One afternoon, while Lord Sack
vile was Great Britain's minister
here, one, of the secretaries of the
British legation, Il rather light-headed |
young fellow, escorted Il large party
of English tourists, men and women,
to the House gallery screened off for
the diplomatists. The party immed-
iately fell to laughing and chatterng.
1t happened that brilliant Irish
American representative was making
Il speech at the time, to which the
House was paying close attention.
The boisterousness in the diplomatists'
gallery increased. The English tour
lists fell to pointing out and laughing
gleefully over the appearance of repre-
sentatives of odd address or physical
makeup. They paid not the slightest
attention to the speakers sharp gavel
raps for order, but Went on merrily
conversing in loud tones.
Their conduct at length became so
offensive that the representative who
was addressing the House came to
dead stop. He paused for fully
moment, turned about in his place and
glared steadily at the noise makers in
the diplomatists' gallery. The tourists
under the wing of the British secre-
tary of legation gaZed at the angered
representative, and then pointed at
him and laughed loudly.
"AIr. Speaker" said the representa-
tive who had the floor, proper deco
rum prevails in all of the galleries of
this chamber ut this moment except in
the diplomatists' gallery. 1 demand
that the gallery be cleared"
The speaker, who was not less in
censed over the boorishness of the
tourists in the diplomatists' gallery
than the representative, had no time
to give the necessary instructions to
the dOorkeeper of the gallery. The
touring Englishmen and English wom-
en-, led by the secretary of legation,
Immediately rose from their seats and
passed out; not, however, before the
women had given utterance to derisive
filters and the men to bursts of de-
faint laughter.
"Could you imagine a party of
American ladies and gentlemen be-
having in that fashion in gallery of
the English House of Parliament?'
scornfully inquired the representative
whose speech had been interrupted,
and there was tremendous "No!'
from both sides of the chamber and
from the galleries as we'll. Then the
representative went ahead with his
speech.

HOW TO MAKE A SPEECH.
Some Valuable Suggestions by al
Irish Orator.

L
orators to prepare full notes of what
they are going to say. The leading
fact about public speaking is that you
have got to get into touch with your
audience as soon as possible; and the
only way to do that is, as it were, to
ask them to sit down beside YOU and
have a chat OH certain subjects in which
you are both interested. One of the
constant mistakes of young speakers
is that in order to make a speech you
must get away from the ordinary and
the familiar; that you must use a
language different from that of every
day life, that, in short, speech is not
conversation, but something theatrical,
particular, unfamiliar. This reminds
one of the kind of letters that are
written by men who have got their
education late in life. Their letters
have always certain affectation; a
straining after effect; tendency to
drop into quotations, especially from
foreign tongues. The moment a let
ter gives even the suspicion of being
affected it becomes mere balderdasl1,
and exasperating balderdash too,
writes T. P. O'Connor, MP, in the
Chicago Tribune.
Now if my theory of the fundamental
necessity of a good speech be correct
namely: that the orator should get
in touch with his audience-it fol-
lows that he should not attempt to
make speech every word of which
has been considered and written out
beforehand. He is like man then
fighting battle with armor around
him, Stacking his movement, oppress-
ing him in every way. This is the
reason why deliberately prepared
speeches SO seldom make much effect.
When the rival of Demosthenes OBJ
jccted that his speech smelt of the
lamp, it may or may not have been
a just criticism; we are too far away
from the times to be able to decide;
but if the statement as to the effect
the speeches made when delivered
were that they smelt of the lamp, then
the criticism was just; and so far the
speeches of Demosthenes were less
effective than possible.
l will not say that 1 have never
heard written out speech effective.
There are cases of which 1 know in
which speaker is able to utter every
word exactly as he wrote it down be-
fore he started out to speak. Mr..
O'Connor Power, the celebrated Irish
orator, is an instance of this. Another
instance was the late Joseph Cowen
Mr.. Cowen used to be spoken of at
one time as the greatest orator of the
house Of commons. He had many
powers; he was eloquent, epigramma-
tic, often poetical; he would one day
have carried his rich Newcastle accent
into the cabinet; and yet never heard
speech of his which seemed to me
to produce an effect proportionate to
its merits. The house sat and listened
with silent admiration, but it was cold
admiration.
Remember that when I talk of
written speech I mean a speech of
which every word is written. and which,

ments relating to the early colonial
days of Massachusetts and New Eng
land which money could not buy from
him. He has copy of the first Bible
published in America and collection
of rare books that came to him from
his ancestor. Leonard Hoar. who was
president Of Harvard College more
than two centuries ago.
He has interesting relics in the form
of letters and books from John Han
cock and Samuel Adams, and books
that We're the personal possession of
Washington Irving. Coleridge. Daniel
Webster. Longfellow: the original
manuscripts Of William Cullen Bry-
ants death Of the Flowers and
hundreds of other mementoes.
The senator lives in an atmosphere
of history. His home in Worcester is
built on property once owned by John
Hancock and every favorite spot in
that neighborhood marks some histori-
cal character or event. Some years
ago he purchased n little knob of land
which he named Asnebumskit Hill in
honor of some old Indian brave.
1t is a little more than bare rock
surmounted by large pine tree, in
which a pair Of eagles built their
eyry. In pleading with the people Of
Worcester not to disturb the eagles.
the senator recently penned beauti-
full little classic dedicated to the glor-
ious bird that had nested on Asnebum-
skit.
During the coming vacation of Con-
gress he will probably carry out
plan he has had in mind for some
years and this is the exploration of
