THE ART OF TALKING.
Things Tint Are Essential to n Good
ConycrsntionnIist.


/ To be good conversatlonalIst YOU
must be spontaneous, buoyant, natural.
sympathetic, and must have n spirit OF
good Will. You must feel spirit Of
helptulness and must enter heart and
soul into things which interest others.
You must get the attention of people
and hold 1t by interesting them, and
you can only interest them by warm
'sympathy-n real, friendly sympathy.
If you are cold, distant and unsympa-
thetic you cannot get their attention.
To be good conversatlonallst you
must be broad, tolerant. A narrow.
stingy soul never talks we'll A man
who is always violating your sense of
taste, Of justice and of fairness never
interests You. You lock tight all the
approaches to your inner self, every
avenue is closed to him, and when they
are closed yonr magnetism and your
helpfulness are cut off, and the con-
rersatlon is perfunctory, mechanical
and without life or feeling.
You must bring your listeners close
to YOU, must open your heart wide and
exhibit broad, free nature and an
open mind. You must be responsive,
SO that Il listener will throw wide open
every avenue of his nature and give
you free access to his heart Of hearts.

FRAU Won ERBE REMOVES
MANY OF HER ASSERTIONS
Case Begins to Take On Different
Light-An Witnesses Are
Much More Mild.

BERLIN, Dec. 23--Hearing of the
s. Harden-Von Moltke case was re-
sumed today, the morning session be-
ing held behing closed doors, but
in the Afternoon court was opened to
the public after the examination of
Fraun Won Erbe, the divorced wife
of Count Won Moltke, during the
course of which she modified her
former testimony to such surpris-
ing extent as to influence the defense
to a considerable extent. Many Of
Harden's assertions against Won
Moltke were based upon her previous
declarations. Frau Elbe withdrew
some of her statements derogatory
to Won Moltke and gave to other
statements an entirely different
meaning than previously implied.
Her physician being called to the
stand testified she suffered from
neuritis, and medical expert, Dr.
Hirschfeld, who at the first trial de-
clared Won Moltke was abnormal,
withdrew his expert opinion, which
had been given after sworn testi-
mony of Frau Won Elbe. The de-
tectives who we're on the stand today
gave evidence to the effect that moth
ing definite is known against Won
Moltke relative to any abnormality.
The court appointed one of the
judges to Munich to take evidence
against the reliability of Frau Won
Elbe from Harden's intimate friend
Prof Schweiniger, who was Chancel
Tor Won Bismarck's physician, and
who introduced her to Harden after
hearing her sweeping assertions.
The case adjourned until Friday.

Humorous Poachers.

A French provincial paper has a
story of gamekeeper who, going his
round one night, saw a poacher and
pursued him, but lost him on the high
way in the darkness. Soon a motor
car came up, and the keeper accepted
an offer from the occupants to get in
for the purpose of following the poach-
er. But nothing could be seen Of the
culprit, and when the keeper asked
to be let down there was a burst of
laughter and an intimation he would
find himself in Paris before morning
In the twilight the motor stopped In
the Place de la Concorde, the keeper
was thrown out, and the party-which.
Of course, included the poacher-drove
away. The unlucky keeper had to
pawn his gun to pay his train fare back.
