A Speech That Made q HIT.

Edward Hanlan, ex-champion oars
man of the world, related a good story
of how he delivered a speech after
winning his second race in England.
His first victory had found him unpre-
pared. He was ready for his second
with a speech composed for him by
newspaper friend neatly copied out on
paper and stored away for use In his
eoat pocket.
When the crowd outside the club
house insisted upon seeing and hearing
the winner, he was helped out upon
window ledge by his friends and held
there by the coattails and the legs.
The crowd cheered him wildly. He
was too confused to speak. They
cheered him again. He threw out his
hand in a gesture of helplessness and
moved his lips in some inaudible num-
BILE Of apology for his inability to deliv-
err a speech. They could not hear on
account of the noise that they were
themselves making, but they encourag-
ed him with generous applause. He
saw his escape and proceeded to shake

frenzy of oratory, gesticulating elo-
quently and smiling his thanks. The
noisy and good natured crowd cheered
him to the echo, and his friends drew
him in from his precarious position on
the window ledge.
You carried that crowd along in
style" they congratulated him. What
did you say? We couldn't hear YOU"
Eyes. Give us an idea of your speech"
the reporters put in, drawing out their
notebooks.

said. do you want 1t all?"

HAM SMELLING A BUSINESS.
Peculiar Occupation For Which Only

Peculiar Occupation For Which Only
Few Are Qualined.
The ham smeller's only tools are a
long steel trier and his nose. He stands
in barrel to keep his clothes from be-
ing soiled by the dripping brine, and
the hams are brought to him, and he
plunges his sharp pointed trier into
them. withdraws 1t and passes 1t swift
ly beneath his nose. The trier always
goes down to the knuckle joint.
In testing meat In that manner the
man with the trier judges by the slight
est shade of difference between the
smell of one piece of meat and anoth-
er. The smell of the meat is almost
universally sweet, and that is what he
smells. The slightest faint or devia-
ton from the sweet smell is therefore
appreciable. 1t is not the degree Of
faint that he expects to find, but the
slightest odor that is not sweet.
When he detects an odor, he throws
the meat aside, and II 1t Is not I'M
wholesome 1t is sold as rejected"
meat, but II 1t is tainted 1t goes to the
rendering tank. The ham tester smells
meat from o'clock in the morning I'M
til 5 O'Clock at night, and his sense
must never become jaded or inexact or
his usefulness would be at an end.
Ham testing is not pursuit danger
GUS to the health. as tea testing is sup
posed to be. but the ham smeller with
a cold In his head is like a piano player
who loses his arm In a railroad wreck.

A meeting to last for weeks will be
commenced in the new Christian
church by evangelist A. B. Moore next
Sunday morning He has spent sever al
years IN the evangelistic work in the
middle, southern, northern and western
states. Below are few comments from
the press concerning his work:
HIS audiences are held spellbound during
the entire discourse. -Toiedo (O.i Daily News.
We have heard MIR. Moore twice and pro-
nounce him immense. He shoots straight and
hits hard. The house was full, as large as it Is,
and oyeriiows,-B Bloomfield GIal Farmer.
The revival at the Church of Christ is growing
in interest. Evangelist Moore delivers no
sensational sermons and tells no scare stories
to freighten people into becoming church
members, but holds out simply the promises of
the Bible, aud gains the attention of his
audience rs but few evange lists do. His argl-
ments are clear and convincing --Shelbina mo
Torchlight.
A splendid speaker; clean, kind, energetic and
able. While true to the gospel he Is con siderate
to those who differ from him. He is remark
able i'll that not once in thirty.eight sermons
and lectures delivered here did he have notes or
references before him. One of his effective
customs is to say Let us hear what Gods word
says on this point then quote the appropriate
Scripture. His descriptive powers are brilliant

