ut always gives me a panied feeling to
see a public speaker get up and preface
his remarks with few gratuitlous 'bou-
quets flung at the heads of his audi
ence," said a gentleman yesterday. He
begins by saying that It gives him great
pleasure to appear before you when in
reality he is anything but glad If the
house happens to be small One Of them
will even go so far as to say he was never
happy in any other particular locality
than the one in which he is delivering a
lecture at the time. The people are kind
err, they extend a more cordial welcome,
and in fact he has found himself in an
earthly Paradise which he is loath to
leave and would remain there forever,
were it not for the fact that he has an
engagement in the next town.
"All this takes we'll with some audi
ences but anyone who stops to consider
can readily see how ridiculous It is and
how meaningless Public speakers of the
better class have discarded this perfume
tory manner of beginning an address and
launch straightway into the question they
are to discuss. without any further ado.
This is vastly more pleasing to the aver
age audience and would be a fine practice
for all public speakers but unfortunately
country preachers and mediocre lecturers
still cling to 1t with scant regard for the
damage they nightly do their veracity."

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
The only way man can fool a woman
is to let her do 1t herself.
Women are awful soft and warm ex-
cent In the spots where they are hard
and cool.
II takes lot of education to teach a
woman what she already knows by in
stinct
When woman thinks of the clothes
that could be bought on the money that
Is wasted on house rent 1t makes her
write a letter home to her mother tell
ing her she suspects her husband doesn't
love her any more.
1t makes a woman awfully ashamed to
have her husband not know any better
than not to pretend to her friends he is
making so much money he wishes she
could be made to spend more.
