OF YES RDAY
RE GREAT ORATOR WHO WAS FAITHFUL BURKE.
H 0 Ii AND"

the English language, Burke was the
superior of any of them.
"Choate was graduated from Dart
mouth shortly after / finished my
tutorship there and entered the min
istry, and / heard little or nothing OF
him after that until he had gained
reputation both as a lawyer and as
an orator, though l had looked for
him to take up literature and become
teacher. probably in Dartmouth.
Then, one day, In reading a speech
that he had delivered, was struck
with the thought that he had been in
fiuenced in his manner Of thought and
his style by a close study of Burke.
Instantly there came back to me most
vividly the remark that Rufus Choate,
when a college lad had made to me
about Burke. Since then / have read
speech after speech Of Choate's, and
they all make it plain to me that, as
man, he has been faithful to his
boyhood admiration for Edmund
Burke. And perhaps because he has
been so faithful is one great reason
why he is so great an orator, so Won
derful a master Of the English Ian
guage."
Many years after my father had
told me of this talk woth DR.. Bond
it became known to me that Rufus
Choate, at the time his cousin, Joseph
H. Choate, formerly ambassador %
Great Britain, was beginning the
study of law, wrote to the latter these
words: Remember that these four
are the great minds of England !:
Shakespeare, Bacon, Milton and
Burke. And remember, also, that OF
these Burke is not the least"

BY The United Press.

sneze Of a hippopotamus, Max Har-
wist, cook on the steamer President
Lincoln, of the Hamburg
Line, fell overheard during his trip
over.
The steamer was stopped and the

a big chunk Of well ripened limburger
cheese, which HARVEST threw into the
pen in which the big hippo was con-
fined. The animal snapped it up,
gulped. then began to roar.
At the first sound from its cavern
Gus mouth the frightened cook jump
ed backwards, tripped on a crate, and
slid under the rail into the sea- Har-
wist was I'm bad shape when rescued,
but was little the worse for his ex-
perience when the steamer made port
today.

When Rufus Choate, universally
conceded to be one Of the greatest OF
American lawyers and orators, and a
most brilliant student of the classics
and English literature and history,
entered Dartmouth College in 1915.
the Rev DR.. Alvan Bond, who was for
nearly forty years pastor of a Con-
gregational Church at Norwich,
Conn, and in his day one of the fore
most clergymen Of his denomination,
was "A tutor at Dartmouth.
Rufus Choate became student
under me in Latin" DR.. Bond told my
father years afterward. Il thought
that when he entered the classroom
for the first time he was the hand
soonest lad had ever seen. His hair
was brown and very curly, his eyes
were dark, he had a beautiful COM
plexion. But il was, after all, a
singular intellectual revelation which
was in his face, his manner, and his
speech which especially attracted me,
and ] am sure, all OF his fellow stu
dents.
His translations of the Latin
classics were beyond any comparison
the finest that / ever heard in the
classroom. They were faithful in ex-
pressing the meaning of the Latin
text, but, unlike most classroom
translations, Rufus Choate's we're ex-
pressed in singularly beautiful Eng

Light summer clothes are more easily
damaged than winter fabrics. That is good
and sufficient reason why they should be
washed with Fels-Naptha in cold or luke
warm water.
In washing with Fels-Naptha there is
no boiling or cooking to weaken the deli
cate hbres, no hard-rubbing to fray them,
no injurious chemicals to eat holes in them.
But there are other reasons. 1t is far
easier on the woman who does the wash
ing. There is no hard-rubbing, no blister
ing FIRE, no scalding suds to steam the face
and redden the hands.
Fels-Naptha soap does its work best in
cold or lukewarm water, dissolving the
dirt so it can-be washed away with a simple
rinsing. Sounds easy and comfortable,
doesn't it, And it is just as easy and COM
Portable as it sounds if you use Fels-Naptha
the Fels-Naptha way.
Follow the directions on the
red and green wrapper.
