"The man who speaks as if it gave him
no trouble is the man who has taken the
most trouble to learn how to do 1t. y
/OhN Il. Br0aaHS
The term eXtemporaneous speaking IS
one which is much abused. In the exact
meaning of the term there is no "eXtem-
poraneous speaking" Orators may not
write special speeches for special occa-
sions, but they make it the business of
their lives to gather information and
ideas which may be worked up into
speeches for all occasions. No orator Of
reputation will speak on subject to
which he has given no thought. Webster,
after having delivered one Of his great
speeches, was asked how long he had
been in preparing it. He answered
Twenty years" For twenty years he
had been thinking on this subject; for
twenty wears he had been collecting data,
and when the time had come to speak
he was ready. Let those who desire TO
become ready speakers spend part OF
their leisure i'll the perusal of good solid
literature that when the time comes to
speak they may have something to say

The brain is the best memorandum
book. It is self-recording. In its use
you never have to search your pockets
for a pencil, and finding the point bro
ken ask half dozen friends for a pen
knife, and then, perhaps, cut your fin
ger while sharpening it. 1t is self-in-
dexing; and you find what you are look
ing for before you forget it. Its records
can be read only by the owner; and If
your knowledge is recorded i'll the brain
your Latin teacher will never accuse
you of using notes in class. With use
its capacity and reliability increase.
Every student has the power of "bless-
ing" himself with good memory; and
to gain much knowledge this power
should be exercised to its fullest extent.

DECISION REACHED AT A COUNCIL IN

the conduct Of the war against Spain will be
adhered to and will he pushed with vigor and

tions will be made necessary by the changes
that have occurred since the beginning of hos
tllities but these Will not affect the general
plan Of operations. General Miles returned from
Florida with a store OF Information respecting
the condition OF the troops. the difficulties to
be expected in the progress Of the campaign
and the needs OF transportation and terminal
facilities. which will be freely availed OF to cor
rect the defect. I'm the present system developed
by experience. The council Of war was held az n
result Of General Miless arrival in Washington.
The conference was entirely harmonious. The
only reason General Miles did not visit the
White House yesterday was the Presidents de
sire that his advisers should have the benefit
Of the Generals recital OF his observations at
nrst hand.
The stories that there has been friction De-
tween General Miles and his official superiors
are declared absurd by all concerned. and to-
days proceedings gave ample evidence OF the
fact that the utmost harmony characterizes the
relations between the President and the mill
tary branch OF the Government There were.
Of course some differences OF opinion among
those present At the council. but there has been
disposition in any quarter 10 resist for an
instant any conclusion which has been approved
by the President.
The official declaration that the campaign Is
to he pushed with vigor does not necessarily
mean Immediate attack on Havana although
that movement has been advised. 1t does mean
ma the best efforts will be used to put the
Army In condition to strike with overwhelming
effect at any point or points at almost a mo
