ONLY ONE QUESTION.
That Was All the interIoper Had to
Ask the Orator.

That Was All the interloper Had "a
Ask the Orator.
The orator was laundering along,
carrying everything before him.
Since the days of Daniel Webster
the audience had heard nothing to
equal it. Spellbound, they listened
to his torrential eloquence, and
then right in the midst of period
glowing with passion and rhetorical
beauty there came a drawing voice
from the rear of the hall.
Cali I want" said the interloper,
'tis to ask you one straight ques-
ton"
every good, my friend" said the
orator. "And what is that ques-
ton ?"
The interloper proceeded to
drawl out very sockdolager. 1t
was such a question as would
stump speakers of any age. Who
could be expected to answer such
poser offhand? The audience
turned breathlessly to the orator to
see how he would meet it, but they
were treasured to find him still
smiling.
"Well," he said after few mo-
ments' cogitation, scratching his
head thoughtfully, "that is poser.
In fact, / do not know that in
twenty years. experience on the
public forum I have ever had so
difficult question put to me to be
answered offhand. Nevertheless I
will try to meet the gentleman's
wish, and in answer to his request I
will say this"
Whereupon there followed bril-
liant exposition Of all the points
bearing upon the proposition thus
unexpectedly presented. The reply
was masterful. It showed a re-
sourcefulness in debate that was
unparalleled in the experience Of
his hearers, and when he had fin
