ONE ON FRANK
Good Story Relating to +. N.
Eddy's SpeechTaking
Experience

Hon. Frank NJ. Eddy of Sank Gen.
ire has had varied experience in the
line of oratory, especially of the cam
paign variety. Frank tells lots of
good stories on himself relative to his
experience on the platform aud else
where. Here is one of the best of
them which of late has been going
the rounds of the press:
Some years ago Frank visited the
little town in New. York state where
his father was born. The good people
OF the town asked him to make a
speech and filed the town hall for
him. Eddy started in by praising
New York, but did not get hand.
Then he tooka hack at this great and
glorious country, but there was not
ripple of applause. He knew they
were all republicans and he extolled
the accomplishments of the grand
old party-to no avail. They sat ST.
lent. Then, desperate, he began to
abuse the democrats. No result. He
quit with a starry flag peroration
amid dense silence.
When Eddy finished the chairman
rose and said.
Sin view of the most excellent ad-
dress the congressman has given us,
would move that we give him three
cheers. 1t is so ordered. Let the
meeting dispense"

A recent paper presented to the
Royal Institution At London, in dis
cussing the question OF the metals
used by the great nations Of antiquity,
pointed out that gold was probably
the first metal known to man because
it Is generally found native. The old
est metallic objects to which We can
assign probable date are thought TO
be those found In . royal tomb at
Nagada In Egypt supposed to have
been that Of King Menes. In one of
the chambers were some bits of gold
and bead, button, and fine wire
Of nearly pure copper. II the tomb
has been properly identified, these OBJ
jects are at least $500 years old. Near
~ all the ancient gold that has been
examined contains silver enough to
give it a light color. It was gathered
by the ancients in the !, bed Of the
