AMERICAN AUDIENCES.
Hen aud Women and Their Eject
Ipon Pniiic Meetings.

pom Hnbie 1eetfhLss
American audiences are strangely
alike In some things and strangely dis
similar In others A good committee
will take as much pains 10 the ar
rangement of Its audience as of its
spea kers. An audience seated without
crowding Is seldom enthusiastic Mel
Their is an audience whose hands are
occupied with bundles or umbrellas, an
audience largely composed of women
or an audience in cold room. The
easiest audiences TO address, the most
responsive and inspiring, are those
composed Of men crowded and packed
together and warm.
Women naturally do not applaud or
cheer. They are by instinct more self
restrained in the public expression OF
their emotions than men. Every public
speaker is complimented by their pres
ence. knowing that their quiet word at
home is oftentimes more effective in
results than the most enthusiastic
shouting on the street corners by the
other sex. Ia a public meeting, how
ever, the audience gets its cue from
those nearest the speaker. 1 remember
well two audiences. both from the
same social class, both crowded, both
in large theaters and both largely al
tended by women. One happened to be
i'm Colorado, one in Mass1 chusetts. In
one meeting the orchestra WAS re-
served for women. In the other meet
ing the men had the orchestra and the
women had the lower gallery and al
tine boxes In both eases the audiences
were entirely friendly TO the speakers.
The second meeting was marked by
wild enthusiasm. the first one by re-
spectful attention. In the second case
the mass of men in the orchestra urged
on the speakers by continued applause.
In the first case the mon in the CALLER
les who started to applaud were
checked because between them and
the speakers was mass of absolutely
silent femininity in the orchestra. | do
not say that one meeting Wa, less ef-
fective than the other, but the differ
enee Ia tue Strain on the speaker was
marked.-From The Spellbinder,' by

Vidocq, the great French detective
was born in Arras in 1775. He began
life as a baker and early became the
terror of his companions by his athletic
frame and violent disposition. At the
same time he was a notorious thief
and after many disgra ceful adventures
he enlisted in the army. In 1896 he re
turned to Paris with some money
which, however, he soon squandered
Next he was sentenced at Lille to eight
years hard labor for forgery, but re-
peatedly escaped, and in 1903 he be-
came connected with the Paris police
as detective.
His previous career enabled him to
render important services, and he was
appointed chief of the safety brigade
chiefly composed of reprieved convicts
which purged Paris of the many dan
gerous classes. In 1918 he received a
full pardon, and his connection with
this service lasted until about 1928
when he settled at st. Mande as pa.
per manufacturer. Soon after the revo-
luton of 1880 he became political de
tective, but with little success. In 184S
he was again employed under the re-
publican government, but he died pen.
niless in 1857.

Betting ON a Certainty.

Peter Schemm, says the Philadelphia
Times, was fond of telling the story of
a German typesetter who had been
boasting of his capacity for lager.
"Youse Dutchman," he was told by a
bartender, don't drink as much beer
as people says youse dol"
..Of course not" Clipped in one of
the customers. "And I'll bet you,
Dutchy, you can't drink bucketful."
The German was lost in thought for
a moment and then hurriedly rushed
from the saloon, while the others roar
ed with laughter. His boasting was
still the topic of conversation when he
returned, five minutes later, and calm
ly said:
''I'll take that bet"
The money was posted, bar bucket
holding five quarts was filed and the
German promptly drank the beer and
took the $5. Nobody questioned that
he had won fairly, but one of the on
lockers asked:
"Say, what did you leave the saloon
for that time"
why" he said as he winked with
the air of man who was far too smart
for his fellows, 81 yust went down to
Schmidt's and drank bucket to see il
/ would be safe in taking dot bet"
