GRILEY LOSES HIS FIGHT.
His Project for Storm Water Drain
Knocked in Head.

Councilman Griley's project to have a
new storm water drain built to con-
meet the street at Second and Chandler
with the storm drain under the Fourth
street pavement at Fourth and Chand-
Ter, was knocked in the head by the
ways and means committee Thursday
night.
This drain as it now lies is not deep
enough to connect with the Fourth
street storm water sewer, and the peo-
pie living north of Fourth on Chandler
would like to improve their drainage
by having the drain laid about nine
feet deeper in the ground at the south
end. The ways and means committee
seemed to think that the people in the
Second ward had turned down chance
to have a sewer system, and that they
would have to get along without any
assistance from the city at large.

ELooUENCE AND COLOR.
Ldttleton's Speeches Are Symphonies
of Red, Blue. Green and Yellow.

Most of the noted public speakers
get the popular credit of being able
to deliver the oratorical goods with
out having committed to memory more
than the skeleton of their speeches.
This idea is discouraging to laymen
who find. IL called on for an impromp-
tn speech. oven in familiar and
dumb-unable to untangle their
| thoughts.
! Such should attend to an account
of the strange and ingenious methods
ough president of Brooklyn, who made
the nominating speech for Judge
Parker at st. Louis.
Mr.. Littleton is numbered among
the telling speakers of the Democracy,
yet he cannot speak offhand. He COM
mits to memory every word IF his
speeches, and does it 50 thoroughly
that there is never slip in his de-
livery.
When Mr.. Littleton learns that he is
to make a speech he sallies forth to
his stationer's, where he buys a COL
lection of pads of colored paper, such
as would serve in an examination for
color blindness. He gets white pads,
red pads, blue pads, green pads, yell
low pads. heliotrope pads, and pink
pads. Then he goes to the pencil case
and picks out pencils of every color
of lead that the house affords. Then
he goes home, ready for work.
The rest is easy. Mr.. Littleton
writes the first page of his speech on
white paper with a black pencil, the
second with a blue pencil, the third
with red pencil, and so on until All
the pencils have been used on the
white pad. Then he grabs the red pad
and writes upon it with all the pencils
perhaps, the red pencil
dropping a pencil at the end of each
sheet.
And then? Why, tits very simple.
at least for the Brooklyn orator. He
reads the speech to himself, over and
over, and each sheet of paper i'm
presses itself upon his memory. He
knows that when he stands before hfs
audience he can gaze into space and
every sheet will parade before him i'm
the written order 1t will be ft1st as
easy as though he had written his
speech on stereopticon slides and had
1t flashed at the back of the conven-
ton hall.
When he gets a-going with a para
graph about the honor conferred on
the great Empire state by the most
sanguine Democratic national conven-
ton of a decade" he will have the
white page and the black pencil be-
fore his minds eye. The real paper
and pencil may be in the ash can Nv
that time. AS he comes to the nart
about ''the honored judiciary OF mr.
great state" he may be looking al vel
ow writing on a green pad HIS ner-
)ration, fraught with enthusiasm NAV
win before him in purple on pfnL
1ut his hearers will think IL is nofhfns
Jut pure fnspiration.-NewY orlr c.

Bright'S Disease and
Diabetes News.
Law Offices of Henley & Costello.

Law Offices of Henley & Costello.
San Francisco, July %.
To the legal profession of Kansas:
1 was a witness to the following:
About two years ago Prof. Yost of Palo
Alto who was in an extreme condition
due to advanced Bright's Disease, came
to my office. He was attended by his
physician who was himself a victim of
Diabetes. The object of the visit was to
meet a prominent business man who
had for months been investigating an
alleged cure for Bright's Disease and
Diabetes, and hear his verdict. He de-
cIared that the claims were fully proven
and that the cure had been discovered.
Both Prof. Yost and his physician at
once adopted the treatment. Within six
months both were SO we'll along towards
recovery that they considered them
selves beyond danger and at this date
neither Bright's Disease nor Diabetes
physician is successfully using the
treatment in his practice,
Learning that my old law partner,
Judge r. r. Bigelow, for many years
had Bright's Disease and that though
he had had four or five of our best
physicians, yet that he had had to give
up practice and was in a serious con-
the above. 1t resulted in his complete
recovery and he is again back to active
practice. AS to the durability of chronic
Bright's Disease and Diabetes have no
more doubt about it than that I am
living. Sincerely yours,
BARCLAY HENLEY

cred Fulton Compounds, the first cures