These two young people are we'll known

several terms. The groom is an ex-
cellent young man with good talents

attractive and popular young lady,
surely calculated to do her full share

of Mr.. Mckinley. and the election of
Mr. Bryan would be nothing else.
Therefore must cast my vote in the
most effective way can against such
mandate. and that is for Mr.. McKin-
ley and his supporters
On the question of expansion, re-
greet that such grave responsibilities
have fallen on our time and country,
but when they come they must be met.
I do not believe that those men or
nations which seek to turn away from
and shrink from responsibility deserve
to be, or are, most respected or sue
cessful
l find no essential difference in prin-
ciple between the methods pursued in
the matter of new territory acquired
by treaty under the present admins
tration, and those employed in the
matter of new territory so acquired
under President Jefferson in 1903; I'M
der President Monroe in 1919; under
president Polk in 1916 and 184S; or
under President johnson in 1857
/ believe that expansion, although
then opposed with the same violence
and the identical arguments with it is
to this nation, and to the peoples and
countries credited to it, and has been
fully justified by the event. ''The
thing that hath been is the thing that
shall be, - and it is no more immoral
for the young nation to grow than for
young child to grow. Each is in
accord with wholesome and inevitable
processes of nature, and though each
growth requires some readjustment,
neither is to be feared or deplored.
I do not believe that the remoteness
of our new territory should be regard
ed as any objection, since it is by
modern methods far more accessible
from our great centers than was much
of the territory formerly acquired at
the time it was coded to and accepted
by us Ny friend, the late Gov.
Lucius Fairchild, told me he spent six
months, in the forests, going by OK
team from Wisconsin to California.
No such space of time now intervenes
for men or goods between Washington

CHARLES NOBLE GREGORY
Wisconsin University's Professor of Law
States Why He Will Support the Re-
publican Ticket This Fall. l...

Charles Noble Gregory, A. NJ, LII.
D., associate dean and professor of law
at the University of Wisconsin, mem
Der of the executive committee and
general council of the American Bar
association, and member of the Inter
national Law association, has, through
most of his life, been strongly attached
to the Democratic party. This year he
will vote the Republican ticket and
support Mckinley and Roosevelt His
reasons for doing so are as follows:
As private citizen, l have been
asked to express my views as to the
pending political issues, and the com
ing election.
Although through most of my life
strongly attached TO the Democratic
party, and by no means criticising
the motives of those who still adhere
to it, find myself alienated from
that party at the present time, and
very heartily give my support, such as
it is, to the candidates of the Repub-
hcan party, state and national The
reasons which constrain me, are two /:
L
Democratic party, would mean serious
financial disaster and a ruinous check
to the rising tide of prosperity already
upon us.
Second l do not symphathize with
the criticisms upon the so-called sex
pansion" policy of the present ad-
ministration
/ believe that financial disaster
fn11 l.
cause that party and it's chief candi-
date are pledged to a system of finance
and a money standard which I believe
to be wholly mistaken and necessarily
in practice ruinous.
If that leader is put in charge,
whether or not he would be able to de-
bauch the currency, he would be
pledged to do so, and do not think it
wise to turn over the place of chief
executive and the federal treasury to
one entertaining such views, and who
has given such pledges.
Whether he could keep his pledges
or not II think he would endeavor to
keep them). such condition of alarm
and doubt would follow, in my iudg-
ment, as would be almost as mischiey-
GUS as the full adoption of his mis-
Id6OA pypOCAu.
Doubt means stagnation, and stag
nation means destruction in all bust
ness which employs labor largely.
believe that the struggle for pros
perity in which we are all engaged. is
not an ignoble one. Widespread finan-
cial disaster means suffering, and the
most painful deprivation for large
and not the least deserving percentage
of our people. 1t means idleness for
hundreds of thousands of laborers It
means an awful increase in the per-
centage of crime, and in the death
rate for men and for women and child
rem as well. / think it not unworthy
of high-minded men to struggle
against system of finance which it is
believed will produce such results. It
becomes moral issue under such cir
cumstances
