THEY HEARD THE BEST OF 1T.
Yet Each One Heard Only the Speech
That Was Made by
Himself.

Kentucky has been spoken of by a
distinguished writer as "a land of ora
tors and oratory."
Stoddard johnson and Young Ali
son are two of the citizens of that COM
| monwealth whose accomplishments
| help to emphasize that statement.
Both are brilliant orators at all times
and they are especially gifted as story
| tellers and after-dinner speakers, and
| they are eminent journalists withal
Besides, both arc afflicted with a decid-
ed tendency to deafness.
One evening last winter Johnson and
Allison had been prominent figures at
a banquet in Louisville-a frequent oc-
currence with them-and both had re-
| sponded to toasts during the session"
with more than usual happiness and
cloquence.
They left the hall that night arm in
arm, and during their conversation, as
they walked homeward, Allison re-
| marked:
at seemed to me, Johnson, that the
speeches at the table tonight were far
above the average for such occasions"
"Hey?' inquired johnson, hand to
ear.
Allison repeated his remark.
YES" johnson returned; that
struck me quite forcibly."
"IIey?" said Allison.
81 said" shouted johnson, "that !
was thinking the same thing myself"
(Which of the speeches did you hear
best?" Allison asked.
"IIey?"
(Which was the best speech you
hcard?"
81 only heard my own. What did you
think of it?'
:IIey?"
Il said how did you like my speech?"
Il was too far away to hear anyone
except myself"
And both chuckled quietly at some
thing that seemed amusing to the in
dividual inwardness of each.-William
Lightfoot Nisscher in Woman's Home
Companion.
