The Art of Talking and Stop
ping.

In reply to young mans query,
as to how he can improve his con-
versational powers. Success Ma
gazine has the following to say
which might prove of benefit to
many who lack duency, giving
them an idea how to begin.
10 talk we'll you must first have
something to say, and must forget
yourself in saying it. Do not hope
TO interest unless you know some
thing interesting. The first thing
needful is to fill yourself with
ideas. Find a subject that is near
to your heart, and study into it.
Whether it is architecture or ant
hills. try to make yourself an au-
thority on the subject. After you
have sucked this orange, 90 at an
other. Many a so-called good
talker" can talk we'll only on one
subject. But no live mind should
be satisfied with 80 bare a mental
cupboard. Open out into new
horizous; touch life at many points.
Above all do not take your opinions
secondhand; do not let newspapers
tell you what to think. Get exact
knowledge or else speak with qua
LITIGATION. Know for a certainty
that you cannot give out without
taking it. This is the law of mind
as we'll as of matter.
Now, to increase Auency, you
eau for one thing, step in the tracks
of Demosthenes. He went down
to the seashore and practiced bis
speeches ON the waves. So get you
to the orchard or the barn, talk to
the trees aud the birds, or to the
rafters aud the bats. Do not try
to memorize your speeches; be sa-
tisfied if a few phrases stick in the
mind. The habit of writing out
your ideas is also good crutch
for one arm. The habit of thought.
ful reading is the other cruch. Fill
yonr mind and forget yourself;
this is the first lesson.
But above all things do not be
afraid to be silent in company, for
there will be plenty of others who
will he eager to b. heard. And
they will love you as a listener
when they may ouly envy you as
talker. JUDGED many a person has
remained silent in social circle
only to be spoken of afterwards az
a very entertaining person. Bet
ter be toDgue.tied than to degen-
crate into a talk-sot. However
ready you may become as a talker,
do not fail to make long and bril-.
liant pauses in your conversation.
Scribble this bit of wisdom on
your dinner-party Cuffs: BE still;
keep the word within thee. Be
bold; it will not bust thee"

The talk of the town was school
board and the meeting of Monday.
Some of the politicians smile and
think it was great game. a bril-
liant victory; others think it was
usurpation. an outrage and con-
denim the "coup d'etat" as one that
might be applauded in South or
Central America, but not in this,
the land of the free, where right
and justice are supposed to pre-
vail over arbitrary and illegal acts.

Those land owners in the Williston and
Buford irrigation districts, who signed up
with the government, are now sending IN
appears as tho their grievances are Just
ones Before the ditch was started, agents
for the government, represented that the
work of irrigation would average about
$500 an acre, and the farmers would be
given ten years in which to pay Tor it..
The cost has been nearly double. Someone
blundered but the land owners will have
to paw for that blunder. They signed up,
and that is all there is to it. In some cas-
es the bitches were dug too deep and had
to be partially rehlled. That was not the
fault of the land owners. The government
should meet these land owners half way
and make the burden as easy as possible
for them to bear. s.,3s

.s. Louis ". Hill, president OF the Great
Northern received 81 for railroad fare from
the 10000 people who went to register at
the three reservations opened during the
summer, in the neighborhood OF twelve
million dollars. Mr.. Hill says this is mon
ey. that the Great Northern would rather
pive back. We presume so: Let any man
who paid his fare to any one Of those reser-
vations, ask for his money back. and see
how quick Mr.. Hill will send him on his
way rejoicing. It was all right to take
that money no doubt, but why should Mr..
Hill make the idle remark that he'd rather
give it back That's not human nature.
