School Makes After Dinner Speakers

subway, the noise of flat-wheeled troll
leys or the pandemonium Of change,
begin their "ba-pa-ing.' the ordinary
college yell is lullaby.
This seemingly frivolous occupation,
however, is one of the lessons in the
newly established school to cure stage
fright now being operated by the West
Side Y. NJ c. A. The official name of
the institution is the Public Speakers
club but its purpose is to give nerve
to New Workers., who can talk deal
through like master when they are
seated in their office chairs, but who
stutter and stammer and say "Er-"
Err" between every word when they
try to speak on their feet after din
ner or from rostrum.
The drill on the tongue traps is
given by Grenville Kleiser, formerly
professor Of public speaking at Yale,
to give lips and glottas practice in
clear enunciation.
The final stages will give individu-
ais an opportunity to occupy and re-
cite the stirring words of others and
later make mock speeches to a real
and critical audience which is not at
all above laughing at something fun
ny in the speakers attitude or de-
livery.

NEW YORK.-There appears to be
~ something in the atmosphere of
the steel trust that is provocative of
domestic infelicity. The long fight of
w. Ellis Corey, president of the big
corporation, for divorce from his wife
in order that he might marry Mabelle
Gilman, the actress, and his success
in both ambitions are generally known.
Hardly less known was the divorce of
Judge Ebert H. Gary chairman of the
trust and his marriage of a young
woman who had been a clerk in New
York store.
, Now comes the report that James
Gayley, who the other day presented
his resignation as vice-pfesident of the
United States Steel corporation, is
about to sue his wife for divorce. Mr..
Gayley has closed his house, at s
Sixty-ninth street, and taken apart
lments at the Hotel Savoy. At the
Colony club, Of which Mrs. Gayley is a

WALK OF THE HORSE.
Great Difference in the Gait of, Even
Jr of Same Breed.

There is much difference in differ
ent individual horses of the same and
every breed in the matter of walking,
some having quicker steps and a
longer stride, which means the cover
ing of greater distance in less time. |
have found that there are slow,
medium and fast walkers in every
breed. says writer in Farmers Re-
-$iew. AS in running, pacing and
Nrotting the walk can be made faster
by proper handling in nearly all cases,
but some animals improve more than
others. 1t would be impossible to
horse whose step was very short.
have noticed no difference in speed at
the walk in the light breeds of horses
and others that were fast walkers.
The action in walk, as in trot or other
gaits, is largely inherited. | have
owned many horses that came from
the same family, running first, second,
third and fourth generation, almost
all of them having the same kind of
action, both in walk, trot and the sad
die gaits. 1 am, however, unable to
say ali "eIe 5oou at Hat-iool WALK
but many of them were, and it is my
opinion that while / think the good
walk is largely inherited it can be
much improved by good rider or
driver. l do not think the feed given
a horse can affect his walk. OF course
a horse in good condition feels we'll
and will travel faster than one not
well fed but this is as far as feed
would enter into the question.

Mr.. Gayley declined to discuss the
change in his household arrangements.
Cards sent to Mrs. Gayley at the Col
ony club were returned with the infor-
nation that she was out and that 1t
was not known when she would re-
turn. She recently returned from the
west. where her father had died. One
of her friends said she intended to go
to Rome to visit her two daughters.
One of these daughters, who was
Miss Mary Gayley, was married last
November to Count Giulio Semi of
Rome.
The house in Sixty-ninth street
which has been closed is one of the
best in the neighborhood. 1t was there
that Mrs. Gayley gave a cotillon for
her daughter, Miss Agnes Gayley, in
February, 1907, on the occasion OF that
young woman's entrance to society.
Before becoming first vice-president
of the United States Steel corporation.

for blast furnace walls, of an auxiliary
casting stand for Bessemer steel
plants and of other appliances.

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards, Nov. 30.
Offerings of cattle were very good
at the yards last week, some $4,000
head being received against $1,000 the
previous week and only $500 for the
same period last year. Demand was
good and all sold at satisfactory prices.
On Monday the market was higher but
since that time there was decline of
10 to 15 cents, leaving the good cattle
about steady with the week before,
while the common kinds are a little
lower. Good beef steers brought $500
to $4.75, and right fancy steers sold
up to $500. Cows sold at 1925 to
1915 for the good to choice and sew
eral punches of fancy COWS brought
$500. Bulls were steady at $2.25 to
1910, and veal calves weak to a lit
tie lower. Good to choice feeders sold
at 1915 to $4.S5, and the right fancy
kinds would bring more. Fair to good
grades went at 1925 to $3.75. The
good dehorned fleshy feeders and good
light stockers have the best call, the
common grades being slow and dull.
Hogs were in good supply all week
and demand very fair. Prices are a
little lower than week ago. bulk now
selling at $3.50 to $5.65.
Sheep supply was good but the de-
mand was strong and the market firm.
The demand for good fat sheep and
lambs is much better than supply, as
receipts included few of these last
week. Good feeders are also wanted,
several buyers having orders for stuff
that they could not fill last week be
cause the stuff was not available.

Feeding New Corn to Hogs.

