sad, Give me liberty or give me
death. He has been here before and
that's why he is here now. He needs
no Introduction. He will talk to YOU
about The Road to Victory, or

MIR. Handy spoke for two hours and
mixed up good advice, suggestive
thoughts and humor into n very pleas
ant and interesting whole. He made
no attempt Whatever at oratory but
delivered his discourse more in CONVEX
satlonal style. While he was n trifle
SLOW at times, his audience never SEEM
oii to get tired, but followed him with
the StricteSt and most careful attention
applauding the good features and fully
approaching the humorous illusions.
