tries and announced that the imperial
government in negotiating them would
adhere to the old bases of it's tariff
policy. under which trade industry and
agriculture had prospered so well.
Then came the part of the emperor's
speech for which members of the
reichstag were waiting with the utmost
eagerness-that part in which he made
reference to the international situation
and to the expected increase in the
army and navy. There was partial dis
appointment however as the emperor
merely announced the measures in a
general way and did not give any de-
tails.
He said: For the success Of our
work of peace at home and over seas
the empire must remain powerful
enough TO defend at all times its ma
tiOnal honor and its possessions as
well its just interests in the world.
It IS therefore my constant duty and
care to maintain and strengthen. both
on land and on sea, the defensive
power of the German people. which
does not lack young men capable Of
bearing arms Measures with this end
IN view are in preparation and viii be
submitted to you together with pro-
posals for covering the additional cost.
In helping this important work you
will be greatly serving the father
land.
In concluding our agreement with
france we have given new proof of
our readiness to settle internatio nal
difficulties amicably whenever such a
course is cOnsonant with the dignity
and interests of Germany.
Side by side with the maintenance
OF our alliance with Austria-Hungary
and Italy my policy has been stead
lily directed toward the cultivat ton of
friendly relations with all the pow
ers on the basis of mutual respect and
good will
Trusting in the healthy force of
the German people and relying on
Gods gracious assistance, I look with
confidence beyond the struggles of to-
day to the future of the empire.
Il greet you, gentlemen of the new
session Of the imperial parliament, in
the hope that your work will be of
service to the nation and TO the peo-
pie

Munich express arrived at Bregenz the
station master had a coach containing
seven travellers uncoupled from the
express and detained for examination.
He had been warned by telegraph
from Zurich that seven smugglers OF
Geneva were in the train with large
quantity of saccharin After an ex.
haustive search the officials failed to
find any contraband and were about
to apologize to the seven travellers for
their detention when one customs In
spector accidentally kicked hot

All the hot water pipes in the carriage
were in duplicate. differing In no de-

but one set was OF metal and the
other set made Of papier mache con-

Not In the Library.

Mr.. Claptrap arrived at the circula
ting library the other day with his
hands full of small packages and as
cross as two sticks because his wife
had asked him to fulfill some commits.
sions for her while he was out. With
look which was just as disagreeable
as he felt he handed to the little II.
brarian a list which he had made to
aid his memory.
"My wife wants these books" he
said gruf1y. "Be quick about getting
them, il you please. I'm in a great
hurry"
The girl, who was trife shy and
inexperienced, flushed, and, saying
that he should have the books direct
ly, went to look for them. She was
gone some time and when she re-
turned he glared at her Indignantly
and asked If she expected him to
wait all day."
I'm very SORRY" she apologized,
"but you see I've been looking for the
last book on the list. Here are the
other three, but 'Hairpins and Castor
Oil can't find and-and I'm afraid it

NERVOUS !: IN PUBLIC
MANY WoRLD-FAMED SPEAKERS
NEVER OVERCOME THIS.
With Some Il Persists as Mannerisme
-Yawn and Handkerchief Of Late
Duke Of Devcnshlre-c Glad.
stones Peculiar ActIons.

Persons who are unaccustomed to
speak In public believe that their
nervousness i solely due to their In
experience, and that public men can
make speeches as coolly as they make
conversation. In some cases this may
be SO, but few speakers are ever able
wholly able to cast OF their nervous
ness. Sometimes 1t persists only In
the form OF a mannerism, attractive or
otherwise, but some old parliamentari-
ans never escape from the tremors
and terrors which shook them when
their maiden speech was delivered.
The late duke Of Devonshire Is usu-
ally spoken of as the perfect type of
the impressive Englishman. When he
entered the house of commons as Lord
Cavendish, he distinguished himself
by prefacing his maiden speech with
a prodigious yawn. But he was by no
means as languid In fact as he was
in appearance.
When he rose to speak he would
lean one arm on the nearest of the
two iron-bound boxes on the table be-
tween the front benches. After a
slight hesitation and a few quiet
words, the other hand would steal to
the tail pocket of his coat and emerge
holding neatly-folded white cambria
handkerchief. Without unfolding it
he would gently rub the corners of his
mouth, and this done, the hand, still
holding the handkerchief, would rest
on the hip or be thrown back.
Sitting near him, one could observe
that the grip on his handkerchief
frightened, and that the muscles of the
hand were in continuous action. At
the close of his speech the hand
opened, and one saw not the clean,
folded cambria handkerchief. but only
a solid, greasy ball, which was quick
~ returned to the pocket. Here was
the safety valve for the impressive no.
bleman's nervousness.
Gladstone was one in whom nerv-
BUSINESS had become mannerism.
When he rose to speak he began with
a few gracious words on the speech
which was about to follow, or some
pointed remark as to the character
and importance Of the subject. In
his earlier days this was, no doubt
to s'get his breath"
His next act was to raise his right
hand over his head with the thumb
bent down and gently scratch his
skull. That is rather common among
public speakers. The third action of
Mr.. Gladstone was his peculiar and
individual sign. Throwing his arms
downward by his side, he would with
his fingers seize the cuffs of his coat
and draw these down over his shirt
cuffs SO as to conceal them complete
". The ordinary practice Is just the
reverse, the desire, being to expose
and not conceal the white linen of
the shirt cuffs. These were the In
variable preludes to the great COM
moner's speeches.-Pall Mall Maya
