Gov. Stuart's Story,

Gov Stuart, Of Pennsylvania, ap-
proaches public speaking with diff.
dencc. This feeling never left him,
despite his four years as mayor Of
Philadelphia. However, his long and
hard gubernatorial campaign gave him
greater confidence in himself. and to-
day he makes a strong and powerful
public address. But he never attempts
even a short address without first re.
ferring to the fact that he is not an
orator, and thus prepares his audi
ence for surprise. The other day,
introducing himself to the students at
Pennsylvania State college. he told this
story:
