HOW TO PREPARE SPEECHES
John BRIGHT Considered What 1t Was
That He Wished to Impress
Upon His Audience.

Don't speak unless you have
something to say. Don't be tempted
to go on after you have said it, was
the advice of John Bright, the great
orator. His biographer, Mr., r b.
O'Brien, says that he took great pains
in the preparation of his speeches. He
thought the subject over night and
day, and sometimes committed the
peroration and other important pas
sages to memory, although in the
main he trusted to the inspiration Of
the moment for the words in which
to clothe his ideas. Writing to cor
respondent in 1888, Bright said:
'As to modes of preparation for
speaking, it seems to me that every
man would readily discover what
suits him best.
ITO speak without preparation, es'
pecially on great and solemn topics.
is rashness, and cannot be recon-
mended. When l intend to speak on
anything that seems to me important,
consider what it is that ! wish to
impress upon my audience.
Il do not write my facts or my ar
guments, but make notes on two or
three slips OF note paper, giving the
line Of argument, and leaving the
words to come at call while | am
speaking. There are occasionally
short passages which for accuracy /
may write down as sometimes, almost
invariably, the concluding words or
sentences may be written"
Upon one occasion he gave Mr.. G..
w. e. Russell some hints about speech
making.
"of course" writes Mr.. Russell, 81
cannot recall verbally what he said.
but it was Like this

too thoroughly, but it is easy to over

yourself to swim to the next island.

dry dock Dewey at Olongapo. sixty

on Guantanamo, and the protection of

In Twilight
RLIGHTED BY THE THAW CASE

The recent conviction and sentenc.
ing to state prison of Dan O'Reilly for
his participation in theft committed
in New York serve to draw attention
to the remarkable series OF misfor-
tunes attending various persons con-
nected with the Thaw case O'Reilly
was one of the lawyers on the Thaw
side and has never had a days luck
since he was mixed up in it, While
the crime for which he has been SEN
fenced and which disbars him as a
lawyer had nothing to do with the
case of Thaw, many believe that it
was the nemesis of the White tragedy
which worked his undoing. So far
the lives of thirteen persons mixed up
one way or another in the case have
been blighted.

Letter From Rev. Green.

Newell, SD,
Dec. 20, 1910.
NV dear Mrs. Smith: l have had 1t
in mind for a long time to write you
so that you might know how much
we appreciate your kindness In allow
ing us to store our goods in your
house. 1t seemed at one time that
we should have to put them into the
street, but thanks to your kindness,
and the help OF Mrs. Johnson, the
difficulty was solved. We want you
to know how grateful we are, and l
enclose the bill SO that you may have
some tangible expression of III appre-
citation.
We are very pleasantly located in a
little tar paper shack Of IA by "A feet
in size, which gives US a living room
and two small bedrooms. l suppose
you saw houses Of that sort about
Canton in the early days. 1t Is not
small, nor poor up here where all are
living in the same way, but looking
forward to better things. Every
thing is the newest of the new, but
the very air is full Of expectations;
every n is looking ahead.
Church work Is as new as every
thing else. l was, and am, the first
and only resident minister. Since
coming here l have held services in q
hardware store, a land office, a house
| without a roof, a restaurant, school
house, tent, from a store steps, and
now we are using a dance hall and
skating rink. We have it comfortably
seated with benches of my own manu-
facture, and find it the best place OF
all. We have about a dozen at the
morning service, a Sunday School of
perhaps thirty, and a good evening
congregation-largely of men. The
work goes pleasantly, and with
promise, and both Mrs. Green and my
self are enjoying it very much. l
have charge also, OF a little church
nine miles away where 1 go every
Sunday afternoon. Just now Mrs.
Green and l are busy in PREPARATION
for the first Christmas entertainment
ever held in this locality: We are
planning for a big and a good time.
The children are enjoying getting
ready for it, and in that we get our
pay for the work.
It seems as though we were q good
ways from Canton-42O miles-and yet
in the same state! The weather is
delightful. No snow at all, roads dry
and hard, crisp nights with the mer-
curry down toward zero, and days of
sunshine one after another. We are
not in the hills, but out on the prairie
some thirty miles East. The hills,
however are plainly 10 view, covered
with their pines, and flecked with
snow, and seem so near, that one Is
tempted to walk over and climb some
of them some morning before break
fast! A beautiful country