Whether or not new corn causes
cholera or swine plague, it is not best
to begin feeding shoats all they will
eat of new corn. When l begin feed
ing new corn l cut stalks and all as
long as they chew the stalks, and at
the same time l feed them old corn
till they become accustomed to the
change, says writer in Farmers
Voice Thus l make the change
gradually without causing any de-
rangement of the bowels, which is one
of the prime causes of cholera and all
hog diseases. l have never lost a
hog from feeding new corn, but
have never put hogs on full feed of
lew corn. l cannot say from expert
ence whether or not new corn has
even tendency toward causing dis
eases of SWINE but to guard against 1t
by making gradual change seems to
me the wtaest policy.

sALTING SHEEP.
One Man Who Has Found 1t Better
Not to Provide Salt Box.

Keep salt before the sheep con-
stantly, seems to be the general idea
among farmers. For years l followed
the plan of sailing sheep regularly
or kept salt before them constantly
/ often doubted the policy, but habit
was strong, and l continued the prac-
tice up to few years ago, when
practically discontinued sailing save
during the winter when on dry feed.
and then rather sparingly, explains a
writer in Farm and Home. The re-
suits have been very satisfactory.
When sheep have access to salt
they go to it many times day. thus
creating an abnormal thirst. If water
is not at hand they suffer more from
thirst than for want of salt were it
withheld. From this great thirst
they will drink from any stag
nant pool much more water
than they need, taking into
their stomachs great numbers of dis
ease-breeding germs. While salt may
stop Indigestion when taken in prop
err quantities, it is poisonous when ia
ken too freely.
There used to be under my sheep
! Darn box with lid SO arranged that
stock would lift it and get salt and
then the lid would drop down again,
keeping out all dirt and trash. This
lids dropping down could be heard
frequently day and night, showing
how often the box was visited. A hard
beaten path led from the salt box to
the watering place, about eight rods
away.
1t occurred to me that there was
no use of all this; the sheep were
both eating too much salt and drink
ing too much water. | noticed also
that they had bowel trouble. Since
removing the cause of this great
thirst my flock do not take more than
one-half the water. are quite free
from bowel troubles, and are as con-
tented as before. l do not advocate
feeding no salt at all, but give much
less than is used by many.

A Dry Pen.

The pens of many pigs are not dry,
and with wet pens come dirty pens
So long as the pen of the hog is dry
he will be clean, for he is by nature a
clean animal The hog quarters
should be so well drained that they
will never be even damp, and they
should be cleaned out often. 1t is
a mistake to use the hog yard as
place in which manure can be made
Keep everything dry and save condi
tons that invite disease.

Men Fight to Buy Mrs. Carriers Lingerie

Mrs. Carter, her son. and Payne
were on an auto trip through New
England at the time and Mrs. Carter
did not bother to change her gown
when the nuptial idea took possession
of her.
The collection contained pair Of
shoes and slippers for every pair OF
stockings. One pair OF black patent
feathers with white uppers is Is
inches high, fastening with black but
tons as big as dimes. Gold heels, red
heels, and undressed uppers in as
sorted colors of leather were among
the shoes to be auctioned.
1t was explained that it was not fear
of catching cold that lea Mrs. Carter to
own nightcaps. 1t was to preserve her
couture into a second or third day,
but no sordid motives of economy
actuated the actress-she simply
wanted to avoid trouble.
Wells, belts, shirtwaists, mink furs,
remnants of silk, satin and lace, gilt
braid, guimpes. lace Jokes, feather
fans, a lot of chiffon, ermine skin and
several pounds of jewelry were in the
100 odd lots that the auctioneer held
up to roomful of bidders.
This was the second sale Of per-
sonal belongings of the authenticated
actress who grew into fame under
David Belasco, but whose career has
been dimmed since her marriage to
man two-thirds her age led Belasco to
sever relations with her. The first
sale, of household furniture and auto
mobiles took place not long ago.

GOV. JOHNSON'S SIMPLICITY

Those vigorous protests of Gov
ernor Johnson that he is no friend
of James H. Hill, nor of Tammany
Hall, nor of Wall street crowd
betray great simplicity, taking the
Minnesota governor at his word {.
He wholly misses the point. We
may all agree with him, if he
wishes it so; that neither Hill nor
Tammany, neither Wall street nor
Roger c. Sullivan is his friend.
But the point is that they are
Bryan enemies. They know they
cannot defeat Bryan in the open,
yet they are determined to defeat
him if they can. TO do that they
must first throw the Denver con-
vcntion into confusion. TO do
this they must prevent Bryan from
getting two-thirds on the first bal
lot. That much accomplished,
they hope to pick their man.
Whether Johnson is the man they
would pick, no one knows but
themselves. They might stand by
him throughout the convention,
and they might not. If they Sc
cured his nomination at the con-
vention, they might serve him as
they served Parker also a candidate
whose only platform was that he
could win. But whatever they
may decide later on, their only
present use for Johnson is to wrest
a third of the convention from
Bryan. In this sense, if i'll no
other, Governor Johnson is the
candidate of Hill and Wall street,
of Tammany Hall and Roger c.
Sullivan-in a word, of all the Big
Interests and their political tools.
If Governor Johnson does not see
this, he may be acquitted of con-
sciously conniving with the Inter
ests. But in that case he must be
regarded as altogether too simple
for official responsibility, at time
when there are luscious chestnuts
in the fire and Wall street monkeys
that want the loan of a catspaw,
thank you, to pull them out.-The

Judge Edward Whitson, of the
United States district court of the

today upheld the citizenship Of
Mayor Micheal Miller, of CleElum.
In this case the government sought
to have Cancelled the certificate of

causing to be written upon it the
name of a witness who did not APP

the King county court had issued
the naturalization on the evidence
of one witness and that the addi-
