Whitcomb Riley, George II. Daniels, and
Byron W. King, worthy kinsman Of Starr
King, with seven good men and true on

oratorical vibrations should any of the
Others disappear beneath the table, over

"Thc chairman was Or. SiIas Hubbard
author of the author of "A Message to
Garcia. He introduced Byron w. King
urst, as the last shall be first. Besides
that. the good Doctor didn't ..now the

that Byron had marked quccrity of as
pcct, sort of gibossity of expression

Pulchritudcs fan the breeze and strike

oratorical bat.
byron opened up adagio and spoke
about nothing for a minute, and then he
paused and smiled, a smile that was con,
tagious. That smile won all, and wher
he began again it was with an under
standing -platitudcs were to be left be
hind and truism waived He had me-
the audience and they were his.
"Thc general topic Of the meeting was
What Shall We do With Our Life? As
Byron opened up the andante stops ont

cause the audience would not let hin
stop. After him no one would unlimbel
his logic, and all the eloquence was bot
tied for later sessions. Hearts were full
and tongues We're dumb. -

you are a practical speaker, yet ncvc
