Baron Russell the lord chief justice
sf England. at a dinner of the United

days ago. made an excellent speech
which is much too long for the News TO

MY other point Is the requirement OF
the habit OF ready spaeeh.- I hold views
upon this question which ! have more
than once expressed. There is a great
dread. II very close watch Is pot kept,
OF facility of speech degeperating into
glibness of speech. and the person Who
made the least impression upon me is
the person who talks the most glibly. I
Infinitely prefer 10 listen to man who
first stammers and hesitates for the
choice of particular word 10 express
the particular shade OF meaning

companying his attempted utterance.
would rather hear such n man than
one who, never pausing for a word.
gave e'idea that he was washed away
before the food OF his own eloquence.
What was wanted was not words,
words. words. but thoughts, thoughts,
thoughts. A well-thought-out speech
packed with information and packed
with thought well digested Is worth a
dozen speeches in which there is a
cloud of words, but in which thought
bears about the same proportion to the
volume of matter as, In the celebrated
classic case, the bread bore to the
quantity OF sack Thought is the first
essential, and when that he's been
achieved. then facility of speech is a
matter of comparatively easy acquire
ment."

The annexation OF Cuba TO the United

events from which there is no escape.
Cuba is not now nor Will she ever be

its own, TO govern Cuba, i'm case the
Cubans cannot themselves govern

while to handy words about imperial

He split rails with Lincoln; that is
the one claim old Thomas Thompson,
OF Lyman County, South Dakota, lays
to anything like distinction. But ne is
immensely proud OF that.
1t was back In the days when Abra-
ham Lincoln was a rising young states
man in Illinois; the houap OF both was
along the bank OF the Sansamon river
and not very far apart. Thompson was
a lad at the time, but he was OF q kind
in whom the leadership Of Lincoln was
looked upon with admiration U,mixed
with emulation, says the Minneapolis
journal. Lincoln in a few years be-
came president, but Thompson has new
er risen much higher than the rail

&alk about. In the summer Thompson
herds sheep on one OF the big ranches
and i'm winter he sells trinkets and GU
rios made Of minerals he picks up dur
