Pulpit Speakers Are Not the Only
Sufferers From 1t.
''The late Colonel Ingersoll frequently
\ gained applause during his lectures by
referring to the fact that there was such
thing recognized in the standard med
ical books as preachers sore throat but
that no one had ever heard of an auc-
tioneer's sore throat" observed a popu-
lar voice builder to Il reporter, land
while Colonel Ingersoll probably was
entitled to the point he wanted to illus
trate he was somewhat off when he in
sisted on the point.
"'i'reachers' sore throat is recognized
by all writers on throat diseases, but it
is not necessarily confined to preachers.
lawyers mean court advocates-and
others who overtax their voice ut times
suffer from it as frequently as do preach
ers. One of the answers to Colonel In
gersoll would he that the books did not
include singers sore throat either.
1.-THE fact of the matter is that auc-
tioneers do not have sore throat. A sue
cessful auctioneer, as far as his voice is
concerned, is provided naturally with
abnormally strong vocal chords. These
he strengthens by continual use. SO that
in few years the voice and throat are
the strongest parts of him. He is as lia-
BILE. however. as others to suffer from
other troubles and has his share of them
too. 1t is the same way with a singer.
His voice is generally the strongest part
Of him, and almost every other organ
suffers before his throat does. The public
does not know how many there are who
try auctioneering and who find that they
cannot hold out. The voice of every
man is not suited for continuous work.
Auctioneer work means several hours Of
constant vocal exercise each day.
"The reason the preachers throat goes
back on him now and then. and It does,
Is that his use of the vocal chords is not
constant, for ordinarily the greater eff
fort is seldom more than once a week.
Another thing that operates against the
preachers and In favor of the auctioneer
is that the preacher seldom speaks in
the open air, while the auctioneer finds
the most use for his voice in the open
air. Open air is the most wonderful
strengthened Of the voice. A marked ex-
ample of this is the fact that circus per-
formers and circus followers generally,
who work in tents and open air, never
have sore Threats. Star.

ONE OF COUGHS cLlMAxES.
D Pcroration by Which He Thrilled
His Hearers.

h13 ncaEcEbs
Many and many day ago, on the then
frontier line of the valley Of the Mime
sofa, in the at that time beautiful village
of Mankato, word went out that Cough
had been engaged by the local lyceum bu-
reau to lecture on temperance. Cough
came. He was received by committee
of men who had fought Indians, swan
rivers, spoiled the virgin forests, opened
new soil, endured poverty, suffered hun
ger and never surrendered their BELIEF IN
the right. They escorted him to the op-
era house and stage.
His speech was slow at first, gestures
few, illustrations not many. The village
topers were out in force and some more
decent men for whom women were pray
ing to give over the habit of drink. He
told something of his own life, Of the
misery brought by drink, of the laws
of self denial and self sacrifice. He was
intense at all times, and this intensity
bore down upon the listeners until he had
made them one with himself. Even the
small village boy, inclined to cat calls
and gurgling whistles, was silent, and
there came through the sepulchral hall
no sound but the raw cry of the winter
wind from outside.

want which came upon them, the loss Of

for exercise of will power, more potent
in effecting reform than all the drugs
and medicines in the world. This was
but developing the minds of his hearers
for a climax.

the air and shouted:

Two sisters sat with delicate arms enlaced;
Watched as she dealt the cards and, without

Spelt out the rune Of their two destinies.

Poppy and white anemone were they;
flower Of autumn and flower Of May,
They watched to see their fates from darkness

"Here ut home bluff doesn't count for

German who was occupying q suit,
though not spending much money or put
ting on any great style. One day there
was a great row. The landlord had ask
ed him as a special favor to vacate for
q newcomer, and, of course, the man
didn't propose to be turned out. The
landlord coaxed and argued, and the Ger
man growled and muttered, and l fol-
lowed them down to the office to see how
1t would come out. At the desk was an
American / had run across In Venice
a buyer for q Chicago dry goods house.
When tho landlord and the German be-
gan to gable in chorus, the buyer pulled
q blank check from his pocket and reach
ed for pen and said:
"'An this talk is of no use. I want
rooms here. l will buy the hotel and Sc
lect my suit. Sir, what is your cash
price for this hotel?'
"'You would buy the hotel! exclaimed
the landlord, as he threw up his hands in

"'Grounds and all, and I want it to-

four? And what name shall fill in on
the check?
"Say, now" laughed the tourist, "but
you ought to have seen the thing work.
The German had determined to be ugly
about 1t, but when he bumped up against
a man who had as soon pay four millions
as one for what he fancied he felt awed
and humbled and ready to quit. The
landlord figured that to turn away such a
Crpsus would ruin his house, and It
wasn't half an hour before the buffer
was installed in the suit and the Ger
man was chucked into a hole on the top
floor. And that wasn't all, mind you.
