other afternoon that played to stand ing room only He brought into the arena and exhibited it so all could 1 see his unrivaiied collection of trained adjectives and awe inspiring nouns, sending them through various intri' cate evolutions-driving them single, double, in fours, sixes and tandem forcing them to eat from his hand : combining them in picturesque pyra- mids and other palpitating postures; making them do death-defying flip flaps from one gigantic sentence to remarkable power of the observant mind and the tenacious memory over the wild deRizens of the dictionary and the thesanrus.
 Well. well. good people" said Mar tin, here we are again with our un- paralleled aggregation of sibilant synonyms, antonomastic antonyms, contumelious caconyms and tuneful tropes. Nowhere else on earth can be found such a collection of opposite ad- jectlyes, adjutory adverbs, novitious nouns and vorticular verbs After years of patient exploration in the ieopardous iungles of Webster, the arenaeeous acres of Funk and Wag- nails and the refreshing rosetum of Roget. I shall exhibit before you this afternoon the fruits of my toll
 And he marched them in. two by two, the antithesis and the huliabaloo, the hyperboIe and the sweet goo-goo, the metaphor and the rhapsodoo; and everybody said there had been noth- ga aT~a~sr afaT AM hon na1rsl chortled for three hours and forty min utes in blonk verse about equal righta for all and special privileges for nore which is deuced odd for Sheppard comes from Texas--and SO does Mar tin Littleton.
 However. Texas is an extremely large state-an Empire Herself, as all Texas orators say--and we needn't worry about that phase Of the subject; for though Texas is producing prose poets she is also producing steers ard onions and cotton and oil and other utilitariap stuff, and maintaining the balance Of traGL
 To get back to Martin and his show: It seems that Arizona, along about last year, received some three hun dred thousand copies of Jonathan Bourne's speech on representative gov ernment. which shows that Jonathan is a liberal young thing when it comes to sending out speeches a regular speech-thrift-for there are only two hundred and four thousand people in Inc territory -or thereaboiIts. In. nuenced, no doubt. by this generosity, the gentlemen who came to be en- saged in the construction of constr tuition for the stateto-be hastily stuck in the initiative, the referendum ana the recau. which in turn, caused much debate when said constitution reaehed congress.
 Rieht here is where Martin huiged in. He had remained silent during inc discussion Of those various mat ters that had occupied the attention of the democratic house until this moment. but when he saw the Iudlci- arv tottering 10 it's fall, because oi the recall provision in that constitu- ion. he rushed to the defense Of the erlnine and brought his flock oi apt and ardent-nOt to say alltteratiVe adiectiyes with him.
 h was hard to do; but after we d-s associated the libretto of Martins ar elnent from the music, We discovered that he feels deeply on the sup]ect oi the recall Of judges, and IS agih
 10 his guying dasp-no!-not that his dying gasp.
 AIIiterative Assistants.
 Martins speech confined rev other words than adjectives and nouns and adverbs. but they were eompar'-'. lively unimpOrtant. They cut no sls' nifv " as Charley Potter used to say. FIintnating them. this is the way Martin handled his rhetorical assisl ance: .,,z,, ,.- s5o,s - reckIessly accuse - stainless judge = lying liugant = mendaelols effort - fabricated cause - unscrupu- Ions hand - ruthless weapon - cul- rahIe confederates Of the convicteu ,ninaI- irresponsible faction - cor norate bandit = ileorrupubie court = scrarian agitator - substance anu S,5-oroIs of order - crooked creed - venaI volunteers - pretehuous plo S cram empire of intrigue -oelt anu secret sign - swarms or s"liaps daring demagogue - supernciai sell'.- ment- impugned ,impeachea' ous rseed and dishOnored -shattereWu ~ fame - foreclosed honor -spineiess seeker = idle invertebrate - lrreso- Iufe tinesaver - sibilant hiss - me'' ciless mOb. -o
 Of course there were many more osnacieliy after Martin, who craitiiy
 ,v,thheld the effort for revision for several days, had had time to thinh ! adiectitbouCy; but herewith are enough to show what sort of an ora sorieal hairpin Martin is. l betray nc l confidence when I tell you AorIis i Shennard rushed tumultously from the 1 han and was seen throwing hts o' 1 jealousy beneath the statue Of JonI !
