward quakes I managed to tell him what I wanted and he kindly said that he would let me come.
 For a long time after that every thing was quiet. No one seemed to suspect me and I began to feel com fortabe. I liked my suit of clothes best on rainy days, no skirts to pick up and to get draggled in the mud

HAT advice would I give to
 n a young man ambitious to
 IhI become successful public
 V V speaker or orator?
 In the first place I would
 advise him to have some thing to say-something worth saying something that people would be glad to hear. This is the important thing.
 Back of the art of speaking must be the power to think Without thoughts words are empty purses. Most people imagine that almost any words, uttered in a loud voice and accompanied by ap propriate gesture, constitute an ora tion. I would advise the young man to study his subject, to find what others had thought, to look at it from all sides.
 Then I would tell him to write out his thoughts or to arrange them in his mind, so that he would know exactly what he was going to say. Waste no time on the how, until you are satisfied with the what.
 After you know what you are to say, then you can think of how it should be said Then you can think about tone, emphasis and gesture; but if you really understand what you say, em- phasis, tone and gesture will take care of themselves. All these should come from the inside They should be in perfect harmony with the feelings. Voice and gesture should be governed by the emotions. They should uncon- sciously be in perfect agreement with the sentiments. The orator should be true to his subject, should avoid any reference to himself.
 The great column of his argument should be unbroken. He can adorn it with vines and flowers, but they should not be in such profuSion as to hide the column. He should give variety Of epi- sode by illustrations, but they should be used only for the purpose of adding strength to the argument.
 The man who wishes to become an orator should study language. He should know the deeper meaning Of words. He should understand the vigor and velocity of verbs and the color or adjectives He should know how to sketch a scene, to paint picture, to give life and action. He should be a poet and dramatist, painter and an actor He should cultivate his imagi- nation He should become familiar with the great poetry and fiction, with splen- did and heroic deeds. He should be a student of Shakespeare. He should read and devour the great plays. From Shakespeare he could learn the art of expression, of compression, and all the secrets of the head and heart.
 The great orator is full of variety of surprises. Like juggler he keeps the colored balls in the. air. He ex- presses himself in pictures. His speech is a panorama By continued change he holds the attention. The interest does not flag. He does not allow him.

 Paine, Murphy q Co.'s Stock Letter. Birmingham, Ala, March 28.-Today's ex- citement on the advance surpassed all the excitement of the past five weeks li- quidation. The inside i9formation Satur- day that led the banking and administra- tive traders to cover shorts and purchase was the general sentiment today, and the . great bear following that has controlled the market was compeltely routed at times. Bidding to cover made prices to 2 dollars . shays advance in different sales. After the reading of the presidents message the
